Title: Mars-500 spacesuit
Post by: Suzy on 05/07/2009 09:15 am

I was looking through the IMBP Mars-500 photo gallery and came across this one (http://mars500.imbp.ru/gallery/520_spacesuit_test/520_spacesuit_test.html) of a modified Orlan spacesuit the participants will wear on the "surface". Is this what a real Russian Mars spacesuit might look like?

Novosti-kosmonavtiki mentioned something about that:

"По просьбе Института медико-биологических проблем, на территории которого пройдет эксперимент, мы сделали два облегченных скафандра на базе скафандров для работы в открытом космосе "Орлан", - сказал "Интерфаксу-АВН" гендиректор и главный конструктор Научно-производственного предприятия "Звезда" Сергей Поздняков.

It says that they made two suits on the basis of the regular EVA suit "Orlan"
