This glove is part of the pair worn by astronaut Tom Stafford, Pilot of the Gemini 6 mission in December 1965. The mission was a 14 day orbital mission during which Gemini 7 and Gemini 6 performed successful rendezvous maneuvers and proved that man could live and work in space for an extended period of time.

G4-C gloves were constructed in a very similar fashion to both the G3-C and G5-C gloves: HT nylon, a strap and buckle adjustment around the wrist and palm, and the red and blue anodized aluminum wrist disconnects. There is a steel palm bar in between the layers of the gloves. There are finger lights and a small battery pack to facilitate visibility during periods of darkness.

The NASA - Manned Spacecraft Center transferred the gloves to the Museum in 1968.
