I wrote a thread, explaining the construction of the Kazbek-UM seat, used in Soyuz-MS ships. Should I copy it here? https://twitter.com/katlinegrey/status/1631401158295134214

I feel that I need to explain a little about the seats in Soyuz ship, and why they move it from one ship to another. Actually, it’s simple. Look at this picture, it is a Kazbek-UM seat, used in Soyuz ships. It consists of a universal cushioning chair and…
This is the cushioning chair. It’s universal, so any crew member can use it. But it cannot be used without a special individually made bed, or lodgement. And this is a lodgement. To create it, the specialists of JSC NPP Zvezda measure all the parameters of the cosmonaut's body, and then make a plaster impression of the body shape. To do this, the cosmonaut is immersed in a special bath filled with plaster.
The bed is filled in 2 stages. First, the upper part of the body, imprinting the head, neck and thoracic spine. Then the lower back and coccyx are imprinted. At the same time, gaps are required to change the growth, because in space, a person's spine stretches. The final fitting is in a spacesuit. Even the prints of the folds of space clothing are important. When returning from orbit, the cosmonaut will have to lie in this position for several hours. After that, an individual polyurethane bed is made on the basis of the gypsum version.
The ISS performed a space debris avoidance maneuver half an hour ago. At 12:42 UTC, the engines of #ProgressMS22 burned for 375,8 seconds, the station’s orbit altitude has been changed to 418,59 km above the Earth.
Roscosmos published a new trailer of #TheChallenge movie which was partly filmed on the ISS. The release date was changed to April 20 (previously, they planned to release it on April 12). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuMGx7wBTh8

#ProtonM with Briz-M upper stage and Luch-5X satellite has been rolled out on March 9 on Baikonur. The launch is scheduled for March 12, 23:13 UTC. The rollout wasn’t announced by Roscosmos, because it’s a military satellite. The launch won’t be probably streamed too.
Roscosmos shared first images taken by #ElektroL №4 satellite, launched on February 5 this year.

On 11:54 UTC today, the ISS performed another space debris avoidance maneuver. #ProgressMS22 engines fired for 135 sec with an impulse 0.3 m/s. The station's orbit altitude was increased up to 419 km above the Earth.
Anton Shkaplerov @Anton_Astrey, Russian cosmonaut, veteran of four spaceflights, has finished his cosmonaut career. He will continue to work at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center.
