Keeping Your Cool
Keeping Your Cool
Description:
This activity consists of two demonstrations about body cooling systems used in space suits. The first demonstration shows the principle behind the operation of the Space Shuttle EMU liquid cooling garment. Instead of an internal heat source (the suit wearer), the heat is provided by a strong electric light bulb or flood lamp. The second demonstration permits students to experience the water cooling technology used in the Space Shuttle EMU.
