50 years after the historic Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon, the Smithsonian celebrates by releasing the results of a multi-year conservation effort of Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit. The effort to protect and display Armstrong’s suit also included sharing it with a wider audience. The National Air and Space Museum and the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office 3D scanned the suit, helmet, and gloves.
