"Albert Einstein" ran into disagreement

The hatches of the European space truck ATV-4 ("Albert Einstein") have remained closed since Saturday, when the unit docked with the International Space Station (ISS). The reason for the delay was not technical problems, but disagreements between experts from NASA and Roskosmos: experts assess the danger of the cargo arriving at the station in different ways.

"The condition of the ATV is good. However, the opening of the hatches scheduled for the morning was postponed due to the ongoing discussion between the Russian side and NASA about the exact content of the upcoming operations involving the crew at the entrance to the ship. The hatch opening schedule is being revised, which should be carried out within a few days "- quotes Redorbit mission leader Alberto Novelli.

Specialists from the Russian Mission Control Center, who were concerned about possible bacterial contamination or fungal contamination of part of the ATV-4 cargo, asked not to open the hatch. They do not consider the level of pollution dangerous for the crew, but nevertheless insisted on revising the procedure for entering the truck, including the use of antifungal agents. It is planned that the hatches will be open on Tuesday.

ATV is an automatic truck designed to deliver fuel, scientific equipment, products, air and water to the ISS. With the help of ATV engines, the station’s orbit is being corrected, which, without a periodic repetition of this procedure, would have long since entered the atmosphere.

ATV-4 "Albert Einstein" docked to the ISS 15 June, delivering more than 6,5 tons of cargo to the station: fuel, water, oxygen, products, experimental equipment, facilities. In October, the ship will be undocked and flooded in the Pacific Ocean.

Recall that on board the ISS colonies of microorganisms actively reproduce. At the beginning of the year, a number of publications appeared in the press, in which it was suggested that the ISS would soon be destroyed due to biological hazards. A representative of the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences at the end of January reported that the ISS crews treat the internal surfaces of the station with bactericidal agents to prevent such problems. In total, more than 250 species of microorganisms were found on board, which the crew takes a large amount of time to fight.

Monopoly makes a profit
Hatches will certainly open, but everyone will understand who is in charge

Wait. Aliens are coming soon. Not in our segment naturally ...

[Santa bear]

but only in our ISS segment have weapons

"In total, more than 250 species of microorganisms were found on board, and the crew takes a lot of time to fight them." - Star Wars. It's not funny at all. It's a pity if because of this you really have to close the station

... The station will have to be closed for other reasons ...
Including political ones.
And Russia itself already needs a sovereign orbiter. :)
And the Chinese are on their way, asking ...

[il grand casino]

Need of course. But the station is a lot of money. Who agrees to build it only at the expense of their budget? With this money you can build as many summer cottages (you can also buy a medel there)!

[Constantine]

It is possible that the infection was intentional because Amers are not going to extend the life of the ISS, and ours, judging by long-standing statements, were going to extend for themselves. In any case, in space, security measures are not superfluous.

The Western European module is infected with the bacilli of tolerance, liberalism and пиother pathogens of decomposition.

1. The ISS commander is the representative of Russia at the moment. On the ship - his order is law. Who does not agree is a riot. Rebels are hung out on the yard. Deliver yards on the next flight of Progress.
2. urgently run Onishchenko there!

Yes, fig! Still dragging into orbit for high price. Are these rails sticking out of the ISS in all directions? Tie a sling by the leg, and push Vasya the cat out of the hatch. The oxygen current should be left a bit, so that, therefore, not immediately ...

Zero gravity however ..... it is simpler - in a bag - and at will ....

"In total, more than 250 species of microorganisms were found on board, and the crew takes a lot of time to fight them." brush your teeth and even wash.
Of neither dangerous? !! Microorganisms are present everywhere, there are pathogens, there are natural companions of man, ....... Some kind of games, most likely not biological, but political

[Dimani]

colonies of microorganisms actively propagate onboard the ISS

what are they? would open the "vents" and ventilate the room .... first in the American segment

[KazaK Bo]

... maybe Onishchenko is already there ?! After the MIR-2 ISS was flooded by 90% for biological reasons, I won’t be surprised at anything ....

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

Hmm how tenacious life in space.
The absence of gravity can play a trick on bacteria and viruses; it is not known with what properties a new organism can appear and whether there is an antidote to it.

Opp-pa !. So then finally nobody will reach there! They will die in orbit, but they won’t get inside!

You don’t have to hang anyone, it’s inhumane, just give a spacesuit and drop it on the moon. Onishchenko is also not necessary, it is inhumane in relation to bacteria.

[individual]

The surest way to clean the space truck and the International Space Station from bacteria I admit the "Fisherman" method - send for the prevention of Onishchenko.

[Ilyas]

How little we know :(, I recently read (unfortunately I didn’t find a source) about bacteria found in sewers. They do not survive in any standard biological nutrient medium — they die out. The question is, what do they eat then?

And a man imagines himself the king of nature ... and there are still those who produce pseudoscience and pseudo-theories, deny modern science (which has more questions than answers), denies the scientific method of cognition, approaches and methods, and sits and clicks on the computer keys, successfully so .. uses the product of scientific achievements :(

God is merciful, gave people a bit of reason, so that they could know and understand at least a hundredth of his universe, his laws of the universe. A herd eats (consumes), shaves, cuts to dryness the green meadows (resources) of the earth, and does not even want to come off, raise its head, and look at the sky.

[Vtel]

Yes, in the light of the events taking place in the world, there is no confidence in Western bullshit, which you can pick up from them, and then you can be healed all your life. Bleeding their truck with natol.

Pull under the keel of the station. No spacesuit

The ISS is not that for you. There was a case, back at the MIR station, when bacteria got into the air duct. Problems began, the apogee was that this infection began to "eat" the window (began to grow cloudy). And our cosmonaut felt bad. On his return to earth, the whole institute examined him. The analysis showed that a yeast bacterium was found in the stomach (do not judge strictly, I do not know how to do it correctly, not a biochemist). But we do not know how to treat it, she underwent a mutation at the station. So it’s better to stay awake than not to stay awake.

In general, the real problem is a mutation in space radiation and then return to earth.

Here is this "horror" in detail:

"Alexander Serebrov, flight engineer of the MIR orbital station, had to prepare the equipment for a spacewalk. When Serebrov opened one of the spacesuits, a wave of green dust rushed onto him, literally. On Earth, dust settles, and in space, in zero gravity, Several layers of mold formed inside the suit - all this the team had to clean with improvised means. The mold and dust were collected and sent to the dust collector. A few days later they noticed that the water at the station had an unpleasant taste. A week later, a pungent smell appeared in the compartments.

Hero of the Soviet Union, Alexander Serebrov: “We asked to change the column. We were not allowed. Then we noticed that our condensate pump stops every half an hour. A siren buzzes, something stops there and stops pumping. ”

Then the astronauts dismantled the column and determined that it was necessary to replace the pump, but this did not help. And soon, Serebrov noticed that the entire column filter was clogged with poisonous yellow crumbs.

Hero of the Soviet Union, Alexander Serebrov: “At the entrance there is a net, I look, it is clogged with some kind of crumbs. Such semi-rubber semi-plastic yellowish. Such cubes. ”

The granules of unknown origin were again shaken off in a dust collector - they decided to sort it out on Earth. The crew was about to return home, but the flight was extended for 2 months. The astronauts had no choice but to fix the problems themselves. Then Serebrov decided to make out the column.

Hero of the Soviet Union, Alexander Serebrov: “I discovered, I look there too, some pieces at the ends. I put a wire in there and pull out a XNUMX meter worm from there. He was flexible, yellow, with dark brown spots. Like a snake like that. ”

The astronauts experienced a severe shock from what they saw. How could this creature end up in an airtight orbital water system? The team reported the incident to the flight control center. The expedition was urgently prepared for return to Earth, but the astronauts did not have much time. One micro-bacterium, in space, mutated so that it could degenerate into a whole slug. Under the influence of cosmic radiation, viruses began to slowly destroy the MIR station. One after the other, the most important devices went out of order, in particular, the fire detector failed. The astronauts ceased to control the situation, a fire could occur at MIR at any moment. Without a fire detector and smoke detector, such a situation could lead to disaster.

Alexander Serebrov sent his dangerous find on a cargo spaceship to Earth. The crew had to spend a few more days in space. Already at the station, Serebrov felt unwell: he was constantly dizzy, nauseous, for several days the astronaut lay with temperature.

After the return of Alexander Serebrov to Earth, the symptoms of a strange disease began to intensify. Extreme pain in the abdomen, nausea and constant weakness did not allow normal life. Alexander Serebrov turned to the Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology for help, but the doctors could not make an accurate diagnosis.

Hero of the Soviet Union, Alexander Serebrov: “They say: Well, you have yeast bacteria in your intestines, but we have no analogues on Earth - it's a mutant, so we don't know how to treat it.” Alexander Serebrov understands that most likely he will never recover. The astronaut can only hope that the virus will not show new symptoms. "

[CrazyMishka]

About microorganisms, I think many remember the ending of the film "War of the Worlds", let them live. I think there will be antibiotics in the medicine cabinet.
ps I hope our "MIR-2" will be launched, and our science will move on without looking back at tolerasts :)
