Itprotects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside in space.NASA’s first spacesuits were made for the Mercury program. Mercury was the first time NASAastronauts flew into space. The Mercury suits were worn only inside the spacecraft, NASA’s firstspacewalks took place during the Gemini program.Why Do Astronauts Need Spacesuits?Spacesuits help astronauts in many ways. The suits protect astronauts from getting too hot or cold.Spacesuits also give astronauts oxygen to breathe while they are working in space. The suits hold waterto drink. They also keep astronauts from getting hurt by space dust. Space dust may not sound verydangerous. But when it moves faster than a bullet, the dust can hurt someone. The suits even havespecial gold-lined visors to protect eyes from bright sunlight.What Are the Parts of a Space suit?A spacesuit is made up of many parts. One part covers the astronaut’s chest. Another part covers thearms and connects to the gloves. The helmet protects the head. And the last part covers the astronaut’slegs and feet. Some parts of the suit are made of many layers of material. Each layer does somethingdifferent. Some keep oxygen in the suit while others protect astronauts from space dust.Under the suit, astronauts wear another piece of clothing. It covers their body except for the head,hands and feet. Tubes are woven into it. Water flows through the tubes to keep the astronaut cool.On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack. The backpack holds oxygen so astronauts can breathe. It alsoremoves carbon dioxide that astronauts have breathed out. The backpack also supplies electricity forthe suit. A fan moves the oxygen through the spacesuit. A water tank holds the cooling water.Connected to the back of the suit is a tool called SAFER. SAFER has several small thruster jets. If anastronaut floated away from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back.
