Have you ever wondered Who was here before you? How and where did they live? A spacesuit is more than an astronaut's outfit—it's a one-person spacecraft. Spacesuits must let astronauts bend and move and should store oxygen, water, and other useful tools to help them work in space. Invent the ultimate spacesuit and label each unique feature.

The Apollo PLSS (Portable Life Support System) was manufactured by the Hamilton Sundstrand company. PLSS used on Apollo 9-14 provided astronauts with four hours of life support. Later models, used on Apollo 15, 16, and 17, provided over six hours of life support. Both models provided 30 minutes of emergency life support if needed.
