This spacesuit was made for and worn by astronaut Thomas Mattingly, command module pilot for the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972. While astronauts John Young and Charles Duke were on the lunar surface, Tom Mattingly circled the moon in the command module "Caspar" conducting fifteen SIMBAY experiments and becoming the astronaut with the longest solo spaceflight of over 81 hours. 

The suit has the designation A7-LB and was constructed in the CMP or "Command Module Pilot" configuration. During the return flight from the moon, he made a deep-space EVA lasting 1 hour and 24 minutes.

Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA - Johnson Space Center in 1973.
