The B.F. Goodrich Company designed this full pressure glove for high-altitude use in the early 1960s. However, it was used during early training and spacesuit development testing by an unknown astronaut, prior to the final decision being made by NASA as to which suit would be used during the Gemini missions.
The glove is constructed of two layers - an internal rubber/Neoprene pressure bladder, and a nylon upper cover-layer, with a neoprene-impregnated nylon palm which was designed to prevent objects from slipping out of the astronaut's hands during weightlessness.
NASA transferred the glove to the Museum in 1970.
This object is not on display at the National Air and Space Museum. It is either on loan or in storage.
