Russian cosmonaut wearing a Strizh space suit
Spacesuit. Russian cosmonaut wears a Strizh (" swift" ) spacesuit which is worn during launch and re-entry. It protects the cosmonaut if the spaceship is partially depressurised, if the cosmonaut ejects from the spacecraft, and when the spacecraft flies at over three times the speed of sound. The suit does not protect against a complete depressurisation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Russian cosmonaut donning the remarkable Strizh space suit, designed to ensure their safety during both launch and re-entry. The Strizh, meaning "swift" in Russian, serves as a crucial protective layer for cosmonauts in various scenarios. Crafted specifically to withstand partial depressurization of the spacecraft, this advanced spacesuit shields the wearer from potential dangers that may arise during such instances. Additionally, it provides vital protection when a cosmonaut needs to eject from the spaceship or when traveling at extraordinary speeds exceeding three times the speed of sound. While its primary purpose lies in safeguarding against these specific hazards, it's important to note that complete depressurization is not within its capabilities. Nevertheless, this innovative creation by the Russian space program plays an integral role in ensuring manned spaceflight missions are conducted with utmost security and reliability. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Russia's rich history and expertise in space exploration. It symbolizes their commitment towards advancing human knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries while emphasizing their dedication to astronaut safety. As we admire this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's ceaseless curiosity and relentless pursuit of understanding our universe.
