- Summary
- This is a Gemini G2-C pressure suit that the David Clark Company (DCC) made for NASA as part of the preparation for the Gemini program. The G2-C incorporated the lessons learned from testing DCC's first submission, the G1-C. Among its notable features is the aluminized outer fabric. DCC also made improvements in the gloves to allow the astronaut to use the gloves more comfortably while pressurized.
