https://www.interfax.ru/russia/781655 They allowed Oleg Novikov to open the hatch. The process of the pressure equalization will take about three hours. *** For its almost 30 year old age and replaced legs the granny flied very ok. Another win of the Almaz family. -

https://www.interfax.ru/world/781635 Today, on Friday, the specialists of Energy Corp. will finish with the Nauka propulsion system, to provide its safety. The hatch opening is planned on the evening. They have ensured that the joint is sealed. -
So , that was you? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57965260 Obviously had been granted, but should it? I wish to have a ghost-like form to enable on my wish.

Because they are fishing outk. Why is WoW so much worse than WH40k? -
Yes, it's a duck soup. Would you prefer Uncle Scrooge instead? Waiter! A glass of boiling water and a straw.

Banned for not eating the plates when they are edible. And tasty.

9/10. Only the kerbalife. And the fake politeness in your indifferent voice proves that your are a human. Suvh deep knowledge of the human psychology is available only to us, the humans.

totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
There is one more critically important system onboard, and they yet haven't tested it. It should be done as soon as possible. I believe, the hypergolic components were happily stored in same fuel tanks for decades and it never was a problem, and as no engine has exploded, there is no contact between the components, they will just vent out the helium from the rear end of the in-tank bellows to drop the pressure to zero and will never try to pump it. So, the crew gained additional half-meter thick rad-protection around the quarters for free. Exactly. A new pipe attached to the old oven. -

Not a problem anymore. It has been propelled and docked, and never needs them again. Unlikely there is something same intriguing than the propulsion and docking systems. The docking system had minor malfunction but was repaired and happily docked it automatically, as planned. It's a pity, Lyappa is not used to make the show more impressive. The propulsion system was partially replaced on the assembled module (at least, the whole tanks were done from scratch), so probably they had some issue with it. The American modules are by order of magnitude simpler, as they are just a pressurized volume with inner structure, with no propulsion or energy. And they fully depend on a Shuttle. This one arrived on its own, and it was including complexity of both habitat and tug. This resulteed into additional probability of technical issues, but it didn't need a shuttle. *** A pure guess. Looks like once they have started warming the opposite DKS turbopump, the fuel repumping system malfunctioned (i.e. the place where the low- and high-pressure system meet with engines of all kinds), the low-pressure tanks became high-pressure and inoperational (according to that twit). They immediately stopped pumping and never engaged the other DKS (on photo), so it stays covered. They realized that they have only 1/4 of fuel available (in the high-pressure tank pair for the RCS engines). Then they got to the ISS by DPS, and on docking the pressure-fed (via that damaged repumping thing) DPS kept being fed from the high-pressure tank pair, until the fuel finished. As they have almost totally spent that tank pair on maneuvering, the remaining amount fuel was negligible and ended fast. So, probably now they have three full low-pressure tank pairs, but no possibility to turbopump it into the high-pressure for RCS, empty high-pressure tanks and no fuel for RCS, all engines unavailable. The only disadvantage in this case is that they can't use the module RCS for station orientation, so will keep doing it by the RCS of Zvezda, fueling it more often, but never fueling Nauka instead. #MasterClassOfOldSchool -
Granted. But he is not J.Kerman anymore. They wake up, first recall the month, then by efforts the day, and the year is basically clear or not needed, I wish Nauka is happy now.

"Available to its thrusters", i.e. other three tanks pairs are still full? *** Nauka heard that she will be the base module of a new station, so after detecting new peripheral equipment attached to her port decided to take the situation under her control. She just didn't expect such heavy addon. *** So, DKS weren't engaged? (From the next twit) -

Now it's interesting, what were those droplets from the ISS thread. If hyperfuel, the story is just beginning. -

Then we have some bad news for the universe. This universe is puny. Is it a puniverse? -
Banned for bringing the "new page" pattern from the megathread like if this is that.

The new Dune is just a parody on the Riddick Chronicles and the Necromongers fleet (posted pix in the upcoming thread) -

The alien beasts were not hunting Riddick not because he was so tough, but because they were afraid of becoming something of his kind after eating him. -
Banned because the smokers don't need a protection. They make others protect from them.

Granted. They started doing that, but nobody survived the poetry. I wish to recall those V-creatures (Vogons? Vagons?), but it's lazy to google

What a sidistic soup. Okay, then that's a tip for you. I don't eat the straw, I'm not a cow. Waiter! See above.
