Another great training day in the Orlan today with Sasha. We repeated Wednesday’s tasks and of course, after having already seen the profile once, we were much more efficient. We also optimized the tool setup, which helped a lot.
In the picture, taken just after the crane got me out of the water at the end of the run, you can see a peculiarity of the water version of the Orlan. If there was ever a problem with the air supply from the surface, flipping that white lever would switch to the emergency air bottles located in the backup.
The other peculiarity is of course that the front control panel and the computer are missing in the Hydrolab version. The only thing remaining is the analogue pressure gauge (the gray cylindric box), which of course comes in handy in the water as well.
In Orlan suit.
