This pressure suit is a heavily modified A7-L suit originally made for and worn by astronaut Walter Cunningham as pilot of the Apollo 7 mission in October 1968.

This suit was transferred to the suit development Lab at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston after the mission where it underwent testing and significant modification. However, very little documentation on these modifications remains.

NASA transferred this suit to the Museum in 2001.
