space helmets
Orbital protective headwear
Space helmets is the plural of space helmet—the protective headgear worn by astronauts and cosmonauts in the vacuum of space or during launch and reentry.
The helmet maintains breathable pressure and shields against radiation, temperature extremes, and micrometeorites.
In science fiction, space helmets often appear as glass bubbles: The alien removed its space helmet to reveal a surprisingly human face.
