Project description


The project is based on space suits, especially EMU suits. The suit is white to reflect sunlight with the dual purpose of limiting its heating and highlighting the black of the space. It has a reinforced visor in the helmet to avoid damage related to collisions with small meteorites and a night visor to see even when the conditions are not optimal. Also in the helmet there are communication systems that resemble headphones located outside, they work thanks to an antenna positioned in the backpack behind the shoulders, thanks to this system the astronauts can communicate with the crew on the ground or with the one on the spacecraft. The gloves are designed to keep the heat but not to be too thick so as not to limit too much agility, the same feature is found in the whole suit, that is to say that they are not too bulky. In the back of the suit we find the survival “backpack” or rather the place where the oxygen arrives pumped directly from the space station. The suit’s pressurization is 0.29 ATM. Inside the suit is lined with special fabrics such as neoprene on the outside they are coated with reflective fabrics or Mylar, known as white fabric, to reflect the sun’s rays. Even if you can’t see inside, both the cooling tights in which the water flows to cool the body. In addition, the suit is able to offer radiation protection, insured for most of the Mylar.
