Welcome to The 2009 Astronaut Glove Challenge - Volanz Aerospace Inc./Spaceflight America - This 19-page 2009 Astronaut Glove Challenge rules document (PDF) is dated October 1. The highlight:

For the 2009 Challenge, teams must provide a complete glove, which consists of the thermal micrometeoroid garment (TMG), unpowered bladder and bladder-restraint portion of the space suit that covers the hand of an astronaut up to and including the wrist joint.

This is a significant change from the last competition. In 2007, only the bladder and bladder-restraint portion of the glove (inner glove pressurized layer and restraint) was tested.

Team Agreement, prize information and competition dates will be announced at a later time.
