| Allyn B. Hazard in the Mojave Desert |
This blog focuses on the Moon Suit design by the Space General Corporation from the early 60's. The suit, called the Lunar Exploration Suit, Model MK 1 was tested in the Mojave desert by the inventor, Allyn Hazard (pic at above) so most of the images shown are from those tests.
The suit most famously appeared on the cover of Life Magazine April 27, 1962 with a couple of extra interior shots and an accompanying article.
The suit next appeared in a couple of articles for Boys Life Magazine October 1964 with accompanying photographs.
Next, the suit appeared in the Life Science Library - Man and Space Edition also in 1964 before appearing in other publications
There are also misc. appearances of the suit as Toys and Collectibles.
