tater Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 How did the problems and different orbit raising efforts impact propellant levels? What sort of reserves are available for docking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Originally TKS has 3 800 kg, so 3 500 * ln(20/(20-4)) ~= 800 m/s (actually, less, but can't remember how much less). So, it should have an excess, unless the tanks are broken. (Or half-empty on launch to save the launch mass.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Downside is the Russian coverage (I have sound off) has little video windows covering the docking cam. NSF says they only have props for one docking attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Maybe someone left Nauka RCS and SAS on after docking with the target set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Dammit. I thought the RCS continuing to fire right after contact was odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
