This ILC-designed spacesuit was made for and worn by James Lovell during the Apollo 13 mission in April 1970. Apollo 13 was scheduled to be a lunar landing mission, but sustained major damage during the flight to the moon, and consequently there was no lunar landing.

The spacesuit has the designation A7-L, and is in the EV (Extra-vehicular) configuration. It was constructed in 1969 and consists of approximately 26 layers of materials including a rubber-neoprene bladder, aluminized mylar, and a fire-resistant cover of beta-cloth.

Transferred from NASA in 1973.
