Introduction A space suit is a garment worn to keep a human alive in the harsh environment of outer space‚ vacuum and temperature extremes. Space suits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure‚ and are necessary for extra-vehicular activity (EVA)‚ work done outside spacecraft. Space suits have been worn for such work in Earth orbit‚ on the surface of theMoon‚ and en route back to Earth from the Moon. Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment
