| ||||| Sunday, March 03, 2002 - 06:27 pm Because there is no atmosphere in space, temperature is a little hard to define. For example, something can be very hot and very cold at the same time if one side faces the Sun and the other faces deep space. In order to keep the astronauts (relatively) comfortable, their suits contain a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), which regulates their skin temperature (and the gas inside the suit). Each astronaut can set the suit to a temperature that is comfortable for them (and also depending on whether they will be working in the Sun or while facing deep space). For more information on astronauts, please try the Q&A site for Mission Control at: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/feedback/ | |
