Abstract From the beginning of the Apollo contract, NASA recognized that the development of the initial suit system was only a first step for lunar surface exploration. It was believed that effective exploration would require a more specialized spacesuit than the initial system recounted in Chapter 6. This began with NASA funding Litton Corporation for advanced pressure suit development in 1962. In 1963, NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) located in Houston, Texas, started developing requirements for a later Apollo suit system that was to commence operation in the 1970–73 timeframe. For these later missions, NASA was planning for extended stays leading to bases to permit extensive study of lunar geography. Also in 1963, NASA’s Ames Research Center located at Moffett Field, California, was tasked with advanced spacesuit development.
