Spacesuit

A fully equipped spacesuit used during spacewalks is actually a miniature spaceship shaped like a human body that protects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside a vehicle while in space or on the Moon. Spacewalking astronauts face radiation, dust, debris, and extreme temperatures.

In the 1980s, space shuttle orbiter crews would use Manned Maneuvering Units to examine and conduct research off-structure.

By the 2020s, it was customary for most spacesuits to have jetpacks embedded into their backpack.
