Museum-quality Apollo A7LB pressure suit replica produced by Moonrocks of New York in 2011, standing approximately 72˝ in height, designed to match the spacesuit worn by Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt during the moon-landing Apollo 17 mission. This high-fidelity reproduction is complete with its neck and wrist couplings, PLSS connectors, and oxygen/water suit connection ports; LEVA helmet with moveable gold faceplate, side sunshades, and sun visor; EVA gloves and boots; IVA boots; Remote Control Unit (RCU); Oxygen Purge Unit (OPU); Portable Life Support System (PLSS); and Hasselblad lunar camera with suit attachment and camera handle. Includes a presentation stand. In fine condition.
The Apollo A7LB space suit was a pronounced upgrade of the A7L suit that was specifically designed for extended lunar exploration. The suit was introduced for the Apollo 15 mission and later worn by the moonwalking astronauts of Apollo 16 and Apollo 17, missions that demanded longer stays and more complex surface operations. Among its advancements were greater mobility and flexibility, an integrated Hard Upper Torso (HUT), a reinforced boot design, and an upgraded OPS and PLSS that carried more oxygen and cooling water, all critical elements for longer EVA durations. A magnificent high-detail replica of the most advanced spacesuit of the Apollo era.
