Effect of away team size?

Easy enough to test (pause), oh yeah, officers make a big difference in HP (and with their skills survival and lethality.) I'm a strong advocate of taking a Field Medic Captain on the away time.

I don't think it is, actually... there's not an easy way to change my away team size, that I konw of. Unless I find a life support module somewhere, I guess.

OK, turns out I was totally wrong, and JimSB is correct... the space suit HP is simply multiplied by away team size to give the total away team HP. Officers seem to add to the away team size, so if you have 10-person away team plus one officer, then the total away team HP is space suit HP times 11. And of course, as zircher mentioned, certain officer skills can increase away team HP also.
