This spacesuit was constructed for and worn by astronaut Eugene Cernan, Lunar Module pilot of the Apollo 10 mission in May 1969. The mission was designed to test lunar orbit, rendezvous, and docking procedures during which astronauts Cernan and Stafford tested and flew the lunar module close to the lunar surface.

This spacesuit has the designation A7-L and was constructed in the EV (extra-vehicular) configuration. It permitted maximum mobility and was designed to be worn with relative comfort for up to 115 hours in conjunction with the liquid cooling garment. It was also capable of being worn for 14 days in an unpressurized mode.

The spacesuit was made by the International Latex Corporation, and transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA - Manned Spacecraft Center in 1973.
