Pascal Lee and his team are developing advanced space suits for Mars exploration. These suits aim to prevent toxic dust contamination and are tested in the Utah desert, which mimics Martian terrain. The suits must be flexible and robust to withstand Mars' harsh conditions. After field tests, the team returns to the lab to refine their designs. Pascal's ultimate goal is to aid astronaut exploration and human colonization on Mars.
