Some photos of Vostok, YMK (MMU) and Orlan space suits

The Mir Manned Maneuvering Unit (YMK) was only tested a few times before being rejected in favor of the Sterla crane. It is currently strapped to the outside of the Kvant-2 airlock.

 

 

The Mir Orlan spacesuit is donned by climbing into it from the rear hatch. A lever on the chest closes the hatch. These suits are used for water tank training. A Kvant module mockup is behind the technicians.
