Describe the space suits worn by astronauts.?

The current suit is composed of hard rigid sections and flexible joints.  They have to be custom fitted to the astronauts. \nSpace suits protect astronauts and give them air to breathe while working in space. The parts of a space suit are: a helmet with a clear front so the astronaut can see to work; an upper section that is hard around the astronaut's chest but with flexible arms and gloves; and a flexible lower section with boots that let the astronaut move around easily. The suit protects the astronauts from hot and cold temperatures and the vacuum of space.\n\nEach suit has an air pack called a Primary Life Support System and a built-in radio. Astronauts working outside the Space Shuttle talk to each other on the radio, because the vacuum of space doesn't carry sounds.\n\nAstronauts sometimes move around in their suits outside the Shuttle using handles built into the Shuttle, and they can lock their boots into special holders so they can work in the bay of the Shuttle.\n\nWhen astronauts have to leave the bay of the Shuttle and fly to a satellite a short distance away, they wear a backpack that has small rockets built into it. The backpack is called a Manned Maneuvering Unit. Using hand controllers, a lot like a computer game, the astronaut can fire the rockets and fly out to repair a satellite.\n\nI'll place some links to site that give cool Astronaut space suit info.\n\nNow what is really, really cool is a new material that has come out.  It's totally flexible but will harden with impact force.(Sci-Fi writers have been dreaming of this stuff for decades)  It can also be made into a space suite and used for deep sea pressure suites.  I'm don't have the details of how it all works but the material is made and both kinds of suits are being developed, along with ballistic armor for the military.\n\nAs a side note they have also developed Transparant Aluminum which can stop a 50 cal shell.

William Shatner was actually wearing one back during the original Star Trek series, in 1969. I am sure that the "piece" got bigger and bigger as he aged. I actually think he had some pretty neat ones as they looked great on him.

Well, first they adjust their body to the pressure, by jumping into the water and staying for a period of time.  I believe the suit also has some effect.\n\nThe pressure of water compacts the body in a way, so I would think smaller lungs for breathing, muscle cramps, etc.

No space suits are worm, infact tubing has to be run inside the space suit with water running through it to keep the astronaut cool. A space suit is like a mini space ship, it is completly closed from space and there is now were for your body heat to go.So without the water filled tubing you would cook in the suit.

Air - it is contained in the spaces of woolly and fibrous material such as clothing to keep people warm.\n\nCeramic - such as used on heat shield of spacecraft.\n\nPlastic - used on handles of saucepans.

Obviously you need to access a library. Searching UCLA's online catalog I found the following publication from NASA which has short biographical sketches of all astronauts and cosmonauts:\n\nTitle:  Astronaut fact book [electronic resource]\nPublished/distributed: [Washington, D.C.] : National Aeronautics and Space Administration\nSeries: Information summaries\nInformation summaries (United States. National Aeronautics and Space Administration)\nSubject(s): Astronauts --United States --Biography.\nRecord ID: 4969887\nCollection: UCLA Libraries and Collections\n\nThe library link is: \nhttp://catalog.library.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=2&ti=1,2&Search%5FArg=biography%20AND%20astronaut&Search%5FCode=CMD&SL=None&CNT=50&PID=11922&SEQ=20060317211641&SID=6\n\nThe document link is:\nhttp://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/nautfb.pdf\n\nCopyright date (although this is a public domain document) is July 2003. Publisher is National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The orange suits are known as Advanced Crew Escape Suits (ACES) and are worn only during liftoff and reentry.  These suits are fully pressurized and include locking components that ensure that if the astronauts need to escape from the shuttle they will not loose any of the components and thus pressure from the suit.  The suits also contains a parachute harness and a survival pack. The orange color is to increase visibility of the astronauts so rescue crews would be able to find them in the event of a bailout from the shuttle.\n\nThe white suits are standard space suits and do not have any of the safety features of the ACES as they are only to be used in space, thus do not need to be equipped with a survival pack or a parachute.  The white color is also more conducive to a space environment as it reflect sunlightt thus helping to prevent excessive heating from sunligh on the suit.

If he/she can't return to the ship, they will likely suffocate as soon as their supplied oxygen runs out.\n\nIf they are naked (ie, no space suit) then it is much uglier. They are basically in a vacuum and the blood will burst out of every capilary. Imagine a hickie all over your body.
