Spacesuit and Schoolroom: Enos Couch
This is the couch the chimp Enos rode into orbit during the Mercury-Atlas 5 (MA-5) mission. The enclosed couch served the same protective function as the Mercury astronauts' silver space suit. If the Mercury capsule sprang a leak, the couch would provide Enos with life-sustaining oxygen.
The couch was also a "school room." Housed in its cover was a psychomotor apparatus that gave Enos four problems to solve. For example, Enos picked out the odd shape from a set of three shapes. If he failed, he received a mild electric shock. Another problem rewarded him with banana pellets. Completing the four problems earned him a rest, then the cycle repeated.
[Chimpanzee Enos, prior to launch onboard Mercury-Atlas 5, is shown hying in the flight couch (on display above), awaiting insertion into the spacecraft.]
Mercury-Atlas 5 in Orbit
On November 29, 1961, MA-5 was ready. Doctors gave 39-pound Enos a physical exam and strapped him into his couch. Five hours before launch, technicians loaded couch and chimp into the Mercury capsule. At 10:08 a.m., Enos lifted off. During his five-minute climb to orbit he experienced 7.6 gravities of acceleration. The Atlas rocket placed Enos into an orbit with a low point of 99 miles and a high point of 147 miles.
The first of three planned orbits was uneventful, then problems began. The psychomotor apparatus gave Enos shocks even when he correctly solved his problems, and a failed steering thruster allowed the capsule to drift. Then the life support system malfunctioned, sending the temperature climbing.
[Enos, the second chimpanzee to fly in space, is shown here with his handler]
An Early Return Paves The Way For Man Mission
Control decided to bring Enos home one orbit early. He experienced 7.8 gravities of acceleration during the flaming passage through the atmosphere. Splashdown was on target in the Atlantic. Four and a half hours after launch, Enos was safe on board the destroyer Stormes.
Had a human astronaut flown MA-5, the mission would probably have achieved its planned three orbits. An astronaut could’ve, for example, switched to manual control to solve the thruster problem. NASA was pleased with Enos's flight. At the MA-5 post-flight press conference, NASA officials announced that Mercury-Atlas 6 would launch John H. Glenn into orbit.

This image is part of a collection to commemorate the 45th Anniversary of the Apollo 13 Mission.
The San Diego Air and Space Museum is celebrating the 2015 Centennial of the Pan American Exposition by honoring one of the most memorable space flights in history. The Apollo 13 crew, astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise, join the San Diego Air & Space Museum Saturday, March 21st for a rare 45th Anniversary Celebration appearance and personal recap of their historic mission. The celebration also honors the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo race to the moon and those people who made it happen.

"Suited for Space," developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), chronicles the history of the spacesuit, from the 1920s to the Space Shuttle era.
The exhibit includes dozens of life-size images and banners of spacesuits in the collection at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

“Spanish Colonel Don Emilio Herrera Linares designed and built a full pressure suit in 1935, which was to have been used during an open-basket balloon stratospheric flight scheduled for early 1936. The Spanish Civil War intervened.”
the team that managed the space-suit fitting.... which included two
hours lying inside the pressurized space suit inside the seat (in
picture), to make sure that I could stand it for that long without
losing circulation in my legs. When the suit is pressurized, it
balloons out (despite various restraining tapes and belts), and cuts
into your legs behind your bent knees. Meanwhile, your gloves become
inflated and rigid, making it very hard to hold reading material to
help pass the time. Fortunately, they helped b sticking one page
after another into my hands.
.....and in the end, I passed! my new space suit should be ready in
a couple of weeks.

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.

Glove, Right, A7-L, Extravehicular, Apollo 11, Armstrong, 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:
These Extra-Vehicular (EV) gloves were made for and worn by astronaut Neil Armstrong, Commander of the Apollo 11 mission in July, 1969.
The gloves were constructed of an outer shell of Chromel-R fabric with thermal insulation to provide protection while handling extremely hot or cold objects. The blue fingertips were made of silicone rubber to provide sensitivity. The inner glove was of a rubber/neoprene compound, into which the restraint system was integrated, and they attached to the spacesuit using the same mechanism as the intra-vehicular gloves.
Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA in 1971.
