BlueBookGuy Posted December 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2014 Hello all, was sure having seen virtually the whole range of NASA/USAF high-altitude helmets, including the very latest - even I'm reading PDF the fantastic book "Dressing for Altitude" (2012) waiting for it to become available other ways, than only straight from NASA. But this one, taken from Youtube I never noticed before. It looks to be a new pattern rather than some sort of upgrading/modifying the older S-1030 /S-1032 family of helmets by D. Clark. Also, a bit more compact than those - at least this my impression. Does anyone of you know what could be? Greetings from Italy - Franco. (pics' quality maybe not too good..)

BlueBookGuy Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 3, 2014 In this sense they all look like NASA helmets, starting from "MK"-series of USN full-pressure helmets of mid-'50s until the S-1035 worn by Space Shuttle crews. Actually the development began 60 years ago to give the USAF/Navy a reliable helmet, then things went parallel in the same time for NASA's benefit. This helmet carries close resemblance to the S-1030/S-1031, but decidedly different in some details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb44 Posted January 15, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 15, 2015 I don't have my NASA references with me right now, but maybe asking here would get you what you needed to know: http://www.collectspace.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Pressure Posted March 11, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 11, 2021 My answer may already be obsolete and way outdated but the pictures show David Clark S1034 PPA suit and helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
