Gemini IX reached orbit on June 3,1966. On June 5, astronaut Eugene Cerman opened his hatch and stepped outside for the third spacewalk in history. His mission: don a rocket-propelled Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU) backpack stowed at the rear of the spacecraft and maneuver in space. Gemini IX commander Thomas Stafford would, meanwhile, monitor his progress from inside Gemini IX's cockpit.
Displayed here are Cernan's G4C training space suit and the flight-ready backup to the Gemini IX AMU. The 166-pound AMU was unlike any maneuvering device ever flown in space. On Gemini IV, Ed White had used a simple cold gas-powered maneuvering gun. Modern space maneuvering devices also use cold gas for thrust. The AMU, by contrast, had 12 small hot-gas rocket thrusters. Where gas plumes from the AMU's thrusters struck Cernan's legs, the temperature would reach 1300 degrees. Because of this, engineers had to add a heat-resistant stainless steel fabric layer to the legs of Cernan's G4C suit.
Cernan would be linked to Gemini IX by a 125-foot nylon tether in case the AMU failed. If Cernan's test flight was successful, astronaut Edwin Aldrin would fly free- without a tether- during the mission of Gemini XII

Sorry, if i'm Little quite at the moment. We are currently working a 60 hour week to finish an Aston Martin project.
Anyhow, I took my niece and nephew, to the Nation Space Centre on saturday. The lighting was very low, so old F1.4 prime was needed at ISO 400, to avoid using the flash. Still I got some nice results.
This shot was though glass making it a bit tricky. I think this is my faverate of the day

"One suggested solution to the lunar dangers indicated here is a rigid, egg-shaped shield. Although the one at left is hypothetical the complex and many-layered Apollo suit beneath it is not. Its layers include a water-cooled inner suit, a main pressure shell and an insulating coverall."
This is interior of the Soviet Lunar EVA spacesuit, named Krechet.
The cosmonaut would enter the suit through the aperture left by the open backpack.

Pressure Suit, A7-L, Armstrong, Apollo 11, Flown
Display Status: This object is on display in the The Wright Brothers & The Invention of the Aerial Age exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Collection Item Summary:
This spacesuit was worn by astronaut Neil Armstrong, Commander of the Apollo 11 mission, which landed the first man on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
The lunar spacesuits were designed to provide a life sustaining environment for the astronaut during periods of extra vehicular activity or during unpressurized spacecraft operation. They permitted maximum mobility and were designed to be worn with relative comfort for up to 115 hours in conjunction with the liquid cooling garment. If necessary, they were also capable of being worn for 14 days in an unpressurized mode.
The spacesuit has the designation A-7L, and was constructed in the Extra-vehicular or EV configuration.
NASA transferred the spacesuit to the National Air and Space Museum in 1971.

iss072e518453 (Jan. 23, 2025) --- Two spacesuits are pictured staged inside the International Space Station's Quest airlock ahead of a spacewalk planned for NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. The two spacewalkers are scheduled to exit the Quest airlock on Jan. 30 to remove a radio frequency group antenna assembly and search for microbes outside the orbital outpost.
