The Space Store is pleased to announce an alliance with a Hollywood effects company for the design, creation and reproduction of an Apollo replica spacesuit similar to that of the A7L "Moon Suit" worn by Buzz Aldrin.
Our Apollo suit will offer the highest level of quality in terms of authenticity and durability offered anywhere in the world in the $2000-$2500 price range.
The Hollywood effects company currently produces an Apollo suit that is the most authentic on the market, but has a price tag that limits production numbers as well as a price-point that is too high for most would-be consumers.
This Apollo suit will include the spacesuit itself, Apollo boots, gloves, backpack, "Snoopy Cap" and helmet. The Space Store will carry this suit in inventory, as an "off the rack item," making it available to ship worldwide upon ordering. Typically, suits such as this on the market have been special order items, making the availability to meet customer and corporate event schedules often difficult at best.
The design is nearly completed and a prototype is in production now. A limited number of these suits are projected to be available this December. Other designs are planned, including the orange space shuttle launch and re-entry suit, and the possibility of a Mercury astronaut suit, and even a Russian spacesuit. Watch our site for pictures as they near completion.
