| Before you
draw your design for a spacesuit, make sure you
use the steps outlined in Lesson 7, The Design Process. Your problem, as engineer, is to design a spacesuit that will meet these requirements: Protect the astronaut from heat, cold, zero pressure, radiation, and meteoroids. You also need to consider maneuverability, control, communications, oxygen, carbon dioxide removal, and electrical power. Search the NASA web site for additional information to help you with your design. In particular, you will find NASA's excellent curriculum, Suited for Spacewalking, useful for this project. Don't be limited by the actual design of the shuttle EMU. Use your imagination, but work within the constraints of the problem. When you have completed your design, please share it with us.
