Built by Engineers.
Not Marketers.

The Spacesuits is a structured engineering archive covering US, Soviet, Russian and Chinese pressure garment programs. Built from primary sources — not aggregated listicles, not AI-generated content, not Wikipedia summaries in dark mode.

Methodology

Every variant is documented against a normalized schema: pressure, mass, life support architecture, mission role, entry/donning method, key subsystem signatures, failure modes, and forward relevance. Data is sourced from primary engineering documents — NASA technical reports, OIG audit findings, and the primary published references for Soviet programs.
