Space suit and mission insignia patch worn by Dave Scott during the Apollo 15 lunar landing in July 1971. On display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
Fashion designer Emilio Pucci was asked to design the patch. Scott was the one who approached him. Pucci came up with the idea of three highly stylized "birds" in blue and green on a square patch. The crew changed the shape to round and the colors to red, white, and blue. (White represented Worden, blue represented Scott, and red represented Irwin.) The patch shows the three arcs over a photograph of Hadley Rille -- the section of the moon where Apollo 15 was to land. The shadows of the craters just to the center-right of the stylized birds form the Roman numeral XV. (NASA insisted that the mission number be displayed.)
The dust you see on the suit is moondust.
Apollo 15 was fourth manned mission to the Moon. It was designed to last a lot longer than previous stays on the Moon, so that additional scientific experiments could be conducted. The mission began on July 26, 1971, and concluded on August 7.
Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin landed the Lunar Module "Falcon" on the Moon, and spent three days there. This included 18.5 hours outside the LM. This was the first mission to not land on a "mare" (the so-called "lunar seas", or flat and smooth plains of basaltic lava). Instead, Apollo 15 landed near Hadley rille near Palus Putredinus (the Marsh of Decay). The crew explored the area using the Lunar Rover. Pilot Alfred Worden flew the Command Module "Endeavor" in orbit above the Moon, conducting numerous science experiments and even deploying a satellite in lunar orbit.
The spacesuit worn on Apollo 15 was a new design. Previous Apollo flights featured a suit with the life support, cooling, and communications connections in front in two parallel rows of three. The Apollo 15 "A7L-B" suit, however, placed these in triangular pairs. The zipper was also redesigned. The old zipper went up-and-down. But the new zipper went from the right shoulder to the left hip, and included a waist joint. This meant the astronauts could actually bend over for the first time, and sit on the Lunar Rover. Upgraded backpacks also permitted more time spent outside the LM.
Worden also wore a new spacesuit. While orbiting the Moon, he wore a three-connector suit. But Worden was scheduled to make a spacewalk during the flight home from the Moon. This suit had five connections (not six, since there was no need for liquid cooling). During his spacewalk, he retrieved film cartridges from an experiment on the exterior of the spacecraft.

Kansas Cosmosphere
The SK-1 was the latest in a long line of suits built by Zvezda ("star"), the Soviet Union's leading maker of aircraft pressure suits and ejection seats. The firm built its first pressure suit in 1952-53. Zvezda products orbited Earth before Gagarin's flight. The dogs Belka and Strelka rode in a Zvezda-built container during the second unmanned Vostok test flight in August 1960, and SK-1 suits containing dummies flew two unmanned Vostok flights in March 1961.
Over the course of six Vostok flights that carried cosmonauts, Zvezda continuously improved the SK-1. In 1963, the firm modified an SK-1 for Vostok 6 cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Her suit, designated SK-2, featured narrow shoulders, glove improvements and other changes.
The First Space Suit
Vostok 1 lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome on April 12, 1961, with Yuri Gagarin on board. The pioneering cosmonaut wore a protective SK-1 space suit similar to the one displayed here. This suit, used for training Vostok cosmonauts, was very likely worn by Gagarin as he trained for his historic voyage into space.
The 51-pound SK-1 suit was built up of layers with different purposes. The orange outer layer made it easy for recovery helicopters to spot the cosmonaut on the ground. Other layers prevented chafing and provided ducts for air circulation. Four layers would keep the cosmonaut warm and dry if he splashed down in icy water. A flotation collar would then inflate to keep him afloat until help arrived. The SK-1 helmet visor shut automatically for launch, reentry, and in case the Vostok capsule lost pressure. Pockets held a pistol, a knife, a radio, and shark repellant.
A Last-Minute Addition
As Gagarin suited up for his historic Vostok 1 flight, someone recalled that U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers had, a year earlier, parachuted into the Soviet territory wearing a pressure suit. If all went as planned, Gagarin would land unannounced in Russia's Saratov farming region. A technician quickly painted "CCCP" on Gagarin's helmet to prevent him from being mistaken for an invading American. The letters, which in Russian stand for "USSR," were later added to other SK-1 suits.

NASA astronaut Eric Boe wears Boeing's new spacesuit designed to be worn by astronauts flying on the CST-100 Starliner. The suit is lighter and more flexible than previous spacesuits but retains the ability to pressurize in an emergency. Astronauts will wear the suit throughout the launch and ascent into orbit as well as on the way back to Earth. Starliners will launch atop Atlas V rockets from United Launch Alliance on missions including flights to the International Space Station for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. NASA's commercial crew astronauts Boe and Suni Williams tried on the suits at Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Boe, Williams, Bob Behnken, and Doug Hurley were selected by NASA in July 2015 to train for commercial crew test flights aboard the Starliner and SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. The flight assignments have not been set, so all four of the astronauts are rehearsing heavily for flights aboard both vehicles. Photo credit: Boeing

This small version of a Mercury spacesuit was one of perhaps a dozen made by the B .F. Goodrich Corporation in the early 1960s. They were given to VIPs for goodwill and publicity purposes. It looks almost identical to the suits worn by Mercury astronauts, but it has no interior pressure bladder, and the helmet and boots are much simplified versions of the full-size equipment.
Found in collection. Donor unknown at this time. Found on NASM premises.
WELL RED SCI-FI FAN!!
In spite of a stunningly busy year I finally realised a long held, completely eclectic ambition to be in the 2010 Aussiecon IV World Science Fiction Convention (Melbourne, Australia) Masquerade wearing a 2001: A Space Odyssey/2010:The Year We Made Contact type E.V.A spacesuit....
It very nearly didn't happen.
As much as I've enjoyed the many other challenging projects that I've taken on this year, they did ten percent my spare time to death. My 'Plan A' costume had to go on the back burner when I started to run out of effective costuming time. (My partner whacked me on the back of the head with a Paella pan to make me see sense - MUCH heavier than a frying pan. "Look Raoul, it's full of stars!") I reverted to upgrading my prototype spacesuit with extra features, including a wearable back pack Portable Life Support System/Thruster Pack in place of the hand carried air conditioner I had for the 3RRR FM Radiothon.
This was still a HUGE amount of work to get done in the couple of days I found myself left with in the run up to the Worldcon, but it was doable, as Plan A obviously wasn't..obvious to anyone but me.
For the parade performance, I wanted to underline the Australian location, which in part meant Ockering up the suit with flyswats, little koala bears, tinny holders, a coathanger wire aerial bent into the shape of a boomerang, Southern Cross flags and so on. A lot of that wouldn't show up on the VAST stage that the performance was set up on but I wanted it there anyway, if nothing else but for the Front Row audience and for the 'impression of detail' it would give for people sitting further out.
'Spot', the monolith (Named in the usual contrary Aussie fashion after the markings that it should rightly have as a great big domino)
was made out of three slabs of 50 mm thick styrofoam, pegged together with wooden dowelling and painted with black gesso. It came apart for transport and was locked together once I reached the venue with a strip of black duct tape around the entire edge.
I had two handles on the monolith's back so I could carry it in front of me onto the stage and still be hidden behind it until the time came to drop it flat before me so I could space-surf on it....and the backside also had big panels of holographic foil on it to hopefully reflect a bit of light up onto me and to help define the monolith's shape as it lay flat on the stage.
I tooled up a soundtrack with dialogue for the less than 45 second skit (I actually nailed it at 25 seconds...less is more in most stage costume performances) the morning of the Maquerade...so early that I was worried that the audience would hear magpies telling the world all about it as they woke up while I was recording the voiceover at home!
Anyway, the skit ran like this...
Me: "My God, it's full of Stars...." (I altered the pitch so it sounded more like Dave Bowman's Doppler shifted last transmission as he entered the Monolith's Stargate,,,)
Richard Strauss "Also Spake Zarathustra" music begins to play....
I walk out onto stage carrying Spot, its bulk hiding me from the audience.
Me: "It puzzled the Americans. It confused the Russians. But the Australians knew exactly what to do with it!" (Drops Spot flat onto stage, walks onto it and begins to surf to the tune of Bombora, by the Atlantics.)
Me: "2010: The Year We Said, G'day!!" (Said in best Aussie accent...)
It must have looked okay because in the immortal words of "Iron Chef" it "gained the people's ovation and fame forever," and the Best Master Costumer award, which will look nice alongside the "Best In Show" I picked up for the 1999 Worldcon, Aussiecon III, also held here in Melbourne.
There are of course, a lot of people who helped get me onto the stage in the first place and as I develop this photoset I'll get to them in due course.
Suffice to say in this first text that I couldn't have done it without my partner, Gail Adams, my supportive friends, the truly amazing veteran Worldcon volunteers who ran the masquerade, the Aussiecon committee/crew who put on the Worldcon in the first place, the audience for being such good sports about this nonsenses, and of course, the other contestants who made it a PARADE, and not just me swanning about on stage on my lonesome playing silly buggers!
Before this gets too "Oscary" ("I'd like to thank The Academy, my First Grade teacher, the population of Australia...") I should also mention 3RRR FM's own music maestro, Simon Winkler, and Neil Rogers, who suggested "Bomboro" when I sought their advice on iconic Aussie surfing songs.
Ta very much all round mateys....
Oh, and for the earlier build phase of this costume please check out the 3RRR 2010 Radiothon Photoset where I explain its genesis....

The NASA Artemis spacesuit will be worn by the first female moonwalker in 2024!
ISS037-E-029014 (5 Nov. 2013) --- In the International Space Station's Pirs docking compartment, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Ryazanskiy, Expedition 37 flight engineer, wearing his Russian Orlan spacesuit, prepares for a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) scheduled for Nov. 9, 2013.
This spacesuit was worn by John Glenn during the first orbital flight of a U.S. astronaut. The flight took place on February 20, 1962 and lasted for 4 hours and 55 minutes, during which time he traveled 75,679 miles and orbited the earth three times. This spacesuit was developed by the B.F. Goodrich Company from the U.S. Navy MK-IV full pressure suit and was selected by NASA in 1959 for use in Project Mercury.

ISS036-E-038552 (30 Aug. 2013) --- NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, Expedition 36 flight engineer, works on an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit in the Quest airlock of the International Space Station.
A major challenge of the Apollo Program was designing a spacesuit that would endure temperatures ranging from +250F (121C) to -200F (-129C). It had to protect against ultraviolet radiation and micrometeroites, and seal out the vacuum of space while still allowing the astronauts to carry out their tasks.
"Lunar Wardrobe"
A liquid-cooled undergarment made of knitted nylon-spandex with 265 feet of plastic tubing was used to circulate cooling water from the Portable Life Support System. An outer pressure garment (spacesuit) of 18 layers including a helmet and gloves and provided meteroite and thermal protection. The elbows, shoulders, wrist, knee, waist and ankle joints were rubber coated allowing the astronauts limited movement for working on the Moon. Caps worn under the helmet had microphones and earphones. On later flights, a quart bag of drink water was attached inside the helmet. The gloves had fingertips made of silicon rubber to provide increased sensitivity.
Other componenets of thesuit included:
-an Extra Vehicula Activity (EVA) visor assembly which fit over the helmet and protected the astronaut from impact, thermal, ultraviolet and infrared rays.
-a Portable Life Support System (PLSS) backpack containing oxygen, cooling water and communications equipment. It also absorbed carbon dioxide and removed excess humidity from the air supply.
-an Oxygen Purge System (OPS) providing more than one hour of emergency air supply.

Made the carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber of the NASA Artemis Spacesuit with LEGO bricks.
Inside a spacesuit, as an astronaut continue to work, CO2 would build up. To prevent CO2 buildup, the CO2 scrubber beads are used. The gas goes through the bead bed and CO2 molecules (and humidity) are adsorbed/filtered. The beads can be regenerated by being exposed to space vacuum.
There are actually 2 beds inside the assembly (shown photos). When one is doing the filtering job, the other is exposed to space vacuum to desorb CO2.
This lego build is based on the real component published in the literature (Chullen et al., ICES-2015-313).
This is one of the microbuilds that populate the exploration primary life support system (xPLSS, backpack).
