Legs of Russian cosmonaut froze in American space-suit
During going out to open space on Monday Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev had to regulate thermal climate in space-suit.
When crew of 12 expedition to International Space Station (ISS) worked outside of station, Tokarev complained that his legs are cold.
Experts on Earth advised cosmonaut to regulate "warm-cold" handle. Specialist of NASA Charles Goff stressed that "space-suits worked without problems".
It should be mentioned that for last 2.5 years crew of ISS went in open space in American space-suits. Before that cosmonauts worked in Russian ones.
As a reminder, entry to open space was delayed for an hour because pressure in lock-chamber didn`t fall to appropriate level and Russian cosmonaut couldn`t find emergency valve on time because it was his first going spaceward.
