- Summary
- This boot is part of a four-piece inflight coverall garment assigned to astronaut David Scott for use during his Apollo 15 mission in July 1971. However, it was never used.
- The complete garment consists of jacket, trousers and boots which had a circular Velcro patch on the soles. It is constructed of a Teflon fabric which is highly fire resistant, and the "slippery" qualities of the fabric enabled the astronaut to don and doff the garment with ease in a weightless environment.
- The jacket had a US flag on the left shoulder and a NASA "meatball" logo on the upper torso. Flight garments also had a mission symbol attached to the upper torso.
- Transferred from NASA - Johnson Space Center in 1978.
