 Gemini-7 pilot Jim Lovell demonstrates the lightweight G5C spacesuit for the mission, which featured a soft, collapsible helmet with polycarbonate visor. A fighter pilot�s crash helmet was worn underneath. The suit could be taken off in the cramped cabin of the Gemini spacecraft, enabling the crew to be more comfortable during the 14-day mission in December 1965. Ed Hengeveld |

What a FANTASTIC photo!!!
The Gemini 7 suits are the most fascinating suits of all time!! I remember my mother getting us up to watch the Mercury and Gemini launches. I also remember the Gemini 7 Astronauts scared the _____ out of me!! They looked like aliens from Mars to me as I was 11 years old at the time. I guess a young eleven. On all of the Gemini tapes there is really little on their light weight spacesuits. |
