I was hoping to find out how many times the Orlan can be re-used, and how it compares to the US equivalent. If somebody can add this sort of information that would be very useful. Batoom 09:21, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Unlike the American space suits, is very simple to use and does not require maintenance every six months and has a lifespan of approximately five years." The EMU is designed for 25 EVA's and/or maintenance cycle after 6 years. Mingebinge2 (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, "The Orlan has a useful life of 4 years or up to 15 EVAs, limited by its pressure bladder which is made of natural rubber (which deteriorates over time)"Mingebinge2 (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

LEDs were use on the later EVAs with the Orlan-M suit and is used with the Orlan-MK suits.

On Expedition 22 they use only LEDs 22.

On Expedition 17 & 18 they used both the LED lights along with the traditional bulbs. 17 18

On Expedition 15 they used only LEDs 15.

On Expedition 14 and all previous they used two pairs of light systems that both used bulbs. [2] I was wrong LEDs were actually used on the spacewalk.
