Soviet Test Pilot Gennady Mikhailov

Original caption:11/1/1959-Moscow- Soviet test pilot Gennady Mikhailov, wearing a pressure suit, prepares for a simulated high altitude flight during tests carried out in Moscow. During the test, the pilot's physiological reactions were carefully observed to determine the effects of flight into the upper regions of the earth's atmosphere. The Russians are currently trying to develop a way to rocket a man into spac and bring him back to earth alive. (Photo & basic caption material from a Soviet source.)
