How Do Spacesuits Work?

Earlier today, I was lying down on my bed trying to make a list in my head of topics I have not yet covered about Earth and Space. Thinking about space, I was asking myself "How do spacesuits work?". That question kept ringing in my mind fo about a minute, before I fell asleep. Now that I'm wide awake (hopefully, completely), I decided that I wanted to find the answer to that very question. It wasn't a very easy task. It took me about half an hour to find the answer.

Spacesuits are designed to:

• Have a pressurized atmosphere
• Give you oxygen
• Remove Carbon Dioxide
• Allow you to communicate with other people (including people on Earth/astronauts)
• Allows flexible body movement
• Allows clear vision of what's going on.

My next research: How Do Astronauts Eat In Space?

Hello!

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog.

I've just started this blog out, so don't expect it to be "creme de la creme" at first. As stated in the title of my blog, I am a young astronaut in the making. I haven't been for any training stuff yet, nor have I been into space. But I am quite a dab hand at Astronomy. Before I go into too much detail, let me tell you how I developed an interest in space studies and astronauts.

It was when Malaysia's first angkasawan, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie was launched off into space on October 10th 2007. He had inspired hundreds of young Malaysians to believe in themselves, and dream big. Since then, I started studying about space. It was quite a surprising moment, for I never used to like things that were really difficult to do. But the success of the angkasawan has shaped my feelings about complicated things.

Learning about space is a very interesting thing to do. I hope that my dream will come true.

Till then,
Faizah
