About the Lunar Exploration Suit, Model MK 1

Allyn Hazard

A heavy topic of discussion among the members of the Major Matt Mason community is the origin of the Major Matt Mason Moonsuit. Mattel seems to have copied a design by the Space General Corporation from the early 60's. The suit, called the Lunar Exploration Suit, Model MK 1 was tested heavily in the Mojave desert by the inventor, Allyn Hazard (pic above). I started posting information regarding the suit sometime in 1997.

The purpose of this blog is to explore the suit, it's inventor, and the various appearances the suit has made in media and as an inspiration for toys. For a list of all pages and publication dates, please reference the What's New page.
