Space suit of Buran cosmonaut
Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, get beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
On Saturday we went to launch rockets at the DairyAire event in the California Central Valley near Fresno. This event is organized by TCC (Tripoli Central California).
A space enthusiast brought along a soviet space suit. This suit was developed for Buran cosmonauts. Buran is the soviet equivalent of the Space Shuttle. The Buran looked nearly identical to the Space Shuttle, made its maiden space flight unmanned, then was scrapped. What a shame.
This space suit was designed to keep cosmonauts pressurized for several hours in case of a sudden loss in pressure inside the spacecraft - it was not designed for spacewalks. The visor on the helmet is double-glassed to prevent fogging in extreme low temperatures.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.
