In the 1960s the Russians had a secret program to land a cosmonaut on the moon. Problems with project and the subsequent success of the American Apollo program resulted in abandonment of the Russian Program. This series of renderings examines what might have been. The cosmonaut attaches his samples case to his back pack, leaves the LK cabin and makes his way along the handrails to the orbital compartment of the LOK. He has a pair of safety cables that he fixes alternately to the rails for security. Unlike the Apollo spacecraft, there was no internal hatchway between the LOK orbiter and the LK lander. The cosmonaut had to make the transfer externally. Although the available documentation is spares, some illustrations show or hint at a system of rails that the cosmonaut could use as handholds as he made his way from one spacecraft to the other. These could also serve as tracks that a cable harness could slide along. Photos of the Krechet spacesuit show cables with easy-connect/disconnect clips. My images shows two so that one is always connected when traversing discontinuities in the rails. The lander is my LK figure and the LOK is the Soyuz 7K freebie. The cosmonaut is M4, wearing a modified version of the DAZ M3 Spacesuit and the collection case is from 3-d-c's SciFi Smartprops 2. The cables are from Industrial Pneumatic Tools from DAZ with a clasp from a cable by Max Grueter. The moon is a NASA photo. The star background is from DAZ's Easy Environments: Earth. The scene was composed and rendered in Poser 11 and composited in Corel Photo Paint.
