Striking original painting by NASA suit technician-turned-artist Ron Woods entitled "A7LB Inlet Gas Connectors," accomplished in watercolor on 16.5 x 11.75 art paper, featuring a close-up view of anodized blue Apollo A7LB EVA space suit connectors, surrounded by the names of the crews that used the suit: Apollo 15 (Scott, Worden, Irwin), Apollo 16 (Young, Mattingly, Duke), and Apollo 17 (Cernan, Evans, Schmitt). Signed and dated in the lower right in pencil, "Ron Woods ©2024." In very fine condition. A fabulous piece of original artwork, offering a unique perspective on a vital Apollo life-support device.
During the Apollo program, Ron Woods worked for ILC as a suit technician performing suit maintenance, interface testing with the Command Module, Lunar Module, and Lunar Rover vehicles, and insertion of astronauts in Command and Lunar modules for training. He suited crew members for Apollo 8, 11, and 15, all Skylab missions, and Apollo-Soyuz. He also supported the first two Space Shuttle missions as a suit technician at KSC and three additional missions at primary and backup landing sites.
