The following situations were in the ticket: leakage of oxygen highways, which led to the transition to manual oxygen supply control; failure of the onboard computing system; The sensor failure at the TPK docking stage with the station. When preparing the ship to the “descent” on the Earth there was a depressurization of the low pressure pipe of the motor installation pneumatic system, the false response of the pressure regulator in the descent apparatus and refusing the ship separation program to the compartments. As part of work on the TPK simulator “Union” “Flight” was translated from a 4-twist diagram of rapprochement on 2 daily.
