Description

Apollo A7L Space Suit Pressure Garment Assembly (PGA) Liner sized for Apollo 15 CMP Al Worden, with an ILC Industries, Inc., tag sewn into the collar: "Item: Liner Assembly, PGA, Part No. A7L-107000-15, Size: A. Worden, Serial No. 113, Spec. CP 2001, CEI No. 2001, Code Ident. 74897, Date: 12/69, Contract No. NAS 9-6100." The liner has padded upper arms and shoulders, a Velcro-closed back, and ample slots and holes for space suit life support equipment. In fine condition.

The A7L suits consisted of an inner Pressure Garment Assembly (PGA) that was pressurized with oxygen for breathing, and an outer Integrated Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (I/TMG) that protected the astronaut from temperature extremes and hypervelocity micrometeoroid punctures while on the lunar surface. Connectors for the primary and backup oxygen supply, electrical supply, and water for space suit cooling were on the front torso area of the A7L suit.
