one or more modular proximity sensors affixed to corresponding one or more portions of the atmospheric suit, wherein each of the one or more proximity sensors is configured to provide a distance to a nearest object from the corresponding portion of the atmospheric suit; and
processing circuitry configured to obtain the distance from each of the one or more proximity sensors to the nearest object and to provide information to a wearer of the atmospheric suit regarding the distance to the nearest object detected by the one or more proximity sensors;
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to provide the information as a haptic output via a feedback device on an inner surface of the atmospheric suit;
wherein a location of the feedback device on the inner surface corresponds to a location of a proximity sensor of the one or more proximity sensors on an outer surface of the atmospheric suit.
