A recent story in AWST said that Russia is considering putting student space experiments in an Orlan space suit and then launching the suit from ISS - to be recovered later !Phill

Is "Orlan" the Brit way of spelling "Orlon"? And will they be using student experiments or student experimentors?

Don't know about a British spelling, but Orlan is the more common spelling at NASA.gov------------------

Luckily for the students - its not them :-)[Mainly because suit will be outside many many hours - beyond air supply! ] Its experiments only. Always been Orlan as far as I remember.
