Design and Fabrication of a Passively Pressurized Suit.
Abstract
The purpose of the experimental effort was to evolve new designs and manufacturing technology applicable to high altitude pressure suits. Emphasis was placed on development of bladders using an elastomeric compound which would have excellent air retention for extended periods of time, would have the capability to expand sufficiently to serve as a redundant segment for failed adjacent bladders and would be economical to fabricate. Additional emphasis was placed on the development of a restraint coverall which would satisfy the requirements for passive ventilation, unpressurized maximum mobility, acceptable pressurized mobility, long term comfort unpressurized, adequate skin pressure during pressurization and lowest possible weight.
