LAYER
2 This layer of the space suit is designed to help keep the astronaut cool. Water is circulated through a network of slender vinyl tubes, much as blood is pumped through your body's veins and capillaries. Similar kinds of vinyl tubing are used in laboratories to transfer fluids from one container to another. Taken from a 1970s DuPont poster. |
