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

What year was space suits invented?
The first space suits were invented in the early 20th century, with the first practical design developed in the 1930s by Russian engineer, Yuri Gagarin. The suits have since evolved to meet the needs of space exploration and protection from the extreme environment of space.
Why are oxygen tanks and space suits needed to explore in space?
Oxygen tanks and space suits are needed for space exploration because there is no air in space and anyone there without suitable coverings and sources of oxygen would quickly die.
How can astronauts protect from radiation?
Astronauts can be protected from radiation by their suits. The space suits are designed for it only.
What do astronauts wear outside the international space station?
They wear space suits
How heavy were the space suits?
Apollo era suits weighed 245 pounds (or 40 pounds in lunar gravity). Suits used on current space shuttle and space station EVAs weigh 195 pounds but are effectively weighless on astronauts. Suits used by shuttle astronauts during ascent and reentry weigh 80 pounds. Suits used by the Russian Federal Space Agency for the soyuz program during ascent and reentry weigh 20 pounds. Suits used by the Chinese space program for EVAs weigh 260 pounds
What are space suits?
These are the suits that the astronauts wear when they travel to outer space.
Do astronauts seem comfortable in space suits?
Yes space suits are comfortable because of the padding in the suits.
When was In Our Space Hero Suits created?
In Our Space Hero Suits was created in 2008.
Why don't astronauts freeze when they go into space?
They have heaters in the ships and space-suits.
Where do you get space suits and space food?
Space suits and space food are specially manufactured. They are not available everywhere but only specific areas.
What temperatures can space suits withstand?
space suits can withstand minus 250 to 250 degrees fahrenheit
Who invented space suits?
Space suits were developed by a team of engineers and scientists at NASA, led by aeronautical engineer Russell Colley. The first space suits were worn by astronauts in the early missions of the Mercury program in the 1960s.
How do astronauts survive in outer space?
with space suits
What the astronauts wear when traveling to space?
space suits
Why do they where space suits in space?
in space. Nevermind, the astronauts wear space suits because otherwise they would die due to the Sun's radiation and the extremely low temperatures in space. And because there isn't air in space.
What are some facts about don cherry?
604 suits
How will people in space breathe in space?
