Evgeniy Chertanovskiy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evgeniy Chertanovskiy was a Soviet (Russian) inventor who, in 1931, invented his first full-pressure suit, called CH-1. In the following years he created similar pressure suits, called skafanders (from the Greek words skaf - boat,ship and andros - man), from CH-2 to CH-7 models. Skafander has since become the term used by Russians to refer to standard diving dresses or space suits.
