USA refuse flights to ISS on Soyuz

Roscosmos, according to a previous decision, will send only two Soyuz manned spacecraft next year to the ISS. This is due to the fact that the United States did not apply for a third ship, while the Russian Federation does not feel the need for it.

Even if NASA changes its mind, this alignment cannot be changed, as time has already been lost for the manufacture of the device. As explained in Roscosmos, the production of one ship takes 2,5-3 of the year. The United States “reserved” only one place with the expectation that their astronaut would be on the ISS in the spring of 2020. It is assumed that subsequent delivery will be carried out by our own devices.

However, the deadlines for the implementation of private flight programs, which are implemented by Boeing and SpaceX, and which NASA expects, have been repeatedly postponed since 2014. And this is not to mention the trial operation of the Starliner and Crew Dragon ships, without which it is difficult to talk about the safety of their use. There is a possibility that they may not be in orbit in the 2020 year.

To launch the third "Union", it must be done. In principle, this would be a way out if we had thought about it before. Anticipating such a situation, having ordered such a ship, one could have reserves

- said Sergey Krikalev, who oversees manned programs in Roscosmos.

But the Americans ignored Moscow’s repeated calls not to rush to refuse her services and to play safe. As a result, already in the fall of 2020 of the year on the ISS for the first time in stories exclusively Russian crew will fly. Moreover, it will not consist of two cosmonauts, but of three, since it was decided to increase their number at the station. Thus, there will be no place to place an American on this ship. As a result, a replacement for an astronaut already working at the station may not arrive in time.

Well, to hell with them, with American astronauts.
The main thing is not to change your mind yourself.
We decided only to send our own, so act in the end.

If it doesn’t work out for the Americans, then they’ll shoot a movie. Or the bus will be launched into space.

1) Crew Dragon is not the only threat: in parallel with SpaceX, the manned Starliner spacecraft, by order of NASA, is also developing Boeing, flight tests began in 2019. These two ships - Crew Dragon and Starliner - should completely solve the problem of delivering astronauts to station and rid NASA of its dependence on Roscosmos.
2) Creation of cargo "Dragons" reduced the number of flights of Russian "Progress" transports, which, by the way, were also partially paid by the USA. Market competition is curtailing the number of Russian commercial satellite launches.

So already the Russian space system is only collecting two rockets, so it is likely that only the Russian crew will remain on the ISS by the end of the year

The delivery of one astronaut to the International Space Station on Soyuz spacecraft costs the United States $ 85 million. This was stated by US Vice President Michael Pence, speaking at a forum organized by the Politico newspaper,

According to him, American citizens are disappointed that the United States cannot independently launch its astronauts into space, being fellow travelers with the Russians.

“We pay about $ 85 million per seat,” Pence said.

[Bshkaus]

But it doesn’t matter whether it agrees or not. They have only one seat reserved.

But I completely agree with this (in continuation of the dialogue in another news;)). With all my sincere respect for Elon Musk, it was very rash to chop off a branch without the right of a safety net. I know from myself: I created a laboratory at my enterprise in order to transfer work from another institute closer to myself, it would seem - start, and the bosses are hoofing "come on already", I had to explain for a long time that first it was necessary to test everything in a test mode, and then if the puncture comes out, it will not seem a little. First, they will express their dissatisfaction that this is another six months postponement, they will think for a day or two, then they give the command to "reinsurance".

The Americans give the back (will it really work out), but how about the Europeans? They immediately declared that they would use only the shtatovskih carts. America once again framed Europe, well, they’re not used to it. Although it’s time to start thinking with your own brains.

Everyone is still pitching with water, at the end of October they plan to launch without a crew, and in the spring with the crew, as they say, the tradition is fresh, but hard to believe. People, this is not a car, so let's take a look

Excuse me, but why are they jammed? Dragon with people will fly definitely not in the spring of 2020. At this time, only a test of the rescue system is scheduled. And knowing that SpceX is organizing on Agile, it can be said with a high degree of probability that they will not be in time in the spring. Because Dragon’s design, as Dmitry Konanykhin aptly remarked on his cozy little YouTube channel, the design is hipster. Those. there is not a problem with the check valve, but with the basic structure of the ship and its rescue system. And this is for a long time.

[zlinn]

test of the rescue system scheduled for November 23, and the ship and the rocket are already at the spaceport
Of course there will be transfers, well, maybe it will fly in January, and then there are no any preferences for a flight with a crew in the spring

[Kazbek]

It will take very brave astronauts. It will be a pity if they crash right at the start. I wouldn’t fly on such a raw ram ...

[RUSS]

Quote: Vladimir16

Well, to hell with them, with American astronauts.

For Russia, the delivery of American astronauts to the ISS is a very profitable business. Earlier, Moscow has repeatedly said that it is ready to continue cooperation. But the United States for several years to the question of extending the contract did not answer unambiguously. The fact that there will be no new contract with NASA, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov officially announced only at the end of August this year.

The current contract for $ 490 million involved six rounds of flights - to the ISS and back. In just the past three years, the United States has paid Russia almost $ 1 billion ($ 935 million) for the delivery of astronauts to the ISS. At the same time, the price for one seat in the "Union" for the Americans was constantly growing. In 2008, it cost Americans $ 21,8 million, and in 2018 - already $ 82 million. Over 10 years, the price has almost quadrupled.

It is not surprising that, against such a background, the Americans thought about an alternative to the Russian Soyuz. NASA launched a program for the development of private manned spacecraft - more than $ 8 billion was allocated for it.As follows from the 2016 NASA presentation, companies such as Boeing and SpaceX are ready to send Americans into space much cheaper than Roscosmos - for $ 58 million.

At the same time, the price for one seat in the "Union" for the Americans was constantly growing. In 2008, it cost Americans $ 21,8 million, and in 2018 - already $ 82 million.

It's just that the Americans used to be thin, but now they are too hungry. It is because of them that the Soyuz capacity has to be constantly increased

[Maxwrx]

Not quite so. We began to bend prices to them when they said that they would refuse our delivery. And when we are monopolists and there is nothing left to lose, we raised prices and did the right thing. Prior to this, price increases were for the domestic market. Yes, and 22 million per place - it is indecently cheap. As for the price of American ships, you are disingenuous, Boeing and Spaceics are ready to send 6 astronauts at that price, but in reality, according to their plans, they have no more than 4, but they can easily cost 3. 1-2 people flew unions 4 times a year, which is much more convenient for crew rotation than flying 2 times a year. Therefore, the price of 58 million (spaceix, Boeing more expensive) must be multiplied by 1,5 / 2 times. The reliability of the union is tested and it is very high! Of course it is outdated, but it performs its functions and most importantly - reliably! The essence of rejecting us is certainly not in the economy.

After all, the United States is a rich country, and if so, tickets for them should be more expensive, according to a progressive scale! So everything is chin-chin !!!

[axiles100682]

Well, this is not a business matter. Most likely they want to squeeze out everything that is possible from the ISS, but then each of them will build their own "mansions". It saddens me more that we gave our "partner" something that cannot be returned, this is an invaluable experience of construction long-term space stations, experience in their maintenance, etc., etc.

[donavi49]

So it's hard to pull your station. Plus there is no understanding why. That is, in its current form - the ISS is working in a strong minus. Now there are many concepts of the stations of the future.

Tourist is a small hotel. Here's an example of this:

Or assembled from separate rooms - like this, here the truth will be expensive 200 for a day, provided that it is fully loaded.

Another option is a research station. It assumes the constant presence of personnel who are engaged only in the maintenance of the station and are generally freed from scientific work.

At the same time, scientific units must be equipped with modular equipment + large volumes. The essence of the concept is the implementation of a mass of experiments by various institutes and companies:
- a set of equipment is imported into the scientific module and the personnel mount it.
- A passenger ship flies next with 3-4 scientific staff who trained 3-5 for weeks.
- They have been working for several months on their research program. Complete it.
- the equipment is packed and flies away on a truck.
- 3-4 employee fly home.
- A new truck carries a new set of experiments.
- A new passenger ship carries a new team of scientists.

That is, it is necessary to achieve:
- a large volume and high opportunities for the transformation of the scientific module.
- optimize the passenger training program, reduce its cost, and expand health tolerances.
- Form a pool of scientific work for the maximum load of the station.

[axiles100682]

Well, they kept the WORLD in the worst years to the last. You can go this route. And earn money from tourists, and do science from tourism. Yes, and whoever wants to develop their own space program? The same Turkish cosmonauts can be trained or Jewish.

They promise that the launch of the Nauka module to the ISS will take place in November 2020 ... in 2015 - "The configuration of a multipurpose laboratory module (MLM), a nodal module (UM) and a scientific energy module (NEM) allows creating a promising Russian orbital station to solve the problems of ensuring Russia's guaranteed access to space "...

I don’t understand why you need to invent extra entities when there is such a simple and understandable device as an anchor bolt.
By the way, in our Roskomos we realized that it makes no sense to deceive compatriots and came up with a robot Fedya, so he apparently should be engaged in tightening the anchor bolts. So all of us earthlings are fine. But just to know all the same, the edge of the earth is steep or gentle ...

Yes, everything is simple. At the station, if there is a crew on it, 2 Soyuz spacecraft should be docked as "lifeboats." This is due to the fact that the station can be "pulled" by only six people for more than two weeks, otherwise its coolant will die. The Soyuz MS spacecraft can be in the station for about six months and there is a possibility that this period will be increased. In addition, their number is sufficient for three people of the Russian crew. In the course of the flight, other ships may arrive at the station, bringing another 6 people and a store for them with him on short visits of two weeks. Thus, it is possible to bring "space tourists" and astronauts of other agencies back and forth on short-term programs.

It is said that the issue should be resolved in 2020, and not by the 21st. In addition, a year for flight safety testing is some kind of not-so-realistic figure, IMHO.

And NASA seems to disagree with the article
https://ria.ru/20191002/1559340327.html

But it doesn’t matter whether it agrees or not. They have only one seat reserved. And we have a lot of VCS planned for next year and we need a third crew member of the ISS RS. We are talking about subsequent years.

I have a question for you, comrade. Two ships per year (manned). Is there enough. In that sense, how long can Soyuz be in orbit in a docked state?

The number and duration of residence at the station have little to do with the life of the ships themselves. If the ship lives less than the flight plans of the crews, then who prevents to change the ship and dock a new one, to replace the aging one in the station. The main thing is not to leave "extra" people at the station for a second, without providing them with urgent evacuation at any time on the ship. The rule is not shaky - how many people are at the station, the same number of seats should be on ships docked to the station. You witnessed the execution of this law - it was not possible to dock the machine to the station. there was an offer to dock it to another port. But he was busy with the ship. It was not directly done to undock and redock it to another port in order to free this port for the machine. They put people on the docked ship, docked the ship with them to another port, freeing it for the machine gun. So, we have everything thought out with these matters.

I will not be happy in general. For there isn’t much to do with it .. Less flights, less work. Both on Earth and in space. The question is different. There will be supposedly no Americans for a whole year on the ISS .. And who will monitor the status of their modules? And will our cosmonauts have access to any modules other than Russian ones? Any problems in the ISS systems will suddenly start? Well, there, computers suddenly begin to break down, the lights blink .. Again, some holes will be drilled ... I think that the Americans simply will not allow Russia to use the ISS alone. There are reasons or circumstances.

Get started. We will fly there on an equal footing, both ours and American. So what are you going to, and where?

"The USA refuses to fly to the ISS on the Soyuz"
H.SNMiiiii

[Lontus]

What's again?? (with)
For many years, such stories have been laid out several times a year - but always break off, since the Americans cannot launch a manned space capsule.
And now, only everyone spread this "news" as NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said that due to constant delays in the first launches of new American spacecraft with crews, the agency will most likely have to buy additional seats on Soyuz in 2020 to ensure the presence of their astronauts on the ISS.

The only thing that surprises is something else - very many do not compare the facts and each time they react with pathological clown enthusiasm to the next statements about "refusing to fly to the Union."

Yes, these are just your assumptions. Things are much more serious and not hypothetical, but real. The fact is that the ISS, no matter how it was in Space, but a slight residual atmosphere nevertheless slows down the station, and it gradually decreases. And several times a year it needs to be raised a little higher. At 100, approximately, kilometers. If this is not done, then after just two or four years of non-interference, it will simply enter the denser layers of the atmosphere and fall.
Next.
It can only be lifted by docking to the Russian block located at the root of the station, in the geometric center, and located in the center of mass. You cannot pick it up from any other place. It will twist and the solar panels may crumble. But for this, the docking station, engine characteristics, etc. must correspond to the parameters of our ship. Let's see how our sworn friends will manage to manage ... If they continue to be rude, we have the right to refuse to participate and undock our blocks, creating our own station from them separately, albeit in a truncated form. The ISS without our blocks, the foundation of the entire structure, is not suitable for anything. It cannot even be safely de-orbited and drowned, as we drowned our silent Mir station, and it will fall on our heads entirely and into an unpredictable place on Earth.

This is actually possible. For example, to install an additional SB on SM "Zvezda", as was installed at one time on the BB of the OPS "Mir". But then of course the ISS AS kirdyk and international cooperation in space. At the same time, the SM flew off its warranty period in space and there is no point in making a station on its basis. Hypothetically, it is possible to make a station based on new modules that are just getting ready for launch. MLM-U, UM and NEM-1 are quite autonomous in combination. Moreover, there is also an option to upgrade them with additional modules.

At the station, in fact, now (in recent years) an interesting

There would be something to return. With the appearance of MLM-U at the station next year, Russia will also have its own GVK, since this module can be used for pilot production. In the meantime, ready-made experimental materials of our 3-D Bioprinter, as well as the results of other experiments, can be returned to the Soyuz MS.

Somehow I read something about it.
The main scientific work was: astronauts from boredom fotkali
Earth through the portholes. There were devices with a gulkin nose.
Then the Japanese became interested in all kinds of films and substrates
for electronics in zero gravity. They are leaders in this field.
And they brought there really interesting devices.
And now it's like a "factory". And not alone. And the products are lowered onto reusable
Dragons.

You read something wrong and not there.

From 2000 to today, experiments and studies have been conducted on the ISS RS in the following areas:

- Biomedical research
- Geophysical exploration
- Research of the Earth's natural resources
- Space biotechnology
- Cosmic ray research
- Space technology and materials science
- Physico-chemical processes and materials in space
- man in space

In addition, contract work is carried out, including with foreign customers.

A list of all experiments and the results on them is available on the network both on the RKK website and on the TsNIIMash website.

The Americans have done so far the most manned launches, and people were transported into space three times as many as Russia-USSR, well, they got a timeout lasting 8 years, so what’s the result of the drink will fly again, it's just a pity time was not used by the Russian space industry for anything useful for the future

And what to build it? It is more than 90% finished. Undock your blocks, add two under construction for 20 years, and assemble them in orbit from them. And let the trash left by the ISS tumble there until it falls on its head, it is not clear where and to whom. Our blocks are the foundation of the ISS. Without them, this is a set that neither lift nor move.

Electricity sufficient to undock, and functioning autonomously enough. Can you tell me how the Russian part flew at the beginning almost a year before the assembly of the main part of the station? Two blocks, lying on the Earth for many years, to complete and run. While they were in agreement, they were treated by strangers, and did not finish theirs. When necessary, finish it.
There is little science, intelligence, and limited experiments in the interests of the Defense Ministry, there are enough resources.

The property will allow. The blocks are Russian and no one will interfere with using them at our discretion. As we cannot control the Japanese module, the Canadian, the American, in the same way they are. It is only possible on lease use time. Projects that involve JOINT use. They are not here.
Blocks of the Russian part were displayed on Russian media. And they will, if they are needed and will be ready.

Do not sculpt humpbacked.
In the case of a decision to end the operation of the station, it is planned to bring it out of orbit. At this time, financing and operation of the ISS for 2024 inclusive has been agreed, a further extension cycle to 2028, 2030 is being considered. The proposals of the separation of the Russian segment of three modules from the ISS in 2024 (the “laboratory module”, the nodal module, the “scientific and energy module”) and the creation of a national space station on their basis were considered. Technically possible. Legally possible. We stop financing, and undock.

Planned:
In 2020. [36] It is planned to dock the Russian 25-ton multifunctional laboratory module (MLM) Nauka to the ISS. It will fall into place of the Pier module, which will be undocked and flooded. Among other things, the new Russian module will take over the functions of the Pier.

After docking the Nauka module with the ISS, it is planned to dock the nodal module with additional docking nodes [2022] to the Russian segment in 36, as well as the NEM-1 science and energy module (in 2022) [36], and the module was also previously planned "NEM-2" [37].


If a decision is made to end the cooperation, new blocks can already be docked to the Russian station.

[Vkd dvk]

Since the possibility of extending the operation was considered, the resources of iron were therefore not fully exhausted. No one will risk doing this without confidence. You need to think with your head, not your ass. And from the available information to choose the truth. Russia, in the end, can remember what it is and send everyone to ..... And make it a goat’s face there.

Russia also needs a new ship. The elderly triple Union looks ridiculously against the background of the seven-seater Dragon.

[Ugolek]

I will answer you this way, the Soyuz ship has already taken place as a reliable ship a long time ago, but Dragon is not a ship at all yet, because it has no statistics at all! The operation of the Dragon will show if there is any reason for laughter. The fact is that the loud laugh from the use of shuttles, as you know, ended in bitter tears ..
