Protective Laminate Space Suit Helmet and Extravehicular Visors (MSC-21503)

Abstract:
The polycarbonate/polysulfone laminate combination provides superior chemical and propellant exposure protection. The chemical resistance of the laminate includes protection against chemicals, such as hydrazine (N2H4), nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), and monomethylhydraxine (N2H3CH3). Variations in the laminate configuration can be made to accommodate unique protective design requirements, such as impact strength, meteoroid and debris protection, and enhancement for specific environmental hazards. These alterations help prevent structural degradation of the helmet and visor assembly that reduces the transparency of the visor and impairs vision. The laminate combination maintains excellent optical properties, dimensional stability, and creep resistance under tension load.
