spacesuit
Vacuum survival garment
A spacesuit is a sealed, pressurized garment that allows humans to survive in the vacuum of space or other hostile environments.
It supplies oxygen, regulates temperature, and protects against radiation and micrometeoroids.
Astronauts wear spacesuits during spacewalks and lunar exploration: The astronaut's spacesuit was tethered to the station.
