Engineers managed to revive ISS after the early dragon cancellation • Record
NASA and SpaceX successfully raised the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) with 15 minutes of burns of Draco pushers in Dragon FreeGher’s trunk.
On the difference between flying in ESA Astronaut Bir Soyuz and a crew dragon pilot
The last effort came after operators Manually canceled When Draco repulsive fuel tanks cannot trade as planned, a 19 -minute planned 19 -minute, 22 -second burn
This time it went well NASA saidThe next Soyuz team, which is located in the later hours of 2025 for Soyuz crew swap operations, will be released on 27 November 2025 from Baikonur Cosmodrome at MS-28. The task will mark the first flight for NASA astronaut Christopher Williams and the crew will remain in ISS until the middle of next year.
Reboost ability is very important for NASA and reduces the US dependence on Russia to protect ISS orbit. However, even if the SpaceX Dragon Freighters are equipped to increase the altitude of the station, the US and Russian segments are inseparable. On the contrary air leaks And the aging modules are not practical to separate the Russian side – the station of the station, provided by The European Space Agency is located in the Russian Zvezda module.
Although the ISS has more computers distributed around the complex, replacing all functions in the Russian segment, including attitude control, will take more than a number of Draco driving in the trunk of a dragon cargo ship.
Bad is approaching the end of his days in orbit and whether such an exercise is worth the effort. There are observers allegedly This is further worse, such as leaks in the Russian segment, then the eggs can be closed permanently.
ISS also assumes that SpaceX can deliver a controlled re -entry in 2030. vehicle Based on the latest dragon show, there is a few years to address the problems that the company was business and arises in September’s engine ignition. ®
