maxuta_id=\"034150\" RUSSIAN COSMONAUT\'S SLEEPING BAG FOR USE ABOARD ISS

The item up for sale here is the sleeping bag designed and intended for Russian cosmonauts to use it aboard International Space Station.It serves as a convenient place for an overnight stay or a short rest for a cosmonaut in his personal cabin (more known as \"pencil case\") or in any other place where the sleeping bag can be fixed without interfering with the work of the rest of the crew members and space station systems.

Loops are sewn around the perimeter of the sleeping bag to get it fastened in different places of the space station, including uninhabited modules. It contains a personal hygienic liner made of cotton fabric, replaceable at regular intervals or as it gets dirty, like bed linen. The sleeping bag has a hood to protect cosmonaut\'s head from the direct air flows made by the fans at the station. However, cosmonauts often sleep without a hood, using wool caps, as the hood also traps the exhaled carbon dioxide around the cosmonaut\'s head. The sleeping bag fastens with a zipper, keeping the cosmonaut\'s body during sleep from falling out and moving freely in zero gravity. There are several zippered pockets and the logo of its manufacturer NPP \"Zvezda\" in front of the sleeping bag.

Cosmonauts usually choose places for rest in which they can calmly seclude themselves. Usually such a place is the cosmonaut\'s cabin - a vertical \"pencil case\", about two meters high, with a curtain instead of one of the walls, in which the sleeping bag is fixed \"vertically\", with your feet towards the conditional floor. In addition to the cabin, cosmonauts can choose for sleeping places near the fans to avoid breathing their own exhaled carbon dioxide, which is poorly distributed throughout all the capacity of the space station in zero gravity. In addition to sleeping bag, personal belongings are usually fixed at the resting place: a comb, mirror, razor, notebook, pens, a voice recorder, a portion of juice. Three over-tightening belts are attached to the loops located along the perimeter of the sleeping bag to fix cosmonaut\'s body and create the feeling of \"resting on the bed.\" Placing a cosmonaut in a sleeping bag should exclude the free movement of hands in space, since relaxed hands can touch the elements of the space station, the body and face of the cosmonaut, and thus interfere with sleep. At the same time, in the event of emergency alarm being triggered, the cosmonaut must quickly get out of the sleeping bag.

The sleeping bag has on its front the patch with the logo of NPP Zvezda - the manufacturer of spacesuits and life support systems for Russian cosmonauts.

The sleeping bag comes with 3 cotton individual hygienic liners, as a complete set.
