Spacesuits have changed in design and mission over the decades. The first astronauts flew into space wearing flight suits that had been adapted to their specific spacecraft. As subsequent astronauts started to travel outside the spacecraft, spacesuits have become more tailored and versatile. Learn about the history of spacesuits from space history curator Cathleen Lewis and NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman. This program is made possible through the generous support of Boeing.
