Glove, Left, IV, A7-L, Armstrong, Training

These intra-vehicular gloves were made for and worn by astronaut Neil Armstrong for use during training sessions prior to his Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.

The training Intra-vehicular gloves were identical in shape and dimension to those worn during launch. They are constructed of a rubber/neoprene-compound bladder and dip molded from a cast of his hand. The interior has an inner core of nylon tricot. There is a section of convoluted material for ease of movement incorporated into the wrist with anodized aluminum connectors for attachment to the spacesuit. A finger-less glove restraint, designed to help maintain the glove's shape, is attached to the bladder at the wrist and enclosed the entire hand excluding the fingers and thumb.

NASA transferred these gloves to the museum in 1978.
