Each spacesuit was custom made to the measurements of the astronaut wearing it. The suits were entered from the rear. The inside of the suit was constructed of a nylon comfort layer, a neoprene-coated nylon pressure bladder and nylon restraint layer.
The outer layers of the spacesuit consisted of a material called Nomex, two layers of a Teflon-coated Beta cloth, followed by layers of neoprene-coated nylon, layers of Beta/ Kapton spacer laminate, and an outer layer of Teflon-coated Beta cloth. During the EVA periods, a liquid-cooling garment was worn closest to the skin.
The helmet was a clear bubble designed to attach to the spacesuit neck ring. The gloves were built of an outer shell of Chromel-R fabric and thermal insulation to provide protection when handling extremely hot and cold objects. The blue fingertips were made of silicone rubber to provide more sensitivity.
on les enfilait par l'arrière donc large ouverture. Pour la garantie d'étanchéité à la pressurisation, c'est pas top. on voit ce que donne un trou de la taille d'une épingle dans un pneu.
là, en plus si c'était une fermeture éclair :
bref, pas de plomb dans la tenue. juste des couches de tissu, empilées.

DuPont in Space
Nylon, invented by DuPont, was a major component of the early Apollo program’s space suits, which continued to be improved for greater mobility and heat-resisistance. For the historic Apollo 11 mission that allowed mankind’s first steps on the moon in 1969, 20 of the 21 layers in each space suit was made with DuPont inventions, including Nomex® fiber, Teflon® fluoropolymer, Kapton® polyimide film, Mylar® polyester film, Lycra® spandex, neoprene, and nylon. In fact, the first U.S. flag placed on the moon was made of DuPont’s nylon.
dans cette liste, y a t-il un écran contre les radiations, quelles qu'elles soient ?
l'autre andouille de Haaa pourrait le dire.
