Does it produce enough power on its own? It did, way back when. Zarya's arrays are folded. It's possible that all the panels are noticeably degraded, but there's experience with mounting a third panel on a DOS core (e.g. Salyut-7) and Nauka has fresh solar arrays.

tater Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Jesus: Leak visible NOW SpaceX Crew-6 is in February. Next Russian Crew mission is March. I think we should not send our astronaut home on that vehicle. Possible solutions: 1. Send Crew-6 with 1 crew, then the 3 Soyuz crew return with that 1 astronaut in August. 2. Send Crew-6 with 3 crew, and the US astronaut (Rubio) stays til August. The Soyuz scheduled for March goes with 1 cosmonaut, and the remaining 2 cosmonauts stay tile Sept. In any of those cases the launches could be moved up in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Friend at MSS reminds me CST-100 is April. So maybe they could take people home in Starliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Drop CST-100 to 1 crew, take all home on Starliner. Only stays like a week anyway. Unsure how the coolant impacts Soyuz capability on return, as they come home pretty fast anyway. So maybe they want to come back on their own vehicle.

That's a test flight, though. It's supposed to be safe enough that there will be people on board, but would they use a test flight for carrying crew home? My guess (for a lot of reasons) is that they will just cut that Soyuz loose and send up another one autonomously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Assuming that is an option ^^^ for Soyuz, and not just Progress, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegarrison Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 IIRC, everyone who flies in a Soyuz has their own custom-fitted foam seat insert. But these can be transferred between vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 The only issue is what it does to the crew schedule. Faust reported: This will leave Andrey Fedyaev alone after Crew-5 departs in April., and the Russian will have to try and move up the September crew (MS-24?) as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
