Space suit Challenge

Our topic is Space so we had a Space suit challenge.

First of all we watched a video to find out about the space suits astronauts on the Space Station use when they go outside.

The suits need to keep them alive.

The suits have air in them so they can breathe.

They have lights on the helmets so they can see at night time.

They have a tether so that they can't float away too far.

They have a camera on their helmet too.

They have grippy gloved to hold on to the rails.

They have 2 masks on the helmet. One is reflective to protect their eyes from the sun and the other is clear for using when it is dark.

The suit has tubes with water in them to keep the astronaut cool.

The suit is pressurised.

They suit has to be flexible enough for moving around.

There is a computer on the front of the suit so that  the air pressure and water can be checked and controlled.

The suit protcts the astronauts from mini meteorites.

It keeps them warm in the freezing vacuum of space.
