The media announced the results of the preliminary inspection of the hole in the casing of the "Union"

RIA News published a material in which, referring to an unnamed source, reports on the preliminary results of studying photographs of a fragment of the skin of the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft. This is the area of ​​anti-meteorite protection where the hole was previously found. The discovery, as we know, caused a wide resonance - to the extent that some representatives of the space industry announced “the possible fact of drilling a hole by one of the crew members of the ISS due to psychological problems.”

Source in the rocket and space industry to which it refers RIA News, reports that, according to preliminary estimates of the study of the hole, "no evidence of the impact of the drill was found." This is called the results of the preliminary inspection.



From the material:
The photographs taken by the astronauts were scanned; no trace of drilling was found on the ship’s micrometeorite defense.

At the moment, this statement was not commented by the representatives of Roscosmos.

Recall that the Russian cosmonauts carried out work in open space, during which they cut off a fragment of the very micrometeorite defense with damages.

The media announced the results of the preliminary inspection of the hole in the casing of the "Union"

The picture was published on the page of the Russian cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev


The fragment, as originally reported, will be transferred to a special laboratory of the FSB. It is after this that the final answer to the questions about the origin of the hole in the lining of the “Union” will be received. The return of the mission from the ISS to Earth is scheduled for December 20.

              That is, the skin is also damaged? Not just a case?
              It turns out, or a very long drill, with which they continued to drill after they drilled the case and the air began to come out. Or ... something flew in from outside, breaking through the casing, body ... but not breaking through the synthetic matter that covered the body from the inside.
              Or covered the hole with matter later?

              Yes, and this hole looks somehow not very similar to a neat drilling.

      Muddy, not the right word. As a matter of fact, some kind of hasty and unreasonable conclusion is being sold to us now, because the samples themselves are still at the station. Traces of drill impact, or their absence, could be determined without leaving the module, especially into open space, so that for the sake of such a "conclusion" the lives of astronauts could be risked.

      The meteorite did not exactly hit, because the outer "protection" is intact, so the hole appeared before the installation of this outer layer of protection. That is, a non-standard hole was drilled during the manufacture of the ship.

    In my opinion, something is messed up in the news. Micrometer protection was removed in order to get to the casing - to see where the edges of the hole go (on which side they drilled) and where, respectively, is the putty. And take samples of this putty (not protection). Already in space, it became clear that the hole was drilled in the factory, the hole goes from the outside to the inside. There (outside) was putty.

    However, at the same time it becomes completely unclear where the traces of drilling (peeled paint) come from on the inside?

        Indeed, there are more than one options. I think that since we took such measures for the investigation, we will soon announce a conclusion based on its results. But purely even thinking logically - the version with an unbalanced astronaut is much less likely than a manufacturing defect. It is much easier to select a few, or several dozen "super-people" suitable for space missions than a few thousand technically supporting these missions. And it is much easier to make a mistake in the complex technological process of assembling a ship than to get to the point of drilling it in space from the inside.

        Interestingly, what will they do with the ship? Returned to Earth for research? as I understand it, the astronauts on it are not safe to launch.

          Alexander! hi As I believe, if there was an obvious manufacturing defect, then, given the recently tarnished reputation of Roskosmos, ours would not "wash dirty linen in public." Moreover, the module is purely ours and the p-owls could not be allowed there at all until the causes of the leak were eliminated. They would say that a microcrack or micro-hole from a meteorite was found. Quietly, they would close up the hole and hush up the case. And then no - they rang the bell "to the whole Ivanovskaya". I think that not everything is so simple.

          As I understand it, this module is one of those that descend to Earth, as a result of which the outer shell burns so much that it is no longer possible to study those fragments for which the spacewalk was carried out. As they say - "ends in water". Therefore, those who initiated this entire operation to remove samples and deliver them to Earth have serious reasons to assume that there is an interest and direct participation of "partners" in the appearance of this hole on the Russian segment of the ISS. As far as my memory serves me, not so long ago there was information that the mattresses in their module had a problem with the toilet, because of which they used our space pot for some time. Here, as it were, the topic arises, did they really have such a serious problem, and did this hole appear during their "friendly" campaigns?

    the final answer to the questions about the origin of the hole in the skin of the "Union" will be received

    The answer, of course, will be received. But will it be published?
    That is:
    1) if no obvious traces of "orbital humanoids" are found, then the hype was raised in vain (and the hype is a convenient preparatory period for the design of a lever of pressure on the "inconvenient partner" - her in such matters for nothing they do not raise);
    2) if traces of "orbiting humanoids" are found, then what - to disclose them, worsening the already fragile relationship? And then how to fly on (officially) their station, restricting them access due to sabotage?
    ------
    I suppose that they will hide the story, explaining it with some fantastic phenomenon (a drill-toothed intra-station cockroach). And they themselves, in turn, will have the opportunity to set conditions for the "sworn partner". Simply because there is no sense in "exposing the villain". How to punish him?

    I will translate it from journalism into a normal language: when removing the screen-vacuum insulation and opening the panel of the anti-meteoroid aluminum screen, no traces of drilling were found on the inside of this screen. Those. if drilled in space, then the drill should have left a mark on this screen, but if it would have been long enough for this. The black sealant, a piece of which Oleg took was a trace of a gauze swab with sealant - which the astronauts put into the hole when, in search of a leak, they found it.

    At the ZEM, where the ship was going, when installing the screen, the hole, even if it was dirty, would be immediately noticeable - all assembly operations are documented. After assembly at the ZEM, the ship was in the CIS at Baikonur for a long time.

    it doesn’t matter where it was drilled from, when opening the protection it turned out that the hole was sealed with sealant outside, before the meteorite was installed, that is
    1. It was made at the factory.

    "Opening the MMZ and EVTI made it possible to find that the outer part of the hole was sealed with some kind of black substance." I knocked out all this blackness, now there is a lighter mass, "Oleg Kononenko reported to the MCC.

    What kind of black mass with fringe, which the astronauts compared with a spider, will show a study on Earth where the collected samples of the “plug” and the adjacent area of ​​the MMZ will be sent with the Soyuz-MS-09 ship on December 20. However, the detection of this "gag" under the MMZ

    indicates that the hole was made during the assembly of the ship on Earth.

    With the fact that traces now lead to RSC Energia, agrees Victor Minenko, professor of MSTU. Bauman, a former employee of RSC Energia, previously engaged in the design of transport manned and unmanned vehicles Soyuz and Progress.

    “Of course, this was done here (in RSC Energia), from where the entire object is delivered already assembled at the cosmodrome. After all, the ship’s hull, MMZ and EVTI make, install different brigades, different people. So, we need to look for someone in the workshop, ”Minenko told Gazeta.ru.

    The expert believes that analysis of the material used to plug the hole can point to the culprit. “And this mastic can be found, and the one who installed it, who has it in use, is there such a mastic in the workshops,” Minenko believes. "
    Something like that.
