| has gloss | eng: A Maximum Absorbency Garment (MAG) is a piece of clothing astronauts wear during liftoff, landing, and extra-vehicular activities to absorb urine and feces. Usually, astronauts urinate into the MAG, and wait to defecate when they return to the spacecraft. The adult-sized diaper with extra absorption material is used because astronauts cannot remove their space suits during long operations. Three MAGs are given during space shuttle missions, one each for during launch, reentry, and a spare in case reentry needs to be tried again. It is worn underneath the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG). |
