Cosmonautics. "Polar bear" will save you from the cold (2016)

November turned out to be cold on Baikonur, so the crew of the Soyuz MS-03 manned spacecraft decided to wear special heat-protective suits, which were informally called "Polar Bear" before the launch.

The suits are made at the Zvezda NPP near Moscow, where the Falcon and Orlan spacesuits, cosmonaut lodgements and much more are created.

Alexander Yemelyanov, engineer of NPP Zvezda, and Gennady Glazov, chief Specialist, told about the device of the Polar Bear and its protective properties.
