Space suits
Space suits hanging in a row from hooks. These space suits, known as Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs), have been designed for use during shuttle missions and allow the astronauts to spacewalk independently of the space craft. The suit consists of many components including a one- piece undergarment carrying cooling pipes, a semi- rigid upper torso section and a flexible lower torso/leg section. A helmet, gloves and Primary Life Support Subsystem (PLSS) can be fitted to the suit. These suits can be re-used, which was not the case for previous space suits

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a row of space suits hanging from hooks, each one representing the remarkable Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs). These cutting-edge suits have been meticulously designed for astronauts to embark on awe-inspiring spacewalks independently of their spacecraft. The EMU consists of various components, including a single-piece undergarment equipped with cooling pipes, a semi-rigid upper torso section, and a flexible lower torso/leg section. Completing the ensemble are the helmet, gloves, and Primary Life Support Subsystem (PLSS) that can be seamlessly fitted onto the suit. What makes these EMUs truly groundbreaking is their reusability—a significant advancement compared to previous generations of space suits. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to explore the vast expanse beyond our planet. The empty suits hanging in anticipation symbolize both the courage and curiosity that drive us to venture into the unknown realms of outer space. In this snapshot captured by Science Photo Library, we catch a glimpse into an extraordinary world where protective clothing becomes an essential lifeline amidst the boundless cosmos. It serves as a testament to mankind's ingenuity and determination as we continue our quest for knowledge and unraveling mysteries within our universe.
