Oleg Novitsky gifted space rarities to the aviation museum
19 Aug 2017

On Air Force Day Oleg Novitsky handed over priceless exhibits to Nikolai Mochansky, head of DOSAAF’s Minsk flying club and the creator of the aviation technology museum. Now the Cosmos pavilion will feature Oleg Novitsky’s contour seat (designed to match individual parameters of the cosmonaut and fit for launch, orbit insertion, and landing operations), a Kazakh bathrobe (a customary present after landing), a centaur costume (designed to properly distribute liquids inside a human body), and personal effects, which have been to outer space.
