Spacesuit

A spacesuit is a garment worn to keep a human alive in the harsh environment of outer space, vacuum and temperature extremes. Spacesuits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure and are necessary for extravehicular activity (EVA) work done outside spacecraft. Spacesuits have been worn for such work in Earth orbit, on the surface of the Moon, Mars and Venus. Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
The use of an Extravehicular Mobility Unit in space allows a greater degree of freedom for the astronaut.
