What else can I help you with?
Why are the astronaut suits insulated?
Space is cold!Sunlight is very intense in space, causing rapid heating of exposed surfaces. Spacesuits are white to reduce this solar heating effect, but it doesn't eliminate it.
How does the pressure in the astronaut's suit help the body work?
The pressure in the astronaut's suit helps to counteract the lack of atmospheric pressure in space, preventing the body from swelling due to the vacuum of space. This pressure also helps to maintain a stable environment for the body's fluids and gases, allowing the astronaut to breathe and move more comfortably in space.
Why do you blow up in space?
In space, there is no atmosphere to equalize pressure, so any air or gas inside an astronaut's body expands and causes the body to "blow up" or swell. This is known as decompression sickness or the "bends," and it can be dangerous or even fatal. Proper pressurized spacesuits are used to protect astronauts when in space to prevent this from happening.
To any astronaut what is an Eva?
EVA stands for Extravehicular Activity, which is when an astronaut goes outside the spacecraft to perform tasks in space. During an EVA, astronauts wear specialized spacesuits to protect them from the harsh environment of space. EVAs are critical for activities such as repairing spacecraft, conducting experiments, and maintaining equipment outside the spacecraft.
What is the pressure gauge on a space suit for?
The pressure gauge on a space suit is used to monitor and maintain the correct pressure inside the suit to ensure that the astronaut is protected from the vacuum of space. It helps regulate the suit's internal environment and ensures the astronaut can breathe and move properly.
Why an astronaut needs a pressurized space-suit all round his body?
The spacesuits are worn to mentain the pressure.
Will astronaut feel hot in their spacesuits?
No the suits are regulated to protect them from the freezing cold of space.
How is an astronaut supported and protected in space?
The spacesuits protect them, also they use oxygen cylinders.

How can spacesuit protect a Astronaut?
Spacesuits can protect astronauts from the cold, give them air and sometimes reduce radiation levels.
How do you go to the tolite in a space suit?
Spacesuits have a urine collection bag that is attached via rubber tubing to astronaut genitalia.
Is there a certain color for spacesuits?
White, because it is easier to spot in the black background of space, and it reflects light in order to prevent the astronaut from over heating.
Where does the astronauts get there spacesuits from?
The spacesuits of the astronauts are given by N.A.S.A.

Why astronaut wear space suit?
Actually they are not anymore. You might remember spacesuits used during the project Mercury to be shiny silver, but all spacesuits designed since the 60s have a flat white outer covering. Retaining heat is not an issue in a spacesuit, quite the opposite. All the heat generated by the human body must be removed from the suit. All spacesuits have a cooling device built-in and there is very little if any ability to heat the suit. Usually there are little heaters in the fingertips but that's about it.
How do spacesuits protect from radiation?
Spacesuits protect astronauts from radiation by incorporating radiation-shielding materials, such as layers of specialized fabric and metallic elements like aluminum. These materials help to block and deflect harmful radiation particles from reaching the astronaut's body while in space. Additionally, the design of the spacesuit itself provides a physical barrier that minimizes exposure to radiation.
