AI Thread Summary
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.

Welcome to the PF.

As Student100 says, start at the NASA website:

Thanks for the responses guys.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
