Surprise with Neil Armstrong's production of space suits

The space suit worn by Neil Armstrong himself when he set foot on the Moon. But the strange point is that this suit is made by a underwear manufacturing company.

If you ask where is the most important astronaut costume in history, perhaps scientists will not hesitate to assume that it is the A7L model, produced in 1967. Because only 2 years later, on the 20th July 7, 1969, Neil Armstrong himself wore it and became the first person in history to set foot on the Moon.

A7L - the convergence of technological quintessence

Nobody answered what Columbus wore when he set foot in America, but you could get all the information about the clothes that Armstrong, Buzz Arin and Mike Collins wore on the Apollo 11 train.

The suit is covered by 21 layers of synthetic rubber and polyester, which helps protect the body.

The suit is covered by 21 layers of synthetic rubber and polyester, which helps protect the body in the extreme extreme environmental conditions of the Moon (without the atmosphere, temperatures ranging from 113 to -173 degrees Celsius depending on place).

At the same time, it also prevents deadly ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, and even meteorites move at 16,000m / s.

A7L is a collection that gathers all the technological elite at that time.

It can be said that the A7L is a collection of all technological quintessence at that time. Every detail on the suit is hand-grafted, by the tailor-minded and most tailor-made tailors, because a single needle error of about . 0.7mm is enough to cause disaster in the universe, and will certainly must be canceled.

But most importantly, there is a material made just for Apollo 11. The material helps the suit withstand temperatures up to 530 degrees Celsius (1000 degrees F). It is Beta fabric - a fabric made of Teflon fiber , used as the outer layer of the suit.

The fabrication place is . women's underwear factory

The most difficult task for International Latex Corporation (ICL), is to combine 21 layers of fabric together to be safe for the wearer, but still have to ensure the ability to move freely in it. And they assigned that task to Playtex - a branch company of the group, specializing in manufacturing . women's underwear.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong.

It is the experts from this company who have created joint pads inside the suit - similar to the mattress in the bra, which helps the wearer to move his shoulders, knees, hips and ankles without spending much energy. And with Armstrong, being able to move freely means he has collected invaluable specimens on the Moon, supporting Buzz Adrin to do some field experiments, while also helping with the task. The most important history has been successful.
