Overview of Spacesuits for Survival and Escape

Discipline: Environmental Control/Life Support

Dr. Jonathan Clark reviewed the pressure suit used for high altitude and space programs. Learning objectives included understanding the role that spacesuits play in crew survival and crew escape and recognizing the design tradeoffs (capabilities and limitations) and concerns that rescue and escape spacesuits have in a survivability situation.
