Like the spaceship itself, a spacesuit must be designed for the specific job to which it is assigned. For example, just as a spaceship designed to effect a landing on an atmosphered body will differ from one which has to alight on an airless body, so the spacesuit which is to do duty on the Moon will differ in detail from one that has to operate in the presence of an irrespirable atmosphere. In the following survey we shall be examining and providing for the requirements of a specified case- viz., a spacesuit designed for service on the surface of Earth’s satellite.
