Metal Space Suit Adds Protection
A patent was issued recently to Aerojet General Corporation, El Monte, Calif., for an all-metal space suit, the arms, legs and waist are fitted with metal bellows joints and the whole has a protective coating.
Allyn B. Hazard, the inventor, explains that the body section is big enough for the occupant to lean back and withdraw his hands to operate controls.
The suit is believed to be easier to move than some lighter weight units. It has been offered to federal agencies but has not yet been ordered. Aerojet General produces space propulsion engines, including those used in the Gemini and Apollo programs and the Nerva nuclear rocket engine.
