This kit for repairing small problems with an A6-L spacesuit was carred on the Apollo 14 mission in early 1971. It includes patches, adhesives, and tools for astronauts to use in fixing minor problems with their EMU suits. A small tear or hole in the suit could have severely endangered the user, so NASA provided these kits to the astronauts in case of accidental damage during missions.

NASA transferred this kit to the Museum in 1971.
