Hi,
Does anyone know who wore the red helmet on Apollo 9. Looking at various photos some are described as Scott and others as Schweickart. Did they both wear red helmets? I always understood read banding on spacesuits to signify the mission commander was this different for earlier flights? Replies appreciated!
Many thanks,
Nick.

Hi Nick, They both wore red helmets, in fact all the Apollo astroanuts who performed EVA's wore red helmets, its just that only the Apollo 9 crew didn't have the white thermal covering on them. Hope this answers your question. Adam |

Both Scott and Schweickart wore red helmets for their Apollo 9 EVAs.
