Spacesuit Design for Space Missions
An astronaut suit is essentially a personalized, self-contained spacecraft designed to keep a human alive in extreme environments. The suit features heavy multi-layer fabric protection, flexible jointed gloves, and an integrated helmet visor. Smiling explorers wearing equipment like this perform repairs outside space stations and conduct science experiments in microgravity.
How Astronauts Prepare for Spacewalks
Before stepping outside a spacecraft, astronauts spend hours breathing pure oxygen to purge nitrogen gas from their bloodstreams. This preparation prevents decompression sickness when entering lower-pressure pressure suits. Underwater training tanks on Earth simulate neutral buoyancy, allowing crew members to practice tool handling and spacewalk maneuvers before actual missions.
Colors of Extravehicular Suits
- Spacesuit outer fabric: bright protective white or high-visibility orange
- Visor glass: reflective gold or dark mirror finish
- Wrist gloves: white heavy fabric with gray reinforced rubber fingertips
- Suit patches and fittings: red, blue, and metallic silver
