    For any living thing to survive the great void of space they would have to overcome many things here are a few.

    1.extreme cold/heat far beyond what we could ever experience on earth and at some point no suit can protect you.

    2.Internal pressure of your body and the VACCUM of space could make you either implode of explode.

    3.No oxygen and no way to move yourself (an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force)

    There are quite a few variables and it is a very broad question but to make it a short answer it would need the same things a human would need in space. a suit/oxygen/jets to move

    However no living creature can survive in the void of space for very long, no matter what supplies you have the conditions are just to extreme.

    The exact same things we need. Oxygen, water, heat source, cooling systems, radiation protection, and so forth.

    mostly the same things a human would need.... air, water, food, a way to dispose of wastes, warmth, cool air,too when needed, a protection from cosmic rays, artificial gravity to keep bones strong, etc.....
