Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment
Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment :
An (Integrated) Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG or ITMG) is the outer layer of a space suit. The TMG has three functions: to insulate the suit occupant and prevent heat loss, to shield the occupant from harmful solar radiation, and to protect the astronaut from micrometeoroids and other orbital debris, which could puncture the suit and depressurize it. The specific design of TMGs varies between different space agencies and different suits, though they all serve the same purpose
