In the photograph the crew pose in front of an image of the Moon, wearing their A7-L spacesuits without the gloves and helmet. The spacesuits kept Armstrong and Aldrin alive while they were outside the spacecraft on the lunar surface. They were also designed to be worn during unpressurised spacecraft operation.
