On Monday, December 20, 2021, Alexander Misurkin’s astronaut Alexander Misurnkin returned from the expedition to the ISS, which lasted 12 days. However, regardless of how long the space travel, during pre-flight training and on returning to Earth, astronauts participate in the “Constellation LM” experiment.
The purpose of the research is to explore the possibilities of a person when flying to far space and work on the surfaces of the Moon and Mars. It is important to analystly analyze how the factors of the space flight affect the ability of a person to move, manage technique, perform various tasks. First, the skills of complex operator activity cosmonaut demonstrates to flight, and after the expedition to orbit performs similar actions on the same simulators. Comparison of indicators and makes it possible to draw conclusions about the degree of safety of operating skills.
The first postolete study within the Experiment of the “Constellation of LM” for Alexander Misurkin took place on a specialized exit-2 simulator about a day after his return from the ISS. Cosmonaut completed operations related to the surface of another planet: Opening the outlet, movement, movement on the stairs (lifting and descent), work with the tool. Experts were assessed to what extent it is able to manage the system of space and other equipment in the process of sliding and extracurricular activities.
Ahead of Alexander Misurnkin four more phases of experimental studies: at a helicopter, on the plan of the planet plant, as well as on the simulators “TS-18” and “Don Union”. Recall that cosmonaut returned from his third space business trip. He was the commander of the Soyuz MS-20 ship, on which the Japanese entrepreneur Yusaka Maesava and his assistant Jozo Hirano committed a space flight as tourists.
