Abstract
Crew-worn systems/components of Apollo spacesuits were studied to determine contamination, abrasion, and wear or loss of function due to lunar soil particles. Materials studied included outermost soft fabric layers on Apollo 12 and 17 integrated thermal micrometeorite garment assemblies and outermost fabrics on Apollo 17 extravehicular pressure gloves.
