Up And Over

Up And Over

The Soyuz capsule, with three cosmonauts inside, is lifted off the deck of the ship and lowered onto the Black Sea for an emergency evacuation drill. One of the portholes is clearly visible, as is the container where the main parachute is kept, which would have deployed by the time we landed. This is a real Soyuz capsule, slightly modified for the sea survival training.
