Spacecraft Seats

I learned from Flight Director Ed that some spacecraft seats are molded to the form of the astronauts and cosmonauts. Cosmonauts are Russian astronauts. Molded seats were used in the Mercury and the Gemini spacecrafts used in the U.S. space program and in the Soyuz spacecrafts used in the Soviet program and in the Russian Federation program to launch to the International Space Station. Molded seats are better for withstanding high G forces and the rigors and vibrations of launch and re entry. Thank you Flight Director Ed for providing this information and checking my blog entry. I remain Capcom Ruth.
