Abstract

During space flights, astronauts use equipment allowing protection against many environmental factors. During tests realised in Russia, space suit efficiency was evaluated particularly concerning cold protection capacity in cold water (3 degrees C) and in cold air (-30 degrees C). Obtained results prove that this equipment allows to prevent hypothermia in cold water and ensure thermal comfort in cold air.
