American space suit, operational 1964. Dave Clark G3C initial Gemini production flight suits were worn aboard Gemini 3, and by the spacecraft commanders of Gemini 6 and 8.

Status: operational 1964.

Grissom and Young wore G3C suits serial number G3C-1 and G3C-4 on Gemini 3. The suits in the photograph had an aluminized covering, while Grissom and Young's flight suits were covered with white nylon. The suits may have been revised before flight, or training articles were being worn in the photo. Schirra almost certainly wore a G3C model on Gemini 6 - serial number G3C-3. Armstrong's flight suit for Gemini 8 was recorded as serial number G3C-24, implying that he wore a suit that had probably been assigned to him when he was training as the Gemini 5 back-up commander.
