According to the NASA website, ‘donning’ a spacesuit isn’t as easy as it seems. We have another medium size spacesuit segment on the station; Anne trained in M and L and thought she could use a large but decided after Friday's spacewalk a medium fits better. There are currently six spacesuits on board, including two in medium size, according to Stephanie Schierholz, spokesperson for NASA spaceflight. On Earth a spacesuit can weigh up 280 pounds on the ground, without the astronaut in it. Schierholz refutes any immediate need for a new space suit.
