EVA-class Mjolnir (Extra Vehicular Activity), also known as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant, is a MJOLNIR armor variant produced by the Materials Group. It is designed to improve the survivability of Spartans when performing extra-vehicular activity in the vacuum of space.[4][5]

Design details[edit]
The EVA variant for the Mark IV still required a T-PACK for maneuvering in zero gravity.[4] The Mark V EVA variant had a shielded visor.[1] The Mark VI EVA variant focuses on increasing exo-atmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity without the original use of back thrusters.[5] The helmet also contains a single-beam laser TEAMCOM system for communications.[4] The EVA helmet is capable of supporting AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE and AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE Command Network Modules, COURIER PEARL Hardened Uplink and Type C1 UA module.
Development history[edit]
As early as 2525 developmental Mjolnir permutations utilized physical architecture that would eventually be used for EVA.[7] The MJOLNIR/V variant was developed and tested at a UNSC Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility facility in Lister, Aigburth on Ganymede, integrating feedback gathered
