==Description==
Paired with an [[EVA Suit]], it provides a contained, portable, pressurized, breathable environment need for protection against the vacuum of space.

The [[Space Helmet]] is the lighter of the two suit helmets available, with the other (much more expensive) one being the [[Hardsuit Helmet]].

==Usage==
Your helmet must be worn with a suitable suit to function properly. Your helmet functions can be accessed by pressing the Number ''''1'''' key. This will bring up a panel showing the helmet's settings, as follows:
* '''Open / Close Mask''' - Open and close the glass visor of the helmet, venting or enclosing your suit atmosphere ''(Keyboard shortcut - I)''
** '''Lock/Unlock Mask''' - Allow or prevent the opening of the visor (useful to avoid accidental opening)
** '''Light On / Off''' - Toggle the helmet's forward facing light on and off ''(Keyboard shortcut - L)''
** '''Flush''' - Expels helmet's (and suit's) current atmosphere and replenishes from the air tank.

The helmet's light draws power from your suit [[Battery_Cell|Battery]]. If damaged, your helmet can be patched by holding [[Duct Tape]] in your right hand and holding the right mouse button. The colour of an (unworn) helmet can be changed using [[Spray Paint]].

==Notes==
* '''Caution:''' An open helmet allows exposure to the conditions outside of the suit
* '''Caution:''' The helmet can withstand an external pressure difference of ~1Mpa, higher pressures will cause damage to the helmet.
* If you open the helmet in a contaminated, external environment (and lack [[Filter]]s to process the contaminants), '''Flush''' the helmet
* It is theoretically possible to mix [[EVA Suit]] elements and [[Hardsuit]] elements, although this is relatively uncommon
* Damaged helmets can be recycled (assuming you have a new one to use!)
