The discussion centers on seeking resources for researching spacesuit design. Participants recommend starting with NASA and Air Force websites for preliminary information. They also mention the potential difficulty in accessing certain research due to its association with private companies or military sources. Suggestions include considering Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to obtain relevant documents. Overall, the focus is on finding reliable sources to aid in understanding the complexities of spacesuit design.

Recently I've started to investigate Spacesuit Design and different aspects of it. I was just wondering if anyone could provide me with some preliminary books or websites that I could use to get my research going, I would greatly appreciate it.

P.S If my post is in the wrong forum just tell me and I'll move it to the correct one, this is my first post on here

Thanks!

A lot of this research won't be the easiest to get ahold of, since it involves private companies or military/federal white papers.

You might want to do some research into submitting FOIA requests.

As far as preliminary information, NASA or Air Force websites might have articles and information you could use.

Thanks for the responses guys.
 

Thread 'How do physicists practically switch fields to non-adjacent subfields?'

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
