Spaceship Rus astronauts to ditch spacesuits for individual sealed capsules

While spaceship Rus is being prepared for launch, the members of its crew are in for special treatment. The cosmonauts on board the Rus will not have the age old spacesuits to protect them, instead would have the specially made individual sealed capsules that’ll guard them in their maiden journey. These egg-shaped shelters close tightly from the inside with a special airtight zipper to make sure that the user is safe during dangerous stages of a flight. The Russian space agency is certain that the idea is a futuristic one, yet they are still to present their requirements to life support systems of the Russia, to know whether these capsules will see the light of the day or not.
