Oleg Kononenko crew worked abnormal situations in event of a leading

On the basis of the Nogin Rescue Center of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia undergoes training cosmonauts, aimed at working out the crew actions after planting a descent apparatus on a water surface. On Thursday, June 10, 2021, the crew of the 69th long expedition to the International Space Station as part of the astronauts of Roscosmos Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chuba and Andrei Fediaeva took part in the so-called short training.

She really lasts not long because the proposed circumstances require the maximum speed of action from astronauts. When leaks in the descent apparatus, the crew must urgently leave it. For an operation on self-space, 8 minutes is given.

“When the team comes to leave the ship, we must put on gloves, rescue belts, fasten the blocks of wearable emergency stock (called). Make it yourself very difficult due to the fact that the space is limited and, moreover, the space jumps. Therefore The crew commander helps the rest of the equipment, “said Andrei Fedyaev cosmonaut.

“While in the central chair, the commander has the opportunity to help both the astronaut who left him, and to the right. I first leave the descent device, otherwise my colleagues will not be able to get out, – explained the commander of the crew of the ISS-69 Oleg Kononenko . – In general, liability for the crew lies on the commander. If he managed to organize the work properly, the training will be successful and all tasks will be executed. “

During training cosmonaut, the test, Nikolai Chub, took congratulations on his birthday. Holidays – no reason to violate the process of preparing for the flight.

“If you’re lucky to meet a birthday in orbit, I will probably not forget, but the fact that he coincided with training, everyday life,” said Nikolai Chub. “For me, this is not the first cycle of training on the water. Usually at the time of their holding it was very It is hot, the temperature in the descent apparatus exceeded 40 degrees. Now it is much cooler, to train easier. “

Andrei Fedyaev and Nikolai Chub are preparing for the first expedition to orbit. Their commander Oleg Kononenko made four flights, he almost always spent his birthday in the working environment.

I was born on June 21, and this day usually accounted for a period of preparation for the flight: either jumped with a parachute, or survived, or passed the exams. It happened in space to celebrate a birthday, “said Oleg Kononenko.

This year “Water survival” started on June 7, 2021 and will be completed in the third decade of the month. Six crews, in addition to the astronauts of Roscosmos and Astronauts, NASA included candidates for astronauts and participants in the space flight, will work out survival skills in the occurrence of abnormal situations on the water surface. In addition to the “short” there are “long” and “dry” training, each of which differs in the view and volume of the tasks performed.
