Ahhh! The sensation of
falling?
• Falling towards the Earth
• The effects of micro-gravity on the human body
• So how does an astronaut…?
• The joys and hazards of space walking

So why are the astronauts
falling towards the earth in
orbit?To understand how anastronaut is always fallingtowards the Earth while in orbit, we have to sling a little
water!

• Hazards in space…oops!

The Incredible Spacesuit
Huh, Houston we have problem! Ineed to go to the bathroom! (All about
the MAG).
How much does that suit weigh and how easy is it to work in? (Working in micro-gravity).
Hey! There’s a hole in my suit!
(So what if a micrometeoroid hits me during a spacewalk?)

How much does that spacesuit weigh
and how easy is it to work in?
The Incredible Spacesuit!
Early spacesuits were individually tailored for each astronaut. In contrast, the modern spacesuit has component pieces of varying sizes that can be put together to fit any given astronaut.

The Spacesuit Weight and Thickness
Weight - 127 kg on Earth,almost nothing in space!That’s 280 pounds! Thickness of most layers- 0.48 cm. ( That’s about3/16’s of an inch!) And themodern spacesuit has 13layers!

Hazards During and EVASo what’s faster than a
speeding bullet?
Micro-meteors!
Micro-meteors are very small pieces of fast moving metal, rock or combination of both. These micro- sized specs travel at 10,000 kilometer per hour!
