Would you know the stripe color for each one?
There is tradition of NPP Zvezda. If the serial number has last even digit, then the spacesuit has blue stripes, if last odd digit, then red stripes. So spacesuits #4 and #6 have blue stripes, #5 - red stripes.
Interesting bit of trivia, thanks!

NASA update:
Progress Docks to ISS
A Russian Progress cargo ship arrived at the International Space Station Wednesday, after being delayed by Hurricane Ike. The ISS Progress 30 docked on time at 2:43 p.m. EDT Wednesday, to the aft docking port of the International Space Station's Zvezda Service Module. Docking occurred one week after Progress launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The cargo ship brings more than 2 tons of supplies, including a new shipment of food and fuel, to Station Commander Sergei Volkov and Flight Engineers Oleg Kononenko and Greg Chamitoff.
The next major ISS activity will be ESA's deorbiting of the "Jules Verne" Automated Transfer Vehicle on Sept. 29 followed by a Service Module engine reboost of the station on Oct. 2 to set the stage for the launch of the Expedition 18/Spaceflight Participant crew on Oct. 12.
The Progress docking, originally set for Friday, Sept. 12, was postponed when space station mission control at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston closed due to the approaching storm. The center is recovering and won't reopen until Monday, Sept. 22. The International Space Station continues to be controlled by NASA flight controllers at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

Today's NASA ISS status report says:
Launched on 9/10 (3:50:02pm EDT), the (Progress M-65) cargo vehicle was “standing by” since 9/12, orbiting independently in a holding position to await resumption of adequate NASA ground support after the Hurricane emergency. For remote commanding of Progress, Russia has 12 RGSs (Russian Groundsites) spread west-to-east along northern Russia. They up-command autonomously but are connected to TsUP-Moscow for real-time telemetry & video via fiber optic land lines and the Primyorka geostationary satellite (Molniya sats were not used for 30P).
First time I have heard of the "Primyorka geostationary satellite " and Google doesn't recogise it.
Does anyone have any further info ?
TIA
