Abstract

The mobility joint is of critical importance for the spacesuit to move from place to place. Especially, the joint configuration has a significant impact on spacesuit flexibility. This paper classifies the most commonly used soft joints of spacesuits into three types, namely for convolute joints, wrinkling joints and hybrid joints, based on the structure features. Sequentially, the structure characteristics and abilities to maintain constant volume are analyzed for all types of joints.
