Wonder of the Universe Apollo Moon Suit Design at Franklin Institute
James V Correale of the Manned Spacecraft Center outlines required Apollo era space suit features and design criteria. The suit must provide full mobility under pressure, micrometeoroid and thermal protection, survive four hours on the lunar surface, and operate in a 3.7 psi 100 percent oxygen environment with extreme temperatures. A water cooled undergarment and a liquid loop circulate four pounds of water per minute to maintain thermal balance.
