Space Suit vs. Spacesuit

OED lists space suit and space-suit, but not the compound word. Google returns 159,000 results for "Space Suit" and 128,000 results for Spacesuit. In my personal experience, I've seen the word in both forms from NASA sources, and the NASA Technical Style Guide does not specify.

I think there is a good case for either name, but personally think that space suit as two words is more common and proper, and should therefore be the main page, with spacesuit as a redirect. Skylark 22:01, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It should possibly be at "Space suit", but certainly not at "Space Suit". Fredrik | talk 22:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Very true. Opps :-/ Skylark 23:29, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Fictional space suits

What about the HEV suit in half life? Isn't it worth a mention in the fiction section? It is a space suit, since Gordon wears it in Zen.

Good point but HEV was a hazardous environment suit, and Xen wasn't set in outerspace (there wasn't even any mention of Gordon donning a helmet).

Re-write of introduction needed

Current:

A space suit is a complex system of garments, equipment and environmental systems designed to keep a person alive and comfortable in the harsh environment of outer space. This applies to extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside spacecraft orbiting Earth and has applied to walking, and riding the Lunar Rover, on the Moon.

Some of these requirements also apply to pressure suits worn for other specialized tasks...

Remark:

Please changed the bolded text to noun phrases that refer to obvious antecedents. "This applies"... What applies? "These requirements".... Which requirements?

Cooling or Heating?

I just corrected an article on Mylar that had stated space suits needing "to keep astronauts warm" so I replaced it with "help regulate temperature." There was some cold war era misinformation published about how the suits were to keep them warm, not keep them cool. When you figure they are generating about 170 to 250 watts in sealed environment that is in a nearly perfect vacuum while maybe being exposed to about 1kW/m^2 of solar radiation, it is clear that the suit must remove a fair amount of heat. I'm not even sure if it belongs here but that old misinformation seems to persist so I think some text to make it clear should go in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.182.149 (talk • contribs)

Semi-protected edit request on 24 February 2019

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Space suit. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

just want to add a picture!
