    The MAG was developed because astronauts cannot remove their space suits during long operations, such as spacewalks that usually last for several hours. [6] [7] Generally, three MAGs were given during space shuttle missions, one for launch, reentry, and an extra for spacewalking or for a second reentry attempt.
