kerbiloid Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It is of Type 77 module based on FGB of TKS, the last of its name. With custom addons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 This was posted as a quote on NSF: Quote MLM (3R) launch occurred on time at GMT 202/14:58:24.958. Ascent was nominal. Deployment could not be confirmed for Kurs-A antenna 2АСФ1-М-ВКА №1 and for the MLM nadir port docking target due to insufficient telemetry. Both ИКВ infrared horizon sensors, and a number of ДПС thrusters, generated failure messages during the motion control system test on Orbit 1; all were inhibited for the time-being. MCC-M is troubleshooting these issues. Additional details will be provided at the end of the MLM day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Those infrared horizon sensors who were uncoated. Who knows, why were they... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Right now this seems to be the only source on this issue. My friend at MCC hadn't heard anything there a few hours ago when I asked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know SX has been sending their craft to the ISS that way... but I thought that was a relatively recent development. How long now have ISS nations been sending remotely piloted / computer guided ships to ISS? (Dumbass me just remembers Shuttle stuff and assumed the RU craft were piloted.) 2. These views of Earth show really excellent images of the differing heights of Earth's clouds. Yet recent images (amazing, though they may be) of Jupiter don't show this level of detail when looking at Jupiter's clouds (I've seen some cool images with lightning storms). Is this because ISS, etc. are so low compared to Juno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the perijove is 4200 km. This is from ~7000km: Spoiler Edited July 22, 2021 by tater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of Mir was built through automated docking. After Beregovoy's failure, I believe the Soviets actually resolved to automated docking as the default.

The world's first automatic docking of two spacecraft "Kosmos-186" and "Kosmos-188" on October 30, 1967 . The Kosmos-186 and Kosmos-188 spacecraft are actually prototypes of the Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. The Soyuz spacecraft can be both manned and unmanned. Priority is given to automatic docking, but if there are any problems, the pilot can also dock in manual mode.

When remotely controlled the Progress docking. "On June 25, 1997, the Progress M-34 transport ship collided with the docked Spectrum module during manual docking in the operator control mode. The collision occurred due to an error during testing of the new control and approach system" There is a little bit about this collision here: http://www.russianspaceweb.com/mir_spektr.html Edited July 22, 2021 by Sokol_323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
