How Astronauts Put on Space Suits

Показать описание

We've all seen NASA's white space suit that astronauts have been wearing since the Apollo missions. But what does an astronaut wear underneath that iconic suit's shell? We visit NASA to learn about all the essentials of extravehicular space wear, all the way down to the emergency diapers.

It is not a diaper, it is a high absorbency garment.

the diaper is missing in sandra bullock's gravity movie

I like the interview guy. He is so awkward lol. Also, you can tell he is really interested in the subject. It made me excited too 😊

Just watching this is amazing. We get to see all of the technology astronauts use in space ( even if it totally looks 60’s ). I love these types of videos

The NASA guy looks like he's been out all night at some kind of space dance party. I look more sprightly when I've been awake for 3 days.

I'd like to know more about the kind of insulation they use to shield the astronauts from the space around them. The way the gloves and the lower torso attach, are things that I would have liked to see.

best looking space suit ever, its my favorite, the EVA's should of been replaced when the space shuttle program ended and moved on to something less bulky now, but I still like these type of suits, they seem very futuristic to me.

It's clear by reading some of the posts, that some "smart" people making comments about the vacuum of space, and a vacuum on earth don't understand the significant difference between the two.

it take 6 hours just to put on a spacesuit and there are step that have to be done before they go outside. Step 1. all astronauts must remove their clothing and put on a diaper women have to also put on absorbent pads inside their bras and use tampons. once this is done next they put on their garments and install bio med sensors where their heart is located and where their lungs and pulse are located. once this task is complete then the cooling garment is put on and connected to their drink bag. astronauts have two of these one to drink and one to cool them off. once this step is complete prior to the spacewalk they have to spend the night in the airlock at a low pressure to get all nitrogen out of their system so they don't get Bends. On the day of the spacewalk the astronauts then put on the legs and use special suspenders to hold them up until the hard torso is connected once the had torso is connected and zipped up then the arms are installed and the gloves are put on and checked for punctures. once the gloves are on the next step it to put on the snoopy cap and the absorbent pads in the helmet before the helmet itself is put on and locked. Leak checks must be done prior to the spacewalk and all filters need to be checked if a filter fails the suit will leak and water will get into your helmet ask Luca he almost drowned outside. Once the leak checks are finished the suit is turned on and hooked to the umbilical then the SAFER Pack is put on and they are stuffed in the airlock and it is vented into space. once the airlock is at vacuum the suits are switched to battery power starting the spacewalk clock then the hatch is opened and we don't see them for 7 hours. once the spacewalk is complete the airlock is pressurized and everything is taken off and they put their regular cloths on before they go to dinner.
