Full title: Type of decontamination suits to be worn by astronauts. Photo from Nasa shows the type of decontamination suits to be worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts after they land in the Pacific Ocean Thursday. The suits will be given to the astronauts through the spacecraft's hatch, when it is opened for less than 30 seconds. After the astronauts have donned the suits, the hatch will be reopened for five minutes to let them out. The trio will complete the 21- day quarantine, which began on Monday, at a germ-free lunar receiving laboratory at Manned Spacecraft Center.
