Soviet and Russian Spacesuit

Made from Strizh Spacesuit

Strizh is a space suit that was originally developed for the crew of the Russian Buran space shuttle and resembled the Sokol space suit worn by Soyuz crew members. It was designed to protect cosmonauts during a possible ejection from the spacecraft at altitudes of up to 30 km and speeds of up to Mach 3; the Buran was designed to incorporate ejection seats similar to those found on the Space Shuttles Enterprise and Columbia (the latter later having the seats removed after the STS-4 mission).
