Abstract

An overview of the improvements made on the spacewalking suits and equipment used to assemble the International Space Station (ISS) while in orbit is presented. Details are given on the adjustable heaters and helmet lights. The tools used are shown, and the safety equipment, such as space life jackets and stiff tethers, are described. Astronaut training in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) and shuttle simulators also are seen.
