Honored as an inductee of the U.S. Space Foundation’s Space Technology Hall of Fame and recognized by the American Astronautical Society as “one of the true fathers of the space suit,” Bill Elkins spent years conducting extensive research on clothing technology for hostile environments while he served as a NASA contractor at Ames Research Centre. During the Apollo era, Elkins assisted Ames investigators in the development of a liquid-cooled garment to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures on the Moon.
