Krechet-94. The russian suit that was going to be used to walk on the moon
What is interesting about this suit is that, if the Cosmonaut fell on the moon, he would not be able to get up because of its bulkiness. And since the LK lander would have allowed only a single individual to land on the surface, this could pose a particularly deadly problem. To solve it, the Soviets designed a structure very similar to what is seem here that the Cosmonaut would “wear” around him. In the event he did fall over, he simply had to roll himself over to hoist himself up again, similar to how a turtle is self-righting.
