This spacesuit glove was worn by astronaut Walter "Wally" Schirra when he commanded the Apollo 7 mission in October, 1968. This mission was the first to be launched since the fire in January of the previous year and was an earth orbital mission, designed to test the Apollo systems, including the newly designed spacesuit.
This spacesuit has the designation A7-L and was constructed in the EV (extra-vehicular) configuration. The Apollo spacesuit was designed to provide a life sustaining environment for the astronaut during periods of extra vehicular activity or during unpressurized spacecraft operation. It provided the wearer with maximum mobility and was designed to be worn with relative comfort for up to 115 hours in conjunction with the liquid cooling garment. It was also capable of being worn for 14 days in an unpressurized mode.
NASA transferred this glove to the Museum in 1969.
