Scanning helmet for "Leonov". Yes, this is not the helmet you first thought of.
Cosmic 3D scanning
That is very important to reconstruct an authentic copy of the cosmic outfit of Alexey Leonov for the spacewalk episode of the movie “The time of pioneers (trailbreakers, pathfinders)” – a spacesuit with all its minute particulars. In order to achieve the max precision while practically making the spacesuit the film creators have to dispose a very detailed information. We decided to scan the stuff we needed and visited the museum of the scientific-production enterprise “Zvezda” where the original spacesuit of Alexey A. Leonov was worked out and is still stored.
