Each type of target was supplied as a panel 10.4 cm (4") square, made up of several thin layers of material, as shown mounted in the target chamber of the light gas gun.

Three types of target samples were tested: Basic Suit Layup samples, Glove Finger Layup samples, and Glove Gauntlet/Thermal Meteoroid Garment (TMG) Overlap Layup samples. The last category will also be referred to as "Glove Gauntlet Layups" or "Glove Overlap Layups". They represent the area of a space suit where the gauntlet portion of the suit overlaps the material in the arm. Each type of target was supplied as a panel 10.4 cm (4") square, made up of several thin layers of material, as shown mounted in the target chamber of the light gas gun at right.
