  1. The image shows four astronauts in bright orange space suits posing for a formal group portrait against a dark background. The suits are bulky with blue joints, straps and pockets, emphasising their technical design. Three astronauts stand behind while one is seated or crouching in front, all facing the camera. Their faces are blurred into smooth ovals so no expressions can be seen, keeping the focus on the uniforms. Mission-style patches and flags, including US and Canadian flags, are visible on their arms and chests. Soft, focused lighting makes the vivid orange suits stand out dramatically.

  22. Four astronauts pose together in front of a softly lit dark‑blue studio backdrop. All wear matching blue flight suits covered in mission patches and agency logos on their chests and sleeves. Two astronauts stand at the back, while the other two sit on tall stools at the front, so their bodies form a loose diamond shape. Their faces have been blurred into smooth ovals, so no expressions or eye direction are visible. The standing astronaut on the left has short hair and a patch with Cyrillic lettering; the one on the right has a JAXA logo. Of the seated pair, one appears centrally, leaning slightly forward with hands clasped, while the other sits side‑on at the right, with one leg crossed over the other and an American flag patch on the upper arm
