Astronauts could wear a space glove fitted with a range-finding laser

Astronauts rely on highly-engineered and sophisticated pieces of equipment to survive in space, and none are more essential than the parts which form their suit. Now, the European Space Agency (ESA) has revealed a concept glove that makes the protective equipment smarter and more interactive for the wearer. It will feature a range-finding laser, a display screen to show the suit's status and gesture control technology allowing people to control machines, such as the martian drone or lunar rover, with a flick of the wrist.
