Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Lyakhov wore this flight suit in training for his mission on board the space stations Salyut 7 in 1983 and the Mir in 1988. During space station missions, cosmonauts and astronauts wear comfortable, shirt sleeves clothes that allow them to do meaningful work while inside that station. Lyakhov launched to the Salyut on board Soyuz T-9 on 27 June and returned to Earth in November. His next mission was to Mir in 1988. That mission lasted for about one week.

E. Laverne Johnson donated this glove as part of a collection of Soviet human spaceflight artifacts in honor of her late partner and collector, Mr. Robin John Burrows.
