Soyuz MS-17 returns to Earth after 6 months in space

–

The Soyuz MS-17 returns to Earth after its launch on October 14, 2020. This work represents the first use of the planned Ultrafast aircraft or the two orbital Soyuz probes. Three crew members are brought to the International Space Station on this mission. NASA International Space Station (ISS) crew, Kathleen Robbins, smiles after landing on Earth in a Soyuz MS-17 capsule.

The mission includes Russian space exploration captains and technicians, Russia (Roscosmos) and the United States (NASA), respectively. Soyuz has a place in many sciences, including one of the longest-running ESA tests.

Scattered around the International Space Station, these orange pockets use dosimeters to collect radiation levels. The experiment has been monitoring radiation levels since 2009.

Soyuz MS-17 returns to Earth with three ISS crews

Launched by a Space Travel Insider, the Soyuz MS-17 capsule landed in a remote area of ​​Kazakhstan on Saturday, April 17, 2021. The capsule consists of three crew members of the International Space Station (ISS). The three crew members are NASA’s Kathleen Robbins and two Roscosmos astronauts, Sergei Ryzykov and Sergei Good-Sverkov.

In the original project, astronaut Nikolai Sub 2 was selected as the flight engineer, waiting for NASA to decide whether to buy a seat to fly in Soyuz. In May 2020, NASA purchased space in Soyuz and replaced astronaut Kathleen Robbins with Mark D. Switch with Vande Hay.

Initially, astronauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Wagner were selected as commanders and flight technicians.

Due to the Kovit-19 epidemic, Roscosmos operated two astronauts safely so that the aircraft could operate without delay. It is not certain whether NASA plans to add their astronauts to the crew.

The engine of the Soyuz MS-17 aircraft burns for orbital combustion

The Russian space agency Roskosmos explained that the Russian Soyuz MS-17 aircraft engine was working to burn in orbit. The plane was carrying astronauts Sergei Ryzykov and Sergei Kot Sverkov as well as American astronaut Kathleen Robbins.

To carry out the operation, a 3 crew orbit burns for 4.5 minutes. The plane took off from the International Space Station (ISS) at 4:34 a.m. Moscow time. On the other hand, the search and rescue air force has left Russia’s Central Military Region. They went to the landing site, where the Soyuz MS-17 would return to Earth and land in Kazakhstan.

The team deployed several helicopters and planes to ensure search and rescue efforts during the landing. At least 12 Mi-8 MTV 5-1 helicopters flew over the Russian military, and two On-12 and On-26 transport planes departed from the Central Military District at Jiskaskan, Biconur and Karakanda airports. The recovery area is located 147 kilometers southeast of Jiskaskan.

The search team is complete with equipment, a rescue team and a medical team. The exact location of the landing will be determined by the on-26 crew. In addition, orders have been issued for ground recovery teams for major and alternative landing areas. It aims to bring Soyuz MS-17 to Earth with guaranteed safety.

Break records and travel just 3 hours into space

One American astronaut and two Russian astronauts broke the record for the longest travel time in space by just 3 hours. The Soyuz MS-17 capsule rolled off Pykonor Cosmotrome in Kazakhstan at 10:45 am local time. Three hours and three minutes later, the Soyuz MS-17 capsule landed on the ISS after orbiting Earth twice.

Before using the small boosters for navigation, the spacecraft must adapt to the speed and altitude of the space station. The Demo-2 mission also had the disadvantage of being forced to retreat after the last crew was launched.

On this last voyage, it was not only faster than the previous voyages, but also any cargo mission. The Soyuz capsules will be installed on the International Space Station until October 21. The capsules will be used by NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy. Later, astronauts from Russia, Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan. They will bring Soyuz MS-17 back to Earth. (R10 / HR Online)
