NASA has named the timing of the return of the Crew Dragon ship to Earth

NASA has finally made a decision to return to Earth SpaceX's American crewed spacecraft Crew Dragon, which is currently docked with the ISS. The spacecraft undocking from the station is scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2020, according to the website of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

According to the report, undocking is scheduled for August 1 at 19:34 US East Coast time (August 2 at 02:34 Moscow time). After separation from the station, the Crew Dragon ship with astronauts Douglas Harley and Robert Behnken on board, in 19 hours should land in the Atlantic off the coast of Florida.



It is noted that this will be the first landing of an American descent vehicle in 45 years after the completion of the Apollo flight program in 1975.

Recall that the American crewed spacecraft Crew Dragon, developed by SpaceX as part of a commercial contract with NASA, launched to the ISS on May 30, 2020 after a nine-year hiatus due to the closure of the shuttle program. As part of a manned test flight, he delivered astronauts Douglas Harley and Robert Behnken to the ISS.

NASA emphasizes that this flight is the last major test of the Crew Dragon spacecraft before its certification. After receiving the certificate, he will be able to carry out regular commercial manned flights to the ISS.

      They have there their mission to Mars is under threat of disruption, equipment malfunctions, the rover is "overcooled", and put into standby mode, they are trying to regain control over the complex. ..

          There is no Falcon, there were a little tricky things there, so the Windows crashed into a blue screen laughing ... But seriously, the device went into safe mode.

          > Data indicate the spacecraft had entered a state known as safe mode, likely because a part of the spacecraft was a little colder than expected while Mars 2020 was in Earth's shadow. All temperatures are now nominal and the spacecraft is out of Earth's shadow.

          Now everything is fine, they are thinking how to prevent similar incidents in the future.

        One sensor showed a slightly lower temperature than the calculated one, the rover went into safe mode just in case. Now everything has been restored

        What? One Mars rover has been working on Mars for a bunch of years. The second one was sent just the other day and it is still flying. Are you talking about the second or the first? And what does the Mars exploration program have to do with the ISS manned mission by a private company ???

      It's like writing - Roscosmos has finally made the decision to undo the Union and return it to earth. There initially was ~ 3 months - until August September, if there are no problems.

      If this one splashes down, the next one flies on September 27, with this crew.

          The shuttles' thermal protection was also worked out, but how it came out ... I'm not gloating - a successful return to the guys, but there is always room for problems. By the way, when I was informed about the launch of the rover, I thought that this time not everything will go smoothly. There were similar thoughts when launching the dragon. Hope I'm wrong!

              Not long to wait. Now they are probably testing all the systems of the Dragon. Let's see. As the pilot told me, it's not difficult to take off, but you have to be able to land.

      Although I am not a fan of Musk, I am worried about two astronauts! So good luck with the splashdown, I hope for success
      Especially ardent "judge" Mask excites me. In the beginning, they said that the rockets would not fly. When the missiles flew, they said that they would not fly with pilots for a long time. When they flew into the slope with the pilots, they began to repeat "until they sat down, there is nothing to be happy about." And for every success, they find a reason to belittle the merits. Musk, with great support from NASA, has already accomplished what America has not been able to afford for the past 9 years. This is a great achievement for them. The same would be for us, creating a new, completely our own space station.

        1 August 2020 13: 03
        It will not burn because the thermal protection of the control system is the parachute system, which is maximally unified with the cargo Dragon - the truck flew and returned almost two dozen times.

            1 August 2020 13: 37
            The death of the shuttles in the first case was the collar of the annular nozzle of the TTRD nozzle of the side booster, which had become chilled from a sharp cold snap, due to which the main fuel tank burned out with a subsequent explosion. in the second case, the thermal protection blocks of the main tank at the start came off and damaged the thermal protection of the Shuttle wing, which led to the combustion of it when it entered the dense layers of the atmosphere - Dragon 2 has nothing like this when it is put into orbit. And in comparison with the Shuttles created according to the technologies of the 70s, the Dragon 2 is much more perfect in materials and elaboration.

As now, they said that everything will be ok. I hope everything will be fine ... 6-8 hours left emnip

                Again. The conversation was about a specific flight, scheduled for a specific date. Everyone was waiting for the flight scheduled for May 27. The conversation was on the 16th. Comrade, offered me a bet, I agreed. On the 27th, no one flew. What is not clear. And to talk about flights of Americans in general, like someday they still fly off, you know, a finger in the sky. Well, we flew, so what, but on the 30th. Let's argue with you that someday, people will fly to Mars, or closer to the Moon.

        Is everything all right with your head?
        In the same place, the Russians in white had an agreement written "fly to the ISS and back," that you accepted and linked my similar responsibility, where I would be self-employed, to which I agreed.

        And I will answer you, you who do not remember ours. Why did you offer a bet?
        Read the last line. I repeat that on the 27th, they did not fly.

      You are some kind of completely alternatively gifted.

      I wrote to you:
      Let's bet! (And wrote the terms of the bet). You accepted them. Everything is fixed.


      Personally, I don’t want to force you to make a bet, because I am generally squeamish to communicate with you now, but the fact remains that you have publicly merged from fulfilling the conditions of the bet, that it will not be difficult for me to remind users of the site at the right time. You are not a man.
      With you I have everything.
