The broadcast of the launch to the ISS and the docking of the fastest manned spacecraft has been published

Russian cosmonaut Ivan Wagner this morning took a photo of the launch from Baikonur of the Soyuz 2.1a rocket, which will deliver the Soyuz MS-17 manned spacecraft to the International Space Station. The survey was conducted from the ISS.

This news agency reported Interfax... The astronaut posted the photos on his Twitter page.

Ivan Wagner congratulated Favorov (call sign of the spacecraft crew members) on a successful launch:

Favorites, congratulations on a successful launch! The rocket flight from space looks even cooler than from the Earth!

On board the ship are two Russian cosmonauts and Kathleen Rubins from the United States. They will replace Ivan Wagner, Anatoly Ivanishin and Chris Cassidy, who are now on the International Space Station.

The rocket was launched today at 8.45 Moscow time. For the first time, a short two-turn trajectory was chosen for the flight, which should take a little more than three hours. This is an absolute record for the ISS flight speed. Spacecraft usually take about six hours to do this.

Prior to this, the Progress cargo spacecraft reached the station along a two-turn trajectory. In particular, he holds the previous record for the speed of delivery to the ISS, which was 3 hours 18 minutes.

At the moment it is known that the flight to the ISS for the first time in stories took only three hours.

Where are our ladies? Why can't we see them in orbit?
This strange discrimination, despite the fact that the first woman in space is ours, is puzzling.
P / S / And the first black man in space is also ours and not American!

Because, in Russia, for the time being, everyone's heads are in place and they are not chasing cheap PR. Astronauts are selected solely for their professional skills, and not for gender or nationality. Women, this is great, no doubt, but everyone should mind their own business.

despite the fact that the first woman in space is ours

Everyone knows perfectly well that Tereshkova, it was an exclusively political PR project, and had a very distant relationship to real space research. As well as all the "first Vietnamese", "first Mongolian", "first Angolan" and other "first". They took them into space as tourists, for political reasons. The main thing is that, as in that joke, "you didn't touch anything with your hands."

[Mityay65]

“Where are our ladies? Why can't we see them in orbit?

The time has come when not pilots, but scientists should fly to the station. Find and select among young Russian female scientists with good health and send them to the ISS. And if Russia has not yet found such, then there are options:
a) there are no young female scientists;
b) they are, but they are not suitable for health reasons;
c) there are young women scientists with good health, but the scientific program of their subject does not correspond to the world one.
So the reason is either one or all at once.

Kate Rubins learned to be an astronaut. And in life she is a scientist.
"She earned her Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of California, San Diego and her BS in Cancer Biology from the Department of Biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology."
This is her second flight to the ISS.

Do not indulge yourself with illusions. Space has always been evaluated primarily, exclusively from a military point of view. Therefore, they flew there, mainly pilots, and, moreover, the military. In the second place are engineers (where can we go without them), and only then, in the third place, are scientists. All this talk about "peaceful space" for suckers and liberadrils. As long as there is competition and disagreement between states and nations in the world, space will never be peaceful.

As in that old joke, I don't remember literally, but something like this:
We decided to check the reaction of pilots from different countries to the needle in the seat.
Franuz swore, pulled the needle out of his ass and threw it away.
The American pulled out the needle and sued the technician.
The Russian pulled out the needle, looked at it and with the words - "hell knows, probably some kind of revision for modernization", stuck the needle back in the ass.

[vinschu]

No no. This is a revised anecdote about the cadets of the flight school of different years of study. Your version is not funny and meaningless. For my taste.

[Split]

Well, there are no girls in orbit, so a hole appeared, all according to technology! So, in order to avoid the appearance of such leaks, they sent them a feminine kerbal, so to speak

“At the end of the journey, we will have to pay off” ...
And they paid off - for the last time!
BBC article (Russian):
“This Soyuz flight to the ISS is special. We explain why "
https://www.bbc.com/russian/news-54546617
“... this flight on the Soyuz could be the last for a NASA astronaut - the US space agency did not book a seat in the next Russian spacecraft.
Since 2006, NASA has purchased 72 seats in Soyuz from Roscosmos, paying approximately $ 3,9 billion for this. The cost of a ticket to the ISS for Soyuz has since increased from $ 20 million to $ 90 million.
...
“At the best of times, [Roscosmos received] more for seven flights a year than the Russian Federation pays for the entire manned program. During this period, when we delivered the crews to the ISS, virtually the entire manned program, and this is not only flights, but also the maintenance of the station - the biggest article, and much more, all this was paid for at the expense of a seat on the Soyuz, - said the expert. Now this money will be compensated by expenses from the Russian budget. ”

Good luck in orbit.
Amused by the phrase, There are two Russian cosmonauts and Kathleen Rubins on board the ship. Hopefully all the drills and screwdrivers were hidden in advance.

ISS launch and docking broadcast published the fastest manned ship

Thank you for at least in this way trying to draw attention to our achievements in space. To tell the truth, not the fastest. But the fastest at the moment capable of docking with the ISS. Well, that is. Not serious. Etc
By the way, why don't you compete with the speed of docking to the ISS. Go ... There is a neutral field for competition.

I suggest that all countries that participate in the ISS project organize the competition for the fastest docking after launch from Earth. For manned vehicles. And not inhabited in principle. And then divide it into groups and subgroups.

[Laksamana besar]

It's good when there are no traffic jams, 3 hours and three minutes, and the ISS.

[donavi49]

By the way, Ryzhikov, Sverchkov and Rubins will definitely not get bored, but will probably share the most trump beds, because again there will not be enough for everyone. In two weeks Hopkins, Glover, Shen Walker and Noguchi fly to them.

In November, the Bishop module flies to them.

Well, when, if Boeing does confirm the readiness of Starliner for the extended commission, then it will also accept Starliner.

They will sleep at the station in turn. Or, who will win the card bunk.

NASA pushed the flight to early - mid-November due to problems.
And so it was planned on October 31 - just in time for the November 3 elections
Apparently, NASA did side with Biden in September

Spoils the impression of rotten PR: "the fastest manned spacecraft." Uh-huh, its speed is about 60 km / sec. There is nothing to brag about, there is (so far) something to be proud of, but why shame?

Yeah. You have a rotten sketch. The fastest - in terms of the speed of transporting astronauts to the station. And the speed, it is 7,9 km per second, almost 8, not 60. At a speed of 60, they would have rushed to Pluto.
