Some safety measures that are built into space suits are:
- Maximum Absorption Garment (MAG) - collects urine produced by the astronaut
- Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) - removes excess body heat produced by the astronaut during spacewalks
- EMU Electrical Harness (EEH) - provides connections for communications and bio-instruments
- Communications Carrier Assembly (CCA) - contains microphones and earphones for communications
- Lower Torso Assembly (LTA) - lower half of the EMU including pants, knee and ankle joints, boots and lower waist
- Hard Upper Torso (HUT) - hard fiberglass shell that supports several structures including the arms, torso, helmet, life-support backpack and control module
- Arms
- Gloves - outer and inner gloves
- Helmet
- Extravehicular Visor Assembly (EVA) - protects the astronaut from bright sunlight
- In-suit Drink Bag (IDB) - provides drinking water for the astronaut during the spacewalk
- Primary Life Support Subsystem (PLSS) - provides oxygen, power, carbon dioxide removal, cooling water, radio equipment and warning system
- Secondary Oxygen Pack (SOP) - provides emergency oxygen supply
- Display and Control Module (DCM) - displays and controls to run the PLSS

∙ 14y agoYou would become unconscious within 15 seconds because there is no oxygen.
Your blood and body fluids would "boil" and then freeze because there is little or no air pressure.
Your skin, heart and other internal organs would expand because of the boiling fluids.
You would face extreme changes in temperature:sunlight: 248 degrees Fahrenheit / 120 degrees Celsius
shade: -148 F /
You would be exposed to various types of radiation, such as cosmic rays, and charged particles emitted from the sun (solar wind). -100 C

∙ 13y agoWell i know that spaceships have certain tiles on the outside to keep the heat out and protect the astronauts, but also you could of things they might need like medical supplies or tools to fix problems that happen on the mission, sorry i can't be of more help :(
