Object Details
- Summary
- This developmental glove was made during the development of the Apollo spacesuit, helmet, boots and gloves ultimately worn on the Moon.
- This glove is similar to the final design used. It was made with a bladder dip molded from a hand cast of the individual's hand. The interior had an inner restraint core of nylon tricot which had been dipped in a neoprene compound. A convoluted section was incorporated into the wrist with anodized aluminum connectors for attachment to the spacesuit. A fingerless glove restraint was attached to the bladder at the wrist and enclosed the entire hand excluding the fingers and thumb. A red wrist disconnect attached the glove to the suit.
- Transferred from NASA - Manned Spacecraft Center in 1972.
