Spacesuits need to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures and pressures, provide them with critical life support, and be functional to wear and work in. Spacesuit gloves require particular attention as astronauts need to use their hands and bend their fingers to complete tasks, like collecting lunar samples.

Through this NASA Exploration Experience: Wearing Spacesuit Gloves, students can learn about considerations that go into spacesuits that allow humans to live and work in space. Follow this link to access the companion educator guide for this video: https://www.nasa.gov/stemcontent/nas...



We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.
