Where:

How:

A spacesuit is much more than just clothing an astronaut wears to do spacewalks. It is a life-sustaining spacecraft! Deemed an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or EMU, spacesuits protect against the harsh environment of space. NASA crew support are tasked with designing a suit that ensures astronauts are protected from the extremes of microgravity, solar radiation, space debris, fluctuating temperatures, and the vacuum of space all while enabling astronauts to still have the freedom to move and do repairs on the ISS.

In this session, participants will engage in hands-on investigations to understand the science behind this extreme environment, the effects it has on the body, and how this shapes the design of life-sustaining space suits.
