Description Letter

This piece of equipment lets an astronaut "chill out" while in space. It contains a radio, a cooling system and a fan. H

The name of this piece of the EMU describes it perfectly. It is worn on the inside. It has a hook up which checks the astronaut's heart rate and reports it to mission control. It looks like NASA's version of the extension cord. Q

All the electrical power needed for a walk in space is provided by this piece of equipment. It's even rechargeable. L

Thanks to this piece of the EMU, no astronaut ever has to be late for dinner. The sewn-in wristwatch and pieces which hold on to small tools make this a real handy piece of equipment. I

In order for an astronaut to talk to mission control, this part of the spacesuit must fit just like a cap. E

Astronauts become very thirsty while working in space. This part of their EMU holds water and has a straw so they can grab a quick drink. N

Though it looks silly, this part of the EMU is needed to keep the astronauts cool. It fits the astronaut like a new pair of pajamas. A

Most astronauts have very hard heads. Without this part of the EMU, though, their hair could be messed up by asteroids blowing by. D

Their favorite pair of shoes might not be along for the trip, but no need to worry. This part of the EMU protects an astronaut's feet from passing meteoroids. P

While wearing this piece of the EMU, every astronaut looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's strong enough to support the life support system, the helmet, and the drink bag. B
