Description
SOVIET & CHINESE SPACE PROGRAMS
Original Soviet Orlan D Spacesuit. A vintage Soviet
spacesuit manufactured by NPP Zvezda that was designed specifically
for EVA activity. The suit is comprised of an aluminium torso and
backpack with nylon arms and legs. Multiple serial numbered
connections and mounted equipment can be observed throughout the
suit. The fiberglass helmet and visor are permanently affixed to
the torso. There is a large latch on the backpack that would allow
the cosmonaut to enter the suit. The torso is typically covered by
a white cover that is not present with this example. First used in
1977, the Orlan D was designed for long-duration spacewalks outside
spacecraft. Following its successful use, the Orlan was primarily
used for extravehicular activities on Salyut and Mir space
stations, as well as during the early years of the International
Space Station. The attached backpack was used to provide oxygen,
temperature control, and remove carbon dioxide, allowing cosmonauts
to work in space independently for extended periods. The rear-entry
and semi-rigid design of the Orlan-D influenced the development of
other space suits, including newer Russian models and similar
designs considered for lunar or Martian exploration suits. Age and
use related wear throughout, gloves not present. Overall very good.
