- Caption: EVA Training Glove July 16-24, 1969 Apollo 11 This glove was used by astronaut Buzz Aldrin to train for the Apollo 11 moon landing. Additional sets of gloves were specifically made for training. The glove is constructed of an outer shell of Chromel-R fabric (woven stainless steel) 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.
