Apollo In-Flight Coveralls
In the Apollo spacecraft there was enough room for the crew to remove their space suits during the mission. A set of coveralls was developed for wear without the suits. The Teflon-fabric coveralls consisted of a jacket, trousers, and lightweight fabric boots. Edwin "Buzz" E. Aldrin, Jr., wore this set of coveralls during the flight of Apollo 11, July 16-24, 1969.

Constant Wear Garment
The Constant Wear Garment was a one-piece undergarment worn under the in-flight coveralls and under the space suit while in the spacecraft. Astronaut Michael Collins wore this garment during the flight of Apollo 11.

Sleeping Restraint Assembly
The restraint assembly was designed to hold a sleeping astronaut in place so that he would not float about, possibly interfering with the operation of the spacecraft. This assembly flew on Apollo 11.

Space Pens
The Apollo 11 crew used these pencils and felt-tip pens on their flight. The ball-point pen on the right has a special gas-pressurized ink cartridge for writing in weightless conditions.
