  • Title: [The present status and development of thermal control system of spacesuits for extravehicular activity].
    Author: Zhao CY, Sun JB, Yuan XG.
    Journal: Space Med Med Eng (Beijing); 1999 Apr; 12(2):149-53. PubMed ID: 12430554.
    Abstract:
    With the extension of extravehicular activity (EVA) duration, the need for more effective thermal control of EVA spacesuits is required. The specific schemes investigated in heat sink system for EVA are discussed, including radiator, ice storage, metal hydride heat pump, phase-change storage/radiator and sublimator. The importance and requirements of automatic thermal control for EVA are also discussed. Existed automatic thermal control for EVA are reviewed. Prospects of further developments of thermal control of spacesuits for EVA are proposed.
