Neil Armstrong's Spacesuit recently underwent an extensive conservation process funded
by thousands of public donations through a Kickstarter campaign in 2015.
A state-of-the-art display case and mannequin were created to help protect
the fragile suit while on display. This virtual reality 3D scan reduces the wear
and tear of displaying such a fragile object to the public.
