The Soviets developed this space suit for use by a cosmonaut on the Moon. Called Krechet ("Golden Falcon"), it differs from the Apollo space suit in several ways:
- The backpack life-support unit is hinged like a door, allowing the cosmonaut to step into the suit
- Although the arms and legs are flexible, the torso of the Krechet suit is a semi-rigid shell
- The control panel on the chest folds up out of the way when not in use
- The boots are made of flexible leather
Like the Apollo helmet, the Krechet helmet has a gold-coated outer visor for protection from bright sunlight. The life-support backpacks of the two suits are also similar, containing systems to provide oxygen, suit pressure, temperature and humidity control, and communications.
A similar space suit is used by cosmonauts working outside the Russian space station Mir.

During Project Gemini, Dr. von Braun and is team recognized the need for a facility where engineers and astronauts could understand the concept of body motion in conditions where weight is irrelevant, such as you would find in space. Housed at building 4705 at Marshall Space Flight Center, the Neutral Buoyancy Simulator or NBS, was built in order to train those engineers and astronauts how to function in space. This kind of training led to the development of seemingly unimportant things like hand and foot holds for inside the spacecraft and specialized maneuvering units for working outside the spacecraft.
Initially, funding for the facility was denied but the ever resourceful von Braun, realizing the importance of this kind of training, decided to ask forgiveness instead of permission and had the facility built anyway. A sly reclassification of the NBS as a tool instead of a facility allowed funds to be used from the Research and Development budget... and a reprimand from General Accounting for "creative movement of finances.”
In 1968 the Neutral Buoyancy Simulator was completed. The water tank is 75 feet (23 m) in diameter and 40 feet (12 m) deep and holds 1.2 million gallons of continually recirculated and filtered water. In addition to the systems for audio, video and pressure suit control, the simulator is equipped with underwater lighting and electrical power operations of motors, valves and indicators for the engineering mockups and trainers inside the tank. The tank declared a National Landmark in 1985.
On several occasions Dr. von Braun trained in the NBS himself using the same pressure suits and equipment as the astronauts did. This space suit was used by von Braun on one of his dives. Here you can see von Braun preparing for a dive in September of 1968.

This Model A7L space suit was worn by Apollo 15 astronaut Jim Irwin while training as the backup LM pilot for Apollo 12.
Apollo Pressure Garment Assembly (PGA)
The primary component of the Apollo lunar space suit is an inner Pressure Garment Assembly (PGA). Comprised of a rubber-coated nylon pressure bladder surrounded by two layers of blue nylon, the PGA maintained the internal environment for the astronaut. Flexible joints were located at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, thighs, knees and ankles. The PGA was complete with a set of IV (intervehicular) pressure gloves, boots and a clear "fishbowl" helmet made from super-strong Lexan plastic.
Integrated Thermal Meteoroid Garment (ITMG)
The white, outer covering of the Apollo suit was called the Integrated Thermal Meteoroid Garment (ITMG). It was installed over the top of the PGA and consisted of an outer layer of a woven, fire-resistant glass fiber called Beta cloth. Beneath the beta cloth were 17 additional layers of various insulation materials that provided both thermal resistance and protection against micrometeorites. Completely assembled, an Apollo lunar space suit layers of nine different fabrics. consisted of more than 21 layers of nine different fabrics.
A Change in Style
Two models of the Apollo lunar space suit were used by NASA. The first generation of the Apollo suit, which was used during Apollo 7 through 14, was the Model A7L.
During the last three flights of the Apollo lunar program (Apollos 15, 16 and 17), astronauts drove a small, electric car on the surface called the Lunar Rover. Significant changes in the space suit were required in order to allow the astronauts to sit properly in the vehicle. This led to the development of the more advanced Model A7L-B suit. It incorporated a new flexible joint at the waist to make it easier for the astronauts to sit in the Rover.
The A7L-B also incorporated redesigned pressure joints throughout the suit, as well as changes to the inner IV pressure gloves which greatly added to the suit's flexibility and comfort. Improvements were also made to the LEVA helmet by adding a hard overcap unit that contained an adjustable and retractable light shade to further help shield the astronaut's eyes from the intense sunlight.
The A7L-B continued to be used throughout the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz programs, and became the primary training suit for the early Shuttle astronauts.
The primary visual difference between the two models of suits can be seen in the placement of the hose connectors on the front of the garments. The A7L connectors were laid out in a symmetrical, square fashion. Because of the added waist joint, the A7L-B's connectors were placed in a diagonal pattern.
JUST THINK... Fully outfitted, an Apollo lunar space suit weighed over 180 pounds. Fortunately, the 1/6th gravity of the Moon made it feel like only 30 pounds.

The National Space Centre, Leicester. Sokol KV-2 Rescue Spacesuit.
This spacesuit is designed to keep cosmonauts alive if their Soyuz spacecraft suffers a de-pressurisation event. The spacesuit is connected directly to the spacecraft and provides two hours of life support in an emergency. They are not designed for spacewalks outside the spacecraft.
Early Soyuz flights did not require cosmonauts to wear pressure suits. However, after the Soyuz 11 tragedy, when the crew died during re-entry after their spacecraft de-pressurised, the importance of rescue spacesuits was re-thought. The Soviet space programme sought to design a suit that could be worn for launch, landing and docking manoeuvres – the times of most risk. NPP Zvezda was selected to come up with a solution, and rather than adapt pre-existing spacesuit designs, they chose to modify their own high-altitude aviation pressure suits. The Sokol (meaning ‘Falcon’) suit was born, and through its various design modifications it has become the most successful spacesuit of this type.
The National Space Centre’s Sokol suit #155, manufactured by Zvezda in 1990, is similar in size and design to the suit flown by Helen Sharman on Project Juno in 1991 - as she became the first Brit in space. The suit is an authentic, but un-flown, Sokol spacesuit worn by Helen during her training. The suit has been mocked-up for display purposes to look like the one Helen wore in space, by stitching patches of the joint British-Soviet flight to it. The appliqued patches include a Zvezda patch, the Project Juno (Soyuz TM-12) mission patch and a Union Jack. There is also a bi-lingual name label.
The Sokol KV-2 design - where K stands for the Russian word for space and V for the Russian word for ventilation - consists of a pressure garment with hood, radio headset and canvas boots. The pressure suit is made of white nylon canvas, with a rubberised cloth lining (polycaprolactam). It has an attached pressurised hood (rather than a solid metal helmet) with a hinged polycarbonate visor that secures to a blue anodised aluminium clavicle flange. Decorated with royal blue trim and appliqued patches, it has detachable gloves, attached umbilical cords, and attached soled feet. The hoses and cables for electrical, air and coolant lines join the suit at anodised aluminium umbilical interfaces. There is a pressure equalisation valve on the centre of the chest. A support sling wraps from the chest to the back with webbed belts and metal clips. The sleeves have adjustable articulating cables in the upper arm and webbed belt lashings and a pressure gauge on the left-hand sleeve. There are adjustable webbed straps attached to metal rings on the side seams and along the crotch. The suit has a double V-front zip through which the suit is entered and a lace-up crotch covered by a triangular placket. It has pleated knees and has two utility pockets on each leg. The grey canvas boots cover the pressure suit feet. A radio headset is worn under the hood and is made of leather, with a cotton mesh section covering the skull.

Astronaut Pete Conrad wore this Lunar EVA suit when he walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission in 1969. This model A7L suit is one of only two Lunar suits on display outside the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The power-like substance on the legs of the suit is fine Moon dust Conrad kicked up while trudging along the lunar surface.
Like the Mercury and Gemini spacesuits, the Apollo lunar suit served as a backup pressure system to the space capsule This lunar suit, however, had to function in the near weightless environment of the spacecraft as well as on the Moon, which has a gravitational pull one-sixth that of Earth. Flexibility was a key factor for the Apollo lunar suit. Movement was needed for completing lunar experiments and bending and picking up Moon rocks without having to carry a heavy, cumbersome oxygen system. The answer was the self-contained portable life system (PLS5) backpack. The suit needed to circulate oxygen, cool water and provide communication. Underneath the Apollo lunar suit was the liquid cooling garment to prevent the astronaut from becoming overheated. On top of this layer was the pressure garment assembly followed by a multi-layered outer suit. Capping off the suit was a communication headset and a clear plastic pressure helmet, custom boots and custom fit gloves with specially molded fingertips for handling equipment.
Charles "Pete" Conrad was selected in NASA's second astronaut class. He set an eight-day space endurance record along with his Command Pilot Gordon Cooper on his first spaceflight, the Gemini 5 mission. Conrad also commanded the Gemini 11 mission. He became the third human to walk on the moon during the Apollo 12 mission. After Apollo, he commanded Skylab 2, the first crewed Skylab mission. On the mission, he and his crewmates repaired significant launch damage to the Skylab space station. For this, President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978.
Space Center Houston is the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center and a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum owned and operated by the nonprofit Manned Spaceflight Education Foundation. The center opened in 1992 and hosts more than 1 million visitors annually in its 250,000-square-foot educational complex with over 400 space artifacts, permanent and traveling exhibits, attractions, live shows and theaters dedicated to preserving the history of America's human spaceflight program.
The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Manned Spacecraft Center, where human spaceflight training, research, and flight control are conducted. Construction of the center, designed by Charles Luckman, began in 1962 and the 1,620-acre facility officially opened for business in September 1963. The center is home to NASA's astronaut corps, and is responsible for training astronauts from both the U.S. and its international partners. It has become popularly known for its flight control function, identified as "Mission Control" during the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo–Soyuz, and Space Shuttle program flights. It is also the site of the former Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where the first astronauts returning from the Moon were quarantined, and where the majority of lunar samples are stored.
ABSTRACT
Disclosed is a pressure suit for high altitude flights and particularly space missions. The suit is designed for astronauts in the Apollo Space Program and may be worn both inside and outside a space vehicle, as well as on the lunar surface. It comprises an integrated assembly of inner comfort liner, intermediate pressure garment, and outer thermal protective garment with removable helmet and gloves. The pressure garment comprises an inner convoluted sealing bladder and outer fabric restraint to which are attached a plurality of cable restraint assemblies. It provides versatility in combination with improved sealing and increased mobility for internal pressures suitable for life support in the near vacuum of outer space.

This Model A7L space suit (DISPLAYED LEFT) was worn by Apollo 15 astronaut Jim Irwin while training as the backup LM pilot for Apollo 12.
This Model A7L-B space suit (DISPLAYED RIGHT) was the backup flight suit for the last man to walk on the Moon, Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan.
The Modular Equipment Transporter (MET)- nicknamed the "lunar rickshaw' (CENTER) was a hand-pulled cart used during the Apollo 14 mission to assist in transporting tools cameras and lunar samples on the Moon's surface. This specific "rickshaw" was a flight backup for the mission.
Apollo Pressure Garment Assembly (PGA)
The primary component of the Apollo lunar space suit is an inner Pressure Garment Assembly (PGA). Comprised of a rubber-coated nylon pressure bladder surrounded by two layers of blue nylon, the PGA maintained the internal environment for the astronaut. Flexible joints were located at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, thighs, knees and ankles. The PGA was complete with a set of IV (intervehicular) pressure gloves, boots and a clear "fishbowl" helmet made from super-strong Lexan plastic.
Integrated Thermal Meteoroid Garment (ITMG)
The white, outer covering of the Apollo suit was called the Integrated Thermal Meteoroid Garment (ITMG). It was installed over the top of the PGA and consisted of an outer layer of a woven, fire-resistant glass fiber called Beta cloth. Beneath the beta cloth were 17 additional layers of various insulation materials that provided both thermal resistance and protection against micrometeorites. Completely assembled, an Apollo lunar space suit layers of nine different fabrics. consisted of more than 21 layers of nine different fabrics.
