[FPSPACE] Almaz Capsule Internal Structure

[Kosmos327 at aol.com]

Hi Folks,

I'm mapping out the internal structure of the 11F74 Almaz  (misnomer
"Merkur") capsule manned portion . There are four primary  beam-column
style "stringers" that run the full length of the Almaz capsule  with
an additional three "stringers" in the pressurized section. There is  a
secondary structure attached to these stringers which are used  to
support seats and equipment in this part of the capsule. This is  the
structure I'm mapping.

An low resolution example of these  stringers and some of the secondary
structuring was illustrated in  "Assessment of the Almaz Capsule"
written by Dr. Jamie Floyd and can be seen  here:

capsule on the end, seen here ...

seems to be  the capsule from which the first image was captured.

Does anyone in this  group have any clearer images from the interior of
this NPO Mash Almaz  capsule that they would be willing to share
privately?

Thanks in  advance!

Best Regards,

David L.  Rickman
