    A suitport is when the whole back opens for donning/doffing. There have been concepts for surface EVA suits where the whole suit stays “outside” of the vehicle and just docks via the suitport so you dont need to worry about tracking regoglith in.

      Ooh yeah, I’ve seen some concept art for those. Seems like a neat idea.
