Where can I do research on astronauts suits?

Question

I heard that their suits can't have wool and linen combined. I got 2 answers from yahoo answers, but I want to do full research. If you could tell me about a research site where it is easily accessible, that would be great!

Answer 1

I have included several links for research and some excerpts from those links
Good Luck on your research!

One piece five-layer "torso-limb" suit augmented with a 3-layer "cover layer" made from teflon-coated fiberglass thread for IVA (non-spacewalking) suits or a 17-layer "cover layer" for EVA (spacewalking) suits. First suits to use "bubble helmets" and communication ("Snoopy") hats and connectors allowing the suits to be hooked up to both the spacecraft and the life-support backpack at the same time

EMU. Previously, all spacesuits were one-time garments. Spacesuits were custom-built to each astronaut’s body size. In the Apollo program, for example, each astronaut had three custom suits- one for flight, one for training, and one for flight backup. Shuttle suits, however, are tailored from a stock of standard-size parts to fit astronauts with a wide range of measurements.

Answer 2

I would check out NASA on the Internet. You can find everything you need to know on their web page. You can also type in astronauts suits and you will get a ton of hits. The last thing is email NASA and they can give you more details plus they might want you to come there and see first hand.

Answer 3

I did an 8th grade science project on this and NASA was extremely helpful. They will send you a packet with all sorts of information. On the downside it took nearly 4 weeks to get it! I would try NASA.gov, and websites like scientific american, live science, popular science & discovery. When it doubt, google it...there are more resources out there than you can imagine!

I think it's orthodox Jews that can't combine wool and linen. Check your Bible. And the official NASA site is nasa.gov.
