This glove is part of the pair worn by John Young, Commander of the Gemini X flight in July 1966. The mission was to dock with the drifting Agena from the Gemini VIII flight, thus achieving the first double rendezvous in space.

G4-C gloves were constructed with high temperature (HT) nylon, a strap and buckle adjustment around the wrist and palm, and the red and blue anodized aluminum wrist disconnects. There is a steel palm bar in between the layers of the gloves, and they were equipped with finger lights or battery pack.

NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center transferred the gloves and suit to NASM in 1968.
