Famous Hammocks in Space
Hammock Space Facts
Hammocks for the Moon
The Apollo 11 astronauts had to spend their rest periods on the lunar module floor!
Based on the experience of Neil Armstrong and company, hammocks were designed to attach to the interior of the Lunar Module for Apollo 12 and on. Hammocks where the first beds on the moon.
Made of beta cloth and adjustable with straps, the hammocks helped reduce the cooling effects of contact with the cabin floor as well as a softer support.
