Up for auction this week is an extremely rare 1976 Gemini Era Fueling Space "SCAPE" Suit. This suit is very unique. It includes the helmet, gloves, suit, and hoses. Sizing of this suit is "Medium Regular." Information Vintage Self Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble (SCAPE) suit, complete with its rubber gloves, was utilized by missile silo and launch-pad team members engaged in fueling and de-tanking of storable liquid propellants affiliated with Titan launch vehicle and spacecraft reaction control systems, and were later used on fueling other spacecraft. Suit would have included its own backpack with breathing oxygen to isolate the wearer from hazards of hyper-golic fuel and oxidizer (propellants were extremely toxic and carcinogenic). Material surrounding hoses has disintegrated, as they all have. Condition The condition of the suit is good for the most part. The most obvious problem with the suit is that the zipper needs to be replaced. It seems to not want to align together. The inside hoses are also disintegrated, but all of these suits have this flaw today. Shipping Suit will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail or UPS, whichever is cheaper. If the winning bidder has a preference, this can be arranged. No international shipping, unless buyer is willing to pay for extra shipping charge. Payment Winning bidder must submit payment within 48 hours of the auction closing. This item is sold 'as is' meaning the sale is final. If you have any questions about this suit, please do not hesitate to email me. I always enjoy answering your questions and comments! Good luck!
