Russia will develop an alternative space suit design for cosmonauts

In 2019, the Zvezda Research and Production Enterprise (RPE), which is developing a spacesuit for

 of the Orel spacecraft, presented a prototype of a flight suit.

This is a very serious enterprise with a glorious history. Then there was a break in cooperation. But there is always an alternative. And we will try to take an active part in the alternative version.

He noted that alternate appearancethe spacesuit will definitely be a Russian product. Such strategic products, according to him, cannot be purchased from Elon Musk or Chinese developers. 

However, he did not specify what kind of company intends to present an alternative look for the spacesuit.

The launch dates for the Orel spacecraft were previously set. The launch without a crew will take place in 2023, and a manned launch is planned for 2025.
