In Russia, seats were made for the first astronauts from the UAE

Russian NPP Zvezda manufactured chairs for the first emirate astronauts.

Dubai, UAE. The Russian NPP Zvezda made chairs for the first emirate cosmonauts - Khazza Al Mansuri and Sultan Al Neiyadi. One of them will be installed in the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft, on which the first emirate astronaut will leave for the ISS on September 25.

The video shows how individual measurements are taken from astronauts and put them in special minivans, a plaster print of which will serve as a model for space seats: in them astronauts can comfortably and safely fit in the necessary poses. Also custom-made will be sewn and spacesuits for both cosmonauts "Falcon".

As previously reported, the main contender for the flight to the ISS was Hazza Al Mansouri, Sultan Al Neyyadi remains his understudy. The first emirate astronaut will go into orbit on the Soyuz-MS 15 spacecraft from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on September 25 and will return to Earth in 8 days aboard the Soyuz-12.
