At the National Air and Space Museum’s Conservation Lab, Adam examines the A5-L, a blue developmental Apollo spacesuit designed to retain oxygen during periods of extra-vehicular activity or unpressurized spacecraft operation. Smithsonian objects conservator Lisa Young takes Adam and astronaut Cady Coleman on a tour of this pressure suit, which would have fit under the white outer cover we’re all more familiar with.

Adam, I was working with a Mechanical Engineer in the 70s that got laid off when the Apollo 1 disaster happened. He was employed by the company making suits from Mercury through Apollo. He told me the mechanical joints built for Gus Grissom were larger on his left arm than his right because it was that much more dominate. Food for thought mate!!

@mikejetzer4155 Год назад

No, the color of the neck ring was not determined by its role in the program ("the blue was for training; the red would have been for flight"). Rather, it was the design of the vent port (the curved, red rubber opening at the back of the neck, visible around 11:44) which fed oxygen through the helmet's vent pad and over the astronaut's face. Blue neck rings on the suits (which matched the blue neck rings on the helmets) had the original design and red neck rings on the suits/helmets had the new design. The Apollo 7 through Apollo 10 crews flew with the blue neck ring but subsequent crews flew with the red ring. It's likely that older suits were later reused for training (some suits which were flown on missions and even worn on the moon were "recycled" into training suits) and so blue neck rings may have become known as "training" equipment, but that was not the original meaning of the colors.

Interesting they have spacesuit engineers coming to Smithsonian to examine how these suits are designed and built, but then there were those ILC engineers that started from scratch (well they had Mercury, Gemini, U2 suits) but had to come up with something you can actually walk on the moon. Previous space walks was no walking.

@martinschulz9381 Год назад

Good video. I didn't know any of the details, but I always knew that there was a lot of engineering involved in making them. They have been trying to figure out ways to prevent wear on the suits because of the very abrasive lunar dust.

@Miller190589 Год назад

What a nice story... I love space suits. Im a design engineer but only work with stiff mateials and I find it so unbelivebly crazy when I see this flexible thing that needs to hold up to so many challanges and because it should fit a lot of differnet sized people it basicly has to go true metamorphosis to fit someone else. As said, you can not just go into your CAD Model and size down or up your components. Fittings, bearings and sawing seams only come in one size for the suit and only the fabric can basicly change. It's so many fields coming together to make those work.

@seldoon_nemar Год назад

Not only did the air force invest a TON of money into finding the average pilot, they build a plane around those measurements. And after pilots were crashing, they did an intensive review and realized not one pilot met the average dimensions. it was like 4 in 10 measurements were "average"

@HaileISela Год назад

i wish there'd be more triangulated meshes in these suits. something like a kagome weave, triagonally woven fabric would be the obvious choice for structurally sound suits that allow for dynamic movement. alan, other than in a decorative manner or as in the kikko plate armor of the samurais, there seems very little of that out there. why not grow a "geodesic dome" that fits a humanimal?

@Czechbound Год назад

The cost of these things would probably boggle the mind. To think that at the same time as these were being developed, the pilot seat of Concorde was being developed. It cost - in 1960 Sterling Pounds - 80,000,000 pounds to develop. Just the pilot's seat ( not the co-pilot seat ). At the time, a family home cost 3,000 UK pounds. If inflation had kept pace with house prices, it would be the equivalent to 7,600,000,000 today. That's how expensive development of new aero / space stuff costs

@davidgold5961 4 месяца назад

There is a really great paperback book, published by the MIT Press, and it explains that the main company that developed the spacesuits was Playtex, the bra company. I’m not making this up. Their skill set for adapting to changing body shapes and movement and conforming to those things worked out really well in the Apollo space program.

@damientonkin Год назад

I recommend the book Lunar Outfitters if you're interested in the development of the Apollo suits.

@damientonkin Год назад

If I remember correctly Hamilton Standard did the life support system, David Clark did the fittings (via their subsidiary Air Lock) and ILC Dover built the suit. So not exactly as described in the video but close enough. Hamilton actually won the initial award and used ILC as a subcontractor because their suit was better but there were a lot of politics and NASA eventually had to say "if you kids don't stop fighting and work together I'll turn this government contract around so fast!"

@damientonkin Год назад

To answer Adams question there are blue neck rings and red neck rings which are slightly different standards. Please don't take any of my comments as gospel. I have read up on this in the past but I might be misremembering any number of things.

@mudman6156 Год назад

Her complaints about the suits not being fitted properly for those of us that are small is a valid concern and one that NASA really needs to pay more attention to. Because they get it wrong each and every single time. This is true with other aspects in life as well. It’s mostly because these items are designed and made by people who tend to be considerably larger, and they have a lack of understanding what it’s like to be a smaller person. I have the same issue when trying to purchase scuba diving equipment, especially wet and drysuits. It can get to be extremely frustrating to say the least.

@marklamphier8836 Год назад

This is a question and not a gotcha, I promise: Lisa mentions that blue neck rings indicated training suits and red for flight. Launch day photos and video suggest that wasn't strictly true, and more immediately, Frank Borman's Apollo 8 flight suit in Chicago has a blue neck ring. Was there an intention to categorize the suits this way, but exceptions made for incidental reasons?

@darrenhemingway7121 Год назад

That whole "people don't complain they just make it work" is a huge problem in many fields because it means things don't get better. Sometimes it becomes toxic as well where folks will imagine the terribleness as a rite of passage that everyone has to pass through. You see both aspects of that all the time in the tech industry.
