Innovative Solutions: Protective Space Suits for Astronauts , August 19, 1962
Item — Box 16: Series CAC_CC_31_6_0000_0000_0000, Folder: 21
Identifier: CAC_CC_31_6_16_21_15
Scope and Contents
Scientists are working on developing a protective suit for astronauts working outside their spacecraft in space. Current full-pressure suits are not adequate to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures on the moon or in space. Engineers have proposed a multi-layered coverall garment with insulation to control heat input and loss. The suit aims to keep the astronaut's body temperature at 75 degrees while in contact with the body. Special attention is given to protecting the hands and...

The Effects of Low Gravity on Astronauts: A Study of Physical Deterioration , August 26, 1962
Item — Box 16: Series CAC_CC_31_6_0000_0000_0000, Folder: 21
Identifier: CAC_CC_31_6_16_21_16
Scope and Contents
Scientists have found that astronauts returning from extended lunar landings may face difficulties readapting to Earth's gravitational field. Studies show that prolonged exposure to low gravity can lead to deterioration in various anatomical subsystems and physiological functions. Muscles, bones, the cardiovascular system, urinary system, gastrointestinal system, and neurological system are all affected by the lack of gravitational stimuli. To prevent physical deterioration, astronauts are...
