Some questions:The US Space Suit Assembly consists of 2 major parts, Upper + Lower torso ...
Does anybody know:
1. Can the arms be removed ?
2. What the approx dry weight of the EMU ? The Russian Orlan space suit is a large box with door at the rear ...
1. Any ideas of the approx dry weight ? |

The approx. weight is 300 pounds, varies per mission, and the pieces are glove section, elbow, upper torso, lower torso, and lower leg. |

The ORLAN-M is about 112 kilograms, is the US EVA space suit heavier ?
Best regards,
