Borrowing from window-washer technology, they fitted him with two harnesses that could be hooked to rings strategically placed around the spacecraft.

When Aldrin slapped his handholds against patches of Velcro plastered on the skin of both Gemini and Agena, they stuck until he pulled them free, providing additional anchors...
