- Summary
- This glove was constructed for and worn by Neil Armstrong during his Gemini 8 flight in March, 1966.
- The gloves had the NASA designation GG-4-C, and were of sturdier construction than earlier models. The outer glove was made of white High Temperature Nomex and provided protection for the inner glove, which was a molded, air-tight bladder. The two sections were attached to an anodized aluminum ring that attached to the spacesuit wrist. Attached to each glove were 1.15-volt fingertip lights, which were powered independently for up to 30 hours by a 1.5-volt battery pack. The lights were operated by moving a toggle switch on each hand.
