This is the left of a pair of gloves worn by astronaut Thomas P. Stafford, Command Pilot of the Gemini IX-A mission that occurred during June 1966.

G-4-C gloves were constructed of high temperature (HT) nylon, with a strap and buckle adjustment around the wrist and palm, and red (right) and blue (left) anodized aluminum wrist disconnects. There is a steel palm bar between the layers of the gloves for safety, and finger lights with battery packs for night visibility.

NASA transferred this pair of gloves to the museum after the conclusion of the Gemini program.
