"Science-13" or what is happening in orbit?

148

Yes, eight days ago we were surprised to learn that MLM Nauka will still fly to the ISS. It looked more than odd considering that the main operators signed the ISS death warrant after 2024.

Indeed, the topic of this long-suffering module, which has been waiting for its turn since 1995, raises a lot of questions. They started to build it, then threw it, then started again.



At one time, just recently, it seemed that "Nauka" could become the basis for a new Russian station in orbit, since everyone scatters to their corners.

No. The almost thirty-year-old module was nevertheless pushed into orbit and docked to the ISS. "Pierce" was sent to rest in the ocean, now they will wait for the "Berth" to be sent up.

The path to orbit was as difficult as the rest story module. The road to the ISS took eight whole days. This is a kind of anti-record, because today the flight time of spacecraft to the ISS is calculated in hours. But we are not looking for easy ways, and therefore the module was nevertheless dragged to the ISS, in the style of Apollo 13, overcoming various difficulties.


But there were difficulties. The module went into space on July 21, 2021 and docked on July 29 at 16.30 Moscow time. During this time, malfunctions in the fuel system were overcome (not blockages, but a marriage, as Rogozin said), in the operation of the Kurs automatic docking system. In general, in the MCC, these eight days were more than lively.

After docking, cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov began preparations for opening the hatches between the Zvezda and Nauka modules. When they began to open the Zvezda's inner hatch, the Nauka's engines spontaneously turned on and began to turn the entire station around.

The ISS began to rotate erratically. I had to turn on the engines "Progress" and "Zvezda" to counteract. As a result, the station, which had already been turned 45 degrees, was stabilized.

Now almost everything is behind (almost - this is optimism, you never know what else can happen), the module is docked to the ISS.

The question arises: for what?

According to the official releases of Roscosmos, the main task of "Science" is the implementation of the Russian program of scientific and applied research and experiments. It would be very interesting if it weren't sad at the same time.

Let's talk about pleasant things first.

With Nauka, the Russian segment will receive additional jobs, which were so lacking for astronauts, space for storing cargo, additional kits for the regeneration of water and oxygen, solar panels (90% of the Russian segment was supplied with electricity by the Americans), as well as a second toilet, a cabin for the third crew member, and the European manipulator ERA, which will allow you to perform some work without going into outer space.

But the main value of the module is 20 jobs for carrying out various experiments and experiments. Another 13 places are located outside, for carrying out experiments in vacuum using the ERA manipulator.

These are all positive aspects. Now let's see why all this is being started.

Again, referring to the programs of Roskosmos, one can understand that a lot of time will be devoted to various experiments with the genome. Russian cosmonauts have already studied the influence of outer space on the genome of fruit flies. In the future, this genetic analysis will be useful for better selection of crew members.

Study of the genome of microbes, which will change under the influence of cosmic radiation - the "Mutation" program.

The most ambitious project in Roscosmos is called the Quail project. In its course, they want to raise Japanese quail chicks on board the MK. Such an experiment was already carried out at the Mir station 25 years ago. Then the experiment failed, the chicks could not adapt to weightlessness. After 25 years, they decided to repeat the experiment. What is its value, it is difficult to say. Informational statements refer to new equipment for the experiment.

Perhaps this new equipment was planned then, in 1995, at the same time as Nauka, and now it will be used according to the principle of “don't throw it away”. Questionable value.

The only experiments that come as no surprise are the work on growing crystals. But there are also snags. Yes, ultra-pure crystals grown in zero gravity are very useful. But on Earth, repeating them is unrealistic, and one can only dream of an orbital plant. But I would dream, because it's useful.

In general, no such novelty is visible.

It is not entirely clear why it was necessary to push the "Science" so hard into orbit and "on the teeth" drag the module to the ISS. And then also to announce the launch of "Prichal" in November.


Two options. One is bad, the other is better.

A bad option is one in which Roscosmos has a very poor idea of ​​what to do next. And they just follow a pre-planned program. The same one, according to which "Science" was supposed to be in space back in 2007. "Just something" 14 years ago. Such a small "shift to the right".

How many experiments could have been carried out in these 14 years, how would this facilitate the work of Russian cosmonauts, who had a hard time all these years, because foreign astronauts had their own places and their own projects. Because of this, the Russian crew on the ISS was even reduced, there was nowhere to work.

And now, when the ISS is "everyone", for some reason they are dragging this module there. For three years? That kind of money for three years of work?

Perhaps, of course, Roscosmos knows what we do not know. But so far everything looks like this.

The second option is more interesting. Perhaps the resource of the modules will allow them to be operated after 2024. And not just to operate, but by undocking from the ISS. So to speak, in the form of a national orbital base. This would be a more interesting option.

But how everything will turn out in reality, we will see in 2024, fortunately, there is not so long to wait. And then it will be possible to personally understand which of the options was real. Will the entire Russian space economy fall into the ocean or will it continue to exist for some time as an orbital station?

          - this is the one in which Roscosmos has a very poor idea of ​​what to do next. And they just follow a pre-planned program.
          It seems that they simply do not have time with the NEW station (ROSS).
          And with the help of Nauka, they want to extend the service life of the Russian segment of the ISS until 2030.

              It is, of course, good - awards, but I think everything is simpler and more unsightly. Roscosmos is spending a LOT of money (it is clear that in the right pockets), but there is no result. So they dragged it "on the teeth". They ticked the box and "justified" the money invested. The plans of the Russian Federation for space exploration, for any period of time, have not yet been announced. The preposition - "and should we fly to the moon in such and such a year" are untenable. Not on anything! The same is about the new orbital station. As it touched it, "Science" does not fit - there is only a single cabin. So it will continue, a lot of pompous words with the necessary funding. Maybe they will draw a martyr, about a flight to the moon, on a new spacecraft.

                Why quote heresy? Where were the "teeth"? I thought that after Putin announced our breakthrough systems, which became a revelation for the best intelligence services in the world, our inhabitants would finally have a "third eye". Opened up, but in a completely different place wassat and let him look only in the sanitary ware laughing Everything that is said by the Roscosmos functionaries is 90% disinformation, and it is precisely calculated. All actions of Roskosmos for a reason. So the author of the article was carrying a blizzard, but at the end he began to turn on the brain, albeit at low power wassat The conclusion of the module is a well-calculated step, experiments with birds are blatant misinformation. "Unscheduled" engine starts are scheduled. The station was not promoted, as the author writes, but the impulse is compensated. Something, some kind of a controlled catastrophe. You should be embarrassed that after such an emergency, our cosmonauts with happy ro..nice went to rest, but no. They shit on the Americans with a well-calculated impulse (my version). Russia will heat the ISS, because no one has such experience. This is food for thought.

                  The expression is good. And what about what flew normally ...... read what was written before its launch and what happened in reality. I would like to agree with you that the muck was planned, but common sense gets in the way. From the Americans, the answer may arrive that our segment, "will not collect bones." The "Dragon" will arrive and the ISS "will suddenly begin to go out of orbit. The Americans, they will tell ours - sorry, there are no places in the" Dragon ", we will not forget you.

                    Not so, the spy is being conducted, the drain is allowed to a certain extent, until it touches on a real secret, well, like an atomic bomb. In general, the development of modern technologies is such that sometimes it is easier to sell a product. How we sold S-300 complexes to the Americans and aircraft engines to the Chinese. While the first years were sorted out, they were outdated and we made the S-400 for the proceeds from the sale. With regards to aircraft engines for fighters, the Chinese already at that time tried to copy an outdated engine for 20 years and could not do it. For 20 years they copied the outdated Al-31 engine, when we already had the Al-41. When Putin made public our breakthrough samples, and their enemy intelligence completely missed, they rushed to find out in these directions. They hurry, climb straightforwardly, in fact, into traps open to them. So you are right and noticed that the exposure is going well.

          As far as I know, the module was brought to mind by young guys-engineers. This is an invaluable experience for them - fellow succession of generations! I imagine the disappointment if the work of their hands were pushed into the far corner. On the other hand, the ISS will fly until at least 2025. Our astronauts need additional space, which is sorely lacking. The fact that the module is running is undoubtedly by today's standards, the success of our long-suffering "Rogozinskaya" cosmonautics! good

            Yes
            The short-term perspective is to continue launching the Angara with the launch of the components of the future Mir-2 into orbit.
            Collect and test modules that will become structural components of the station.
            Eliminate past design errors and ensure that any component can be replaced.
            It is clear that this is not easy. It is clear that old specialists will not help (how many years have passed). But this is some kind of work.
            ==========
            The docking nodes should work like a Kalashnikov assault rifle. All office premises can and should be duplicated. Let the work in orbit become no more dangerous than the Arctic expeditions and "shift work". Then the matter will go.
            If you look at it, the spacecraft of the USSR were on Venus, on the Moon, and on Mars. Stop sprinkling ashes on yourself. A bad experience is also an experience, you just need to remember:
            Oh, how many wonderful discoveries to us

It is impossible to explain to them that because of the tricks of "science" the American piloted flight to the station was canceled, from where the bolt fell out, who made a hole in the skin, and why the Americans fed our cosmonauts for two weeks and supplied oxygen to our segment.

      Indeed, the topic of this long-suffering module, which has been waiting for its turn since 1995, raises a lot of questions. They started to build it, then threw it, then started again.
      Before writing about the laboratory module, you should at least read its history.

      _In 1993, Russia and the United States entered into an agreement on the creation of a common station, and in 1995, our Center. MV Khrunicheva began to make the first module of the ISS - "Zarya" - ordered by the Americans. To be on the safe side, in parallel, a backup of the Zarya module was created - FGB-2 (functional cargo module), ..........
      _In 1998, Zarya was successfully launched and became the first brick of the ISS. FGB-2 was not in demand (remained in the shop) ...
      .... In the early 2000s, it was decided that FGB-2 could be turned into a warehouse and even leased out space in it to the Americans. In the process of alteration, part of the equipment was dismantled, pipelines were cut down. Apparently, at that moment metal shavings got into the fuel system, because of which the module could completely remain on Earth.
      _By 2004, the need for a warehouse has disappeared. They decided to convert the module into a laboratory for scientific experiments. The name "MLM" Science "has officially appeared. But the volume of alterations was such that they were completed only by 2012. ......

      That is, it was decided to make a laboratory module out of an almost empty building only in 2004 (according to other sources, in 2007), therefore, to tie 1995 to its bookmark - no sideways.

        Bad_gr. It is very similar to the fairy tale about a blacksmith who was brought metal and asked to make a plow out of it. The plow did not work out and every time the metal became less and less, even the needle did not work. But the blacksmith said that he could make pshyk out of this. Okay, do some pshyk. The blacksmith heated this little thing and threw it into the water, there was a pshyk and there was no metal at all. God forbid, but it looks like this can be done with the country.

      The article is generally written by just an amateur who read something somewhere and that's it. If he really worked on the topic, he would know that
      1) Science hasn't moved the station much at all. And the engines were not deliberately jammed. Yes, they worked themselves, when the system, not realizing that it had docked, gave a signal to them to correct the position. The engines were allowed to run out all the remaining fuel, because it was planned anyway. The station weighs a lot and it is impossible to deploy it by 45g with these engines with the same fuel level. A lot of nonsense has already been written on the Internet, and like this author, the article is not checked
      2) MLM Science costs 13 billion rubles, this is a station plus everything that was invested before. Not withdrawing it after so many costs will simply be a greater loss than withdrawing it for at least 3-9 years (MSCs can still be extended right up to 2030)
      3) A lot of experiments are planned, there are still a lot of new places, and the next 3 years are scheduled. What else they want to spend, you need to look
      4) The docking module that was announced for November has not actually been approved on the ISS yet. There are still ongoing discussions about sending it. The announcement was made, but the decision is not yet unambiguous. Yes, here, as it were, the RK likes to make hasty statements, but fortunately he himself then speaks of the unresolved issue.

        And the comment, presumably, was not written by an amateur?
        1. Read the message from NASA Flight Director Zebulon Scoville. It will become clear to what extent the ISS deployed in real life after the unauthorized activation of the Nauka engines. Did you deliberately jam the engines? Is this a new version of the RC or yours personally?
        2. The module costs not 13 billion rubles, but 18. It is sometimes necessary to listen to the statements of the master of Russian cosmonautics, Mr. Rogozin. It is not for Russia to decide how much the ISS's service life will be extended in theory. And the one who bears the main costs of its operation is the United States. And the issue will be resolved depending on how successful the first SLS launch and the first Starship orbiter will be. Depending on this, the United States can prolong its participation in the project, or at once cool off to it. Therefore, it is better to keep in mind for the time being Solovyov's opinion about 2024/2025, as the most realistic in terms of the completion of the project. After this period, an avalanche-like failure of the station equipment may begin. In any case, in the ISS RS.
        3. How many experiments are there? So far, it has been officially announced already about thirteen. For the sake of this insignificant amount, it was necessary to drive a twenty-ton module to the station?

          But can Russia decide to drown the module together with the ISS, or leave it in orbit? Not special, but undocking, preserving and leaving "for later" is probably possible. Up there, every kilogram is gold.

          Thank you for the video: the RGB graphs of the rotation coordinates were extremely interesting and quite informative.
          However, it should be noted that in the above video, an attempt to visualize the rotation of the ISS looks crazy: someone definitely does not understand that -180 degrees = +180 degrees. Accordingly, at these moments, the ISS model twitches like an epileptic (3 times per video), which makes it difficult to perceive the nature of the rotation of the station.
          If I understood the graphs correctly, then in the end there were only 2 complete revolutions of the station, but at very bizarre angles. On the one hand, it’s not fatal, but at the same time, these somersaults could easily disrupt experiments that were not designed for this.

              There is not much money for such a position, in comparison with Miller or the positions of our "oilmen". But the responsibility is much greater, and Rogozin is completely screwed for any mistake. Considering the income of our oligarchs on the basis of the extraction of raw materials, Rogozin can generally be considered a loser - such a piece has not broken off for him, and this probably saddens him.

Tell me, can a specialist from journalism and politics at 48 feel like a dozen in the space industry, without having BEFORE (!!!) a complete understanding of the processes and activities in the space industry?
        I suppose that Dmitry Olegovich is not a stupid and erudite person with a certain charm. But this is not enough to become Ermakov, Korolev or Keldysh. Check out the biographies of these people. Will you entrust an entire industry to a person just because he suits you with his devotion? Devoted to you, he may be indifferent to the assigned work.
        And the last thing is to blame the successes of competitors. They managed to prove their advantage. To "plug them in the belt" present for review what no one else has. You will have "happiness" and forgiveness of past mistakes.
        An industry leader doesn't have to burden himself with writing notes on Twitter, he doesn't have to sit on social networks - that's not what he gets paid a lot of money for. And the last thing is when (even a son's) relatives and friends with the help of patronage DARKLY (!!!) become the MOST EFFECTIVE MANAGERS in Russia.
        And what about our country, what problems can a loyal and plundered state have? There is only one problem here: they are trying to prove to us that LIFE HAS BECOME BETTER, LIFE HAS BECOME MORE FUN, while honoring the traitors as the saviors of Russia. Only is it TRUE? Isn't all rubbish from the evil one?

          Under the USSR, neither Keldysh, nor Korolev, nor Chelomey could pull on the Internet with or without reason. Rogozin, yes, not Korolev. He simply covers the modern Korolevs with his chest, takes on all the fire against Roscosmos so that they do not interfere with their work. After all, there was a big break in the exploration of space by Russia, many scientists and designers went abroad, the connection between generations and some of the technologies have been lost. a new generation, and this cannot happen without mistakes. And there were mistakes then: Marshal Nedelin and 75 other people, cosmonauts Patsaev, Volkov, Dobrovolsky, Komarov died. So the heads had to be removed?

            His guilt is one: if you can't, if you don't know how, step aside and don't shine. He was left with an unbroken trough and the priorities in the industry could be outlined.

      The module was launched with a single purpose, and Rogozin himself spoke about it very clearly. So that 18 billion rubles of the people's rubles, spent on endless fuss for a quarter of a century, do not go to waste. It's just that someone at the top could run out of patience, and he could ask a completely logical question: will you fool our heads with your "Science" for a long time? How long will you suck money from the budget for endless alterations and refinements? And what did the allocated funds go for? So "Science" had to be launched anyway, the time has come.
      But the question is - why?
      1. Will "Science" give impetus to science? In this case, space? It is highly doubtful. In light of the fact that as many as thirteen experiments are planned on the module (for comparison, the Americans have already conducted more than one and a half thousand experiments).
      2. When should you be hired by science at all? Between work to find the next air leaks? But 2024/2025 is just around the corner. Take a look at the schedule of work on the ISS.
      The whole of August is not occupied by Russia at all. Docking - undocking Starliner / Harmony, Cygnus, Dragon v2, IOD-3 AMBER / Bishop, CUAVA-1 and TUMnanoSAT / J-SSOD, Binar-1, EVA-77.
      And only at the end of September the redocking of the Soyuz MS-18 Rassvet / MLM-U Nauka is planned. And around this time VKD-49/50 for connecting cables between SM and MLM (Novitsky, Dubrov). And there are at least 8-9 of them, similar outputs. Or 11. Minimum. If you're lucky.
      Further - a one-year check of all systems of Science. 12 months... Not science, not experimenting. And checks. What year will it be? How much will remain until the estimated date of death of the ISS (2024/2025)? Will we have time to carry out all 13 experiments that are planned for the ISS?
      And this is not taking into account more than half of October this year. Which drops out completely, because Shipenko and Peresild fly to the station. What the hell is science if you need to shoot a movie? Leaving the specialists on Earth at the same time?
      And after the check and the epic from the cinema, what, by the way, should you conduct research on? Scientific equipment in Science is loaded a cat cried - less than 1/5 of the required amount. But other? And the rest is on Earth. He will be brought up by "Progressami". When? And the dog knows him ... But the year of the commercials by 2024-2025 will be brought up for sure. On October 30, Progress MS-18 will dock with Zvezda. And there, in a couple of months, it's already 2022. Fine, Constantine!
      3. With the arrival of Nauka, the power dependence of the ISS RS will only increase. Its SB issues a passport 2,5 kW. Compare this to the power consumption of your electric kettle. Here is my Bosch TWK3P420 eats the same - 2400 watts. For sockets and connectors, 28 volts DC is enough. But there is also such a thing as LSS. With its SOGS, SVO, SSGO, SOP, SOTR and others. And all this crowd needs e / e. Constantly. And the Star produces only 13,8 kW. And Zarya - 3 kW. And "NEM", which was supposed to provide 50 kW, will not come. So the full-fledged work of "Science" does not work out. We'll have to go again for e / e to bow to the Americans. Only for even more of it.
      4. I will not repeat that the functionality of Science has been cut off quite heavily. Her vehicle and engines are excluded from the general systems of the station, although they were originally intended for this very purpose.
      5. I can only repeat: "Science" is a suitcase without a handle. The benefit is minimal, it's a pity to throw it away. Let us quote again the master of Russian cosmonautics, journalist Rogozin: "NEM" and "Prichal" may not be sent to the ISS, as it is not entirely reasonable; discontinued. "And in that case, what about" Science "? Which is also supposedly designed for 15 years of work? Well Duc ... This is different, the stump is clear. excluding the net downtime I wrote about above.

        An interesting observation. The person writes - 13 experiments are planned. Is it a lot or a little? It is not clear to the ordinary reader. But if you add: "and for the sake of this insignificant quantity ", it is immediately clear - very little.
        So I read your comment, it seems interesting, like a person in the subject. There is something to object, but somehow I don’t want to and I cannot understand myself - what’s wrong, why don’t you want to get involved in the discussion and generally take your arguments seriously?

          As for Nauka, I would not have the slightest complaints about its launch if it had taken place ten years ago, as it was announced more than once.
          Today it is at least puzzling.
          Regarding "insignificance" ... The question is controversial ... A lot, a little ...
          Let's leave the Americans alone, everything is clear with them. But the experts have already made an interesting calculation. It follows from it that even Japan has more scientific publications about research at the station in English than Russia. But the Japanese visit the ISS much less often than the Russians.

            What nonsense are you talking about if you undertake to judge only by the publications of the Japanese, who will never be able to create their own orbital station. In general, you know at least something serious from our astronautics, besides journalistic articles, how secrecy is observed at enterprises, including for print media, how are former employees condemned for selling state secrets, how is long-term planning carried out?
            Who are you hanging on to here, if you decide to talk about "Science" with a clever air, without having the slightest idea about the plans of Roskosmos in relation to the entire ISS and our module? We read a lot of journalistic articles, like this article, and decided that this is the homespun truth? It is ridiculous to look at your attempts to evaluate our astronautics, even on the example of this module, which, by the way, began to be created long before Rogozin's appointment. Maybe I should say thank you to him that he nevertheless brought the matter to the end, and the station received this module, even if this is not a breakthrough in our cosmonautics, but the usual work of Roscosmos.

                You have already discussed how "successful" Americans will fly their launch vehicle at the end of this year, which is preparing to fly to the moon. I hope you have not forgotten - in four months I hope you will demonstrate to everyone their achievements with numbers, and also inform at least a year when the Americans will land on the moon.

                  Have I specified a specific start date for SLS? When? What kind of drinking is this? I am not a drinker, so this fact has been seen by someone else? It happens. And not like that.
                  If, after all, someone is interested in the start date, what prevents you from figuring it out yourself? It has been announced, and information about it is available even in the Russian Wiki. To teach you how to use a search engine?
                  The year of landing on the moon will depend on the success of the first SLS unmanned flights and Starship orbiters. What is not clear here? Do you need a drop-off date from me? With the indication of the year, month, date and exact time? Can you also voice the length of the lander's shadow in meters at the time of landing? So I am still in my mind and did not survive from it to make such predictions. I also advise you to hold back your fantasies for now.
                  About how and when (really on time? Before the data from NORAD and NASA?) Roscosmos experts write, everyone is already aware. After the nonsense about the supposedly normal operation of the space station (and this is after the delay in the time of the first orbit correction!) And "planned !!!" switching on the traffic police after docking to "use up fuel residues". Thank you for having a good laugh. With the latter case, however, the incident came out. The guys did not agree in time on how to present this embarrassment to the Russian people. Hence the inconsistency in the analysis. That software, it turns out, let down, then the human factor, or maybe the bolt flying modulo ruined the entire mass.

        The idea that it is necessary to launch at all costs, for leaving in the end on Earth fraught with punishments, has long visited the heads of the heads of Roscosmos. There is simply no other explanation.
        PS It's too early to say where the NEMs will be attached. K ISS or ROSS. In April Rogozin seemed to be going to send him to ROSS, but in June-July they started talking about the ISS. In light of the fact that ROSS may not take place, at least until 30 - 33 years.

Modern batteries on heterojunctions give about 300 watts. In space, the solar constant is higher, of the order of 1400 W (spectrum A0, it seems), which for ordinary silicon already gives 14-15 kW. What 2,5 kW are we talking about ???? For comparison, the Zvezda has 76 sq. m of batteries with a rated capacity of 13,8 kW, and these batteries are a hundred years old at lunchtime.

    About whether Roskosmos knows what to do or does not know. Roskosmos is engaged in manned astronautics, planetary exploration, the study of the Sun, astrophysics and the creation of artificial earth satellites. One of the important activities of the corporation is the development of tourism, both on earth (!) And in space. This is how the corporation's activities are briefly indicated in all reference books. The Roscosmos Corporation is, in essence, the successor to the former USSR Ministry of General Machine Building.
    But if you want to hear about breakthrough space exploration, new projects that require space flights to the planets of the solar system or beyond, if you need programs for the next 30-50-100 years, you should probably contact the Academy of Sciences. Well, or call someone in the garage ... Then Roskosmos will accept these plans as well.

The loose structure of the ISS must necessarily give, at the slightest impact / from spacecraft docking, from micrometeorites / additional loads, alternating stresses in structures - hence fatigue cracks, etc.

    The road to the ISS took eight whole days. This is a kind of anti-record
    This is a shame, gentlemen, because even in the country that the majority remembers and respects (not for cartoons and laudatory PR companies): the absolute record for a short docking belongs to the USSR: two unmanned ships in April 1968 docked 47 minutes after launch or 38 minutes after hatching.

    So what's the shame? That the unit flew close, with practically the same speed as the ISS? Or was it burning somewhere and the delay was catastrophic? Perhaps, different evolutions were carried out there, because the devil knows how old the project, and control algorithms have been used since then. Perhaps the management has already junked on the way. The engines, didn't they turn on from something? Or they confused the teams (I repeat, incredible junk was flying, in terms of project and implementation terms). Maybe there were no craftsmen who were developing this boodyagu, and the primer with the texts was taken apart by letter? Finally, high-speed connections require a lot of fuel. There, when docking. Science is a very massive thing, apparently, this resource was not enough there.

    Everything goes to what the plant in Space will do. If the plant does not work out, then there will be one workshop. And they will produce on it, which have no analogues in the Universe, carnations and horseshoes for the army.

    You confirmed. that the horses have nothing to do here. Horseshoes are not made here. Go to Avito.

    How tired of this endless whining and pessimism. There, in space, people work. Our people. Wish them better luck. Whoever says anything, but I'm glad that the module was sent and everything worked out.

    Well, they wrote off the money. Since 1995, how many? Billions. So they launched it so that no one would check it, and never what kind of "science" it is. Will flood. The journalist has become predictable.

    I would like to note that there is a third option. Elections. Crimea is already Ours. We won 5 times in Syria. The Olympics are going well, but not enough. Swan Lake is already dry. Hockey is far away. Space remains. And after the elections, at least the Pacific Ocean, accept and write off the cost overruns.

    I'm certainly glad that science flew and docked.

    Obviously this is a success!
    This is the right and right decision to send it. I will not touch upon corruption and other unpleasant topics.

    Science is, first of all, the success of young engineers, former students! They will have to collect Ross. When starting science, young people have gained invaluable experience!
    The experiments are declared necessary, again you need to revive the experience!
    With the launch of science, a new young generation of space explorers has appeared in our country, with pure souls, with enthusiasm and a desire to make new discoveries and achievements in space research. And this is priceless!

    Let's write a few facts
    1. ISS will be extended to 28 years, 1 year of science integration, total 6 years of work
    2. There is a benefit from Science, the problem is that the module took too long to build and it is already outdated, but of course, compared to other Russian modules, this is a huge step forward (again, the experience that needs to be passed, the following modules will be thought out taking into account the exploitation of science)
    3. The number of Russian experiments has always been less and less applied or commercial. And in general, a lot has been studied. Every year it becomes more and more difficult to find something useful for science or economics. Apart from growing crystals, I don't see anything useful here. In comparison with the American and even the Japanese segment, we are far behind in the return (scientific, technical, economic) from the station.
    4. In any case, I am glad that we finally launched it - this is an absolute plus for our astronautics!

      The pulsar navigation system in deep space, which will be tested on the "Science", is useless ??? !!! Why then did the Spectr - RG launch? Is viewing the sky in ultraviolet the same useless? Is this before the launch of a domestic telescope? "Drop - 2" is useless ??? Do you have any idea about the topic of the article?

    The ISS was fortunate enough to have the Nauka engines turned on AFTER docking.
    If an unauthorized activation would occur when approaching the station, the module could ram it or, at best, fly away to nowhere.

    True, reconnecting the module to a new station without fuel is difficult, but that is a matter of the future and problems can be solved as they arise

    In orbit, the same is happening as on earth. The gradual loss of qualified specialists, obsolescence and loss of technology, and a bunch of other problems. With the Soviet Union, a lot has gone and irrevocably.

    "... A bad option is one in which Roscosmos has a very poor idea of ​​what to do next ..."
    And who is there to represent if we are headed by an international journalist, and among the TWENTY leaders of Roscosmos, there is ONLY ONE professional - pilot-cosmonaut Sergey Konstantinovich Krikalev !!! The rest is all sorts of different managers. And they wanted to get rid of him because of the disagreement to arrange a film studio from the ISS in orbit. "
    Ugh, Russian space and science is turning into a branch of Kashchenko ...

    There will be no public debriefing of the "flights" from Roscosmos. It’s not those times in the yard, but you don’t need to beat the drum either. Everyone who prepared this launch and the module itself did everything in their power. There are no contradictions in the assessments of the reasons for the contingency situation. The module software was designed for integration with the station, which was impossible, otherwise they would not have kept control of the module by the MCC until the reset was completed or the remaining fuel was used up. And the on-board computer in this case should not have completed the docking operation normally by transferring control to the station, otherwise control would have been lost altogether. It depends on which side to judge, such will be the causes of the problems. Some will say a software failure, others will explain it by operators' carelessness. And of course Roskosmos will not publish the entire list of planned works and experiments in the media. Criticism must have non-contrived starting points if it claims to be objective. And there is not enough data for that.

    Idealists went to astronautics - not for money, why half of the people are there now - it's not entirely clear
    I am also an idealist, and used to bring to the ideal, everything that I do.
    Therefore, by education, he is an engineer technologist of an aircraft of the Soviet batch.
    As they said at our department - an error in the third decimal place is a 10 km miss past the target.
    The motive to write the above is that mediocrity and carelessness penetrate rocket technology.
    What we saw on the SCIENCE module is happening - endless failures and an unacceptable risk for the ISS crew - spontaneous engine starts by software is not a simple emergency. I'm not even saying that Roskosmos and Russia in its person have become a laughing stock not only for specialists, but also publicly humiliated all over the world ...
    In the USSR, responsible (and in this case, irresponsible) employees would have been removed long ago.
    And the Civil Code would have received a severe reprimand.

    On 9.9.21, an incident with smoke (fire?) Occurred in the Russian Zvezda module on the ISS, which is another confirmation of the above.
