Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment
text:
An (Integrated) Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment 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.
