This intra-vehicular (IV) glove was made for astronaut Alan Bean, and used for training purposes.

Training gloves were identical to the gloves used during a mission. The IV gloves were 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 blue wrist disconnect attached the glove to the suit.

Transferred from NASA in 1982.
