MOL Space Suit

A space suit from the Air Force's Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program.

US Spacesuits devotes most of a chapter to the MOL suit. Based on information in the book, I'd guess that this is an "MH-7" suit ("M" designating the MOL program, "H" designating Hamilton Standard as the contractor, and "7" designating the seventh design) without its restraint system (suit cover).

Science Museum Oklahoma is basically a children's "interactive" museum. We visited in the summer, and there were many day care groups in attendance. The MOL suit is in an upstairs room with many "interactive exhibits" (difficult to distinguish from "games encouraging children to jump and shout" :-) so I didn't take too many detailed pictures, both to preserve my own hearing and to lessen the chance of someone tripping over my tripod.
