Synopsis:
The A7L Apollo & Skylab spacesuit is the primary pressure suit worn
by NASA astronauts for Project Apollo, the three manned Skylab flights,
and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project between 1968 and the termination of
the Apollo program in 1975. The "A7L" designation is used by NASA as the
seventh Apollo spacesuit designed and built by ILC Dover. The A7L is a
design evolution of ILC's initial design A5L and the A6L, which
introduced the integrated thermal and micrometeroid cover layer. After
the deadly Apollo 1 fire, the suit was upgraded to be fire-resistant and
given the designation A7.
