The National Aeronautics and Space Administration presents this film from the late 1960s and the administration’s logo is the image that is shown in the opening sequence at 0:20. The U.S. Government and NASA present information about the lunar space suits and how they protect each astronaut, specifically using “Astronaut Andy“ as an example at 1:14. The film uses cartoon depictions to portray an astronaut in a lunar space suit to illustrate what happens in space and how the suits perform to keep flight crew safe from hazardous conditions (1:15-4:04). Actual astronauts or stand-ins are shown wearing the real suits while the narrator describes safety and functional features from the first to the last layers of the materials (4:05-7:25). Components including a constant wear garment, a liquid-cool undergarment, a pressure garment assembly (including a helmet and gloves), a portable back pack life-support system, and a thermo micrometeriod garment are worn by a model astronaut throughout the film (4:18-4:39). Apollo flight crews will wear these suits and the film describes all the instruments as well as the process of each layer. A functional test is described for purposes of evaluation of temperature controls (6:00-6:20). The film provides a great deal of information and details about the lunar space suits for potential flight crew training purposes. At 8:00, a schematic shows the suit capabilities in simple format to illustrate its mechanisms for usage in missions. Backup safety features are also described for the potential wearer of this garment set, inlcuding a secondary emergency oxygen supply system (9:30). Multiple tests are performed, detailed, and an analysis of the results and any design changes are described (12:50-14:00). The Manned Spacecraft Center of NASA constructed portions of the suits. This educational video for astronauts and other NASA affiliates provides an in-depth analysis and review of the lunar space suits.
