APOLLO 16 — QUALITY CONTROL

PRE-FLIGHT X-RAY OF SPACESUIT COVER LAYER BOOTS, 17 FEBRUARY 1972


X-Ray, 14 by 17 inches, numbered 051 and bearing the date "17 FEB 72"; some scattered minor scratches consistent with use, one small piece🌃 of adhesive to each corner.


Taken just two months before the Apollo 16 launch. The Nondestructive Evaluation Group (NDE) at NASA x-r🌳ayed all of the suits to verify that there were no sharp objects left behind from the manufacturing process. This x-ray shows a pair of cover layer boots, an extravehicular overshoe that was designed to be worn over spacesuit boots while the walking on the Moon.
