 The Smithsonian Institution
The Smithsonian Institution, or simply the Smithsonian,
is a group of museums and education and
research centers, the largest such complex in the world,
created by the U.S. Government "for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge".Founded on August 10, 1846, it
operates as a trust instrumentality and is not formally a
part of any of the three branches of the federal
government. The institution is named after its founding
donor, British scientist James Smithson.It was
originally organized as the United States National
Museum, but that name ceased to exist
administratively in 1967.

•Apollo 11 Command Module

The Apollo 11 Command

Module, "Columbia," was the
living quarters for the three-
person crew during most of
the first crewed lunar
landing mission in July
1969. On July 16, 1969, Neil
Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz"
Aldrin and Michael Collins
were launched from Cape
Kennedy atop a Saturn V

 Pressure Suit, Advanced Extravehicular
Suit, B1-A
This suit was manufactured by Litton Industries,
which made a series of Advanced Extra-
Vehicular Suits (AES) during the early 1960s that
were of a constant volume whether pressurized
or unpressurized.These experimental suits were
designed to maintain an almost perfectly
constant volume while enabling a full range of
body motions. They could operate at higher
pressure, thus reducing the time-consuming
oxygen pre-breathing period before extra
vehicular activities.

with thin brown stripes.
