Beyond perfect. Thank you so much for doing this.
Edit:
The unevenness in the detail lines of the backpack could mean this was built out of foam? If it were printed why wouldn't these be cleaner?

Great pictures, that give away Helmet is way off from the original. It's like a Rubies Halloween costume version of the helmet. It looks like it may be smaller than the movie Helmet or else the proportions are off.

Awesome!
I doubt I will be able to improve upon these, but I will be swinging by the Arclight later this week. Let me know if there is anything people want a different angle of.
**** just got real!

Since you are going to be there, The close ups of the filming Helmet were great but if you could get a full profile of the prop( basically the same shots that were taken of the give away Helmet are what I need of the filming prop.) P.S. if you bring a ruler as well would be great.
Try going at night/have a polarizer on your lens. The light kept reflecting off the building the entrance faces and I was having a butt-ton of problems with glare.
Have a friend hold your ruler and when the employees ask, say you're a student at Art Center and you're doing research for class.

Shots of the back and front of the comp would be nice. If possible
Especially the thin side that isn't visible.

This image below suggests that the print on the fabric is something thicker than just regular ink.
And it seems to be the same type that is used for the grey lines in the circuitry pattern seen below.

I've been thinking it was embroidered and that looks like the case.

I don't think it's emdroided, it looks more like rubber.
I agree Andreas. It has the look of a thick silk screen print. I think the somewhat embroidered appearance just comes from the texture of the fabric showing a bit through the print. Also insofar as having the fabric made for the production, printing is infinitely easier than embroidery.
I think the circuitry is a print over a stitched pattern.

Probably a raised silicone print.
Can probably just silk screen it with Silicone Ink.

The circuit areas looks like a rubber heat transfer. Cut the shapes then "iron" it onto the fabric.

Noticed some things here, and that the NASA logo is made of brass which is really nice
Edit:
Those straps I thought was neoprene might be just neoprene with some vinyl or paper glued over it from the looks of it.
