Soyuz-FG launched a new ISS crew into space

As the RIA News, at Baikonur from the Gagarinsky launch, the launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with the Soyuz MC-06 manned spacecraft and the new crew of the ISS-53 / 54, designed to work on the International Space Station, took place.

Soon the Union MC-06 separated from the third stage and docked with the ISS. Alexander Misurkin (commander of the ship, Roscosmos) and astronauts Mark Vande Hi and Joseph Akaba (flight engineers, NASA) went on board. The new crew will have to conduct more 40 experiments in the field of space biology and biotechnology, physical and chemical processes, etc.

Until the end of this year, there are no open space exits under the Russian program from the ISS, the first non-shipping activity is expected in January 2018. From April 2017, the work on board the ISS should be carried out instead of three members of the Russian crew of two. In a reduced number of cosmonauts will act before the introduction of a new multi-purpose laboratory module (MLM) "Science" in the Russian segment of the station.

The old ... good Soviet legacy brings astronauts to the ISS for more than a year ... BALCONS oh how far to that.

Taxi again ... It's a shame already.

far to what "this"?
become a Soviet legacy?

Finally turned into a cabman, instead of after everything that the USA does
and Europe, stop all cooperation with them in our still high-tech
industry, it seems Roscosmos is also going to build a new module in this "constructor".

Their Orion was supposed to start a year ago, and things are still there. Therefore, we slow down the Americans and for this we also earn money

[Blackmokona]

Orion has already flown into space

The first unmanned test flight (EFT-1) took place on December 5, 2014, and it used the Delta IV Heavy booster rocket [6].

And Orion is not intended for flights to the ISS, it is for the Moon and Mars.
Dragon 2 and other ships will fly on the ISS.

[slipped]

A payload layout flew into space, Orion has not yet done

[Blackmokona]

Orion flew into space, the Delta Heavy serial spent rocket. No need to test her

[slipped]

you have the wrong information, what they called Orion - it was just a blank with a fairly primitive SU, the tests were mainly carried out by the thermal protection of the VA.

[slipped]

here is a photo of the "interior" this layout

[Mavrikiy]

Definitely (-). "They draw us figvam", and we transfer this color blind across the road to the green light?

[Herculesic]

We need our own orbital station! We must remember who was the first in space!

There is not enough money for this ... it is expensive and must pay off ... there are a few more nuances that impede this noble cause.

[Herculesic]

Take our thief on genetics - enough money to completely rebuild the country from scratch! !!

[Topotun]

The question is - why? What are we going to do at OUR orbital station? What tasks will she solve? The price of the question, as I understand it, is not just wow, but wow! Our module on the ISS meets the necessary tasks. Does it make sense to invest? It’s like flying to the moon. Well flew so what? Soklko it was swollen funds? Wow! Prestige? Or maybe you should not chase prestige? Maybe you should just calmly do your own thing? Need a station - build. Not the first time.

[Firework]

well done guys they are closest to god

[K-50]

Successful work and safe return !!!

[XXXIII]

Have you ordered a taxi to the ISS ?! It's time there to build the whole world a space orbital metropolis!

[Alexandr2637]

and astronauts Mark Wande Hai and Joseph Aqaba (flight engineers, NASA)

Well, when will counter-sanctions be taken? When will the filthy Yankees be thrown out from the ISS?

[Blackmokona]

Given that most of the station and financing belong to them, and there is a LSS in the freight Dragon, how do you imagine this?

[slipped]

yes there’s just something - to undock the "Star" and they themselves will fly away from there)

[Blackmokona]

What a fright? All LSS and other systems are duplicated, without any one module the station will continue to work without difficulty

[slipped]

And with this - on the "Star" engines

[Blackmokona]

At dawn, the engines, and Zarya, although produced by us, belongs to the United States.

Zarya is the Zarya functional cargo module, the first of the ISS modules delivered to orbit. Module weight - 20 tons, length - 12,6 m, diameter - 4 m, volume - 80 m³. Equipped with jet engines to correct the orbit of the station and large solar panels.

Functional-cargo block "Zarya" (index: 77KM, production number 17501) - module of the International Space Station manufactured in Russia under a contract with Boeing. It belongs to the ISS Russian segment, but is considered to be the American block of the station. The first module of the station launched into space [1].

[slipped]

Here's another answer for you .... At Dawn, engines for Dawn only - is that clear? For a pair of its maneuvers in orbit offline, there is a reserve - a couple more maneuvers. While she was in conjunction with Unity, she was also called the “station”. Hence your first post. Now the Dawn engines and batteries are not used, and indeed all the warranty periods for this iron have ended. For the ISS, the remote control on the Star is generally used. It is these engines that are turned on to correct the flight of the station when changing its orbit before the docking and landing of the Soyuz, as well as to avoid space debris. If you undock the "Star", then the station, uncontrollably, will go out of orbit within two months.

[Blackmokona]

Well, they will twist through the Dragon, what trouble is that?

[slipped]

The trouble is in your technical illiteracy. Read the ISS user manual or something. The dragon is too weak for such a mass.

[Blackmokona]

Ie Dragon who carries more cargo to the ISS than the Union can not? Ha ha

[slipped]

And what does the "Union" have to do with it? Soyuz does not correct the flight of the station — it brings the crew and saves, and Progress does not correct the flight of the station — it brings one and a half tons of water and hydrazine for the Zvezda module remote control, as well as 800 kg of dry cargo, this is enough for 3 months of flight . Although sometimes "Progress" engines can be used to correct the station's roll over the roll. The station is brought to a higher orbit only with the engines of the Zvezda module from the Moscow MCC.

You can shove 3.3 tons of fuel into the Dragon, and then cut its engines and adjust the flight.

[slipped]

It’s impossible, “Dragon” - 18 engines with a total thrust of 40,7 kgf, “Star” - 2 engines of 312 kgf each, is that clear?
