Media accreditation is open for SpaceX's Demo-1 uncrewed flight test to the International Space Station (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html)as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program (https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/commercial/crew/index.html). The launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft is targeted for Jan. 7, 2019, from historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 

This will be the first uncrewed test flight of the Commercial Crew Program and will provide data on the performance of the Falcon 9 rocket, Crew Dragon spacecraft, and ground systems, as well as on-orbit, docking and landing operations. The flight test also will provide valuable data toward NASA certifying SpaceX's crew transportation system for carrying astronauts to and from the space station.

Media prelaunch and launch activities will take place at Kennedy. 
...

NASA's Commercial Crew Program is working with the American aerospace industry through a public-private partnership to launch astronauts on American rockets and spacecraft from American soil for the first time since 2011. The goal of the program is safe, reliable and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station, which could allow for additional research time and increase the opportunity for discovery aboard humanity's testbed for exploration.

NASA sets #SpaceX (https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpaceX?src=hash) #DM1 (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DM1?src=hash) launch for 7 Jan 2019 in what is LIKELY to be a NIGHT LAUNCH. Given what we know of Dragon/ISS phasing ability, launch should be roughly JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT (i.e. 23:5x EST on 7 Jan) or 045x UTC on 8 Jan. Might surprise us, but this is what is looks like.

January 3, 2019 (https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/01/) | Stephen Clark (https://spaceflightnow.com/author/stephen-clark/)

SpaceX rolled out the company's first space-worthy Crew Dragon spacecraft and its Falcon 9 launcher to pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the first time Thursday, beginning a series of fit checks before the commercial spaceship takes off on its first orbital test flight.

Shrouded in off-and-on fog, the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule emerged from SpaceX's hangar at the southern perimeter of launch pad 39A shortly after 7 a.m. EST (1200 GMT) Thursday for the quarter-mile trip up the ramp to the former Saturn 5 and space shuttle launch complex. The rocket was expected to be raised vertical later Thursday.

The first of two Crew Dragon orbital test flights could take off later this month — without astronauts on-board — on a trek to the International Space Station. If the test flight — named Demo-1 — and an abort test in the coming months go well, SpaceX could be ready to launch a pair of NASA astronauts to the space station on a second demonstration flight by the middle of the year.

Спойлер

NASA is paying SpaceX $2.6 billion to develop the Crew Dragon spacecraft, conduct the two test flights, and begin regular crew rotation missions to the space station, perhaps as soon as late this year. Boeing is working on its own human-rated commercial spacecraft, named the CST-100 Starliner, under a $4.2 billion contract with NASA for missions that will blast off on United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rockets.

NASA's commercial crew program is aimed at restoring U.S. human spaceflight capability to low Earth orbit for the first time since the space shuttle's retirement in 2011, ending the agency's reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to send astronauts to and from the space station.

The most recent official target launch date for SpaceX's Crew Dragon Demo-1 flight released by NASA was Jan. 17. But that launch date was announced last month, and the Demo-1 mission's launch is now widely expected some time after Jan. 17.

The launch of Boeing's first CST-100 test flight to low Earth orbit is expected later this year. It was most recently officially targeted for March, but that schedule is now out-of-date, and NASA has not provided a revised timeframe for the mission.

A funding lapse affecting many U.S. government agencies, including NASA, could further delay the start of commercial crew test flights. NASA officials are responsible for numerous safety and certification reviews of the SpaceX and Boeing crew capsules before the test flights can go ahead, including evaluations of technical issues — such as parachute problems — faced by both companies.

Nevertheless, Thursday's rollout of the Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon spacecraft is a visible milestone for SpaceX and NASA. Activities planned at pad 39A in the coming weeks are expected to include fueling demonstrations and a test-firing of the Falcon 9's first stage engines.

SpaceX has outfitted pad 39A for crew launches in recent months, including the installation of a crew access arm for astronauts to board the company's capsule on top of the Falcon 9 rocket. The crew access arm is also expected to be exercised in the coming weeks with the Crew Dragon spacecraft at the pad.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk said this weekend that the company is about one month away from launching the first Crew Dragon spacecraft on an unpiloted test flight to the International Space Station, a precursor to a demonstration launch with astronauts later this year. He also warned that early test flights of the commercial crew capsule, built under contract to NASA, will be "especially dangerous."

Ground teams at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida rolled the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft to pad 39A on Thursday, Jan. 3, then hydraulically lifted the launcher vertical for a series of fit checks at the seaside launch facility, which was once used to launch Saturn 5 moon rockets and space shuttles.

SpaceX lowered the Falcon 9 rocket Friday evening, but the booster was expected to soon return to its launch pedestal for further testing, including a countdown rehearsal and a fueling test to practice launch day procedures. A hold-down firing of the Falcon 9's Merlin main engines is also on tap before the mission is ready to fly.

Officials have not set a new launch date for the Crew Dragon's first test flight in low Earth orbit, a mission NASA and SpaceX call Demo-1. The test flight had been scheduled to lift off Jan. 17 from Florida's Space Coast, but Musk tweeted Saturday that the Demo-1 mission's launch is "about a month away."

In a tweet Sunday responding to a follower, Musk added that the mission will be "extremely intense."

"Early flights are especially dangerous, as there's a lot of new hardware," Musk wrote.

The Crew Dragon spacecraft is a privately-developed, SpaceX-owned capsule NASA aims to use to ferry U.S. astronauts to and from the International Space Station, ending the space agency's sole reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft for crew transportation to the orbiting research laboratory. NASA signed a $2.6 billion contract with SpaceX in 2014 to design, develop and fly the Crew Dragon spacecraft, and the agreement covers the two test flights — Demo-1 without astronauts and Demo-2 with astronauts on-board — and six operational crew rotation flights to the station once NASA reviews the results of the demonstration missions.

NASA has a similar $4.2 billion contract with Boeing for development of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, which will launch on United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rockets, also from Cape Canaveral.

The Crew Dragon's Demo-1 mission will launch aboard the Falcon 9 rocket into low Earth orbit, and rendezvous with the space station around 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth, moving in for an automated docking, a first-time achievement for SpaceX.

The company's current Dragon cargo capsules are grappled by the station's robotic arm. The Crew Dragon — also called Dragon 2 — represents a brand new spacecraft design, with new life support systems, crew accommodations, and propulsion, electrical and thermal control systems not used on the previous Dragon vehicles.

For example, the Crew Dragon features powerful hydrazine-fueled SuperDraco thruster pods that could be used to drive the capsule away from a failing launch vehicle. The spacecraft's rear trunk section also has solar panels mounted on the outer mold line, and a thermal radiator to keep the craft's temperature within limits. Crew-carrying Dragons will also have seats and an astronaut control panel.

The launch of Boeing's first CST-100 test flight to low Earth orbit is expected later this year. It was most recently officially targeted for March, but that schedule is now out-of-date, and NASA has not provided a revised timeframe for the mission.

A funding lapse affecting many U.S. government agencies, including NASA, may force delays in the commercial crew test flights.. NASA officials are responsible for numerous safety and certification reviews of the SpaceX and Boeing crew capsules before the test flights can go ahead, including evaluations of technical issues — such as parachute problems — faced by both companies.

While SpaceX can proceed with launch preparations at the Kennedy Space Center, some of the reviews require the participation of furloughed NASA employees, such as managers responsible for ensuring the spacecraft meets the agency's requirements, and officials in charge of the space station program, the capsule's destination.

After a few weeks in orbit, the Crew Dragon will undock from the space station and parachute to a splashdown at sea. If the flight goes well, NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken could take their seats on the second Crew Dragon test flight to the space station as soon as this summer.

ВАШИНГТОН, 10 янв – РИА Новости. Первый испытательный беспилотный полет новейшего корабля Dragon 2 (Crew Dragon) компании SpaceX к МКС состоится не раньше февраля, сообщило НАСА в четверг.

Ранее планировалось, что первый испытательный полет новейшего корабля в беспилотном режиме состоится до конца 2018 года, затем НАСА передвинуло его на январь 2019 года. А 6 января владелец SpaceX Илон Маск сообщил в своем Twitter-аккаунте, что до первого испытательного полета нового корабля к МКС еще "около месяца".

"НАСА и SpaceX продолжают работать над продвижением к первому демонстрационному беспилотному полету к Международной космической станции. Для завершения тестирования оборудования и совместного анализа НАСА и SpaceX планируют совершить его не раньше февраля", - сообщило ведомство.

По информации НАСА, более конкретная дата будет определена совместными усилиями ведомства и частной компании с учетом возможностей стартовой площадки и МКС.

Obviously preliminary, but the Eastern Range is now showing the Static Fire for the DM-1 mission's Falcon 9 (B1051.1) as NET January 23, (and still showing NET February 9 as the launch date). As always, but especially this one, all very much subject to change.

Some interesting points:

Launch date NET appears to be holding (at least from the latest realignment). Larger than usual gap between Static Fire and Launch Date is likely due to the additional reviews this flagship mission will require.

МОСКВА, 21 янв - РИА Новости. Отправка к МКС нового американского космического корабля Dragon-2 в беспилотном режиме, планировавшаяся на 9 февраля, отложена на неделю, не исключен дальнейший перенос запуска, сообщил РИА Новости в понедельник источник в российской ракетно-космической отрасли.

Ранее NASA сообщало, что первый запуск разработанного компанией SpaceX Илона Маска космического корабля Dragon-2 к МКС в беспилотном режиме планируется в феврале. При этом источник РИА Новости сообщил, что старт намечается на 9 февраля.

"Запуск корабля Dragon-2 перенесен на 16 февраля. Не исключен дальнейший перенос сроков старта. По крайней мере, так об этом говорит американская сторона", - сказал собеседник агентства.

Спойлер

Ранее источник РИА Новости сообщал, что в пилотируемом режиме Dragon-2 отправится к МКС в июле 2019 года. На нем полетят астронавты NASA Роберт Бенкен и Дуглас Херли. Оба полета - беспилотный и пилотируемый - будут испытательными, после чего корабль Dragon-2 будет сертифицирован NASA для штатных полетов на МКС.

В 2012-2018 годах к МКС было запущено 17 грузовых кораблей Dragon (один запуск в 2015 году был аварийным). На базе Dragon компания SpaceX создала корабль Dragon-2, который будет летать на станцию в двух вариантах: Crew Dragon - с экипажем и Cargo Dragon - с грузами.

Другой американский космический корабль Starliner создается компанией Boeing. По словам источника РИА Новости, его запуск к МКС в беспилотном режиме намечается на 28 марта 2019 года, в пилотируемом - на 27 августа. Во втором полете в корабле будут находиться астронавты NASA Эрик Боу и Николь Аунапу Манн, а также астронавт Boeing Кристофер Фергюсон. Оба полета - беспилотный и пилотируемый - будут испытательными, после чего корабль Starliner будет сертифицирован NASA для штатных полетов на МКС.

Why does this LEO mission not RTLS? Is wet Dragon-2 so much heavier than Dragon-1?

bbachmai (https://www.reddit.com/user/bbachmai)

As far as I know, it's not the weight.

The first stage ascent trajectory of unmanned Dragon-1 is rather steep upwards, which enables the booster to RTLS.

For Dragon 2, the lofted trajectory is not possible because in an in-flight abort scenario, the capsule would fly a very high parabola and re-enter at a very steep angle with high g-loads. To keep the apogee of this parabola lower, and therefore decrease the re-entry g-loads in case of an abort, Crew Dragon is launched on a flatter initial trajectory, accelerating more horizontally, requiring an ASDS landing.

joe714 (https://www.reddit.com/user/joe714)

I can't find the source right now, but as I understand it the flight profile for crew is flatter than cargo dragon to minimize G-loads and improve the performance of the escape system if needed. This means the first stage is farther downrange and has more horizontal velocity at MECO than prior launches, and there isn't the margin left for a longer boost back burn to do RTLS.

Alexphysics (https://www.reddit.com/user/Alexphysics)

Dragon 2 will fly a more flatter trajectory compared to Dragon 1, this is done to avoid high g's on reentry in case the capsule has to abort in mid flight, if the trajectory is flatter the capsule will stay higher for more time instead of falling like a rock in case of a more lofted trajectory. On this last case the reentry forces are higher because the capsule encounters the denser parts of the atmosphere faster so drag builds up faster and the decceleration is higher and the crew experiences more g's. This flatter trajectory means the first stage will separate further from the coast than on Dragon 1 missions and that means it may be impossible to come back to land efficiently so instead it lands on the droneship.

ЦитироватьNASA, Partners Update Commercial Crew Launch Dates

Anna Heiney (https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/author/aheiney/)
Posted Feb 6, 2019 at 11:00 am

NASA and its Commercial Crew Program providers Boeing and SpaceX have agreed to move the target launch dates for the upcoming inaugural test flights of their next generation American spacecraft and rockets that will launch astronauts to the International Space Station (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html).

The agency now is targeting March 2 for launch of SpaceX's Crew Dragon on its uncrewed Demo-1 test flight. Boeing's uncrewed Orbital Flight Test is targeted for launch no earlier than April.

These adjustments allow for completion of necessary hardware testing, data verification, remaining NASA and provider reviews, as well as training of flight controllers and mission managers.

The uncrewed test flights will be the first time commercially-built and operated American spacecraft designed for humans will dock to the space station. The first flights are dress rehearsals for missions with astronauts aboard the vehicles. Commercial crew has continued working toward these historic missions throughout the month of January.

"The uncrewed flight tests are a great dry run for not only our hardware, but for our team to get ready for our crewed flight tests," said Kathy Lueders, Commercial Crew Program manager. "NASA has been working together with SpaceX and Boeing to make sure we are ready to conduct these test flights and get ready to learn critical information that will further help us to fly our crews safely. We always learn from tests."

In January, SpaceX successfully completed a static fire test of its Falcon 9 with Crew Dragon atop the rocket at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A in Florida, in preparation for Demo-1.

Boeing's CST-100 Starliner continues to undergo testing in preparation for its Orbital Flight Test, and United Launch Alliance is conducting final processing of the Atlas V rocket that will launch Starliner from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

"There still are many critical steps to complete before launch and while we eagerly are anticipating these launches, we will step through our test flight preparations and readiness reviews," said Lueders. "We are excited about seeing the hardware we have followed through development, integration, and ground testing move into flight."

NASA's Commercial Crew Program will return human spaceflight launches to U.S. soil, providing safe, reliable and cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit and the space station on systems that meet safety and performance requirements.

To meet NASA's requirements, the commercial providers must demonstrate their systems are ready to begin regular flights to the space station. After the uncrewed flight tests, Boeing and SpaceX will complete a flight test with crew prior to being certified by NASA for crew rotation missions. The following planning dates reflect inputs by the Commercial Crew Program and the two companies and are current as of Feb. 4, 2019.

Test Flight Planning Dates:
SpaceX Demo-1 (uncrewed): March 2, 2019
Boeing Orbital Flight Test (uncrewed): NET April 2019
Boeing Pad Abort Test: NET May 2019
SpaceX In-Flight Abort Test: June 2019
SpaceX Demo-2 (crewed): July 2019
Boeing Crew Flight Test (crewed): NET August 2019

SpaceX also completed a pad abort test (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/spacex-demonstrates-astronaut-escape-system-for-crew-dragon-spacecraft) in 2015. Following the test flights, NASA will review performance data and resolve any necessary issues to certify the systems for operational missions. Boeing, SpaceX and the Commercial Crew Program are actively working to be ready for the operational missions. As with all human spaceflight vehicle development, learning from each test and adjusting as necessary to reduce risk to the crew may override planning dates.

NASA and commercial crew provider SpaceX are targeting 2:48 a.m. EST Saturday, March 2, for the launch of the Demo-1 uncrewed flight test to the International Space Station (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html). The uncrewed test flights will be the first time a commercially-built and operated American rocket and spacecraft designed for humans will launch to the space station.

Live coverage will begin on NASA Television and the agency's website (https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive) Friday, Feb. 22 with prelaunch events.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket from the historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. About 10 minutes after launch, Crew Dragon will reach its preliminary orbit. It is scheduled to dock to station Sunday, March 3 at 5:55 a.m. EST. The Crew Dragon spacecraft will carry about 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the space station and return some critical research samples to Earth.

The spacecraft will spend about five days attached to the space station. Dragon will remain at the space station until March 8 when the spacecraft will return to Earth. About five hours after Dragon leaves the station, it will conduct its deorbit burn, which lasts up to 10 minutes.

Following a full day of briefings and discussion, NASA and SpaceX are proceeding with plans to conduct the first uncrewed test flight of the Crew Dragon on a mission to the International Space Station. Launch is scheduled for 2:48 a.m. EST Saturday, March 2 from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It will be the first time a commercially built and operated American rocket and spacecraft designed for humans will launch to the space station.

At 6 p.m., NASA will broadcast (http://www.nasa.gov/live) a post-flight readiness review briefing from Kennedy, with the following representatives:

[/li]
• William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator, NASA Human Exploration and Operations
• Kathy Lueders, manager, NASA Commercial Crew Program
• Hans Koenigsmann, vice president, Build and Flight Reliability, SpaceX
• Kirk Shireman, manager, International Space Station Program
• Norm Knight, deputy director, NASA  Johnson Space Center Flight Operations
  

While the review was ongoing, crew members on station utilized a computer-based trainer and reviewed procedures to refresh themselves with the Crew Dragon spacecraft systems, rendezvous and docking, ingress operations, changes to emergency responses, and vehicle departure. Demo-1 is the first uncrewed flight to the space station for the Crew Dragon.

NASA will provide full mission coverage (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-spacex-demo-1-briefings-events-and-broadcasts) for activities from now through launch, docking, departure and splashdown.

NASA's Bill Gerstenmaier says there's one issue to work from the FRR, regarding how the software operates on the Crew Dragon approaching the ISS. Also a dissenting opinion from an (unnamed) int'l partner.

DM-1:

Gerst: "It's a test flight, but more than a test flight. Critical first step to the return of crew launch capability. Really impressed with the working relationship."

One Action Item: Software for abort. ISS partner dissented (Russia I bet).

Sounds like if Demo-1 doesn't launch on March 2, backup dates are March 5 and 8 or 9. Constrained by ensuring a 24-hour transit time to the station, and return in lighted conditions. After 8/9, a cutout because of upcoming Soyuz mission.

Gerst says the Russians noted concerns about rendezvous abort software redundancy a few months ago. Gerst says he forgot to follow it up due to the shutdown, so will catch up with them next week to show why NASA's not worried about Dragon 2 accidentally colliding into the ISS.

And: spacecraft is not fully qualified as-is for crewed flights, there are items of concern (typical, not unexpected) in Draco thrusters FOD, capsule tankage particularly COPV, parachute envelope testing, and other subsystems. Gerst "guarantees" some things won't go as expected.

ВАШИНГТОН, 23 фев – РИА Новости. НАСА по итогам предполетного анализа официально подтвердило проведение испытательного запуска новейшего корабля Crew Dragon к МКС 2 марта.

"Запуск состоится 2 марта в 02.48 (по времени Восточного побережья США)", - сказал представитель НАСА Билл Герстенмайер. Он отметил, что команда готова к запуску, который "будет не просто испытательный полетом, это критический первый шаг на пути к возвращению запуска экипажей на американскую землю".

В НАСА подчеркнули, запуск новейшего аппарата к МКС не представляет угрозы для экипажа, который находится на орбите.

Crew Dragon (Dragon 2) построен частной компанией SpaceX на базе грузового корабля Dragon. Первый испытательный полет пройдет в беспилотном режиме. По расчётам НАСА, в случае удачного запуска в субботу, 2 марта, корабль прибудет на МКС в воскресенье, 3 марта. Он будет оставаться на орбите до пятницы, 8 марта, после чего вернется на Землю. Crew Dragon, как и его грузовой аналог, является кораблем многоразового пользования.

STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS (http://www.cbsnews.com/) & USED WITH PERMISSION

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/145301.jpg)

NASA managers held a flight readiness review Friday and cleared SpaceX to press ahead with work to ready a Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon commercial ferry ship for launch March 2 on an unpiloted test flight to the International Space Station.

The long-awaited mission is a critical milestone in NASA's $6.8 billion Commercial Crew Program, intended to end the agency's sole reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to ferry U.S. and partner astronauts to and fr om the station in the wake of the space shuttle's retirement eight years ago.

If all goes well, two NASA astronauts hope to take off aboard a Crew Dragon spacecraft on the first piloted test flight in July.

"It's more than a test flight, it's really a mission to the International Space Station, it's part of the Commercial Crew Program that really gets us ready for the ... crew flight that comes up later," Bill Gerstenmaier, director of space flight operations at NASA Headquarters, said of the unpiloted test flight.

"So this is an absolutely critical first step that we do as we move towards eventually returning crew launch capability back here to the U.S."

Liftoff fr om historic pad 39A is targeted for 2:49:03 a.m. EST a week from Saturday, at roughly the moment Earth's rotation carries the rocket into the plane of the space station's orbit. That's the only way current rockets can rendezvous with an orbital target moving at nearly five miles per second.

Backup launch opportunities are available on March 5 and March 9, but after that, NASA would have to stand down until after a Russian Soyuz flight scheduled for launch March 14 to ferry cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin, NASA flight engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch to the station.

Ovchinin and Hague suffered a dramatic Soyuz booster malfunction during their initial climb to space last October, but the capsule and crew landed safety about 250 miles from the launch site in Kazakhstan. The Russian space agency corrected the problem, revised the launch schedule and Koch, already in training for a downstream flight, was added to the mission.

In any case, NASA managers attending the FRR Friday at the Kennedy Space Center reviewed launch processing to date and the status of remaining "open" items that either must be resolved or waived before flight and those that can be deferred in the near term.

Among the topics under discussion were the Crew Dragon's parachute system and testing to certify it for use in the upcoming piloted mission, temperature-related issues with the capsule's maneuvering thrusters and the status of redesigned high-pressure helium tanks, known as COPVs, that are submerged in super-cold liquid oxygen inside the Falcon 9 rocket.

Trouble with an earlier version of the tank was blamed for a spectacular on-pad Falcon 9 explosion in 2016. The helium pressurization system also was implicated in an in-flight breakup in 2015 when a strut holding a tank in place failed, triggering the destruction of a station-bound Dragon cargo ship.

The issue for the Crew Dragon mission is understanding the physics that led to the on-pad explosion and making sure the redesigned tanks, known as COPV version 2.0, are not vulnerable to the same failure mode.

"One of the things the composite overwrap pressure vessel has (are) fibers that are twisted together," Gerstenmaier said. "As those pressurize, they can break, and as they break they can potentially generate heat, if they can generate enough heat in the oxygen environment they can be an ignition source.

"So now we're going back and we're proving to ourselves that this breaking is so unlikely it's not going to be a concern."

One issue that needs to be resolved in the near term involves Russian concerns about the computer guidance and safety systems aboard the Crew Dragon that will control the spacecraft's final approach to the space station.

Gerstenmaier said European, Japanese and Russian spacecraft that rendezvous with the station typically carry independent systems that can abort an approach in the event of a massive computer failure that might leave a ship on a collision course with the lab. The Crew Dragon relies instead on redundancy in the primary computer system.

"One of the actions I assigned was to go look a little more rigorously at some of the fault detection and response to various failures to make sure the computers do all the right things, that we don't get in a situation wh ere essentially the vehicle goes dead or dormant and then just continues its approach and collides with station," Gerstenmaier said.

"That's the basic concern the Russians brought up, why isn't there a separate system or separate box to go provide this backup capability? We think we have sufficient rationale for that."

Gerstenmaier said such technical issues are not unusual in the development of human-rated spacecraft and going into the Demo 1 mission, "we haven't set the total envelope of wh ere some of the hardware can operate and how it can be used" during piloted flights.

"But we know the hardware is good enough to go do this demonstration flight," he said. "In fact, we want it to go to flight to see if there's something else we've missed, and we fully expect to learn some things on this fight."

Assuming the Demo 1 takes off March 2 as now planned, the Crew Dragon spacecraft will carry out an autonomous rendezvous, catching up with the space station the day after launch and moving in for docking at the lab's forward port, the same one once used by visiting space shuttles, around 6 a.m. on March 3.

The station's crew — Russian commander Oleg Kononenko, Canadian physician-astronaut David Saint-Jacques and NASA flight engineer Anne McClain — will open hatches and inspect the new spacecraft a few hours after docking.

The flight plan calls for the Demo 1 Crew Dragon to undock on March 8 and return to an Atlantic Ocean splashdown about 230 miles east of Cape Canaveral. SpaceX recovery crews stationed nearby will pull the capsule onto a ship and haul it back to Port Canaveral for detailed post-flight inspections.

Спойлер

Assuming no major problems develop — and assuming an in-flight abort test goes well this spring — astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley hope to blast off in a Crew Dragon this summer to kick off the first launch of U.S. astronauts aboard an American-made rocket from U.S. soil since the shuttle program ended in July 2011.

Спойлер

NASA also is funding development of a Boeing capsule known as the CST-100 Starliner that is scheduled for an unpiloted launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket later this spring. The first piloted Starliner flight, carrying Boeing astronaut Christopher Ferguson and NASA crewmates Nicole Mann and Mike Fincke, is planned for the fall timeframe.

If those flights go well, operational U.S. crew rotation flights could begin before the end of the year.

The final currently contracted U.S. Soyuz flight is scheduled for launch in July. Given the ever-present possibility of unexpected problems with the commercial crew ships, NASA is studying an option of purchasing two additional Soyuz seats, one for use in the fall and the other next spring.

SpaceX currently holds NASA contracts valued at $3.04 billion for 20 space station resupply flights and another contract for an unspecified amount for at least six additional flights through 2024.

SpaceX also holds a $2.6 billion NASA contract to build and launch a piloted version of its Dragon cargo capsule. Boeing won a $4.2 billion contract to build the CST-100.

NASA AND SPACEX AGREE DEMO-1 IS GO FOR MARCH 2
By Marcia Smith | Posted: February 22, 2019 11:59 pm ET | Last Updated: February 23, 2019 12:16 am ET
...
The outstanding issue that worries Russia is that SpaceX's Crew Dragon (or Dragon-2) does not have a separate software "box" to ensure the spacecraft will not collide with ISS if other systems fail.  Gerstenmaier explained that NASA is confident that redundant systems on the spacecraft are sufficient.  He conceded that Russia raised the issue in December, but he did not follow through with them during the 35-day partial government shutdown and hence the issue arose today.  He is certain they will agree once they have all the relevant information.
...
In fact, one takeaway from the briefing is that NASA is not looking at this simply as a test flight, but an actual mission to the ISS and the safety of the ISS crew is paramount.  This is the first Dragon spacecraft that will dock with ISS instead of berthing to it.  The cargo version of Dragon maneuvers close to ISS and then is captured by astronauts using the robotic Canadarm2 and emplaced onto a docking port by ground controllers.  Crew Dragon will dock with ISS using its own propulsion system.  It will dock to an International Docking Adapter (IDA) that was delivered to ISS on a cargo Dragon flight in 2016.  This will be the first time it is used.

NASA gives go-ahead for SpaceX commercial crew test flight
by Jeff Foust (https://spacenews.com/author/jeff-foust/) — February 22, 2019
...
He said the concern was about what would happened if there was a failure of the main computers of the spacecraft on approach, and how it would perform a "breakout" maneuver to avoid the station. He said the computers on Crew Dragon are fault tolerant, but that the mission team will "look a little more rigorously" at fault detection procedures. "I don't think it will be a problem once we go through the details of why it's safe," he said.

There are several other issues with this Crew Dragon spacecraft, said Gerstenmaier. "The vehicle is not fully qualified," he said. "But we know the hardware is good enough to go do this demonstration flight. In fact, we want it to go to flight to see if there's something else we missed, and we fully expect to learn some things on this flight."

Among those issues, he said, is with the spacecraft's Draco thrusters. Kathy Lueders, manager of NASA's commercial crew program, said a thruster failed on an earlier Dragon cargo mission. "The SpaceX folks have done a tremendous amount of testing over the last four or five months," she said, isolating to operations at very low temperatures. "We're totally avoiding that condition on this mission by controlling the operational parameters of the mission."

She added, though, that she had signed off on all the risks associated with the flight by mitigating them or concluding they were acceptable. "I feel like we've closed out all of our requirements with the space station program," she said. "I will tell you that I'm ready to fly now."

SpaceX's Crew Dragon at Launch Complex 39A

SpaceX is set to launch its Crew Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket, the first launch of a space system designed for humans built and operated by a commercial company through a public-private partnership, on a flight test to the International Space Station (http://www.nasa.gov/station) (ISS) at 2:49 a.m. EST on Saturday, March 2.

For a launch Saturday, meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing are predicting an 80 percent chance of favorable weather. Weak high pressure in advance of a front moving southeast into the area is expected during the launch window with a low probability for rain and weak surface winds and only slight concerns of any cumulus cloud or thick cloud rule violations during the instantaneous launch window.

The first official launch weather outlook issued Tuesday by U.S. Air Force meteorologists predicts an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions for the predawn liftoff Saturday of SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft on a test flight to the International Space Station.

The weather outlook for Saturday's launch calls for partly cloudy skies, breezy winds from the west-southwest, and mild temperatures. The only slight concern is with potential violations of the cumulus cloud and thick cloud launch weather rules.

Liftoff of the human-rated capsule — flying without astronauts this time — is scheduled for 2:49:03 a.m. EST (0749:03 GMT), roughly the moment the Earth's rotation brings launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center under the space station's orbital path.

Mission managers could adjust the launch time by a few seconds in the coming days based on updated tracking of the space station's orbit. The precise launch time Saturday will enable the Crew Dragon spacecraft to reach the orbiting research complex for an automated docking at 6 a.m. EST (1100 GMT) Sunday.

"Relatively dry southwesterly flow will keep rain probabilities low, with surface winds relatively weak," forecasters from the Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron wrote in an outlook issued Tuesday. "The forecast yields only slight concerns of any cumulus cloud or thick cloud rule violations during the primary launch window on Saturday. Maximum upper-level winds will be from the west near 80 knots at 45,000 feet."

Officials from NASA and SpaceX will convene a launch readiness review Wednesday to discuss the status of launch preparations. If managers clear the Crew Dragon spacecraft and its Falcon 9 launcher for liftoff Saturday, the rocket is scheduled to roll out of SpaceX's hangar at pad 39A some time Thursday for the trip up the ramp to the launch mount.

An erector will raise the Falcon 9 rocket vertical for final servicing and countdown preparations.

With a good weather forecast, officials are hopeful the rocket can take off early Saturday. Backup launch opportunities are available March 5 and March 9, when the space station's position in its orbit would allow the Crew Dragon to reach the outpost the day after launch. Then the Crew Dragon demonstration flight would have to stand down until after the launch of a three-person space station crew March 14 from Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket.

A long-range forecast predicts a wetter weather pattern early next week, and forecasters expect a 40 percent probability of conditions preventing a launch attempt on the backup opportunity March 5.

Assuming an on-time launch and docking this weekend, the Crew Dragon spacecraft will depart the space station March 8 and return to a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean around 240 miles (390 kilometers) east of Cape Canaveral. A newly-outfitted recovery ship, with hardware and experts to secure the Crew Dragon after it returns to Earth, will retrieve the capsule and bring it back to port.

Спойлер

The upcoming Crew Dragon test flight is a major checkout of SpaceX's human-rated spacecraft, which the company developed in partnership with NASA. The U.S. space agency has a $2.6 billion contract with SpaceX to fund the design, development and testing of the Crew Dragon spacecraft.

NASA has a similar contract worth $4.2 billion with Boeing, which is developing its CST-100 Starliner crew capsule, giving U.S. astronauts two transportation providers to low Earth orbit, and ending NASA's reliance on Russian Soyuz vehicles for the job.

Following the unpiloted test flight, SpaceX will refurbish and refuel the same Crew Dragon vehicle for an in-flight abort test this spring. The abort demonstration will verify the spacecraft can fire its escape thrusters to fly away from a failing booster in flight.

Then a new Crew Dragon vehicle will be prepared for launch with a two-man team of NASA astronauts as soon as July. NASA shuttle veterans Robert Behnken and Doug Hurley will fly the Crew Dragon to the space station on a second test flight — known as Demo-2 — before the commercial spaceship is certified to begin regular crew rotation flights to the research outpost.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the company's Crew Dragon (although without astronauts on this mission) on its Demo-1 flight test to the International Space Station (http://www.nasa.gov/station) will lift off fr om the same historic site wh ere astronauts first launched to the moon. Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is also the site of dozens of space shuttle launches that helped build the orbital laboratory.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/130643.jpg) (https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/wp-content/uploads/sites/230/2019/02/201107070030HQ.jpg)

Launch Complexes 39A and B were constructed in the 1960s. Both launch pads have a long history of supporting launches for the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs. Launch Pad 39A was the launch site for 11 Saturn V Apollo missions, including Apollo 11, the first Moon landing. The pad also was the launch site for 82 space shuttle missions, including STS-1, the first shuttle launch, the STS-125 final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope, and STS-135, the final shuttle mission.

After the space shuttle was retired in 2011, NASA began the process to transform Kennedy Space Center from a historically government-only launch facility into a multi-user spaceport for both government and commercial use. On April 14, 2014, the agency signed a property agreement with SpaceX (https://www.nasa.gov/content/nasa-spacex-sign-property-agreement-for-historic-launch-pad) of Hawthorne, California, for use of the launch site for the next 20 years.

SpaceX upgraded and modified the launch pad to support its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. The company also built a horizontal processing hangar at the base of the pad to perform final vehicle integration prior to flight. The first SpaceX launch from the pad was the company's 10th commercial resupply services (CRS-10) mission (https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/spacex-mission-launches-new-era-for-premier-multi-user-spaceport) for NASA. A SpaceX Falcon 9 launched a Dragon cargo spacecraft on CRS-10 on Feb. 19, 2017. The Dragon delivered about 5,500 pounds of supplies to the space station, including the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III instrument to further study ozone in the Earth's atmosphere. NASA and SpaceX combined have launched more than 100 missions from Pad 39A.

Because of NASA's partnership with SpaceX within the agency's Commercial Crew Program (https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/commercial/crew/index.html), Launch Complex 39A will once again be the site of crewed missions to the space station.

NASA also is partnered with Boeing to return crewed missions to the space station; the company will launch its CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket a few miles down the shoreline, from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

By relying on industry trips to low-Earth orbit, NASA can concentrate on developing rockets and spacecraft for missions to the Moon and Mars (https://www.nasa.gov/topics/moon-to-mars).

Posted Feb 27, 2019 at 1:13 pm

Three days remain until the planned liftoff of a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on the company's Falcon 9 rocket—the first launch of a commercially built and operated American spacecraft and space system designed for humans. Liftoff is targeted for 2:49 a.m. EST on Saturday, March 2, from Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Demo-1 mission to the International Space Station (http://www.nasa.gov/station) serves as an end-to-end test of the system's capabilities.

The launch weather forecast continues to look promising; meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing predict an 80 percent chance of favorable weather at launch time. Thick clouds or cumulus clouds that would violate launch requirements are the primary weather concerns.

NASA will host a prelaunch briefing at Kennedy at 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 28. The briefing will be broadcast live on NASA TV (https://www.nasa.gov/live). See the full briefings and events schedule, including briefing participants, at https://go.nasa.gov/2GBCB5A.

SpaceX
Demo-1

SpaceX will launch a crew capable Dragon, known as Crew Dragon, on a test mission to the International Space Station. There will be no crew aboard, but the Dragon will dock autonomously to the station. The objectives of this mission are to demonstrate most of the capabilities of their crew transportation system. 

Demo-1 Mission Objectives:
• Demonstrate on-orbit operation of the avionics system, docking system, communications/telemetry systems, environmental control systems (pressure, thermal, humidity, etc.), solar arrays and electrical power systems and the propulsion systems • Demonstrate performance of the Guidance, Navigation and Control systems of the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon through ascent, on-orbit, and entry • Determine acoustic and vibration levels, and loads across the Crew Dragon exterior and interior • Demonstrate launch escape trigger monitoring • Demonstrate end-to-end operations performance 

Major highlights include, but are not limited to: 

The Launch Pad:
They will lift-off from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) which has been greatly modified to accommodate their rocket's and spacecraft's unique requirements and operations. This includes a hangar for horizontal assembly, a new crew access arm, and a number of new rocket servicing equipment unique to Falcon 9.

The Rocket:
Falcon 9 – Block 5, which includes an updated and improved Merlin 1D Engine. SpaceX has evolved its Falcon 9 rocket over the years, incorporating incremental improvements until the current Block 5 version designed for crew missions, including improved thrust and densified propellants. 

The Spacecraft:
Crew Dragon is longer and heavier than its cargo predecessor as it needs to safely accommodate four astronauts to and from the space station. This first demonstration mission is autonomous with cargo and mass simulators to help collect data such as loads, accelerations, vibrations temperatures and pressures all over the spacecraft – inside and out. This data will provide designers with the data they need to validate that this spaceship can do the job it was designed to do. One of the key new items on Crew Dragon is the addition of eight SuperDraco abort engines, which give the spacecraft a capability it never had before: escaping an unlikely emergency situation on the launch pad or during ascent. 

Operations:
Often overlooked, pre-flight processing, launch, mission in-flight, landing and recovery operations are all as integral to safe space missions as the hardware that is used. SpaceX flight controllers, sometimes called ground operators, have control of the vehicle from countdown to recovery – with NASA keeping a watchful eye. The Crew Dragon will actually dock with the station, while the cargo Dragon would be grappled by the space station's robotic arms, all Crew Dragon missions will completely autonomously dock and undock, with crew intervention capability to manually fly, if needed. 

Re-entry and Landing:
After undocking and re-entry, Crew Dragon will utilize four parachutes to gently touch down in the Atlantic Ocean and be recovered by a brand-new recovery vessel. SpaceX is required to get the crew and spacecraft out of the water in less than an hour after splashdown.

ISS DOCKING
Crew Dragon will perform a series of phasing maneuvers to gradually approach and autonomously dock with the International Space Station on Sunday, March 3 at approximately 6:00 a.m. EST. Filled with about 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment, Dragon will remain docked with space station for five days. 

RETURN FLIGHT
Crew Dragon will autonomously undock with the International Space Station on Friday, March 8 at approximately 2:30 a.m. EST. About five hours after Dragon departs the space station it will conduct its deorbit burn, which lasts up to 15 minutes. It takes about 35 to 40 minutes for Dragon to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and splash down in the Atlantic Ocean, which is currently targeted for approximately 8:45 a.m. EST. Crew Dragon will utilize an enhanced parachute system, including four main chutes, to gently land in the Atlantic Ocean before being recovered and returned to Port Canaveral, Florida.

Take a tour of the interior of SpaceX's Crew Dragon, targeted to launch on its first (uncrewed) demonstration flight on March 2, 2019. Crew Dragon is designed to transport up to four astronauts for NASA missions, along with critical cargo and supplies, to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

The Crew Dragon features solar arrays affixed to the side of the spacecraft's trunk, a launch escape system that will allow crew members to escape an anomaly at any point during flight, a large hatch and windows and a redesigned outer mold line to enhance crew comfort.

ВАШИНГТОН, 1 мар – РИА Новости. "Роскосмос" и НАСА урегулировали имевшиеся вопросы по обеспечению безопасности МКС и ее экипажа в ходе испытательного полета Crew Dragon, сообщили на брифинге в четверг представители американского космического ведомства.

"Вчера мы пришли к согласию с "Роскосмосом" относительно протокола сближения (корабля и Международной космической станции)", - сообщил представитель НАСА Джоэл Монталбано.

Он сообщил, что НАСА "разъяснило, какие меры предпринимает SpaceX для обеспечения безопасности МКС и находящегося на ней экипажа в ходе сближения своего корабля со станцией", Москва в свою очередь "попросила о дополнительных шагах".

Цитировать"Если это (авария), хотя это очень маловероятный сценарий, произойдет, они хотят, чтобы мы предприняли дополнительные шаги для защиты станции", - сообщил представитель НАСА. В числе этих мер он перечислил готовность экипажа занять места в находящемся на орбите российском корабле "Союз". "Мы согласились на это и проработали это с экипажем, и если авария произойдет, все будет работать прекрасно", - сказал Монталбано.

"Они согласились, команда диспетчеров полета работают над реализацией этого, сегодня они финализируют все. Они ("Роскосмос" ) согласились и подписали протокол запуска", - сообщил представитель НАСА.

На прошлой неделе НАСА сообщило, что у России есть озабоченности в связи с предстоящим полетом Crew Dragon к МКС на случай нештатной ситуации и возможности экстренного предотвращения с помощью электроники столкновения корабля со станцией.

SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft—designed to fly astronauts to the International Space Station (https://c/Users/samarti9/Desktop/nasa.gov/station) from U.S. soil—is ready for its debut flight on the company's Falcon 9 rocket. It is a first-of-its-kind test mission of a commercially-built and operated American spacecraft and rocket designed for humans.

The Demo-1 uncrewed flight test, targeted to launch March 2, will demonstrate the company's ability to safely launch crew to the space station and return them home.

"It's time to fly the SpaceX Demo-1 mission," said Steve Stich, NASA launch manager and deputy manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. "This mission is an important step in returning human spaceflight to American soil. SpaceX and NASA teams are working side-by-side on this mission from start to finish as we have throughout this process. This flight test will inform the system design, operations and drive any changes that need to be made ahead of crew flights. We are ready to learn by flying."

NASA and SpaceX are working together as public-private partnerships to build on the success of American companies already delivering cargo to the space station. Demo-1 is a critical step for NASA and SpaceX to demonstrate the ability to safely fly missions with NASA astronauts to the orbital laboratory.

At NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A, the crew access arm has been extended to the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on Jan. 3, 2019. Mounted atop the company's Falcon 9 rocket, both will undergo checkouts prior to its liftoff for Demo-1, the inaugural flight of one of the spacecraft designed to take NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station. NASA has worked with SpaceX and Boeing in developing Commercial Crew Program spacecraft to facilitate new human spaceflight systems launching from U.S. soil with the goal of safe, reliable and cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit destinations such as the space station.

"Demo-1 is our end-to-end flight test to ensure the spacecraft and systems operate as designed before we put crew on board," said Benji Reed, SpaceX director of crew mission management.

On launch day, SpaceX will command Crew Dragon and Falcon 9's launch from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Control Center Firing Room 4, which oversaw the countdown and liftoff of the final 15 space shuttle missions. Falcon 9 is targeted to lift off at 2:49 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Pad A was the launch site for 11 Apollo Saturn V missions, including Apollo 11, the first Moon landing, and 82 space shuttle missions, including STS-1, the first shuttle launch, and STS-135, the final shuttle mission.

"Demo-1 is a demonstration of the Falcon 9 rocket, Crew Dragon spacecraft, ground systems and overall operations - basically just about everything that needs to be operating and operating well before we want to put our astronauts on-board," said Mike Lee, NASA mission manager for SpaceX's Demo-1 flight test. "Our main goals are to validate as many aspects of the spacecraft's systems as we can without a crew on-board, monitor its approach and docking to the space station, and then monitor the undocking, deorbit, entry and splashdown."

As Crew Dragon ascends into space, SpaceX will command Crew Dragon from its mission control center in Hawthorne, California. NASA teams will monitor operations throughout the flight from Mission Control, Houston at the agency's Johnson Space Center.

SpaceX will test the spacecraft's autonomous systems' ability to maneuver and dock with the space station. During Crew Dragon's approach, on-orbit demonstrations will include rendezvous activities from a distance of up to 2.5 miles (4 km), known as far field, and activities within one mile (1.6 km), known as near field. As the spacecraft approaches the space station, it will demonstrate its automated control and maneuvering capabilities by intentionally reversing course and backing away from the station before the final docking sequence. During this flight, Crew Dragon will dock to the station's Harmony module forward, fitted with the new international docking adapter installed (https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2016/08/19/spacewalk-concludes-after-commercial-crew-port-installation/) during an August 2016 spacewalk, port last used during the final shuttle mission in 2011.

The docking phase, as well as the return and recovery of Crew Dragon, include many new first-time events that cannot be totally modeled on the ground and thus are critically important to understand the design and systems ability to support crew flights. Previous cargo Dragon vehicles have been attached to the space station after capture by the station's robotic arm. The Crew Dragon will fly in all the way to dock using new sensor systems, new propulsion systems and docking mechanism to attach to station.

For Demo-1, Crew Dragon will carry about 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the space station and return some critical research samples to Earth. Teams in the space station Mission Control Center at Johnson will monitor station crew members' opening of the spacecraft hatch, enter Crew Dragon and unpack the capsule. The spacecraft will remain docked to the space station for about two weeks. Ultimately, on future missions, Crew Dragon will be able to stay docked to station for up to 210 days during NASA crew rotation missions.

After undocking from station, Crew Dragon will begin its descent to Earth. Additional spacecraft mission objectives will include a safe departure from the station followed by a deorbit burn and parachute deployment to slow the spacecraft before splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida Space Coast. SpaceX's recovery ship, Go Searcher, will retrieve Crew Dragon and transport it back to port.

Спойлер

NASA and SpaceX will use data from Demo-1 to further prepare for Demo-2, the crewed flight test that will carry NASA astronauts Bob Behnken (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/robert-l-behnken) and Doug Hurley (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/douglas-g-hurley) to the International Space Station. NASA will validate the performance of SpaceX's systems before putting crew on-board for the Demo-2 flight, currently targeted for July.

Commercial crew is working with both Boeing and SpaceX to design, build, test and operate safe, reliable and cost-effective human transportation systems to low-Earth orbit. Both companies are targeting to have flight tests with NASA astronauts in 2019, which will restore the nation's human launch capability to and from the station.

NASA continues to work with Boeing as the company plans for the uncrewed flight test of its CST-100 Starliner spacecraft atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, known as the Orbital Flight Test, targeted for NET April 2019. Boeing's Crew Flight Test is targeted for NET August 2019.

Роскосмос и NASA проработали протоколы безопасности при стыковке американского корабля

Госкорпорация «Роскосмос» и NASA достигли консенсуса по обеспечению безопасности экипажа и самой Международной космической станции (МКС) во время проведения автоматической стыковки космического корабля Dragon 2 к американскому сегменту станции. Специалисты Центра управления полетами и оперативной группы управления российским сегментом МКС также будут контролировать процесс стыковки согласно протоколу, в котором установлено, что в случае отклонения режима сближения от штатного, попытка стыковки будет прекращена.

Специалисты Роскосмоса и NASA, изучая возможные нештатные ситуации при стыковке американских коммерческих кораблей с МКС напрямую (минуя манипулятор на американском сегменте), пришли к мнению, что при выполнении некоторых сценариев стыковочных операций повышается риск для станции и экипажа. В результате кропотливой работы специалисты Роскосмоса и NASA выработали варианты действий для снижения этого риска и договорились о проведении такого вида стыковки.

При этом стороны также проработали алгоритм действий во время проведения автоматической стыковки. Так, будут закрыты четыре люка в американском сегменте, куда будет пристыковываться американский корабль. В случае возникновения нештатной ситуации экипаж перейдет сначала на российский сегмент МКС, а затем на корабль «Союз МС-11».

Стыковку Crew Dragon с МКС прекратят в случае отклонений при сближении

В Роскосмосе отметили, что во время проведения автоматической стыковки будут закрыты четыре люка в американском сегменте Международной космической станции

МОСКВА, 1 марта. /ТАСС/. Стыковка американского корабля Crew Dragon с Международной космической станцией (МКС) будет прекращена в случае отклонения режима сближения от штатного. Об этом сообщили в пятницу в Роскосмосе.

"Специалисты Центра управления полетом и оперативной группы управления российским сегментом МКС также будут контролировать процесс стыковки согласно протоколу, в котором установлено, что в случае отклонения режима сближения от штатного, попытка стыковки будет прекращена", - сказали в госкорпорации.

В Роскосмосе уточнили, что во время проведения автоматической стыковки будут закрыты четыре люка в американском сегменте, а в случае нештатной ситуации экипаж перейдет сначала на российский сегмент МКС, а затем на пристыкованный к станции пилотируемый корабль "Союз МС-11".

Специалисты Роскосмоса и NASA, изучая возможные нештатные ситуации при стыковке американских коммерческих кораблей с МКС напрямую (минуя канадскую руку-манипулятор Canadarm на американском сегменте), пришли к мнению, что при выполнении некоторых сценариев стыковочных операций повышается риск для станции и экипажа.

"В результате кропотливой работы специалисты Роскосмоса и NASA выработали варианты действий для снижения этого риска и договорились о проведении такого вида стыковки", - добавили в госкорпорации.

Ранее в NASA также заявили о достижении согласия с Роскосмосом относительно полета Crew Dragon к МКС. Планируется, что запуск американского корабля к МКС состоится 2 марта.

В Роскосмосе ранее заявили, что стыковка американских коммерческих кораблей к МКС может при некоторых сценариях создать дополнительные риски для экипажа станции и ее самой. О каких конкретно рисках идет речь, в пресс-службе госкорпорации не уточнили.

О корабле Crew Dragon

Спойлер

NASA прекратило собственные пилотируемые полеты в 2011 году, после завершения программы возвращаемых кораблей Space Shuttle. С тех пор астронавты доставляются на МКС российскими кораблями "Союз". Контракт NASA и Роскосмоса истекает в конце 2019 года. В настоящее время новые американские космические корабли для пилотируемых полетов разрабатывают компании SpaceX и Boeing.

SpaceX представила пилотируемую версию корабля Crew Dragon (другое название - Dragon v2) в мае 2014 года. В сентябре того же года между NASA и SpaceX был заключен контракт на $2,6 млрд для завершения разработки Dragon v2 и его сертификации для полетов на МКС, а в ноябре и декабре 2015 года были подписаны контракты на полет к МКС двух таких кораблей с экипажами. В феврале 2017 года SpaceX озвучила планы использования Crew Dragon для туристических полетов вокруг Луны. Crew Dragon - это модификация грузового корабля Dragon, который уже перевозит грузы для МКС, в космос его будет выводить ракета Falcon-9 производства SpaceX.

Программа Dragon 2

Спойлер

Crew Dragon (Dragon 2) - новый многоразовый корабль американской компании SpaceX, его первый старт к МКС запланирован на субботу в непилотируемом режиме. Он будет выведен на орбиту ракетой-носителем Falcon 9.

Первый пилотируемый полет с экипажем в составе астронавтов-ветеранов Дуга Херли и Боба Бенкена, которые ранее летали на "Шаттлах", планируется осуществить в июле этого же года. Корабль отправится на МКС в двухнедельный полет.

Перед этим будут еще проведены два непилотируемых испытательных пуска корабля по неполной циклограмме для проверки надежности системы аварийного спасения капсулы экипажа.

Коммерческие пилотируемые запуски нового корабля впервые после окончания американской программы многоразовых "Шаттлов" в 2011 году позволят НАСА избавиться от зависимости от российских "Союзов", которые в настоящее время являются единственным средством доставки астронавтов США, европейских стран, Канады и Японии на МКС, отмечают западные наблюдатели.

МОСКВА, 1 мар - РИА Новости. Манекен по имени Рипли, названный в честь героини фильма "Чужой", полетит в субботу на МКС в кресле члена экипажа первого корабля Dragon-2 разработки компании SpaceX Илона Маска, заявил вице-президент компании Ганс Кенингсманн на пресс-конференции, транслировавшейся на сайте НАСА.

Ранее НАСА сообщило, что первый запуск корабля Dragon-2 (Crew Dragon) к МКС в беспилотном режиме планируется на 2 марта в 10:49 мск, в пилотируемом режиме - в июле 2019 года. На нем полетят астронавты НАСА Роберт Бенкен и Дуглас Херли. Оба полета - беспилотный и пилотируемый - будут испытательными, после чего корабль Dragon-2 будет сертифицирован НАСА для штатных полетов на МКС.

"Ее (женский манекен - ред.) имя Рипли", - сказал Кенингсманн, уточнив, что манекен назван в честь героини фильма "Чужой".

МОСКВА, 1 мар - РИА Новости. НАСА по просьбе "Роскосмоса" изменило траекторию стыковки к американскому сегменту МКС первого беспилотного корабля Dragon-2 производства SpaceX, сообщил РИА Новости в пятницу исполнительный директор "Роскосмоса" по пилотируемым космическим программам Сергей Крикалев.

"Мы с ними долго обсуждали порядок, какие риски есть. Понятно, что до нуля свести их нельзя, но можно сделать риски разумными. Нашли компромисс. Они изменили траекторию. У них была траектория такая, что существовала потенциальная опасность [столкновения], если вдруг все на корабле "умрет" и корабль превратится в кусок железа, который летит неуправляемо. Сейчас траектория выбрана таким образом, что опасность касания есть только на последних 40 метрах траектории", - рассказал Крикалев.

По его словам, специалисты российского Центра управления полетами будут контролировать стыковку американского корабля и в случае, если произойдут "события, отклоняющиеся от номинального полета", попытка сближения и стыковки будет прекращена.

"Риски разумные, приняты все меры обеспечения безопасности. При отказах, которые нам будут непонятны, на резервных средствах задачу выполнять не будем, а будем останавливаться и разбираться, в чем дело", - сказал собеседник агентства.

В случае нештатной ситуации оба Центра управления полетами - и в Москве, и в Хьюстоне - будут совместно управлять действиями экипажа станции.

SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk has released the first picture taken inside the Crew Dragon spacecraft set for launch at 2:49 a.m. EST (0749 GMT) Saturday.

An anthropomorphic test device -- which SpaceX officials prefer to call a "smarty" and not a "dummy" -- is sitting in one of the four seats inside the Crew Dragon.

SpaceX has named the mannequin "Ripley," after Sigourney Weaver's character in the "Alien" films.

According to SpaceX, Ripley is fitted with sensors around its head, neck and spine to gather data on the environments astronauts will experience when they ride the Crew Dragon, beginning later this year on the capsule's second test flight.

"The goal is to get an idea of how humans would feel in her place, basically," said Hans Koenigsmann, SpaceX's vice president of build and flight reliability. "I don't expect, actually a lot of surprises there. But it's better to verify, make sure that it's safe and everything is comfortable for our astronauts going on the next flight of our capsule."

Musk tweeted that cameras inside the spacecraft will provide views during the Crew Dragon's trip to the International Space Station, including views from Ripley's perspective, with cockpit display panels within reach.

SpaceX plans to land the first stage booster on tonight's launch on the company's drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" positioned in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of Cape Canaveral.

The Crew Dragon spacecraft will be the heaviest payload ever launched by SpaceX. The weight of the capsule, coupled with a launch trajectory designed to allow for a safer abort for astronaut crews, will prevent the rocket from keeping enough propellant in reserve to fly all the way back to SpaceX's landing zone at Cape Canaveral.

The first stage booster launching tonight is a brand new vehicle.

SpaceX has landed one of its Falcon 9 first stage boosters 34 times since December 2015 -- 22 times one a drone ship at sea, and 12 times on land.

NASA will use valuable information gathered from SpaceX's uncrewed flight test, Demo-1, to certify the crew transportation systems are safe to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html) in Demo-2. Both missions pair a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft.

In 2012, Dragon launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida and became the first commercial spacecraft in history to deliver cargo to the space station and return cargo to Earth. It has since been used for 16 commercial resupply missions for NASA. As part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program (https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/commercial/crew/index.html), SpaceX developed the brand-new Crew Dragon to fly astronauts to and from the space station.

Crew Dragon features four windows, spacious seating and an advanced emergency escape system. The fully autonomous spacecraft can be monitored and controlled by on-board astronauts and SpaceX mission control. Its environmental control system allows astronauts to set the interior temperature to between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

SpaceX's two-stage Falcon 9 rocket has been the power behind several cargo Dragon resupply missions to the space station, as well as the transport of satellites into orbit. It features nine Merlin engines in the first stage and a single Merlin vacuum engine in the second stage. It is the first orbital class rocket capable of reflight.

Following a successful test flight on Demo-1, Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon will be used to send NASA astronauts Bob Behnken (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/robert-l-behnken) and Doug Hurley (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/douglas-g-hurley) to the space station for Demo-2, targeted for July 2019.

T-minus 42 minutes. The crew access arm has retracted away from the Crew Dragon spacecraft in preparation for fueling of the Falcon 9 rocket.

The launch director's poll was completed a couple of minutes ago, and all controllers confirmed they are "go" to arm the Crew Dragon's launch escape system, and "go" for propellant loading.

SpaceX says the nose cone on the Crew Dragon spacecraft has opened, exposing the ship's docking mechanism to the vacuum of space for the first time. This is a critical milestone for a new system not on the previous-generation Dragon that allows the forward end of the capsule to open and close after launch and before re-entry.

Here's an artist's concept of what the Crew Dragon will look like as it docks with the space station at 6 a.m. EST (1100 GMT) Sunday.

The first-of-its-kind mission, planned to be a full demonstration of the spacecraft and its systems, launched on time at 2:49 a.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Demo-1 is the first flight test of a space system designed for humans built and operated by a commercial company through a public-private partnership. The mission also marks a significant step toward returning to the nation the capability to launch astronauts on a U.S.-built spacecraft from U.S. soil.

"It's an exciting evening," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said after the launch. "What today really represents is a new era in spaceflight. We're looking forward to being one of many customers in a robust commercial marketplace in low-Earth orbit."

Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO and lead designer, expressed his thanks to the SpaceX team and reported that the Crew Dragon spacecraft performed as expected through launch and ascent.

"We're only partway through the mission, but the system thus far has passed an exhaustive set of reviews, and the launch itself," Musk said. "The launch went as expected and so far everything is nominal."

In addition to 400 pounds of supplies and equipment, Crew Dragon is carrying Ripley, an anthropomorphic test device outfitted with sensors to gather important data about what an astronaut flying aboard the spacecraft would experience throughout the mission.

NASA and SpaceX will use data from Demo-1 to further prepare for Demo-2, the crewed flight test that will carry NASA astronauts Bob Behnken (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/robert-l-behnken) and Doug Hurley (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/douglas-g-hurley) to the International Space Station. NASA will validate the performance of SpaceX's systems before putting crew on board for the Demo-2 flight, currently targeted for July.

Crew Dragon will carry out a series of phasing maneuvers as it pursues the space station during approach. The spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock to the station's Harmony module forward port tomorrow, March 3, at about 6 a.m. EST. It will remain docked until approximately 2:30 a.m. on Friday, March 8. Crew Dragon is expected to return to Earth with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean at approximately 8:45 a.m. on Friday, March 8, a little more than six hours after departing the space station.

Opening a new era in American spaceflight, a Falcon 9 rocket streaked into space early Saturday, boosting the company's first Crew Dragon spacecraft into orbit on an unpiloted test flight, the first launch of a commercially developed capsule intended to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

Lighting up the deep overnight sky for miles around, the rocket's nine first stage engines ignited and throttled up to full thrust at 2:49 a.m. EST (GMT-5), generating 1.7 million pounds of thrust and quickly thundering skyward from launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.

Trailing a long jet of brilliant exhaust, the 215-foot-tall rocket smoothly accelerated as it shot away to the northeast, climbing directly into the plane of the International Space Station's orbit. The lab complex passed over Florida 26 minutes before liftoff and was sailing 258 miles above Iraq at the moment of launch.

Looking on 3.2 miles from the launch pad in the SpaceX launch control room were astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken, who plan to be aboard the next Crew Dragon when it takes off on the program's second test flight in the mid-summer timeframe. That will be the first launch of American astronauts aboard a U.S. rocket since the shuttle program ended in 2011.

"I can't begin to explain to you how exciting it is for a test pilot to be on a first flight of a vehicle," Hurley, a shuttle veteran and former Marine Corps F/A-18 test pilot, told reporters before launch. "We'll be ready when SpaceX and NASA are ready for us to fly it."

That will depend on how the unpiloted Crew Dragon does this week during the Commercial Crew Program's initial launch, a flight intended to thoroughly test the spacecraft's myriad systems before trusting it to carry astronauts.

Along with enduring the rigors of launch, the capsule must autonomously rendezvous and dock with the space station early Sunday and then return to Earth Friday with a hypersonic plunge back into the atmosphere and splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean east of Cape Canaveral.

"We're going to test its navigation capabilities, we're going to test avionics, telemetry, we're going to test the reaction control system, its ability to dock, its ability to re-enter," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "We're going to make assessments based on this about how it might need to be tweaked or changed.

"Eventually, we're going to do a launch abort test as well. And then depending on how all of these tests go, we want to launch American astronauts on American rockets from American soil for the first time since the retirement of the space shuttle (in 2011)."

While many hurdles remain before that goal is achieved, Elon Musk, founder and chief designer at SpaceX, said he was relieved the mission got off to such a trouble-free start, with all of the capsule's major systems operating normally after the climb to orbit.

"I'd like to express a very strong note of appreciation to the SpaceX team," he said at a post-launch news conference. "It's been 17 years to get to this point, from 2002 to now, an incredible amount of hard work and sacrifice from a lot of people to have gotten to this point.

"To be frank, I'm a little emotionally exhausted. That was super stressful, but it worked, so far. We have to dock with the station, we have to come back, but so far, it has worked. We've passed some of the riskiest items."

In a post-launch tweet, Bridenstine said the flight marked "a new chapter in American excellence, getting us closer to once again flying American astronauts on American rockets from American soil. Congratulations to the @SpaceX and @NASA teams for this major milestone in our nation's history."

The mission got off to a spectacular start, thrilling thousands of tourists and area residents expected to gather along Florida's "Space Coast."

The first stage engines powered the Falcon 9 out of the thick lower atmosphere, shutting down about two-and-a-half minutes after liftoff. The stage then fell away and headed for landing on an off-shore droneship while the single engine powering the Falcon 9's second stage continued the Crew Dragon's climb to orbit.

The second stage engine shut down about nine minutes after launch, about a minute before the first stage settled to a pinpoint landing on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship, chalking up SpaceX's 35th successful booster recovery.

A few moments later, the Crew Dragon capsule was released from the second stage, kicking off an automated 27-hour rendezvous with the space station.

If all goes well, the stubby capsule, carrying about 400 pounds of supplies and an instrumented astronaut test dummy nicknamed Ripley, after the heroine of the sci-fi thriller "Alien," will catch up with the lab complex early Sunday, approaching from behind and below before looping up to a point directly ahead of the station.

ISS commander Oleg Kononenko, flight engineer Anne McClain and Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques will be standing by inside the outpost, closely monitoring the Crew Dragon's trajectory and velocity to make sure it is performing as expected. They also plan to send commands to verify a station crew can abort an approach if necessary.

Once all of that is complete, the spacecraft will move in for a docking at the station's forward port around 6 a.m. as the two vehicles pass over the Pacific Ocean northwest of Samoa at nearly five miles per second. Hatches will be opened about two hours later.

The ship will remain attached to the station until next Friday when it will undock, fire its braking rockets and head for a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean 230 miles east of Cape Canaveral. Recovery crews will be stationed nearby to haul the capsule back to shore for extensive post-flight inspections.

A successful test flight, along with a critical in-flight test of the Falcon 9/Crew Dragon launch abort system in April, will help pave the way toward the first piloted test flight in the mid-July timeframe, ending an eight-year hiatus in NASA's human space launch capability.

"This is an invaluable exercise for us to learn in the space environment how these systems will be working, and then making sure that these systems are ready to go for when we're going to put our crews on," Kathy Lueders, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, told reporters Thursday. "We instrumented the crap out of this vehicle."

The Commercial Crew Program is the end result of a series of NASA-funded industry competitions in the wake of the shuttle's retirement to develop a new American spacecraft to carry astronauts to and from low-Earth orbit.

NASA has awarded Boeing multiple contracts totaling $4.82 billion to develop a commercial crew ship now known as the CST-100 Starliner, a capsule that will launch from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket.

SpaceX also won a series of contracts totaling some $3.1 billion to date to develop a piloted version of the company's Dragon cargo ship. The company holds a separate cargo contract valued at $3.04 billion for 20 space station resupply flights and another contract for an unspecified amount for at least six additional flights through 2024.

The NASA commercial crew contracts required both companies to provide funding of their own.

The Crew Dragon and CST-100 Starliner both will carry supplies and four astronauts at a time to the space station and both will approach the lab from directly ahead or above, docking at recently modified ports at the front end of the complex. The Starliner will return to a touchdown in the western United States while the Crew Dragon splashes down in the Atlantic Ocean east of Cape Canaveral.

Boeing plans to launch its CST-100 Starliner on an unpiloted test flight in the April-May timeframe. Assuming the uncrewed flights go well, along with remaining tests of each company's launch abort system, SpaceX plans to launch Behnken and Hurley aboard another Crew Dragon in the mid-summer timeframe. That mission is known as Demo 2.

Boeing's first piloted flight, carrying a crew of three, is expected this fall. If no major problems develop, operational crew rotation flights could begin before the end of the year, ending NASA's sole reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft for rides to and from the station.

But NASA is hedging its bets. The final two U.S.-contracted seats on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft will be used in July to launch NASA astronaut Drew Morgan and Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano. NASA managers are exploring an option to buy two more Soyuz seats, one for use this fall and another next spring.

That would ensure American-sponsored astronauts in orbit aboard the station through most of next year even if the commercial crew program runs into major problems or delays in the test program.

ЦУП поручил космонавту РФ обеспечить безопасность экипажа МКС при стыковке Crew Dragon

Российскую сторону больше всего беспокоит момент сближения с американским кораблем, отметил руководитель полета Владимир Соловьев

МОСКВА, 2 марта. /ТАСС/. Руководитель полета российского сегмента Международной космической станции (МКС) Владимир Соловьев рассказал космонавту Олегу Кононенко, как действовать в случае нештатной ситуации с новым американским кораблем Crew Dragon, который должен пристыковаться к станции 3 марта. Об этом сообщается в записи переговоров Соловьева из Центра управления полетами (ЦУП) со станцией.

"Тебе нужно находиться в районе Функционально-грузового блока "Заря", рядом с "Союзом", как спасательным кораблем, и быть готовым к проведению немедленных действий в случае любой опасности", - распорядился Соловьев.

Руководитель полета подчеркнул, что задача Кононенко - при любых непредвиденных обстоятельствах обеспечить присутствие всего экипажа МКС на российском сегменте в корабле "Союз". По словам Соловьева, РКК "Энергия" подготовила соответствующую радиограмму с описанием действий экипажа, которая будет направлена на борт.

Он уточнил, что российскую сторону больше всего беспокоит момент сближения Crew Dragon, когда на расстоянии нескольких десятков метров от борта МКС корабль должен сбросить скорость с 30 см/с до 8 см/с. Соловьев отметил, скорость 8 см/с довольно безопасна. Однако если "машина в 10 т [Crew Dragon] на скорости 0,3 м/с перестанет слушаться команд, то причина только одна - отказ компьютеров, а резервного режима нет", добавил руководитель полета (в российских "Союзах" есть резервный ручной режим, когда кораблем управляет космонавт со станции).

Соловьев сообщил Кононенко, что астронавты США в момент сближения нового корабля с МКС будут находиться на американском сегменте и следить за процессом. Они задраят люки на своем сегменте, к которому должен причалить Crew Dragon, при признаках нештатной ситуации.

Как сообщил в пятницу ТАСС исполнительный директор Роскосмоса по пилотируемым программам Сергей Крикалев, окончательная траектория стыковки Crew Dragon выбрана так, чтобы представлять наименьшую угрозу в случае отказов. В Роскосмосе также отмечали, что стыковка американского корабля Crew Dragon с МКС будет прервана в случае отклонения режима сближения от штатного.

О корабле Crew Dragon и составе экипажа МКС

Спойлер

С 2011 года к МКС из пилотируемых кораблей летают только российские "Союзы". Они доставляют российских, американских и других членов экипажа МКС. В США новые космические корабли для пилотируемых полетов разрабатывают компании SpaceX и Boeing. SpaceX представила пилотируемую версию корабля Crew Dragon (другое название - Dragon v2) в мае 2014 года. Его первый старт к МКС намечен на 2 марта.

Сейчас на борту Международной космической станции находятся космонавт Олег Кононенко (Роскосмос) и астронавты Энн Макклейн (NASA) и Давид Сен-Жак (Канадское космическое агентство).

The SpaceX Crew Dragon is pictured about 20 meters away from the International Space Station's Harmony module

After making 18 orbits of Earth since its launch early Saturday morning, the Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully attached to the International Space Station (http://www.nasa.gov/station)'s Harmony module forward port via "soft capture" at 5:51 a.m. EST while the station was traveling more than 250 miles over the Pacific Ocean, just north of New Zealand.

As the spacecraft approached the space station, it demonstrated its automated control and maneuvering capabilities by arriving in place at about 492 feet (150 meters) away from the orbital laboratory then reversing course and backing away from the station to 590 feet (180 meters) before the final docking sequence from about 65 feet (20 meters) away.

The Crew Dragon used the station's new international docking adapter (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/meet-the-international-docking-adapter) for the first time since astronauts installed it during a spacewalk (https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2016/08/19/spacewalk-concludes-after-commercial-crew-port-installation/) in August 2016, following its delivery to the station in the trunk of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on its ninth commercial resupply services mission.

For the Demo-1 mission, Crew Dragon is delivering more than 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the space station. A lifelike test device named Ripley also is aboard the spacecraft, outfitted with sensors to provide data about potential effects on humans traveling in Crew Dragon.

The Crew Dragon is designed to stay docked to station for up to 210 days, although the spacecraft used for this flight test will remain docked to the space station only five days, departing Friday, March 8.

Opening of the Crew Dragon hatch will air on NASA Television and the agency's website (https://www.nasa.gov/live) beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Bob Behnken, one of the astronauts set to ride Crew Dragon later this year, says he and crewmate Doug Hurley will be mostly along for the ride when their spaceship docks with the International Space Station.

(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/124397.jpg) (https://photo.24liveblog.com/2161705798090242445/20190303114444_345996.jpg)

Behnken, a veteran of two space shuttle flights to the station, was in Florida for Crew Dragon's launch Saturday, and traveled to SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, to be with the company's team during docking.

"It's just been a super exciting week for us," Behnken said. "We came from Florida after watching the launch, got on orbit, got activation done, and the next big milestone was autonomous docking, and getting that demonstrated.

"Of course, the station crew is monitoring, but that's how we're going to be getting Dragon on-board, docked on station in the future. So it was just super exciting to see it."

Behnken said flying on the Crew Dragon will be a different experience than flying on the space shuttle, which required four people on the flight deck to manually control the vehicle and monitor systems.

"Doug and I will do it (on Crew Dragon) for the first time together, primarily in a monitoring role," Behnken said. "We may push a button or two to demonstrate that we have the capability to intervene if we need to, but the vehicle is pretty much going to do the work autonomously, just like it did today."

"I'm happy to report that the initial look through the window, everything looks great," says Anne McClain, a space station flight engineer.

"Ripley and Earth both look like they enjoyed their trip up here, and I see no signs of any off-nominal, undetected event," McClain said, referring to the test dummy and a plush Earth toy that rode inside Crew Dragon for the trip up to the station.

Expedition 58 crew members enter the SpaceX Crew Dragon for the first time. They are wearing protective gear to avoid breathing particulate matter that may shaken loose during launch.

Aboard the space station, NASA astronaut Anne McClain (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/anne-c-mcclain), David Saint-Jacques (http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/canadian/active/bio-david-saint-jacques.asp) of the Canadian Space Agency, and Russian cosmonaut and Expedition 58 commander Oleg Kononenko (http://www.gctc.ru/main.php?id=3304) opened the hatch between the Crew Dragon and the orbital laboratory at 8:07 a.m. EST.

The crew members opened the hatch to Crew Dragon following standard leak checks and pressurization since the spacecraft completed its hard dock to the station at 6:02 a.m., the first autonomous docking of any U.S. spacecraft to the International Space Station.

In addition to carrying Ripley, an anthropomorphic test device outfitted with sensors to provide data about potential effects on future astronauts who will travel in the Crew Dragon. NASA also sent more than 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the space station, including bulk overwrap bags containing more than 1,000 food and drink (https://nasa.tumblr.com/post/167770900329/lets-talk-about-foodin-space) packages for the crew.

For operational missions, Crew Dragon will be able to launch as many as four crew members and carry more than 220 pounds of cargo, enabling the expansion of the inhabitants of the space station, increasing the time dedicated to research (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/overview.html) in the unique microgravity environment, and returning more science back to Earth.

The Expedition 58 crew members will host a welcoming ceremony for the Crew Dragon that will air on NASA Television and the agency's website (https://www.nasa.gov/live)beginning at 10:45 a.m.

SpaceX (SpX) Crew Dragon Demonstration 1:
On Saturday, SpX Crew Dragon successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) atop a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket at 1:49 AM CT. On Sunday, the vehicle successfully performed an autonomous rendezvous and docking onto the Node 2 forward International Docking Adapter (IDA). Soft capture occurred at 4:51 AM CT and hard mate was accomplished at 5:02 AM CT. Once docked, the Crew performed pressure checks, opened hatches, then ingressed the vehicle and took samples of the atmosphere. This uncrewed flight test marks a significant step towards returning capability to launch astronauts on a U.S. built spacecraft from U.S. soil. Undocking and splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean is planned for March 8.

ЦитироватьSpaceX Crew Dragon Hatch Opened after Successfully Docking to Station

Expedition 58 crew members enter the SpaceX Crew Dragon for the first time. They are wearing protective gear to avoid breathing particulate matter that may have shaken loose during launch.

After making 18 orbits of Earth since its launch early Saturday morning, the Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully attached to the International Space Station (http://www.nasa.gov/station)'s Harmony module forward port via "soft capture" Sunday, March 3, at 5:51 a.m. EST while the station was traveling more than 250 miles over the Pacific Ocean, just north of New Zealand. Less than three hours later, Expedition 58 crew members opened the hatch to the Crew Dragon, the first commercially built American spacecraft designed to carry humans to the orbiting laboratory.

As the spacecraft approached the space station, it demonstrated its automated control and maneuvering capabilities by arriving in place at about 492 feet (150 meters) away from the orbital laboratory then reversing course and backing away from the station to 590 feet (180 meters) before the final docking sequence from about 65 feet (20 meters) away.

The Crew Dragon used the station's new international docking adapter (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/meet-the-international-docking-adapter) for the first time since astronauts installed it during a spacewalk (https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2016/08/19/spacewalk-concludes-after-commercial-crew-port-installation/) in August 2016, following its delivery to the station in the trunk of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on its ninth commercial resupply services mission.

Aboard the space station, NASA astronaut Anne McClain (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/anne-c-mcclain), David Saint-Jacques (http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/canadian/active/bio-david-saint-jacques.asp) of the Canadian Space Agency, and Russian cosmonaut and Expedition 58 commander Oleg Kononenko (http://www.gctc.ru/main.php?id=3304) opened the hatch between the Crew Dragon and the orbital laboratory at 8:07 a.m. EST.

The crew members opened the hatch to Crew Dragon following standard leak checks and pressurization since the spacecraft completed its hard dock to the station at 6:02 a.m., the first autonomous docking of any U.S. spacecraft to the International Space Station.

For the Demo-1 mission, Crew Dragon is delivering more than 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the space station. A lifelike test device named Ripley also is aboard the spacecraft, outfitted with sensors to provide data about potential effects on humans traveling in Crew Dragon.

The Crew Dragon is designed to stay docked to station for up to 210 days, although the spacecraft used for this flight test will remain docked to the space station only five days, departing Friday, March 8.

Expedition 58 capped off its busy weekend with additional outfitting for the SpaceX Crew Dragon, which had only completed its hard dock to the International Space Station (https://www.nasa.gov/station) yesterday morning as part of the Demo-1 uncrewed flight test.

After opening the hatch between the two spacecraft, the crewmates configured Crew Dragon for its stay while barnacled to the orbiting laboratory. This work included installation of the intramodule ventilation system, which helps cycle air from Crew Dragon to station. The crew members ticked off additional items from their checklist, also installing window covers and checking valves before taking part in a welcoming ceremony for the visiting vehicle at 10:45 a.m. EST Sunday, which aired on NASA Television.

Today, NASA astronaut Anne McClain (https://www.nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/anne-c-mcclain), David Saint-Jacques (http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/canadian/active/bio-david-saint-jacques.asp) of the Canadian Space Agency and Russian cosmonaut and Expedition 58 Commander Oleg Kononenko (http://www.gctc.ru/main.php?id=3304) went over emergency procedures specific to Crew Dragon's stay in orbit. While Crew Dragon is designed to remain docked to the space station for up to 210 days, this test of the spacecraft will be much shorter, ending early Friday morning. Crew Dragon is expected to return to Earth with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean at approximately 8:45 a.m. on Friday, March 8—a little more than six hours after its separation from station.

The uncrewed SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft is the first Commercial Crew vehicle to visit the International Space Station. Here it is pictured with its nose cone open revealing its docking mechanism while approaching the station's Harmony module on March 3, 2019.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon (https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew)'s hatch is closed and the stage is set for the Commercial Crew Program (https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/commercial/crew/index.html)'s first undocking and return to Earth Friday. As NASA and SpaceX get ready for Friday's splashdown, the Expedition 58 (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition58/index.html) crew continued exploring a variety of space physics phenomena aboard the International Space Station (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html).

The uncrewed SpaceX DM-1 mission has one final milestone and that is the safe return to Earth with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean around 8:45 a.m. EST Friday. The Crew Dragon will undock Friday at 2:31 a.m. from the Harmony module (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/elements/harmony)'s international docking adapter. NASA TV will broadcast the departure and return activities live.

The first commercial crew vehicle from SpaceX will be bringing back over 330 pounds of science gear, crew supplies and station hardware. It delivered almost 450 pounds of materials to resupply the station crew on March 3 (https://go.nasa.gov/2EKruFt).

Science took precedence as usual aboard the orbital lab today as SpaceX prepares to welcome its Crew Dragon back on Earth.

"Dragon hatch closed, 17:39 GMT," Saint-Jacques reported to the team in the space station flight control room at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston, giving the time in Greenwich Mean Time.

The Crew Dragon's splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean will complete its five-day uncrewed Demo-1 mission dedicated to testing the company's end-to-end system designed to return human launches to the International Space Station from the United States as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. On board for the spacecraft's return is a lifelike, anthropomorphic test device named Ripley, outfitted with sensors to provide data about potential effects on humans traveling in Crew Dragon for critical phases like ascent, entry and landing.

Coverage of the Crew Dragon undocking will begin on NASA Television and the agency's website (https://www.nasa.gov/live) at 2 a.m. Friday, March 8, with physical separation of the spacecraft expected at about 2:31 a.m.

Live coverage from SpaceX mission control in Hawthorne and NASA mission control at Johnson Space Center in Houston will resume at 7:30 a.m. for the spacecraft's deorbit burn scheduled at 7:50 a.m. and continue through Crew Dragon's anticipated splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean at 8:45 a.m.

ЦитироватьЭкипаж МКС задраил люк корабля Dragon-2
Вчера, 20:57

ВАШИНГТОН, 7 мар – РИА Новости. Экипаж Международной космической станции (МКС) задраил люк новейшего американского космического корабля Dragon-2, чтобы он вернулся на Землю, сообщило НАСА в четверг.

Корабль до этого прошел первый испытательный полет в беспилотном режиме.

Ведомство на своем сайте ведет прямую трансляцию закрытие люка космического корабля. Его провел канадский астронавт Давид Сен-Жак, которому помогал российский космонавт Олег Кононенко. В НАСА подготовку к отбытию корабля со станции называют "началом конца" его первого испытательного полета.

Если все пройдет штатно, Dragon-2 отстыкуется от МКС в 10.31 мск в пятницу. По графику НАСА и SpaceX, корабль должен сойти с орбиты и затем приводниться в Атлантическом океане ориентировочно в 15.45 мск в пятницу.

Аппарат возвращает на землю около 136 килограммов груза, в том числе результаты научных экспериментов, проведенных на орбите. В корабле также вернется на Землю манекен Рипли, названный в честь героини фильмов "Чужие".

Спойлер

Dragon-2 прибыл на МКС 3 марта после успешного старта с космодрома на мысе Канаверал (Флорида). Это первое испытание США новейшего пилотируемого корабля в рамках программы пилотируемых полетов, прерванной в 2011 году после завершения полетов кораблей "Шаттл".

Mission control has given the "go" for Crew Dragon's undocking from the International Space Station.

Once the undocking sequence begins, two power and data umbilicals inside the docking mechanism will retract, and two sets of hooks will open to allow for physical separation between Crew Dragon and the space station.

The uncrewed SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft just moments afterundocking from the International Space Station

At 2:32 a.m. EST, Crew Dragon undocked from the International Space Station (http://www.nasa.gov/station) to begin the final phase of its uncrewed Demo-1 flight test. The spacecraft is slowly maneuvering away from the orbital laboratory into an orbital track that will return it and its cargo safely to Earth.

NASA will continue to provide live coverage (http://www.nasa.gov/live) until Crew Dragon is out of the immediate area of the station and will resume at 7:30 a.m. for the reentry, splashdown, and recovery.

In about five hours, the Crew Dragon will separate from its trunk whose exterior contains a solar array that provided power to Dragon and a radiator to reject heat.

Following separation, Crew Dragon's thrusters will initiate the spacecraft's deorbit burn at about 7:53 a.m. The 15-minute, 25-second burn will place the Crew Dragon on its final re-entry path into Earth's atmosphere. The spacecraft is expected to splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean at about 8:45 a.m., its speed slowed by an enhanced parachute system in which drogue parachutes will deploy about four minutes before landing to unfurl four main chutes less than a minute later.

After Crew Dragon lands in the Atlantic Ocean, SpaceX's recovery ship will recover it and return it to Port Canaveral, Florida to conclude its mission.

SpaceX's inaugural mission with NASA's Commercial Crew Program is an important end-to-end to test of the new system's capabilities.

Американский корабль Crew Dragon успешно отстыковался от МКС

Москва. 8 марта. INTERFAX.RU - Новейший американский космический корабль многоразового использования Crew Dragon компании SpaceX в пятницу в 10:30 по Москве после пятидневного совместного полета успешно отстыковался от Международной космической станции (МКС), сообщило Национальное управление США по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (НАСА).

Накануне экипаж МКС закрыл люки на корабле и на стыковочном узле американского модуля Harmony.

После пятичасового автономного полета Crew Dragon будет сведен с орбиты. В атмосфере Земли на спускаемой капсуле должны раскрыться парашюты, и она совершит приводнение в Атлантическом океане.

Затем спускаемая капсула, которая доставит результаты научных экспериментов, проведенных экипажем МКС, будет поднята с поверхности воды на специальное спасательное судно компании SpaceX.

В рамках тестового непилотируемого полета Crew Dragon доставил для экипажа МКС 182 кг продовольствия, научного оборудования и материалов.

Американский корабль Crew Dragon расстыковался с МКС

По данным NASA, корабль совершит приводнение в Атлантическом океане примерно в 16:45 мск

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 8 марта. /ТАСС/. Американский космический корабль Crew Dragon , совершающий пробный полет в беспилотном режиме, расстыковался в пятницу с Международной космической станцией (МКС). Как сообщило на своем сайте (https://www.nasa.gov/) Национальное управление по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA), процедура расстыковки началась в 02:31 по времени восточного побережья США (10:31 мск) и проводится в автоматическом режиме.

Спойлер

Спустя пять часов после отделения корабля от МКС, ориентировочно в 07:30 по времени восточного побережья США (15:30 мск), включатся тормозные двигатели. Маневр будет продолжаться примерно 15 минут. Корабль сойдет с орбиты, затем в плотных слоях атмосферы раскроется парашют и Crew Dragon совершит приводнение в Атлантическом океане примерно в 08:45 по времени восточного побережья США (16:45 мск).

[свернуть]

Как отметил перед началом процедуры расстыковки интернет-портал Space.com (https://www.space.com/), возвращение корабля на Землю может оказаться самой сложной частью полета.

После доставки корабля на космодром специалисты компании SpaceX и NASA проведут подробный анализ работы систем корабля и в случае, если не будет обнаружено никаких сбоев в работе аппаратуры, в июле состоится запуск корабля с пилотами Бобом Бенкеном и Дугом Хэрли на борту. Они должны будут провести на борту МКС несколько недель. Если их полет будет успешным, то NASA примет решение о сертификации Crew Dragon для регулярных полетов.

The next steps in the Crew Dragon spacecraft's journey back to Earth include additional thruster firings to begin lower its orbit at 3:24 a.m. EST (0824 GMT) and 4:10 a.m. EST (0910 GMT).

The ship's unpressurized trunk, where its solar panels and radiator are mounted, will be jettisoned at 7:48 a.m. EST (1248 GMT), followed by ignition of the capsule's Draco thrusters at 7:52:53 a.m. EST (1252:53 GMT) for a 15-minute, 25-second deorbit burn. The braking burn will allow the capsule to fall back into the atmosphere, while the trunk remains in orbit to naturally re-enter later.

The nose cone will close over the capsule's hatch and docking mechanism at 8:11 a.m. EST (1311 GMT), followed by Crew Dragon's first encounter with the upper atmosphere -- an event known as entry interface -- at 8:33 a.m. EST (1333 GMT). After a brief communications blackout, the ship will begin its parachute deployment sequence at 8:41 a.m. EST (1341 GMT), first with drogue stabilization chutes, followed by the release of four main chutes.

The capsule will re-enter the atmosphere on a northwest-to-southeast flight path over the United States, targeting splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of Cape Canaveral at 8:45 a.m. EST (1345 GMT).

SpaceX and NASA have released no map of the capsule's re-entry track or splashdown zone -- as was standard practice during space shuttle descents -- but recovery ships are located more than 200 miles northeast of Cape Canaveral, roughly due east of the Florida/Georgia border.

The "Go Searcher" vessel is in action for the first time today for a real spacecraft recovery, after multiple rehearsals at sea using mock-ups of the Crew Dragon. The ship has an aft lifting frame to hoist the capsule out of the water onto the deck, allowing crews to disembark the capsule on the boat.

Go Searcher also has a medical treatment facility and a helipad on-board, allowing astronauts to undergo health checks after their return from space, and an emergency evacuation to a hospital on shore, if required.
