Author Topic:   Apollo suit stowage volume kr4mula Member Posts: 642 From: Cinci, OH Registered: Mar 2006 posted 07-12-2007 02:20 PM                Does anyone know what the stored volume of the Apollo suit was, specifically the PGA (pressure garment assembly)? I'm not looking for the internal volume of air, but the external dimensions of it when packed away in the cabin. They had a PGA stowage bag that may be the most likely source for data, if anyone has the volume/dimensions of it. I realize most of the peripherals were stored separately, but I assume the bags would represent the best info on the minimum volume the suits into which the suits could be compacted. I've found lots of info on the weights of the suits, but nothing so far on volume. Cheers, Kevin
