Astronauts wear orange spacesuits called "launch and entry suits" during launch and landing of the space shuttle.Like the Gemini suits, these suits connected to Skylab with a hose. Spacesuits like the Apollo suits were used on the Skylab space station missions.The astronauts could go far away from the lunar lander because they weren't connected to it by a hose.
