Gemini G4C Spacesuit
This G4C Type was developed for the astronauts of Project Gemini. One purpose
of this project was to determine whether an astronaut could emerge from the
2-man spacecraft and perform useful work, protected only by his spacesuit.
This extra-vehicular activity advanced the role of the Gemini suit from a
backup to a prime system.
