Mission
| The Flight Sokols |
Left: Thagard, Dezhurov and Strekalov in their flight Sokols. Right: The Russians were wearing
the RKA-patch on their left chests.
Close-up of Thagard's Sokol suit.
For the first time since Soyuz TM-10, the Mir patch was visible again on the front of the Sokol suits. Probably, in the new Russian-American era, a patch reading "Mir" was more suitable from a public relations point of view.
Thagard was wearing a NASA "meatball" on the left chest of his Sokol. The Sokols of Strekalov and Dezhurov had the new PKA-patch in that spot. It was also worn on the Penguin-suits aboard.

Dezhurov and Strekalov performed five spacewalks (May 12, 17, 22 and 29 and June 2, 1995). They reshuffled solar arrays to make room for the STS-71/Atlantis docking and worked on the docking equipment. Dezhurov's suit (DMA-27) was new and appears to have no patches attached; Strekalov's suit was used before once by Serebrov (EO-14) and twice by Musabayev (EO-16).
