The Smithsonian’s first-ever Kickstarter campaign, aims to conserve, digitize, and display Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 suit by using state-of-the-art techniques in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, chemical analysis, CT scanning and other means available. Lisa Young, conservator at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, joins Click to explain how she will be scanning the twenty-one layers of Armstrong’s spacesuit, enabling the public to explore the functions of each of the suit’s twenty-one layers and even make 3D prints of Armstrong’s gloves.
