Object Details
- Summary
- This Intra-vehicular glove is part of the pair worn by Gordon Cooper for training purposes during the Apollo era.
- The Intra-vehicular gloves were identical to those used during mission launch. They were made with a bladder, which was 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 aluminium 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.
- Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA in 1978.
