This is the right glove that Soviet cosmonaut Vladmir Aksenov wore during his launch and entry on board the Soyuz T-2 to the Salyut space station in July 1980. The glove, which was custome made for Aksenov, was part of his Sokol-KV spacesuit. Trained as an engineer, Aksenov travelled into space as a flight engineer. Soyuz T-2 was his second and last mission in space.

E. Laverne Johnson donated this glove as part of a collection of Soviet human spaceflight artifacts in honor of her late partner and collector, Mr. Robin John Burrows.
