Connue officiellement sous le nom de scaphandre EMU (pour Extravehicular Mobility Unit), la combinaison est constituée de deux composantes principales : la combinaison spatiale comme telle (SSA, pour Space Suit Assembly) et le système de survie de base (PLSS pour Primary Life Support System). Le SSA comprend : [1] un dispositif de collecte d'urine, qui permet de recueillir les matières qui sont ensuite transférées dans le système de gestion des déchets de la navette; [2] un système de bio-instrumentation, utilisé pour suivre la fréquence cardiaque de l'astronaute en sortie extravéhiculaire; [3] un vêtement de refroidissement par liquide et de ventilation, ressemblant à un caleçon long de spandex et parcouru par quelque 90 mètres de petites canalisations où circule un liquide de refroidissement (eau); [4] une unité de communications, désignée bonnet «Snoopy», comprenant des écouteurs et des microphones pour assurer les communications bidirectionnelles. Les modèles récents permettent à cinq personnes de communiquer ensemble; [5] une partie inférieure, composée d'un pantalon et de bottes intégrées. [...]; [6] une partie supérieure rigide (HUT pour Hard Upper Torso) faite de fibre de verre; elle supporte le système de survie de base; [7] des gants, dont les extrémités de caoutchouc améliorent la dextérité de l'astronaute. Les modèles les plus récents sont dotés de chauffe-doigts, d'un casque avec visière réglable pour protéger la tête et les yeux du Soleil direct, des rayons ultraviolets et infrarouges ainsi que des micrométéorites. 2, record 1, French, - combinaison%20spatiale
