Apollo-Era Spacesuit Glove

Made by ILC Industries1969Delaware, United States

A Phase VI Apollo-era pressure glove by ILC Industries of Dover, Delaware — the same hand-sewn line that produced the gloves worn on the lunar surface. This example is ground training hardware, showing the beta-cloth shell, silicone fingertip caps, and wrist disconnect of the flight configuration. Each glove was molded to a specific astronaut's hand; this one is unattributed.
