- Summary
- This glove is one of a pair worn by an unknown astronaut in training during the Gemini program of the early 1960s.
- G-4-C gloves were constructed of high temperature (HT) nylon, with a strap and buckle adjustment around the wrist and palm, and red (right) and blue (left) anodized aluminum wrist disconnects. There is a steel palm bar in between the layers of the gloves for safety, and finger lights with battery pack for night visibility. The fingers of the gloves had limited easement. While this was considered an improvement on preceding pressure gloves, the pressurized volume had to be compressed to allow bending fingers to grasp objects.
- NASA transferred this glove to the museum after the Gemini program.
