ISS037-E-029029 (5 Nov. 2013) --- In the International Space Station's Pirs docking compartment, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov, Expedition 37 flight engineer, wearing his Russian Orlan spacesuit, prepares for a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) scheduled for Nov. 9, 2013.
Boeing's new spacesuit designed to be worn by astronauts flying on the CST-100 Starliner. Seen here being worn in the same manner as it will on launch day for the walk to the spacecraft at Space Launch Complex 41, the suit is lighter and more flexible than previous spacesuits but retains the ability to pressurize in an emergency. Astronauts will wear the suit throughout the launch and ascent into orbit as well as on the way back to Earth. Starliners will launch atop Atlas V rockets from United Launch Alliance on missions including flights to the International Space Station for NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

Engineers and technicians at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston are testing the spacesuit astronauts will wear in the agency’s Orion spacecraft on trips to deep space. On March 17, members of the Johnson team participated in a Vacuum Pressure Integrated Suit Test to verify enhancements to the suit will meet test and design standards for the Orion spacecraft. During this test, the suit is connected to life support systems and then air is removed from Johnson’s 11-foot thermal vacuum chamber to evaluate the performance of the suits in conditions similar to a spacecraft. The suit, known as the Modified Advanced Crew Escape Suit, is a closed-loop version of the launch and entry suits worn by space shuttle astronauts. The suit will contain all the necessary functions to support life and is being designed to enable spacewalks and sustain the crew in the unlikely event the spacecraft loses pressure. This is the first in a series of four tests with people in the suits to evaluate the performance of the spacesuit systems in an environment similar to a spacecraft.

Made the oxygen pressure regulator with LEGO. It is attached to the O2 tank in the spacesuit backpack. The actual valve drawing from the published literature is also shown for reference.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden speaks with NASA staff in space suits at the Langley Research Center's Centennial float on Thursday, Dec. 1, 2016, at Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. While in Hampton, Administrator Bolden also participated in several events highlighting NASA's "human computers" featured in the film "Hidden Figures". The film stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson, the African American mathematician, physicist, and space scientist, who calculated flight trajectories for John Glenn's first orbital flight in 1962.

The suit displayed here was first used by pilots of the famous SR-71 high altitude reconnaissance plane, on display in the Cosmosphere lobby. The full pressure suit provided the pilot with oxygen and artificial atmospheric pressure. Connected directly to the aircraft, the suit was therefore dependent on the integrity of the craft to maintain life support. However, the suit was capable of maintaining pressure temporarily on its own in the event the pilot was forced to bail out. The SR-71 flight garment was successfully adapted for spaceflight use by space shuttle pilots in the early days of the STS program.
Here's the Sapphire Spacesuit, another old build! As a kid, I only owned one LEGO set containing these rare metal blue parts, which is such a cool color! I designed this spacesuit 12 years ago or so, and it's survived intact up until now almost entirely due to its colors!

A nice ensemble of items from the Mercury space program arrived recently:
• Gordon Cooper’s spacesuit pocket, which flew with him around the Earth 22 times in 1963 on the Faith 7 spacecraft, marking the end of Project Mercury and the last single-astronaut mission. I’ll post a close-up of his signature on the pocket below (He wrote "Flown on Faith 7 Gordon Cooper" along the top). This detachable pocket is made of the same material as the silver space suit with Velcro on both sides (back when Velcro was everywhere, before the Apollo 1 fire) and a hand-tooled leather “Faith 7” sewn in the middle of the tab. It was used to hold checklists and personal items he took on the flight (he kept the pocket for his personal collection after the flight). MA-9 was the first U.S. flight to last more than a day, passing over nearly every part of the world, and it took a recovery team of 28 ships and 171 aircraft. During this extended flight, virtually all capsule systems failed. Nevertheless Cooper was able to manually guide the spacecraft with the retro thrusters to a pinpoint landing.
• Mercury Thruster Plug used during recovery operations at sea. 7.25” long with rubber seals, it was inserted into the RCS engines upon recovery. The particular plug and affidavit of its use comes from Ed Pavelka, who worked for NASA JSC for 30 years, initially as Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO) and eventually Chief of Operations Division.
• Mercury Fuel Valve Pin with a large “Remove Before Flight” banner in red fabric. These are used during pad prep where the safety pin mechanically prevents premature ignition. The hard to miss banner is a visual aid that’s hard to miss. (We use smaller versions with the HCX flight computers, and for a wonky sartorial flair). A metal cord runs through a hole at one end of the banner, looping through the metal safety pin on one end and a metallic Convair-Astronautics tag on the other (with “Lock Assy Fuel Valve” stamped at the top, and part number of 27-21245-1).
So, these are artifacts from before, during and after the flight.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy declared "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
To reach that lofty goal, astronauts needed not only a vehicle capable of launching them into space, but also clothing that would keep them alive during the journey. Like a form-fitting personal spacecraft, an astronaut's spacesuit ensures survival in the most hostile environment imaginable. The result of years of research, design and engineering, the spacesuit made Kennedy's vision a reality.

The SK-1 was the latest in a long line of suits built by Zvezda ("star"), the Soviet Union's leading maker of aircraft pressure suits and ejection seats. The firm built its first pressure suit in 1952-53. Zvezda products orbited Earth before Gagarin's flight. The dogs Belka and Strelka rode in a Zvezda-built container during the second unmanned Vostok test flight in August 1960, and SK-1 suits containing dummies flew two unmanned Vostok flights in March 1961.
Over the course of six Vostok flights that carried cosmonauts, Zvezda continuously improved the SK-1. In 1963, the firm modified an SK-1 for Vostok 6 cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Her suit, designated SK-2, featured narrow shoulders, glove improvements and other changes.
The First Space Suit
Vostok 1 lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome on April 12, 1961, with Yuri Gagarin on board. The pioneering cosmonaut wore a protective SK-1 space suit similar to the one displayed here. This suit, used for training Vostok cosmonauts, was very likely worn by Gagarin as he trained for his historic voyage into space.
The 51-pound SK-1 suit was built up of layers with different purposes. The orange outer layer made it easy for recovery helicopters to spot the cosmonaut on the ground. Other layers prevented chafing and provided ducts for air circulation. Four layers would keep the cosmonaut warm and dry if he splashed down in icy water. A flotation collar would then inflate to keep him afloat until help arrived. The SK-1 helmet visor shut automatically for launch, reentry, and in case the Vostok capsule lost pressure. Pockets held a pistol, a knife, a radio, and shark repellant.

This spacesuit was worn by John Glenn during the first orbital flight of a U.S. astronaut. The flight took place on February 20, 1962 and lasted for 4 hours and 55 minutes, during which time he traveled 75,679 miles and orbited the earth three times. This spacesuit was developed by the B.F. Goodrich Company from the U.S. Navy MK-IV full pressure suit and was selected by NASA in 1959 for use in Project Mercury.
