Crews MKS-65 started final stage of training

Today, on March 22, 2021, a duplicate crew of the long-term expedition of the ISS-65 as part of the astronauts of Roscosmos Anton Dracker, Oleg Artemieva and NASA Astronaut Ann McClein began a training “flight” on the simulator of the piloted ship “Union MS”. The first stage of the examination integrated workouts was held on the Russian segment of the International Space Station and for the successful implementation of all tasks received a “five” from the examination committee.

The same high assessment was made by the main crew of the ISS-65 as part of the astronauts of Roscosmos Oleg Novitsky, Peter Dubrova and Nasa Astronaut Marka Vanda Haya. They perfectly coped with abnormal situations during the examination comprehensive workout on the Soyuz MS ship. Today, changing places with dumplings, the main crew began testing on the Russian segment.

“The most significant event of the 65th space expedition should be to remove into the orbit of the” Science “module, its docking from the ISS and conducting commissioning works, if we speak the earthly language,” Pavel Vlasov said the head of the cosmonaut preparation center. – All this requires a lot of preparatory work related to outcomes to open space, rejoicing ships and other activities. But I must say that our crews are well prepared. Fartherners Peter Dubrov and Mark Wanda Hai worked the program of extracurricular activities and the 66th expedition too. We wait with excitement when the ISS-65 crew arrives at the station. In the professionalism of astronauts and astronauts are sure. “

Pavel Vlasov recalled that more than 50 experiments and research in the field of space biology and physiology were included in the program of the 65th expedition, the research of the Earth from Space, the physics of cosmic rays and in other areas.

“All experiments are noteworthy. For example, in the direction” Space Materials “first planned jointly with the NASA experiment Real. It will be held in the American Module “Destini” using their gradient furnace. The goal is to study the rheology (deformation of the fluidity of the substance) aluminum in microgravity conditions, “said the head of the CPC.

In the course of exam complex training, the crews do not put experiments, they demonstrate their skills in conducting research at other phases of preparation. In exam complex training, the main thing is to successfully cope with full-time and abnormal situations, showing the Commission a high degree of readiness to fulfill the flight program.
