Multifunctional module "Science" integrated into the Russian segment of the ISS

The new multifunctional laboratory module "Science" has been integrated into the Russian segment of the ISS. This was announced by the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, making a corresponding entry on Twitter.

According to the entry, the air was cleaned in the new module, the crew entered Nauka, the module is fully integrated into the Russian segment of the space station. Earlier, the fuel system of the module was purged with helium to ensure the safety of the crew, after which Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov entered the module, where they took air samples and conducted a visual inspection of the compartment.

At the same time, according to the negotiations of the crew with the MCC, a bolt flew out when the hatch of the Nauka module was opened.

Visually everything was in order. There is no dust. When we opened the hatch, we saw how a two centimeters long bolt flew out from there.

- the media quoted Novitsky as saying.

Initially, the transition to the new module was planned for Thursday, but the astronauts were unable to open the hatch due to the pressure difference.

The Russian module "Nauka" docked to the ISS on Thursday, July 29, after eight days of flight. After docking, the module abnormally switched on the engines and turned the station around 45 degrees. To stabilize the ISS, the engines of the Russian Progress spacecraft and the Zvezda module had to be used. Later, Roskosmos said that a software failure was the cause of the engines' operation.

Now it remains to find out where the bolt fell out from, or did someone forget it there?
It turns out that during the flight he jumped around the whole room there?

The unscrewed bolt lay and lay, that's where it was not screwed, that's the question?

[Mityay65]

They could have forgotten, he could have just rolled. It happens, nothing special.

[tovarich-andrey.62goncharov]

A trifle, of course. Rolled up. And burned all the chains in this segment. To hammer the direction sensors with a mallet upside down, too, a diploma is needed ... I wonder how the joint venture feels in the coffin? For less "trifles" he began to disassemble the launch vehicle ...

burned out all the chains in this segment

Of course, because all terminal panels and distribution boards throughout the module are completely open, not insulated and in no way protected from free access. Close - I don't want to.

[Avior]

From the experience of an electrician.
The fact that one person insulated, another can always close.

[alekseykabanets]

Greetings!
Don't you know that there are voices of the enemy saying that there, in Science, the engine spontaneously turned on, it seems to have turned the station around? It seems that a commission was appointed jointly with NASA.

[Avior]

The LV goes into orbit with overloads, it could have closed something, it was lucky.
It's time to investigate who forgot the bolt and whether all the bolts are tightened in place

[Vadim237]

Now the ISS crew will have to check it.

One gets the impression that the module was docked in spite of it.

A bolt flying out towards the crew (albeit a bolt) is the coolest symbol
(in Russian-speaking brains anyway).

[A. Privalov]

The bolt could roll somewhere during assembly, but "floated up" in zero gravity.

It's good that everything worked out and the docking and integration ended well.

Good luck and success to everyone there!

[Reviews]

Quote: A. Privalov

The bolt could roll somewhere during assembly, but in zero gravity it "floated up"

And this is the most likely reason. Here, for example, what one hundred percent americos writes about the first flight of the shuttle "Discovery":

“A handful of small washers, bolts, and nuts floated in front of our faces. The X-Acto knife swirled close to my right ear. Discovery was in the factory. During this time, hundreds of workers poked with wrenches in its cockpit. Although NASA employees followed strict rules, minimizing the risk of losing something in the ship, completely preventing the fall of certain parts was unrealistic. Now, in zero gravity, they came to life and got out of their hidden corners and cracks. "

As for the "handful", he probably exaggerated, but the very phenomenon of loss, of course, was.

[Anatole Klim]

Quote: A. Privalov

The bolt could roll somewhere during assembly, but "floated up" in zero gravity.

In Soviet times, being a cadet, I had a chance to undergo an internship at one of the military factories where military equipment was produced. So the worker was conditionally given ten bolts and a mounting card with the places where these bolts were screwed in, the worker climbed into the body and screwed it in, got out and immediately signed in the magazine that he had installed. Next a technician or an engineer-controller would climb in, check the work, get out and also sign. In short, there was tight control, but here is space technology, control should be triple, or even quadruple. Eh, no words, some thoughts about the culture and organization of production.

[A. Privalov]

Quote: Anatol Klim

Eh, no words, some thoughts about the culture and organization of production.

Moreover, before being sent into space, all devices were rotated in all planes and shaken (slightly) on special stands. In this way, accidentally forgotten or lost parts were identified.
My institute, once even developed a similar stand, on which it was possible to rotate the entire working compartment of the Salyut station absolutely noiselessly (!).

[Mityay65]

I'm not sure that Science was shaken entirely - the weight of the module is 20 tons, the stand could not be found. And it doesn't have to be. Vibration tests for components and devices inside are sufficient to identify the natural vibration frequency.
But they must have rotated to reveal the true eccentricity along the axes and make corrections.
Bolt lay quietly, he really wanted to go into space and knew that he had only one chance ...
PS He could not unscrew, all the bolts are counterbalanced. They could not forget to fasten it either, it is controlled more than once.

but how did you manage to connect the connector upside down?

[sifgame]

well, they didn't forget, they screwed it up, the rest is details)

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

and plus and minus will change, but ....
screwed, LADLY, no matter who could throw the terminals

It's good if this is the last "gift".
In Soviet times, the personnel serving the aircraft were "screwed up" until all the tools and materials issued for routine maintenance were found and registered.

[Ross xnumx]

It's time to integrate domestic modules into the domestic CS, and not to use handouts from enemies who put sticks in the wheels. And events of this nature can be announced on the Russia 24 channel (it is possible through a press secretary, if he himself cannot put words together).

This was announced by the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, making a corresponding entry on Twitter.

Let him get his salary on Twitter, conscientious performer.

Roskosmos just showed everything live, but on VO it was ignored, they began to cover the event only after an abnormal start of the engines.

Well, Science should become the basis for the future Russian station.
Our "partners" did everything to prevent the Science module from entering space.
But all the same, ours could.

On the contrary, it shouldn't. She has genes and a pedigree from the mid-2027s, a resource until 2030. With reservations, until XNUMX. Is it necessary for fresh?

Yes, yes, Obama personally poured metal shavings into fuel tanks and closed the plant where they were previously produced.

Respect to the management team.
Few have slept in the last 10 days.
It can be assumed that they all turned gray ...
Their feat is great, although it is invisible to most people.

[Mityay65]

And what is the feat?
If you know the system and are ready to operate with it, then no feat. But if you don't know and are not ready ...
And they slept normally, I'm sure.

Quote: U-58

Oh, I think, programmers and testers should have sat, those who tested Science at the MIC at the stand and gave the go-ahead for start-up. Well, the manufacturers of on-board computers.
The testers had to identify all the bugs at the stage of testing at the stand.

[U-58]

Maybe there were those who (in your opinion) SHOULD turn gray.
But who got the gray hair in reality?
Only experts can assess the scale of the incident.
And the efforts to overcome the numerous shortcomings are worthy of a story, if not a novel ...

[nobody75]

Why do you dislike programmers so much?
Sincerely

[Disant]

Few have slept in the last 10 days. It can be assumed that they all turned gray ...

what are you catching up with - everything worked, everything flew and docked.
only one whose head would roll in case of failure could turn gray.
Well, the insurers were probably also nervous - they probably fell off well there.

[U-58]

... although invisible to most people ...

[Fungus]

That is great. Well done.

[tralflot1832]

All the same, since 2000 the ISS has been flying with cosmonauts, maybe it's time after 2024 to think about point Nemo, and the Roscosmos designer doesn't seem to mind.

[tovarich-andrey.62goncharov]

Is the BOLT an Airborne Lonely Levitating Torpedo? Hmm ... why 20? Didn't you agree on 125? For extreme or 150 for each eye!

The Russian module "Nauka" docked to the ISS on Thursday, July 29, after eight days of flight.

I watched this action on the network, it is very impressive, and the module seems very big even in comparison with the whole complex!

[slipped]

Quote: businessv

and the module seems rather big even in comparison with the whole complex!

With the arrival of the Wharf module, it will visually become even larger. A decision was made to send the next module to Baikonur.
The launch is scheduled for November 24th.

Meanwhile, another heavy Angara was taken to Plesetsk.

Quote: tralflot1832

We need to launch our own station, but it would not hurt to fly to the moon.

Duc "Nauka" both docked and undocked for the next docking, after launching its station. This was discussed on the Roscosmos website.

[Mouse]

This was announced by the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, making a corresponding entry on Twitter.

I'm just wondering ... Is Twitter an official channel? Trump subtype ???

[out of habit]

Someone put a bolt on the module.

[Azis]

ISS "partners" admit ours to their station segments literally on schedule and it is not known what they are doing there and what they are watching. Therefore, it was decided to rotate the station by 45 degrees using the "Science" module. Since the "partners" did not make a fuss, it means they did everything right. This bolt, ours needed to hammer with a space sledgehammer into the hole that the Americans drilled and where the air leaks from, they just put it in a prominent place.

[Yurahip]

The bolt is undershot, the trainees probably.

[tarakan]

The feeling that "everything is breaking with us, give money to a new station

[Vadim237]

Today we made the final decision on the Ross station, it will be built.

[ultra]

Well, in fact, it is already under construction, the question is only in the terms that have been announced, they are very optimistic. IMHO.

[Vadim237]

Roscosmos will now have a quick problem with the main financial sinker Khrunichev, money for space will be allocated without interruption, and the organization of work, as well as the detection of defects, go uphill every year, as well as the modernization of production facilities and the introduction of new technical production technologies.

[Linxs]

Tin.
It's good that everything is fine.
But the bolt and the firing of the motors .... are so bad.

[Vadim237]

Neither one nor the other is scary. The station is docked and the crew on board is doing fine.

[Linxs]

I mean, not scary?
Isn't it scary that the 2cm bolt unscrewed?
This is from what they immediately saw ...
Or is it not scary that the engines turned on unscheduled?

It's good that everything ended well and I will hope that this is where the fun ends

[ultra]

There is great doubt that the bolt inside the module is somehow connected with the fuel system or engines.

[Vadim237]

Isn't it scary that the 2cm bolt unscrewed? It couldn’t be unscrewed because all connections were locked. It just fell and fell during assembly. "Or is it not scary that the engines turned on unscheduled" - Software malfunctions or something like standard temporary difficulties in space technology and not only.

That is, a module that accelerates to a speed of 8 km / s and has extra or not fixed parts do not bother you at all?
Just think the bolt unscrewed ... think the speed varies from 0 to 8 km / s ...
For the sake of interest, drop a 2cm bolt from the height of a 9-storey building onto a car. See what will happen. And yes. The speed will be 9.8 m / s + -.


Then multiply the speed to 8 km / s and think about how much damage the bolt can do ...

I can help you with this.

On the left in the photo you can see the outer aluminum armor 102 mm thick. protecting the supercritical blocks of the ISS, which got a piece of plastic like this:

... at 7 meters per second.

On the right in the same photo, you see a 38 mm fragment. aluminum protection into which a 6x12 mm bolt fell tangentially. at about the same speed.




Funny? Why aren't you laughing?

Just think of a multi-billion dollar project and the lives of astronauts are decided by one bolt ...

It's funny, after all. Yes?

I have a question for you: should I sit or sit?
The words, at first glance, are similar, but what fate do you, nevertheless, predict for them?

A case from one's life:
Once, at a student aerospace conference in Korolev, I was on the organizing committee (I am a teacher in Baumank). And there were our delegations and delegations from the USA, Greece, Great Britain and a couple of other countries.
And at the opening it turned out that there were not enough flagpoles for the flags, because one was broken! And they sealed it with duct tape, hung up the Russian flag.
And then I look at him thoughtfully and quietly utter, with such a Georgian accent: "Interesno ... What would Comrade Beria say to that? .."
About ten people nearby turned at me with CRAZY eyes!
I still smile ...
