This spacesuit was made for and worn by Fred Haise during the Apollo 13 mission in April 1970. Apollo 13 was scheduled to be a lunar landing mission, but sustained major damage during the flight to the Moon, and as a result there was no lunar landing.

The spacesuit has the designation A7-L and is in the EV (Extra-vehicular) configuration. It was constructed of approximately 26 layers of materials including a rubber-neoprene pressure bladder, and a thermal/protective layer of aluminized mylar, dacron and fire-resistant beta-cloth.

Transferred from NASA in 1973.
