The Launch Entry Suit (LES), known as the "pumpkin suit", is a partial-pressure suit that was worn by all Space Shuttle crews for the ascent and entry portions of flight from STS-26 (1988) to STS-65 (1994). It was completely phased out by STS-88 (late 1998)[1][2] and replaced by the ACES suit. The suit was manufactured by the David Clark Company of Worcester, Massachusetts.
