This spacesuit was worn by astronaut Fred Haise during training sessions prior to the Apollo 13 mission in April 1970.
Training suits were identical to those worn during flight and were designed to provide the astronaut with realistic conditions while training for the mission. The suit provided a life sustaining environment for the astronaut during periods of extra vehicular activity or during unpressurized spacecraft operation, while permitting maximum mobility. It was designed to be worn with relative comfort for up to 115 hours in conjunction with the liquid cooling garment, and was also capable of being worn for 14 days in an unpressurized mode.
The spacesuit was made by the International Latex Corporation with the designation A-7L and was constructed in the Extra-Vehicular or EV configuration.
Transferred from NASA in 1977.
