Three Russian cosmonauts sent social media over the moon when they boarded the International Space Station on Friday dressed in yellow suits with blue accents, the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
The cosmonauts, whose uniforms were emblazoned with Russian flags, have not said the space fashion choice was meant as a nod to Ukraine, and several sources, including the press service of Russia's space agency, suggested the colors were intended to send a different signal.
It is actually plausible that the 'Ukrainian' color flight suits are in fact"Bauman University" color suits. They made a big deal of this being the first all-Bauman crew. https://t.co/9yPLgwtYHvBut Eric Berger, a senior space editor at Ars Technica, pointed out that the yellow tone on the Bauman logo was not a close match with the yellow on their flight suits. Berger tweeted that he has not seen a definitive explanation for the suit choice.
"It became our turn to pick a color. But in fact, we had accumulated a lot of yellow material, so we needed to use it," Artemyev told his family when asked, according to the Associated Press."So that's why we had to wear yellow."
