Closeup of Orlan spacesuit used
with the LK Eurodisney exhibit. The white thermal protection layer
that would normally have been covering the suit is mysteriously missing.
Note the hard metal sheel of the torso, a design feature that owes it's
existence to the development of the Kretchet
suit that would have been the suit worn by the moon walking cosmonaut.
The figure is holding a tether in the left hand, which is used to attach
crewman working on space stations to the hull of the station, since this
is the only environment in which this suit was designed for.
The bracket which attached the landing leg to the vehicle
is clearly visible to the left of the figure, as is the hammer and sickle
emblem of the now extinct Soviet Union.
