1991 · Soviet Rescue Pressure Suit · Work 1271 of 1,871
A windowless suiting room at a launch site in Kazakhstan on a May morning, pale green walls, fluorescent tubes, on a grey padded couch a white cloth pressure suit, many blue cords running over its shoulders, arms and legs, a fixed hood with a domed clear visor in a blue metal ring, the visor raised open, two zips down the front and a round blue pressure valve, blue anodised rings at the wrists, black rubber gloves slightly curled, a grey hose with a small plain red cloth tag, the chest and sleeves plain white cloth, a folded white towel on a stool, a technician's hand in a white sleeve smoothing one glove.
