Now, let’s learn some facts about the helmet. What is the use of helmet in the real astronaut costume? Why astronaut must wear a special helmet when he/she travels in space?
Astronauts do not normally wear helmet unless they are going outside the spacecraft. They need the helmet to breathe because there is no air outside. The helmet helps maintain the oxygen at the appropriate pressure around the head. The main material used to make this helmet is clear plastic bubble. The bubble is layered by Extravehicular Visor Assembly. A layer of gold is used to coat it so that it can filter out the harmful rays from the Sun. The visor can protect the astronaut from small objects potentially hitting them and from extreme temperatures. They usually attach a camera and lights to the helmet.
