kerbiloid Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) The Fedor is successfully switched on, after 10-15 min of attempts to press the switch button on the shoulder. While Skvortsov was dressed in the possession suit to control the Fedor, Ovchinin reported that he is using a wrench to hold the button, and suggested to push it with a hammer kick. Tech support suggested to replace batteries. But soon Ovchinin reported that he has successfully pushed the button at the tenth-fifteenth attempt, and that the Fedor has been switched and said something. Then the Fedor, being possessed by Skvortsov's will and magic robe, wiggled the fingers and played a little with a screwdriver, wrenches, and electric switches. (Drill is not mentioned, but basically he can use even a fire extinguisher). Earlier the Roscosmos representative told that the Fedor's objectives include attaching/detaching electric contacts. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https://ria.ru/20190830/1558099008.html Upd. Btw in The Humans they had the button below the chin, iirc. Edited August 30, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Rockot launch from Plesetsk with undisclosed payload. The military has no further flights booked for this launcher model, and only have a single Roscosmos launch to execute. https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/5d6939689a794762c0f04926 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Russia starts manufacturing RD-171MV for Soyuz-5 (modified version of Zenith and Energy 1st stage engine). Fire test is expected by the end of 2019, first engine for flight tests - in 2021, first Soyuz-5 launch - in 2022. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rbc.ru%2Ftechnology_and_media%2F01%2F09%2F2019%2F5d6b50119a794776340220d0&sandbox=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Btw, just have read. In 2017 Energia Corp. has demonstrated the flight suit for PTK NP.https://tass.ru/kosmos/4428543 Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) As Rogozin blames weather for Vostochnyi delays, Borisov entertains the notion of raising costs and contracting additional work to the Ministry of Defence and the new unified military construction company they're busy slapping together from their numerous alphanumeric soup entities. https://tass.ru/kosmos/6830557 Also, Sfera has apparently passed review by the military and has some (minor) funding. Whereas the moon program in itself hasn't been put to paper; there's word of a new 2030 spaceflight policy document.

kerbiloid Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Codraroll said: I'll take your word for it, but in what way is it? A day before Rogozin had been criticized by a Vice-Prime-Minister for not so great space achievements. So, that's his response. *** The Fedor is packed back into MS-14 to return home. Planned undocking - 6 Sep 21:13 (Moscow Time), Planned landing in Kazakhstan - 7 Sep 00:35 (MT). It's fixed in knees, elbows, and everywhere it needs. Ovchinin guesses that the Fedor now can't run away. On Friday the Fedor was playing with screwdrivers, wrenches, and contacts. On Saturday they let him play with a drill and a towel. (That famous space machete is not mentioned. As well as a chainsaw, and akimbo pistols). https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https://ria.ru/20190903/1558194733.html P.S. He could do akimbo pistols. Two Soyuzes are docked, so two PMs are onboard. Edited September 3, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Rogozin has announced creation of Soyuz-6 rocket.

RD-171MV for Soyuz-5, RD-180 for Soyuz-6 and RD-191 for Angara. Edited September 7, 2019 by sh1pman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
