During an Apollo mission, a number of straps were used for restraint purposes during zero g. In addition to a number of special use snaps (e.g., couch, probe, drogue, glare shield, control cable, and cable routing straps), utility straps had numerous uses. Made of beta cloth, the utility straps used snaps as a restraining method. The snaps have a male (stud) and female (socket) component.

This is one of the six utility straps flown on the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing mission in July 1969. It was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1971.
