Collection: space suit

A space suit, also known as an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), is a protective garment worn by astronauts during spacewalks or extravehicular activities (EVAs) outside a spacecraft. Designed to provide a life-sustaining environment for humans in the harsh conditions of space, a space suit must offer protection against extreme temperatures, pressure differentials, and micrometeoroids. These high-tech suits consist of several layers, including an inner cooling garment, a pressure bladder, and an outer thermal micrometeoroid garment. Developed through years of scientific research and engineering advancements, space suits are essential for enabling astronauts to explore and conduct experiments in the vacuum of space while ensuring their safety and survival.
