Morphology
The meaning 'a protective helmet worn in outer space' is directly derivable from combining 'space' (the cosmos) with 'helmet' (a protective head covering). This simple modifier+noun composition follows regular English compounding and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Space helmet is a sealed helmet for space travel, like a clear bubble and hard shell that holds air and keeps out small rocks and the very cold. So the name shows it gives 'life support' and will 'protect' an astronaut in the dangerous empty 'space'.
