Space everydays are like a remote, live and work in one room. However, even tiny apartments are spacious modules, besides, much easier than aircraft are arranged. In order for the crews to feel the characteristics of the stay in a closed space, they were accustomed to the situation of the space house, they worked the necessary skills, they need to hold the so-called typical flight days on the simulator of the Russian segment of the International Space Station.
The first to the station “settled” the commander of the duplicate crew of the ISS-66, the astronaut Roscosmos Oleg Artemyev. An experienced cosmonaut, which made two flights, clearly fulfilled the tasks associated with the current activities of Russian crews in orbit, and successfully coped with abnormal situations that were modeled by the instructors of the cosmonaut preparation center. In particular, the astronaut had to solve problems with communication.
The second half of the “working day” crew spent on the simulator of the Russian segment already in full force. Actress Alena Mordovin and the operator-producer Alexei Dudin joined Oleg Artemyev. Participants in the space flight are preparing for a short 12-day expedition to the ISS. Now they need to strengthen the knowledge of the device of the Russian segment of the station and to work out the skills of the fulfillment of household operations. For example, they should be able to warm up the food independently and fill food packages with water.
Given the specifics of the upcoming flight, the TSP instructors tried to make a workout as much as possible for the creative part of the crew. Within the framework of the 66th Expedition on the ISS, the shooting of the “Challenge” feature film will be held, which is part of a unique scientific and educational project. Perform this work to be in short time. Therefore, in addition to the joint training of a TV reporting in the cyclicogram of workout, especially for flight participants included additional tasks related to the use of photo and video equipment.
In addition, newcomes should know how to find the necessary equipment, already at the station. They need to carefully explore the device of the Russian segment of the ISS, so as not to spend time at this time, being in orbit. Alena Mordovin and Alexey Dudin were able to test their knowledge, solving certain tasks. Also during the training, the duplicating crew coped with an emergency, responding to an ammonia emission signal to the station atmosphere.
Typical Flight Days on the simulator of the Russian segment of the International Space Station are also provided for the main crew of the ISS-66, which consists of a cosmonaut of Roscosmos Anton Sabelers, as well as Actress Julia Peresilde and Director-director Klim Shipenko. Then both crew will take part in comprehensive exam training. The start of the ship “Soyuz MS-19” with the set of the “Challenge” project is scheduled for October 2021.
