Abstract
March 18, 2015, was the 50th anniversary of the world’s first spacewalk. The man who performed this spacewalk was the Soviet cosmonaut A.A. Leonov, a participant in the Voskhod 2 space mission. In June of the same year, the American astronaut E. White, the pilot of the Gemini 4 vehicle, accomplished a spacewalk. In subsequent years, as personal space equipment systems (space suits) for extravehicular activity and their reliability improved, extravehicular activity (EVA) gradually turned from short-term episodes into planned work hours long. This article is dedicated to issues of the medical support of extravehicular activity.
