Exam on the manual mooring of the ship “Soyuz MS” on a specialized simulator “Don Soyuz” passed the commander of the main crew of EP-20 Alexander Misurnkin and his Double Alexander Skvortsov.
In the process of examination training, the astronauts were performed three modes of moisture. When the ship approaches the space station, an abnormal situation can occur. On the exam, it is necessary to recognize that it may prevent the adsion, and demonstrate the Commission an actions algorithm to solve the problem.
Roscosmos Cosmonauts Alexander Misurnkin and his Dubler Alexander Skvortsov carried out tasks in turn, without the help of the flight guards due to the lack of those in their crews. Recall that in December, participants of the space flight from Japan Yusaka Maizawa and Jozo Hirano should go to the International Space Station as tourists. The commander of the ship “Union MS-20” will independently control the spacecraft.
You won’t call this situation. The crew commander of the ISS-66 Anton of the cabinarians, which is now on the ISS, before the flight also handed over the exam on manual mooring alone, as well as his doubleler Oleg Artemyev. Permanent exhausting of such skills allows cosmonauts to clearly and confidently act in abnormal situations.
So, for example, on October 5, 2021, Anton Savage was handed to manually sticking the ship “Union MS-19” with a station. Together with him on board were the participants of the space flight Klim Shipenko and Julia Peresilde. The dock went successfully. The Calling Group of the “Call” project fulfilled the task to the ISS in front of it and returned safely to Earth together with the astronaut Roscosmos Oleg Novitsky. Anton Sluffers continues to work in orbit.
The participants of the 20th expedition visit should stay at the station 12 days and return to Earth in the same part. Next week, Alexander Misurnkin and Alexander Skvortsov will unite with its crews and will continue to pass exams. The start of the ship “Union MS-20” is scheduled for December 8, 2021 from the Baikonur cosmodrome.
