Excerpt: The A7L Apollo & Skylab spacesuit is the primary pressure suit worn by NASA astronauts for Project Apollo, the three manned Skylab flights, and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project between 1968 and the termination of the Apollo program in 1975. The 'A7L' designation is used by NASA as the seventh Apollo spacesuit designed and built by ILC Dover. The A7L is a design evolution of ILC's A5L and A6L. The A5L was the initial design. The A6L introduced the integrated thermal and micrometeroid cover layer. Aer the AS-204 spacecra fire, the suit was upgraded to be fire-resistant and given the designation A7L. Neil Armstrong described his Apollo 11 A7L space suit as 'tough, reliable and almost cuddly.' A7L without outer-layerThe basic design of the A7L suit was a one piece, five-layer 'torso-limb' suit with convoluted joints made of synthetic and natural rubber at the shoulders, elbows, wrist, hips, ankle, and knee joints, 'link-net' meshing to prevent the suit from ballooning at the joints, and a shoulder 'cable block' assembly to allow the shoulder to be extended and retracted by its wearer.

  • Ask Astronaut Alexander Anything
    Ask astronaut Alexander anything 11 March 2014 German European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Alexander Gerst is all set for the 'Blue Dot' mission to the International Space Station in May. Crewmates NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman and commander-cosmonaut Maxim Surayev will hold a media conference on Tuesday 18 March 2014 and ESA is inviting you to ask questions via Twitter. Alexander is putting the finishing touches to his training before he heads to the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan in May. There, he will enter quarantine with his crewmates to make sure they do not bring any harmful viruses or bacteria to the orbital outpost. The trip to space is surprisingly short: within around six hours the Expedition 40/41 crew will dock with the microgravity laboratory orbiting 400 kilometres above Earth at 28,800 kilometres per hour. Once aboard, the new crew will have a week to get acclimatised to living without the benefit of gravity before their heavy workload begins. During their six months in space they will assist in the docking and unloading of six visiting spacecraft that ferry supplies and experiments. Alexander is prime operator for Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle, meaning he will monitor the arrival and take responsibility for distributing the 2600 kilograms of items in its cargo bay. Alexander's science roster includes using the Electromagnetic Levitator for the first time. This furnace can melt and solidify metal alloys without a container, allowing scientists to understand the finer properties of these metals. Questions ESA is offering you the chance to ask the astronauts a question during the press conference via Twitter.

  • Testing of the Z-2 Space Suit at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory
    47th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2017-250 16-20 July 2017, Charleston, South Carolina Testing of the Z-2 Space Suit at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory Ian M. Meginnis,1 Richard A. Rhodes,2 Kristine N. Larson,3 and Amy J. Ross4 NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, 77058 The Z-2 space suit is the product of the last fifty years of NASA’s space suit research and testing experience. The Z-2 suit was originally developed as an exploration space suit for use on a planetary surface, such as the moon or Mars. However, Z-2 could also be used in microgravity at the International Space Station (ISS) to supplement or replace the existing extravehicular mobility unit (EMU). To evaluate the microgravity performance of Z-2 for compatibility at the ISS, the suit was tested in NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL), which is the primary simulated microgravity testing environment for space suits. Seven test subjects, including five astronauts, performed various tasks that are representative of the tasks performed at the ISS. Test subjects performed tasks in the Z-2 suit and the EMU so that relative comparisons could be drawn between the two suits. Two configurations of the Z-2 space suit were evaluated during this test series: the EMU lower torso assembly (ELTA) configuration and the Z-2 lower torso assembly (ZLTA) configuration. The ELTA configuration, which was the primary test configuration, is comprised of the Z-2 upper torso and the EMU lower torso. The ZLTA configuration is comprised of the Z-2 upper torso and the Z-2 lower torso, which contains additional mobility elements.

  • Complex Garment Systems to Survive in Outer Space
    Volume 7, Issue 2, Fall 2011 Complex Garment Systems to Survive in Outer Space Debi Prasad Gon, Assistant Professor, Textile Technology, Panipat Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pattikalyana, Samalkha, Panipat, Haryana, INDIA [email protected] Palash Paul, Assistant Professor, Textile Technology, Panipat Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pattikalyana, Samalkha, Panipat, Haryana, INDIA ABSTRACT The success of astronauts in performing Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) is highly dependent on the performance of the spacesuit they are wearing. Since the beginning of the Space Shuttle Program, one basic suit design has been evolving. The Space Shuttle Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) is a waist entry suit consisting of a hard upper torso (HUT) and soft fabric mobility joints. The EMU was designed specifically for zero gravity operations. With a new emphasis on planetary exploration, a new EVA spacesuit design is required. Now the research scientists are working hard and striving for the new, lightweight and modular designs. Thus they have reached to the Red surface of Mars. And sooner or later the astronauts will reach the other planets too. This paper is a review of various types of spacesuits and the different fabrics required for the manufacturing of the same. The detailed construction of EMU and space suit for Mars is discussed here, along with certain concepts of Biosuit- Mechanical Counter pressure Suit.

Oliva2 Jacobs Engineering Technology, Houston, Texas, 77058 As our nation focuses on its goal to visit Mars by the 2030s, the NASA U.S. Spacesuit Knowledge Capture (SKC) Program continues to serve the spacesuit community with a collection of spacesuit-related knowledge. Since its 2007 inception, the SKC Program has been collecting and archiving significant spacesuit-related knowledge and sharing it with various technical staff, along with invested and interested entities. The program has sponsored and recorded more than 80 events, and continues to build an electronic library of spacesuit knowledge. By the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, 60 of these events were processed and uploaded to a publically accessible NASA Web site where viewers can broaden their knowledge about the spacesuit’s evolution, known capabilities, and lessons learned. Sharing this knowledge with entities beyond NASA, such as space partners and academia, provides a tremendous opportunity to expand and retain the knowledge of space. This valuable SKC Program now serves as an optimum means of archiving NASA’s spacesuit legacy from the Apollo era to the pursuit of Mars. This paper focuses on the FY 2016 SKC events, the release and accessibility of the approved events, and the program’s future plans. Nomenclature ARM = Asteroid

The current NASA spacesuit, the mission [1, 2]. Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), might be thought of as the ‘world’s smallest spacecraft’ and is quite an engineering The EMU is pressurized to 29.6 KPa, using 100% oxygen for achievement. However, the EMU has also led to discomfort and spaceflight and a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (nitrox) for musculoskeletal injuries, mainly due to the lack of mobility in training. It is made with 14 different layers, and it consists of the pressurized suit that makes moving and operating within the suit challenging. A new musculoskeletal modeling framework is three main components [3], as shown in Figure 1: developed in OpenSim to analyze human-spacesuit interaction and musculoskeletal performance during EVA.

  • NASA Advanced Space Suit Pressure Garment System Status and Development Priorities 2019
    49th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2019-185 7-11 July 2019, Boston, Massachusetts NASA Advanced Space Suit Pressure Garment System Status and Development Priorities 2019 Amy Ross1 and Richard Rhodes2 NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, 77058 Shane McFarland3 NASA Johnson Space Center/KBR, Houston, TX 77058 This paper discusses the current focus of NASA’s Advanced Space Suit Pressure Garment Technology Development team’s efforts, the status of that work, and a summary of longer term technology development priorities and activities. The Exploration Extra-vehicular Activity Unit (xEMU) project’s International Space Station Demonstration Suit (xEMU Demo) project continues to be the team’s primary customer and effort. In 2018 the team was engaged in addressing hardware design changes identified in the Z-2 pressure garment prototype Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) test results. These changes will be discussed. Additionally components whose first iterations were produced in 2018 will be discussed. A full pressure garment prototype, termed Z-2.5, was assembled that is composed of updated and first prototype iteration hardware. Z-2.5 NBL testing, performed from October 2018 through April 2019 will inform final design iterations in preparation for the xEMU Demo preliminary design review planned to occur in the third quarter of government fiscal year 2019. A primary objective of the Z-2.5 NBL testing is to validate changes made to the hard upper torso geometry, which depart from the planetary walking suit upper torso geometry that has been used over the last 30 years. The team continues to work technology development, with GFY2018 work being used to supplement and feed the gaps left by the scope defined for the xEMU Demo.
