Long before the Curiosity Rover was sent to Mars to search for signs of life, it had to be tested here on Earth. So NASA created an electromagnetic shielding tent that was designed to completely block out external electromagnetic radiation during testing… like someone sending a text, turning the microwave on, or chatting with the James Webb telescope. We’ve now taken that technology and converted it into our first Shielding Suit. The outer shell of the Shielding Jacket is embedded with pure silver that blocks radio waves and microwaves in the frequency range 0.2GHz to 10GHz – which includes WiFi, Bluetooth, Ku-band satellites and radar systems. It also deflects mid and long wave infrared radiation so it can’t be seen on infrared cameras. And it comes with a phone shielding pocket that works like a Faraday cage – blocking access to your devices, regardless of whether they’re switched on or off.
