from the Johnson Space Center (JSC), in original inventory bag.
These rare thermal mittens were utilized in order to
protect gloves from cuts to the gloves and the cold temperatures in space. Crew
members were instructed to wear this APMA during particular phases of the EVA
such as translating between work areas where there was reason for concern. The
mitten could be removed during other phases of the EVA when close work was
being performed
This is one of the earlier designs only found in museums.
