The Soyuz-FG launch vehicle successfully launched a ship with crew into orbit

45
The first launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft, which will deliver the next crew to the International Space Station (ISS), was made from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

The Soyuz-FG launch vehicle successfully launched a ship with crew into orbit




Initially, the launch was planned for December 20, but due to the 11 incident of October of this year, a new crew did not arrive on the ISS, and the return of the old crew is scheduled before December 20. Thus, the station for some time would be without crew and observation. As a result, it was decided to shift the date of the next launch. The crew went into orbit with three people: the crew commander is a Russian, Oleg Kononenko, a Canadian, David Saint-Jacques, and an American, Anne Charlotte McClain. The new crew will spend the day on orbit 194.

During the flight to orbit, all the blocks worked out normally, the side blocks successfully separated from the central one. After going into orbit, the Soyuz-MS-11 manned spacecraft headed for the international station. The docking of the ship with the station is scheduled for today, according to plans it will happen in 20: 36 Moscow time. of time.

    Well, but you were afraid that Russia could not launch rockets successfully.

      Ha! Again a foreign feminist was taken with them in a carriage! Apparently, without female hysteria from foreigners, male astronauts in orbit are bored!
      God forbid that the new foreign cosmonaut - hysterically from the intolerable human smells by her - also did not pick up the Russian station!

      Successful docking and successful flight!

        I ran through many sites - there is a heart-rending cry of liberals and other enemies of Russia.
        I got the impression that these liberals and others were launched into space from the dill trampoline, and besides, without a spacesuit.
        If these gentlemen squeal like that, then Russia is doing everything right.

        Well, and the crew-chic docking!

            You forgot to mention the sixth column — know that.
            I hope I don’t need to explain to you - what is the difference between the fifth and sixth columns?
            The sixth column is the main existential enemy of Russia

        Well, straight from the tongue! good Imagine - half a year "in orbit", yes in zero gravity, yes in "confined space", but with complete (well, or "almost complete") absence of "booze" ... You can also "run wild" !!! winked
        And so - at least occasional tantrums with "smashing dishes" (although, of course, in zero gravity, this is extremely difficult!) - well, almost "like home" - it seems that it never flew away ... laughing lol

        Against the background of talk about giving birth in space, it is possible that Anne Charlotte MacLaine is being prepared for this "mission" and instead of hysterics the whole world will "enjoy" the birth pangs of the first astronaut in labor on the air. But the United States will finally be able to declare its undeniable primacy in a single issue.

    There is no silver lining. The last unsuccessful launch showed that astronauts can be saved in a rather difficult situation, and this is important psychologically. It’s one thing that you know that, theoretically, you must be saved, and it’s quite another when you see in practice that the chances of salvation are quite high.

    Pancake. There is an emergency rescue system. If it works properly, the crew is saved. If not. - "Everlasting memory". So far, the second time it worked properly. But, this is about the same as a catapult and a parachute on the same fighter. What kind of success can be made of this? It worked normally - and thank God

    As I understand it, there was a planned check of the rescue system and the American reaction to it. Well, there to test diapers or something else.

    And what was the planned check? Everything worked properly, what was checked? Or do the patriots come up with something that was not there? If the current - everything is normal, if the previous launch, then who checked? Everyone was in the same situation. With or without diapers. our cosmonauts or their astronauts were all in an emergency situation, which everyone seems to be waiting for, but no one wants. Do not think that ours rejoiced in this situation, and the Americans tested diapers.

    Yeah. 216 sorties in an OH-58 reconnaissance helicopter with a total duration of 850 hours - it means something. Plus then a school of test pilots. The girl is "pro"

    It happened before. test from scratch, when on September 26, 1983, a few seconds before launch, due to the fire of the launch vehicle, the emergency rescue system of the Soyuz-T10 / 1 spacecraft worked. The descent vehicle with the astronauts landed safely not far from the launch pad ...
