Objective:
To study the technology of intra-vehicular pressure protection for manned space craft pressure emergency and to develop the pressure garment.
Method:
According to the requirements of manned spacecraft emergency, the research scheme was proposed. Then the realization method of the following techniques were studied: structure of the pressure suit, pressure control, ergonomics, ventilation and oxygen supply, vision support and anti-fog. The performance of the space suit was verified by research and environment experiment.
Result:
An intra-vehicular pressure garment system was realized. It could fulfil the requirements of pressure protection and ergonomics and has passed overall performance test, interface test, and environment test.
Conclusion:
The intra-vehicular pressure garment developed by us can meet the requirements of space transportation system during pressure emergency.
