Peter Homer

Flagsuit LLC was founded in 2007 to commercialize technology developed for the winning entry in the 2007 NASA Astronaut Space Suit Glove Competition. Based in coastal Maine, the company is focused on streamlining the production of "Made o Fit" elements for suborbital and future planetary space suits. Our capabilities include the design, rapid development and manufacture of "articulating inflatable" structures.

Peter K. Homer is the developer of an innovative new space suit glove design that is strong, easy on the hands, and gives the operator a higher degree of dexterity. Working alone at his dining room table, Peter designed and then manufactured the best performing glove within competition parameters, winning NASA's 2007 Astronaut Glove Challenge.

In 2009, the company developed the gloves and protective Thermal Micrometeroid Garments (TMGs) that won the second NASA Centennial Challenge. These gloves incorporated many second generation innovations that increasde hand dexterity while decreasing glove stiffnes (effort) by a factor of tow over priot designs. Flagsuit's winning gloves were more than twice as flexible as the NASA Phase VI glove in finger and wrist bending torque tests.
