This spacesuit was constructed for and worn by astronaut Eugene Cernan,
Lunar Module pilot of the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
Apollo 17 was the eleventh and final manned mission in the United States Apollo space program. Launched at 12:33 a.m. EST on 7 December 1972, with a three-member crew consisting of Commander Eugene Cernan, Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 remains the most recent manned Moon landing and the most recent manned flight beyond low Earth orbit.
Apollo 17 was the sixth Apollo lunar landing, the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight
and the final manned launch of a Saturn V rocket. It was a "J-type mission",
missions including three-day lunar surface stays, extended scientific capability,
and the third Lunar Roving Vehicle. While Evans remained in lunar orbit above in the Command/Service Module, Cernan and Schmitt spent just over three days on the lunar surface in the Taurus-Littrow valley, conducting three periods of extra-vehicular activity, or moonwalks, during which they collected lunar samples and deployed scientific instruments. Cernan, Evans,
and Schmitt returned to Earth on 19 December after an approximately 12-day mission.
The decision to land in the Taurus-Littrow valley was made with the primary objectives for Apollo 17 in mind: to sample lunar highland material older than the impact that formed Mare Imbrium and investigating the possibility of relatively young volcanic activity in the same vicinity. Taurus-Littrow was selected with the prospects of finding highland material in the valley's north and south walls and the possibility that several craters in the valley surrounded by dark material could be linked to volcanic activity.
Apollo 17 also broke several records set by previous flights, including the longest manned lunar landing flight; the longest total lunar surface extravehicular activities; the largest lunar sample return, and the longest time in lunar orbit.
This spacesuit has the designation A7-L and was constructed in the EV (extra-vehicular) configuration.
It permitted maximum mobility and was designed to be worn with relative comfort for up to 115 hours in conjunction with the liquid cooling garment. It was also capable of being worn for 14 days in an unpressurized mode.
The spacesuit was made by the International Latex Corporation, and transferred to the
National Air and Space Museum from NASA - Manned Spacecraft Center in 1973.
Danser un slow avec mon scaphandre : check. On a essayé nos scaphandres une dernière fois avant le retour, pour une ultime vérification. Il y a une légende urbaine qui raconte l’histoire d’un astronaute qui ne rentrait plus dans sa combinaison après avoir abusé de la musculation pendant ses 6 mois de mission, et non ce n’était pas moi en 2017 💪 Pas forcément facile à enfiler, mais on s’entraide. 😁
SpaceX spacesuit slow dancing... yes! We tried on our spacesuits one last time to check that everything still fits! There’s an urban legend of an astronaut who worked out so much on ISS that he didn’t fit in his spacesuit (or in his custom-moulded) seat for return… it’s not going to be me… I hope 💪. As getting into the spacesuits is not easy, and maybe because it will be one of the last times we are weightless for a long time the pictures came out fun.

iss048e045351 (07/28/2016) --- Expedition 48 crew members Kate Rubins (left) and Jeff Williams (right) of NASA outfit spacesuits inside of the Quest airlock aboard the International Space Station. Rubins and Williams will conduct a spacewalk in August 2016 to install the first International Docking Adapter, the new docking port that will enable the future arrival of U.S. commercial crew spacecraft.

An advantage of weightlessness: you can swing your friends around (gently). We tried on our spacesuits one last time to check that everything still fits!

“EARLY SPACEMEN—Engineers test spacesuit flexibility in mockup of full scale Apollo spacecraft command module at North American’s Space and Information Systems Division, Downey, Calif. Apollo spacecraft command and service modules are produced at Downey for NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston.”
Yet again…I’ve seen this image many-a-time while searching for something else. Of course, right now, intentionally trying to find it; zip, nada, zilch. And that’s using reverse image & multiple keyword combination searches. UGH. If I recall correctly, it was primarily published in a generic press release capacity. Even if in NASA publication(s), accompanied only by something similar to the above.
Regardless, I believe one of these gentlemen conducted a simulated two-week mission using a Block I CM inside a vacuum chamber at the company’s Downey, California facility. That being John Moyles on the far left. In the center, with the steely-eyed gaze – and possibly no couch? – is Wallace Johnson. I haven’t a clue who’s to the back left. The first & stand-alone letter of his name tab appears to be an 'M."
Finally, neither here nor there, but the amazing resolution reveals the International Latex Corp. logo on the back of Mr. Moyles’ right-hand glove. Along that line, see also:
Wallace Johnson, outstanding:

Il s'est passé des choses bizarres dans la Station pendant Halloween : un scaphandre errant s'est mis à déambuler comme un fantôme, et cette main qui surgit d'entre les morts... 😱 À moins que ce soit une farce d'Aki ?
Strange things were happening on ISS for Halloween: a spooky spacesuit floating, and Aki rising from the dead (or is it from our observation window?)

iss063e030657 (June 18, 2020) --- A U.S. spacesuit is pictured in the Quest airlock of the International Space Station ahead of a pair of spacewalks that astronauts Chris Cassidy and Behnken will conduct to upgrade orbital lab power systems. A pair of plush-doll mascots, (from left) Tremor and Little Earth, delivered aboard the first two SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicles are posed floating in front of the spacesuit.
Updated the torso structure of my LEGO NASA Artemis Spacesuit; tighter and more rigid, yet hollow like the real spacesuit.

In the summer of 2019, thanks to Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, MLB ballparks were home to one of 15 replica statues of Neil Armstrong’s iconic spacesuit to celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first Apollo Moon landing. As part of a kickstarter to conserve and digitize Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit, and put it back on display for the first time in over a decade, the spacesuit was 3D scanned. Those scans were used to create an authentic replica of the suit to give ballpark visitors a look at the suit’s many intricate details. Apollo 11 was the collective achievement of 400,000 individuals working together towards a common goal. To highlight this national effort, the Museum brought a piece of Apollo to Americans across the country. As our national pastime, baseball provides countless exciting moments for millions of Americans every year and MLB ballparks were the perfect venues for new generations to learn more about that summer night 50 years ago.
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility, and humans stepped foot on the Moon for the first time. With that historic achievement, Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins became American heroes and earned international acclaim. The Apollo program remains the only time in history that humans have set foot on another celestial body. Apollo at the Park celebrates the astronauts who took our first small steps beyond Earth and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who worked together to make one giant leap for all humankind
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Un nouveau cycle de sorties extravéhiculaires (mon correcteur orthographique veut plutôt écrire « extraordinaires » et honnêtement ça n’aurait pas été faux) est sur le point de commencer. Cette fois-ci, Mark et Aki prendront place dans les scaphandres. Comme d'habitude, les vérifications sont de mise : il faut s'assurer que tout fonctionne bien et qu'ils leur vont. Ils l'ont déjà fait sur Terre, mais si vous vous rappelez bien, la colonne vertébrale s'allonge un peu un impesanteur, on grandit momentanément Et puis 2 précautions valent mieux qu'une ! Entrer et sortir de sa combinaison, une véritable armure, reste un moment délicat, peu importe l'expérience de l'astronaute 😆 Pour ces essais, c'est Megan qui était aux commandes des opérations 👨🚀🚀👩🚀
Another cycle of EVAs is set to begin, but this time I’m not in the spacesuit! Mark and Aki will head out the door. One important step is verifying that their suits fit and work properly (don’t forget, our spines lengthen and our bodies change a bit in weightlessness). Getting in and out of the US EMU suit is a team effort. In this case, Megan was running the show. 👨🚀🚀👩🚀

Shot on well expired ( Nov 1978 ) kodak ektachrome 160t shot at ISO 64 and cross processed as a negative in homemade developer using Fuji RA-4 print developer. Shot with Pentax 67 and Pentax 67 fisheye 35mm.
This shot was handheld, indoors with no natural light. F 3.5 and 1/8 th second handheld.
Fuji EC1 RA 108 developer concentrate - 1:25, 20 ml in 500 ml. Develop at 80 degrees F for 12 minutes with constant agitation. Water stop/rinse. Bleach with potassium ferricyanide bleach for 8 minutes constant agitation, water rinse, fix with ilford hypam 1:4 for 6 minutes constant agitation. Wash, finish in dsitilled water and 4ml of photoflo 200.
I am amazed at what this film can STILL do, even rated at ISO 64 and shooting indoors. Special

The posable 1:7 scale spacesuit all made of LEGO bricks was designed based on the real new spacesuit developed by NASA for the mission to return to the moon, called Artemis Program.
Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo (the Apollo Program was the first to explore the moon in 1969-72).
The new moonwalker spacesuit was made with LEGO.

Once finished with the fit-check we need to clean up, Megan helped out. OFV (we LOVE acronyms in the space industry): or On-orbit Fit Verification: we try out our spacesuits before taking them out this week. Mark is working hard getting us in the suit and making sure everything is in configuration… and that the suit is airtight. It seems like we’re getting a foot massage, but we’re not!
Une fois les essayages finis, il faut tout ranger, ça ne change pas de la vie sur Terre… Megan donne un coup de main efficace avec style 🐱🐉#chaussettesdinosaures. La sortie dans l'espace de mercredi prochain avec Shane se rapproche ! Tous ceux qui travaillent dans le spatial vous le diront : rien ne vaut un bon vieil acronyme. Celui du jour : OFV. L’activité à consisté à essayer nos scaphandres pour vérifier que tout était parfait, avant de les utiliser dehors dans l'environnement franchement hostile de l'espace. Shane et moi avons été aidés par Mark et Megan – un scaphandre spatial, ça ne s’enfile pas tout seul !
