"Hands In Space" exhibit at Smithsonian Folklife Festival

Popularity of the new "Hands In Space" astronaut glove experience is apparent from the reactions of people feeling what it's like to wear a space suit.

A collaboration of Island Astronomy Institute (islandastro.org) and Flagsuit, this exhibit is being developed for museums and educational institutions to provide "hands-on" learning in math, science and engineering.

Features new space suit gloves developed by Flagsuit for personal space flight suits. Features the first commercially developed astronaut glove for children.
