At -180°C, a few minutes maximum... then you froze and if you don't slip on
organic matter frozen you will be asphyxiated :-((

that's a question for NASA space suit people!

my guess is that a person couldn't last long in a 'current' suit. the
extreme low temperatures would be one factor, the other more dramatic
ones being unpredictable surface density (seems the probe landed on a
crust over a slushier material) and whatever the atmosphere might do.

A suit could probably be designed with current technologies to do the
job though, it would be getting someone there over a 7 year period that
would be more difficult (as well as bringing the person back!)
