Description

Rare 1978 developmental Shuttle EVA glove

Extremely rare Space Shuttle extravehicular activity development glove made by International Latex Corporation, including the hardware and TMG cover layer. This is a rare example of an early development glove made out of Kevlar, thought at the time to be the best materials to use for the next generation space suit. Separate tags inside note the outer layer as “Item: Glove Assembly (Right), Part No. 0106-10006-02” and the inner part as “Item: Restr. Assy, Glove, Part No. 0106-80227-02.” In very good to fine condition. This glove has been authenticated by Bill Ayrey, company historian at ILC Dover, the manufacturer of the Apollo, Shuttle, and Space Station suits. An exceptional piece of early Shuttle memorabilia.
