Hello from the moon!

Have you ever dreamed of being an astronaut, blasting off into space? Find out about spacesuits by joining us for a song and dance all about getting dressed for a spacewalk on the moon. Come and get your moon moves on!

Astronauts need to wear specially designed items while going on a spacewalk. Space suits are made up of several different but very important parts:

Moon boots are actually like pants with the shoes stuck on.
There is an inner suit with special vents that draw away the astronauts sweat.
There is an outer shell made of lots of hard parts that fit together a bit like locking jigsaw pieces.
The helmet protects the astronaut from extreme temperatures – space can be really hot, or really cold!
Under your helmet is a communication device nicknamed the snoopy cap! It allows astronauts to communicate with eachother while they’re in space
The Power Pack is a fancy backpack holding important stuff like oxygen tanks and a battery pack

Now we are dressed and ready for our spacewalk… Get your moon moves on!
