space helmet
Vacuum suit accessory
A space helmet is the protective headgear worn by astronauts, enclosing the head in a pressurized, airtight shell with a transparent visor for visibility.
It connects to a spacesuit to provide oxygen and shield against the vacuum, temperature extremes, and radiation of space.
The term extends to similar gear in science fiction: The astronaut sealed her space helmet before the airlock opened.
