MOSCOW, July 12 Sokol KV-2 rescue suit, in which actress Yulia Peresild flew to the International Space station, appeared on a single portal of products and components of the rocket and space industry on the Glavkosmos website.
«We offer to purchase: the Sokol KV-2 spacesuit, made specifically for a member of the Soyuz MS-19 prime crew, actress Yulia Peresild, to shoot a feature film on board the ISS as part of the Challenge science and education project,» the announcement page says.
The cost is not specified, but you can leave a request on the site. It is noted that the suit was used in space. The condition of the item is rated as perfect. It can be used as a museum exhibit or for a private collection, as well as a prop for filming films or advertising, according to Glavkosmos.
The Sokol suits, together with the ship's on-board systems, are needed to ensure the life and working capacity of a space flight participant in the event of a depressurization of the descent vehicle at the most dangerous stages of the flight — during launch and docking, undocking and descent. The spacesuit set, which includes a helmet, headset, gloves and starting boots, weighs approximately 10.5 kilograms. «Radio communication is carried out through a headset equipped with headphones and two microphones. Pressurization of the spacesuit, breathing and ventilation of the astronaut in a depressurized object is provided by supplying oxygen (or gas composed of 40% oxygen and 60% nitrogen) into the helmet,» the announcement says.
A spacesuit made for Peresild's understudy Alena Mordovina can also be purchased.
