Summary
This IV (intra-vehicular) pressure glove is part of the spacesuit equipment made for and worn by Lunar Module Pilot Eugene Cernan during the Apollo 10 mission.
Pressure gloves were individually made for each astronaut and consisted of a pressure bladder, dip molded from a cast of the astronaut's hand for maximum comfort. The interior was an inner restraint core of nylon tricot, dipped in a neoprene compound, with a convoluted section incorporated into the wrist for ease of movement. Anodized aluminium connectors attached the glove to the spacesuit.
The glove was made by the International Latex Corporation, and transferred to NASM from NASA in 1973.
