Astronaut Equipment

These objects are examples of personal equipment and tools issued to astronauts of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Some of the objects were used in training for missions, other during the actual missions. They include items of protective clothing (gloves, helmets, and boots), a spacesuit worn on the Moon, and example of the types of tools astronauts used on the lunar surface. The actual tools used on the Moon were left behind.
