NASA Apollo-era SCAPE suit Toxic Fuel Handler's coveralls. (SCAPE) stands for Self Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble and is an original from the Kennedy Space Center. This well-used set of butyl-rubber coveralls with helmet, no gloves or boots, was made to be worn by those who transferred the dangerously volatile and corrosive propellant fuel to and from rockets at the Kennedy Space Center. The inside retains portions of its original springs and hoses. The helmet has the large numbers "613" on both sides. Helmet also retains its NASA/KSC label inside. In good condition, with areas of rubber beginning to deteriorate, scattered wear, scuffing, and soiling, and non-functioning zipper. This genuine NASA Apollo-era SCAPE suit is an interesting addition to any Space collection. The suit retains the original "NASA property" metal tag and identification numbers.
