Smilies Legend
The displayed landmark Apollo suit at the ILC Dover company museum is the Model A7L, serial number 036, delivered to NASA in September, 1968. It was manufactured as a primary flight suit for Astronaut Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin as a member of the Apollo 8 backup crew. Aldrin then used it as his training suit for the Apollo 11 mission. This suit was later returned to ILC Dover by NASA so that it could be modified as a training suit to support Astronaut William Pogue for the Skylab Mission he flew in November 1973.
