This beta cloth pouch contains a spacesuit repair kit, and includes the necessary supplies to perform minor repairs to the pressure bladder in the event of a puncture. The contents include repair patches, o-rings, cleaning pads, towels, lubricant, and instructions.

The kit was part of the equipment included in the Skylab orbital workshop for all three crews sent to work there during the 1970s. It was transferred from NASA to the Museum in 1977.
