Krechet is the Soviet spacesuit, manufactured in 1966-1972. It was designed by the manufacturing facility Zvezda for use on the lunar surface. It consisted of flexible limbs attached to a one-piece rigid body with helmet unit. The suit was entered through a hatch in the rear of the torso. The exterior of the hatch housed the life support equipment. Maximum operation time was 10 hours. The cosmonaut entered the suit by swinging open a hatch in the hard abdomen of the suit at the rear. The backpack containing the life support system was integrated with the hatch. The gold-coated outer visor of the helmet reflected ultra-violet radiation.
