I would like to Know about the Astronaut's Spacesuit Specifications in terms of material used viz wool, cotton, nylon etc, Helmet material used, Oxygen mask, Hand Sticks for traveling on the moon, Bags, other equipments required etc.

Also whether the Astronaut's Spacesuit and other equipments required will differ while landing on the moon and while they are in the Spacecraft ?.

What are the other equipments required within the spacecraft for the astronauts regarding their stay in terms of water, food i.e. refrigeration, thermos flask etc ?.

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant S Akerkar

Can there be any alternatives to Astronaut's Spacesuit material ?.

i.e. Silk, Wool, Nylon, Cotton, Leather, Terri cot, Polyester etc.

Also another point noted from my end was as Astronauts are on Moon, a natural satellite of planet earth, there will be no gravity, the attire/suit by them whichever may be, has to do something with atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity etc i.e. environmental conditions ?.

You can find a description of the materials used for the older and newer generations of spacesuits on wikipedia. Search for 'Apollo A7l' If that's not enough then I would suggest reading this:

Pretty much a potted history of spacesuit constructions and materials used over the years.
