Russian Orlan M spacesuit
Russian spacesuit. A Russian Orlan M spacesuit seen held in a special display rig (red). This was the standard Russian spacesuit from 1988-2009. The Orlan range of suits are known for being easy to put on, access being through a hinged backpack that contains the life support equipment. The M version is being replaced by the MK version that features improved biosensors and telemetry, enabling the health of the cosmonaut to be monitored more effectively during space walks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Russian Orlan M spacesuit, a symbol of security and safety for cosmonauts venturing into the vastness of space. The suit is delicately held in a special display rig, its vibrant red color contrasting against the backdrop. From 1988 to 2009, this remarkable piece of engineering served as the standard Russian spacesuit. Renowned for their user-friendly design, Orlan suits revolutionized space exploration by simplifying the process of suiting up. Accessible through a hinged backpack that houses life support equipment, these suits ensured ease and efficiency during critical missions beyond Earth's atmosphere. However, progress never ceases in the realm of space technology. As time progresses, so does innovation. The MK version has emerged as an upgrade to its predecessor - equipped with enhanced biosensors and telemetry systems that enable more effective monitoring of cosmonaut health during exhilarating spacewalks. In this image lies not only a testament to human ingenuity but also a reminder of our relentless pursuit for comfort and survival amidst inhospitable environments. It represents Russia's commitment to astronaut well-being while embarking on extraordinary journeys through outer space. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph encapsulates both history and future aspirations within its frame – an emblematic tribute to mankind's unwavering determination to conquer new frontiers beyond our home planet.
