In anticipation of a possible emergency landing or mission abort, each spacecraft was equipped with a series of emergency/survival rucksacks.

It is made of grey-painted steel with brass fittings, and was made for NASA by ACR Electronics.

This item was transferred to NASM in 1978. It was not flown.
