Russian Orlan EVA Glove and Mirror

On April 4, 2000 Sergei Viktorovich Zalyotin launched aboard Soyuz TM-30 to make the final flight to the Russian MIR space station. Zalyotin, along with fellow cosmonaut Aleksandr Yuriyevich Kaleri, would make the last flight to MIR before it would be deorbited. Each cosmonaut brings flight spares of both gloves and mirrors used during EVA's. The Orlan glove pictured here is a non-flown flight spare. The mirror flew aboard Soyuz TM-30 and was an EVA spare. Additional pictures show Zalyotin holding the mirror after signing it. Also pictured is the official Soyuz TM-30 flight patch worn by the cosmonauts.
