The astronauts received a piece of plating "Union" with a hole from drilling

144
In the course of work in open space, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Sergey Prokopiev investigated the damage site of the plating of the MC-09 Union. Recall that we are talking about the hole, which, as previously established, appeared as a result of drilling. To open the screen-vacuum insulation of the ship, the Russian cosmonauts needed a cutter and special scissors. Micrometeoritic protection of the ship was bent clamping pliers. The work was complicated by the location of the hole, which turned out to be very difficult to reach.

The scheme of works was presented on the Roscosmos website:
The astronauts received a piece of plating "Union" with a hole from drilling




As a result, fragments of the ship's skin were obtained, and now they must be delivered to the Earth for research. In addition, for the implementation of investigative actions, samples of a sealant will be delivered to Earth, with which a hole in the skin of a spacecraft will be blocked.

Recall that the return of the mission from the International Space Station is scheduled for December 20.

The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, thanked the astronauts for their work, which, as noted, was fraught with unprecedented complexity and risk. According to Rogozin, the samples taken will give an answer to the question about the appearance of a hole in the plating of the “Union”.

Journalists asked NASA representatives to comment on the work of the Russians in outer space. The American Aerospace Association said they did not consider it necessary to comment on the Russian cosmonauts survey of the Russian spacecraft plating.

TASS cites a statement from NASA representative Cheryl Warner:
It would be inappropriate to speculate on the results of a spacewalk until analysis on Earth is complete.

                  Well, fear God! The skin of the ship is not smoked. cut off a piece of anti-meteorite casing and made scrapings from the outer surface. As I understand it, they want to receive samples of drill material. It may turn out that it was a Chinese drill. Then, it’s for sure the Americans, our Chinese in orbit do not use.

              The bottom line is that there is a need to obtain additional samples, which may contain microparticles of the same drill. Comparative analysis of these particles with particles taken from drill samples available in the "toolbox" of our workers, will give a clear understanding of which drill was used - ours, or foreign, i.e. the one on the American module.

                  Why not conduct such an analysis? Detectives, by the way, would not be detectives if there were no objective methods of examination.
                  For example, your girlfriend, having asked you to go to a bachelorette party for 2-3 days, "suddenly" became "rounded" in a couple of months. Surely you think that you always had everything under control with her, but suspicions do not disappear: should you innocently write off her "sudden flight" as "your oversight" (and not sweat detective stories) ... or go through DNA for peace of mind -analysis (quite an accessible procedure) so that there are no omissions?
                  PS: In my opinion, the analysis of this drilled place is an unprecedented case in world forensics, and it just for the sake of interest should have been uncovered - much can come up there.

          it’s very simple: if you drilled in space, then there will be traces on other layers of the ship, but if you climbed at the factory (that piece of iron was drilled in the wrong place and in order not to get stuck the worker who drilled did not mask the correct hole) then there will be no drill marks on other layers .. .

                As can be understood from the article, it was a piece of the sealed case that was cut out, in which there was a hole. And the thermal protection was opened to get to the sealed shell. So, apparently, this Soyuz ship is to be scrapped in the ocean. IMHO.

        You are either unfair or little informed. Look, there is infa that the station had two serious accidents. Accident with an oxygen station and fire. One compartment was completely disabled and only thanks to the courage and resourcefulness of our astronauts did they escape death. By the way, when ours fought for their lives and the remaining compartments of the station, the American astronaut could not do anything in horror and simply watched the actions of our astronauts.
        So, by the time of flooding, the station was already poorly functional and unsuitable for repair. And the decision to flood was made for a reason.

          I am aware of both accidents and outright underfunding, to put it mildly, simply, after the construction of the ISS on MIR, the bolt was gradually hammered. But the life of the station could be extended and, if desired, MIR-2 could not be rebuilt in full. From Roscosmos, many said that the station could be saved. But I also remember how Putin openly and brazenly lied to the honored Soviet cosmonauts and scientists, to the TV camera, that he would rebuild a new station when they asked him to allocate money for repairs and extend its life. Moreover, the station was not purely "peaceful" because the military had their own interests there. And the main question I have for Putin is, why was there a promise that you can never fulfill ?!

                        And where did you get the idea that the sealant was applied from the outside? The sealant that fills the gap on either side is on either side of the hole. Especially under conditions of different pressures. And when a hole is detected in the casing, it is primarily sealed. And in this case, if the hole in the casing was already sealed with sealant BEFORE a problem was detected at the station, then after repeated sealing, traces of the initial sealant can be taken only from the outside.

                        From the inside, they could (yes, I think that they were obliged to) apply sealant as soon as they discovered the hole. Still, there are not laboratory conditions, people's lives depend on the speed of eliminating depressurization. And by the way, 2 mm is not so small. And in this case, if the sealant was already there, then its traces from the inside were under the sealant layer imposed when the depressurization was eliminated.

    The outer meteor protection is not damaged, and this clearly excludes that it was done in space.

              For most non-solid sealants, there is a decrease in volume during polymerization. Everything can be done flush in a relaxed environment. Blowing out the mushroom requires too much or too little pressure - computable.

                Well, yes, of course, but there were no traces of sealant inside ...

    Well, after all, the Americans did not threaten to fall below the lunar surface. And here, if you come off the hoses, then you have an unplanned excursion throughout the universe. And then where to look for this meteorite in a spacesuit?

    Pfff .. When I was repairing a bridge crane from the scaffolding, I fastened it on top .. and I climbed up a steep and swinging staircase up to 30 meters - I thought I’ll lose consciousness right there ..
    And if I "broke away" .. then I would have an "excursion" even much less promising .. I wouldn't even have time to blink, let alone admire the Universe ..

    Any builder running around the edge of a high-rise building when laying floor slabs risks no less risk ..

    The hole was made at the factory. What's next?

      Where is this said? On the contrary, after conducting an investigation at the ZEM, it turned out that they did not make a hole there.

        in the article above, the sealant was sealed under protection

      unlikely at the factory ... otherwise depressurization would work at the stage of removal during overloads

    Damn, in order to prove - the hole is the machinations of our "partners" men hung out for 8 hours like balloons opening the module shell. God forbid the burr would have pierced the glove of the spacesuit? Dealing with "partners" is getting harder ....

      the peasants did not hang out in vain — they proved that they had made a hole at the factory, and they definitely established that the one who installed the protection could not know about it — the sealant is clearly visible.
      now they will ask him ...

        This could well be proved by an investigation at the factory. Well, one person could not do this and no one noticed ...

          In order to prove the guilt of the person who pasted the protective fabric on the sealant, FACTS and EVIDENCE are needed. They collected facts and evidence in space. But it is impossible to blame unfounded people. Incidentally, we have not canceled the Criminal Code and the procedure for collecting evidence.

      Likbez especially for you. The suit's fabric is aramid. To make you understand, Kevlar is just aramid fabric. Do you need to decrypt further? Is it clear that no burr will ever break through the spacesuit’s kevlavre perchtaku ???

    Holes in the toilet are needed if the air filters are ineffective. Someone is tired.
