an alternative space suit insulation concept using a monolayer woven pile material is discussed. the material reduces cost and improves the durability of the overgarment, while providing protection similar to that provided by multilayer insulation (mli). twelve samples of different configurations were fabricated and tested for compressibility and thermal conductivity as a function of compression loading. two samples which showed good results in the initial tests were further tested for thermal conductivity with respect to ambient pressure and temperature. results of these tests were similar to results of the mli tests, indicating the potential of the monolayer fabric to replace the present mli. a seaming study illustrated that the fabric can be sewn in a structurally sound seam with minimal heat loss. it is recommended that a prototype thermal meteroid garment be fabricated
