Space is filled with dangerous radiations. It has no air to breath and is extremely cold. The astronaut needs protection to survive and work in space.
So, the astronauts wear spacesuits whenever they are exposed to the harsh environment of outer space. The first spacesuit was the Soviet Union SK-1 suit which was worn by Yuri Gargarin in 1961.
A spacesuit is like a one-person spacecraft. Spacesuits supply the astronauts with oxygen to breathe and protect them from extreme temperatures. They guard the astronauts from being injured from small fragments of space dust.
The official name of the spacesuit is the "Extravehicular Mobility Unit or EMU".Previously, all spacesuits were one-time garments.But now the spacesuit engineers have developed reusable EMU. The cost of a spacesuit is about $11 million.
