Space suit - Uchuufuku

Japanese: 宇宙服 - うちゅうふく
Space suit - Uchuufuku
A suit for human activities in a space environment requires functions such as maintaining air pressure and temperature, supplying oxygen and water vapor, and protecting against radiation and space dust. In early manned satellites, in addition to space suits for extravehicular activity, pressure suits were used inside the satellite to prevent bodily fluids from boiling, but since the environment inside the Soyuz and Skylab spacecraft is the same as on Earth, crew members do not need to wear special clothing, and space suits are installed exclusively for extravehicular activity. Space suits for extravehicular activity are made of around 25 layers of synthetic fibers such as nylon and Teflon, or nylon coated with neoprene to make it airtight, to prevent damage from cosmic rays and micrometeoroid impacts.

Japanese:
宇宙環境で人間が活動するための服で,気圧,温度の維持,酸素や水蒸気の補給,放射線・宇宙塵(じん)からの保護機能を必要とする。初期の有人衛星では,船外活動用の宇宙服のほか,衛星内でも体液沸騰防止を目的とした圧力服が用いられたが,ソユーズ,スカイラブなどでは機内は地上と同じ環境になっているため,乗員は特別の服を着用する必要はなく,宇宙服は船外活動専用に搭載される。船外活動用宇宙服は,ナイロンやテフロンなどの合成繊維やネオプレンを塗布して気密化したナイロンなどを25層前後重ねて,宇宙線および微小流星塵の衝突による破壊を防ぐ。
