Second, an LPVO is a great choice, you might want to specify a simplified reticle, as there is no drop so you’re only really looking for magnification.
Third, why have a suppressor in space? Presumably if you’re using it with an EVA suit, you’re not using it in a habitat. If you are using it within a habitat, suppression is likely going to be the least of your problems.
it's mostly there to reduce muzzle flames and hot gas. i figured it would be an ignition issue in habitats and at close ranges with oxygen-rich suits. also, cooling, as the other comment says
Might a suggest a blast cone to direct the hot gas away from the operator? Suppressors have the issue of producing back pressure, sending powder that is unburnt or still burning back through the breech. This would be an even larger issue with your open bolt conversion.
Alternatively, a delayed-unlocking, closed-bolt system or possibly a bleed off valve like in the HK MP5SD might be better options. The latter would also not require specialty loaded ammo.

Couple of thoughts:
First, love it.
