I have the ebook version, I can find the page refs, though they don't line up exactly... It's Act 2 of Chapter 2, page 43, another at the beginning of Chapter 3, Act 1, page 62 are the major mentions of the Skinsuit in the novel. And, from the anime, a picture or two: <a href="http://50.7.37.162/album_images/rocket-girls-op-single-rise/Booklet%2004.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://50.7.37.162/album_images/rocket-girls-op-single-rise/Booklet%2004.jpg</a> <a href="http://50.7.37.162/album_images/rocket-girls-op-single-rise/Booklet%2003.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://50.7.37.162/album_images/rocket-girls-op-single-rise/Booklet%2003.jpg</a> And a great comparison between the Rocket Girls' suits and NASA's: <a href="http://v.ninemanga.com/anime/videos/thumb/68/2/rocketgirlsepisode1249.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://v.ninemanga.com/anime/videos/thumb/68/2/rocketgirlsepisode1249.jpg</a>

Thanks! I've got that book lying around here somewhere, I'll try and look up that passage. Like many Japanese manga and anime, their attention to scientific accuracy is commendable.

I was looking at the skinsuit section of the Spacesuits page and I was reminded of the scenes where the plucky young astronaut, Yukari Morita, is fitted for her skinsuit in the novel _Rocket Girls_ by Housuke Nojiri. I recommend checking it out. It's a light novel from Japan, but it has some hard science backing it up.
