MS Thomas wears a Sokol spacesuit on the Mir Space Station

S89-E-5216 (25 Jan 1998) --- This is the second of a series of three photos onboard Russia's Mir Space Station showing Andrew S. W. Thomas following the donning of the Sokol spacesuit of David A. Wolf, who has been onboard Mir since September 1997. An earlier fit check of Thomas' Sokol suit did not initially meet specifications required in the event he has to spend time in the pressurized Soyuz spacecraft, now docked to Mir. After Thomas was checked out in Wolf's suit, sizing modifications were made to his own suit and it was then verified for use by Thomas in the event of a contingency. The image was taken with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC) at 17:59:00 GMT, January 25, 1998.
