Hydrolaboratory CPC im.Gagarina
Inside the pool movable platform lifting capacity of 40 tons. She secured the overall layout of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), the spacecraft "Soyuz TMA" and other equipment placed at the station.
During the dive, the astronauts used the so-called ventilation layouts suits, the only difference from a real connection to an external air source. Accordingly, backpack life support system is replaced by the overall layout. Since the work under water is associated with a certain danger of astronauts in spacesuits accompany divers in light diving gear.
Dive into the water creates an environment very similar to the state of weightlessness. There is even a special term - "gidronevesomost." In the context of this gidronevesomosti future astronauts learn to work in the open space outside the device and study modules of the ISS. It also tested a different technique. According themselves astronauts who visited the open space, the identity of sensations is 95%.
Additional similarities with the vacuum provided by the special properties of water. Water with such a small density is not anywhere else, in fact it is distilled. We'll soon have felt when all ponabrali goods, flopped, and immediately began to get rid of them. In a long five, still brand new, with steel tank trucks, I do not swim. In addition, the outside pool on the technical floors are specially powerful spotlights, lights which also adds a feeling of complete lack of any substance around. I tell: full space
Along the perimeter of the walls are 45 windows, through which you can conduct kinofotosemku and visual observation of the activities of the astronauts during training. "Exposure" in the buoyancy is not constant: it is immersed in a pool those modules that are used for training at the moment. A special mechanism lifts the platform from the bottom to the surface, the waste is removed and put another. The identity of iron - a wholly-owned. Before each Gadget, hooks up to each and every millimetrika
The platform on which a briefing is held - it is like the main part of the ISS. And it is already moving away from the various branches - modules
On the left - a multifunctional laboratory module, MLM. Designed for scientific experiments. In space, until it was the first time just fly in September with Elena Serova - Russia's first female astronaut in the past 15 years. Right (top picture on it in the lower left corner) - module MIM-1, also known as "small research module»
Recently cosmonaut Oleg Kotov in his blog wrote that the new module to the ISS MLM are waiting
Before MIMom- airlock. Right now, the task is fulfilled her transfer to mime on MLM. Its mission - to scientific experiments in outer space without leaving a person. It works on the principle of torpedo: by ship to a special area set equipment, the process of locking, the hatch opens and a platform leaves out
Incidentally, the yellow crane on the opposite side - not for handling modules. They cling of astronaut that's how it looks (Press and Information Office of the CPC)
ISS itself, by the way, at this point looks like this.
In the center of the module "SM" - service module. This is the basic module where the astronauts live. There are their cabins and in the same place they spend most of the time. This is particularly the part where practiced experiments that literally held on June 19th in the open space
Inside the hollow models. For training need only the outer surface
Yellow rails (in the previous picture you can see them well) - so-called highway junction. It is for them the astronauts move around the outside of the station, protecting themselves with two carabiners. In training, lightweight diving equipment there is such exercise - remove the fins and crawl on this railing. Obviously, you do not need to be an astronaut, to repeat such
In other words, a chance to see exactly what he sees the astronaut during the exit, there is absolutely every
But the bulk of training is still being held in spacesuits. It is called "Orlan-MK-GN" and work in it very much, even very, very hard. For instance, one compression glove - a force of 16 kg. How many of these have to do compressions, moving on the rail? Plus still work to do, there is a nut twist and all that ...
"It is believed that during this time of Gagarin was dangerous. No, guys, space is dangerous now. In December, that's in the news saying - set a new record for the duration of the spacewalk, 8:00, cheers. And not a word that is planned, it was 6:00! »
In principle, our astronauts have long been coming to the turn of the 8-hour work, but in normal conditions. It is very important to the proper distribution of power - the most difficult in the beginning, and the rest for later. Plus psychological readiness, because from the point of view of physiology already 3 hours in a spacesuit - is the limit.
"I have a lot of work in the suit, and after 3 hours is not just difficult - already hurt. He iron! And after six I just willed it shifted: just think that now need to squeeze his hand and makes the muscles to do it. Physical training will not help - after 3 hours you will die, you only take in this suit. Only willpower, only attitude that will have to overcome the pain ».
And in that time, just after 6 hours of banal failed. It was at that moment when he had to go back. So it has turned "a new record" - the guys just saved station.
In short, it is good that we have such wonderful instructors who train the astronauts such wonderful, but even better is that we - not astronauts, and we can swim for fun
At the same time to enjoy the local beauty. In the lobby of one of the buildings, for example, there are panels showing that great, but terrible Tsereteli iron monsters not only knows how to do, but that's the beauty of this
Meanwhile, the next picture is transmitted to the ISS. Specifically, at this moment - American compartment
In 2010, the buoyancy was 30 years old. Not without pleasure found in the list of achievements of his name Course Director
By the way, in December hydrolaboratory closed for serious renovation, so if there was a desire to go into space, it is desirable to implement as soon as possible
A crew of our ship saying goodbye to you, finally, again quoting our wonderful guide:
"When we sit here behind this barbed wire, all the problems of production, to be honest, we think that our space industry is not interesting. But looking at your eyes, I think it will be on Mars and apple blossom. And you bring us to the bull's-eye ».
