PRESSURIZED COMBINATION FOR ASTRONAUT EQUIPPED WITH VARIABLE PRESSURE GLOVES WITH IMPROVED DEXTERITY

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the manual dexterity of an astronaut and a pressurized suit comprising pressurized elastic gloves which communicate, under normal conditions, with the remaining part of the suit. / P P method is characterized in that: - the gloves 1 are separated from the remaining part of the suit 10 for a period of time during which the astronaut's manual dexterity must be increased, and - the PM pressure in each glove is reduced by relative to the pressure PC existing in the combination 10 during the aforementioned period. / P P The pressurized combination is characterized in that each glove 1 cooperates with a device 20 for reducing the pressure PM of the glove, relative to at the pressure PC of the combination 10, to increase the dexterity of the hands M of the astronaut, which device is interposed between each glove 1 and the remaining part of the combination 10. / P P Application to activities outside EVA spacecraft. / P
