Second day of examination comprehensive trainers of EP-20 crews

In the center of the training of astronauts continues examination comprehensive training. Kosmonaut Roscosmos Alexander Misurnkin and the participants of the space flight Yusaka Maesava and Jozo Hirano began testing the simulator of the transport piloted ship “Union”.

First stage The main crew of the EP-20 visiting expedition spent on the Russian segment of the International Space Station. During the exam, a malfunction of an assessing and sanitary device was detected. In addition, the crew faced an emergency – an inflicted fire in the module of the Russian segment of the ISS.

Recall that astronauts will learn about abnormal and emergency situations that have to be overcome only during the exam. It is not known in advance what exactly included in the ticket.

Rating the first day of ECT Alexander Murkin said: “Everything is fine, the result is satisfied. Now we are already at such a stage, when the crew is cohesive and works alright. We all work.” For the successful implementation of all tasks, the examiners received a “five”.

The actions of the duplicating crew EP-20 were also highly appreciated by the examination committee. Yesterday they had to solve a number of problems with “flight” on the ship “Union”. The following situations were in the ticket: leakage of oxygen highways, which led to the transition to manual oxygen supply control; failure of the onboard computing system; The sensor failure at the TPK docking stage with the station. When preparing the ship to the “descent” on the Earth there was a depressurization of the low pressure pipe of the motor installation pneumatic system, the false response of the pressure regulator in the descent apparatus and refusing the ship separation program to the compartments. As part of work on the TPK simulator “Union” “Flight” was translated from a 4-twist diagram of rapprochement on 2 daily.

Today, Alexander Skvortsov and Schun Ogiso continued to work on the simulator of the Russian segment of the International Space Station. At the end of the KET, training will be carried out on which members of the examination commission will appreciate the work of the crews.
