Another Name Is A Portable Life-Support System
The inventor of the space suit was Zachery Hansen.
It's NASA's name for an independent space-suit - Extra-vehicular Mobility Unit.
The space suit was invented by a team of engineers at the International Latex Corporation (ILC) in 1961. It was developed to protect astronauts during spacewalks and other extravehicular activities in space.
1931
The first practical space suit was invented in 1934 by engineer Emilio Herrera. This early design incorporated features that were later used in modern space suits.
The type of space suit you would need depends on the environment you will be in. For low Earth orbit missions, you would require an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU). For deep space missions, such as travel to Mars or beyond, a different type of suit with enhanced radiation protection and life support systems would be needed.
The emu suit is designed to mimic the natural thermoregulation mechanisms of the emu bird, which is effective in managing temperature. It typically incorporates materials that provide insulation while allowing moisture and heat to escape, preventing overheating. The suit also utilizes ventilation systems that can be adjusted based on external conditions, helping maintain a stable internal temperature. Overall, the emu suit balances heat retention and dissipation to adapt to varying environmental temperatures.
The pressure inside a space suit is maintained at around 4.3 psi (pounds per square inch) to provide a breathable atmosphere for astronauts in the vacuum of space. This pressure is necessary to prevent the astronaut's bodily fluids from boiling in the low pressure environment of space.
It's called a space suit
Evgeniy Chertovsky created the full-pressure suit or high-altitude space suit, including helment, "skafandr" in 1931.
"Emu in Space" refers to the popular video game "Emu's Space Adventure," where players control an emu navigating through various levels in space. The main parts of the game typically include the emu character, different space environments, obstacles, and power-ups that enhance gameplay. Players must overcome challenges and enemies while exploring the vibrant and imaginative space settings. The game often emphasizes fun mechanics and engaging visuals to create an enjoyable experience.
