Cosmonaut Gennady Padalka's flown right-handed Orlan EVA space suit glove flown to the International Space Station for Expedition 9, April 21–October 23, 2004, during which Padalka conducted four spacewalks. The glove features an insulated nylon canvas outer surface and inner pressure glove with pebbled dark green rubber palm/fingers and smooth fingertips, serial numbered on the wrist, "ГП-10К-2-0410057." The glove's Velcro-close flap over the knuckles is annotated in felt tip with 'crib notes' affiliated with EVA activities. Stamped on the underside with three on-board ISS stamps. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Gennady Padalka, certifying that the glove "was flown with me during Expedition 9." Also includes an embroidered Expedition 9 mission patch and photo of Padalka wearing the glove during an EVA; it is easily identified by its distinctive markings. From 2015 to 2024, Padalka had the distinction of holding the record for the most time spent in space by any human, accruing a remarkable total of 878 days.
