Hola Sarah A.

This is a good question. Even though un traje espacial is masculine, in your sentence the adjective does not refer to the suit itself. Instead, it refers to la calidad, which is a feminine noun. For that reason, the correct form is su calidad es muy buena.

If the adjective were describing the suit directly, then it would indeed take the masculine form: el traje espacial es muy bueno. The key is to identify which noun the adjective is modifying.

I hope this clarifies it. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Saludos

Silvia
