This spacesuit was made for astronaut Stuart Roosa and was used as his training suit prior to the Apollo 14 mission in January, 1971. It is in the intra-vehicular or IV configuration used by the Command Module Pilot.

Training suits were identical to those used during missions and were used during trainiing sessions to enable the astronauts to become accustomed to the weight and feel of a spacesuit while performing the tasks assigned.

Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA in 1977.
