Troy Stewart, who worked as a equipment specialist and spacesuit technician, first as a U.S. Air Force detailee (1969 to 1974), then as an employee of ILC Industries (1978 to 1980) and then finally as a NASA employee (1980 to 1998), died on March 2, 2018 to cancer. He was 78. In 1998, Stewart took part in a NASA Oral History where he described his role during Apollo 11. ...kind of like my reward for doing such a good job and everything on the mission, I was assigned to Neil Armstrong. So that was my claim to fame, I guess you'd call it, is the fact that I worked with him through that mission as his suit tech, and I suited him up for the Apollo 11, and then, of course, after they left the suit room, I had no other things to do except clean up and wait for the launch.  During the shuttle program, Stewart became a member of the closeout crew. Here he is seen with STS-80 commander Ken Cockrell inside the white room on Pad 39B (wearing the no. 3 suit).  |
