Description: Authentic -ORION CREW SURVIVAL SYSTEM- OCSS- ARTEMIS -SLS- NASA SAFETY - 4" - A-B Emblem SPACE PATCHCrew SurvivalThe Orion suit, sometimes called a flight suit or a launch and entry suit, has been enhanced from head to toe with improvements to the suit worn on shuttle missions. Starting at the top, a number of features on the helmet allow for improved comfort and function. The helmet is lighter, stronger, comes in more than one size, helps reduce noise, and is easier to connect to the communications system needed to talk to other crew members and mission control.The outer cover layer, which is orange to make crew members easily visible in the ocean should they ever need to exit Orion without the assistance of recovery personnel, includes shoulder enhancements for better reach and is fire resistant. The suit is a pressure garment that includes a restraint layer to control the shape and ease astronauts’ movements. A reengineered zipper also allows astronauts to quickly put the suit on and has increased strength. New adaptable interfaces supply air and remove exhaled carbon dioxide. The suit has improved thermal management that will help keep astronauts cool and dry. A liquid cooling garment worn underneath the suit, a bit like thermal underwear with embedded cooling tubes, was revamped to be more breathable and easier to build.While shuttle-era spacesuits came in off-the-shelf sizes like small, medium, and large, the Orion suits will be custom fit for each crew member and accommodate astronauts of all sizes. The patterns of the suit now minimize the spots of discomfort common during the shuttle era when worn pressurized for long periods of time. The gloves, the part of a spacesuit that receives the most wear and tear, are more durable and touch-screen compatible, and improvements to the boots provide protection in the case of fire, fit better, and help an astronaut move more nimbly.Even though it’s primarily designed for launch and reentry, the Orion suit can keep astronauts alive if Orion were to lose cabin pressure during the journey out to the Moon, while adjusting orbits in Gateway, or on the way back home. Astronauts could survive inside the suit for up to six days as they make their way back to Earth. The suits are also equipped with a suite of survival gear in the event they have to exit Orion after splashdown before recovery personnel arrives. Each suit will carry its own life preserver that contains a personal locator beacon, a rescue knife, and a signaling kit with a mirror, strobe light, flashlight, whistle, and light sticks.- Orion Crew Survival System (OCSS) Suit patch worn on the orange spacesuit - A-B Emblem has been the sole supplier of mission patches to the astronaut’s office at NASA since the 70s, from the original NASA “meatball” patch to Artemis and every mission patch in between.Our NC-made patches have been to the moon, orbited the Earth, and are soon headed to Mars!A-B Emblem Official NASA Patch THIS - ORIGINAL - 100% EMBROIDERED - 4" - A-B Emblem CREW SURVIVAL PATCH IS IN - MINT - CONDITION W/ IRON-ON BACKING **** PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR - EBAY STORE - AND OTHER EBAY AUCTIONSA LOTMORE GREAT PATCHES, CHALLENGE COINS, FLOWN MEDALLIONS, SPACE STICKERS, AND INCREDIBLE SIGNED NASA PHOTOSNASA LITHOS AND SPACE COLLECTIBLES ARE LISTED****PLEASE KEEP WATCHING, WE ARE ADDING NEW ITEMS DAILY****
