NASA's SpaceX Demo-2: Return Flight Readiness Review in Progress

Anna Heiney
Posted Jul 29, 2020 at 10:49 am

NASA and SpaceX officials are meeting remotely via teleconference today to review plans and preparations for the return of NASA's SpaceX Demo-2 test flight. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will return to Earth aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft after approximately two months at the International Space Station.

The spacecraft's splashdown will be the first return of a commercially built and operated American spacecraft carrying astronauts from the space station.

Today's Return Flight Readiness Review is led by Kathy Lueders, NASA's associate administrator of the Human Exploration and Operations. Commercial Crew Program Manager Steve Stich and International Space Station Program Manager Joel Montalbano will follow, with several officials from NASA and SpaceX providing input from their organizations. Lueders will conduct a final readiness poll at the conclusion at the review.

A Return Flight Readiness Review briefing will follow on NASA TV and the agency's website from the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Participants are:

• NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine
• Steve Stich, manager, NASA's Commercial Crew Program
• Joel Montalbano, manager, NASA's International Space Station Program
• Benji Reed, director, crew mission management, SpaceX

The test flight also is helping NASA certify SpaceX's crew transportation system for regular flights carrying astronauts to and from the space station. SpaceX is readying the hardware for the first rotational mission, which would occur following NASA certification.

The goal of NASA's Commercial Crew Program is safe, reliable and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station. This could allow for additional research time and increase the opportunity for discovery aboard humanity's testbed for exploration, including helping us prepare for human exploration of the Moon and Mars.

• NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine
• Steve Stich, manager, NASA's Commercial Crew Program
• Joel Montalbano, manager, NASA's International Space Station Program
• Benji Reed, director, crew mission management, SpaceX

The test flight also is helping NASA certify SpaceX's crew transportation system for regular flights carrying astronauts to and from the space station. SpaceX is readying the hardware for the first rotational mission, which would occur following NASA certification.

Crew Dragon отстыкуется от МКС 1 августа

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 30 июля. /ТАСС/. Американский космический корабль Crew Dragon с астронавтами Дагом Херли и Робертом Бенкеном отстыкуется от Международной космической станции (МКС) в 19:34 в субботу, 1 августа (02:34 мск 2 августа), и, как ожидается, совершит приводнение у берегов Флориды в 14:42 (21:42 мск) в воскресенье, 2 августа. Об этом сообщили представители Национального управления по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA) на состоявшейся в среду видеоконференции. Трансляция шла на сайте NASA.

"Мы завершили процесс подготовки к возвращению корабля, - отметил директор NASA Джим Брайденстайн. - Астронавты Даг Хёрли и Роберт Бенкен вернутся на Землю, первая возможность для этого откроется 2 августа, но, конечно, многое зависит от погодных условий". Джим Брайденстайн сообщил, что "астронавт NASA Крис Кэссиди останется на борту МКС еще некоторое время". Сейчас на борту МКС работают трое американских астронавтов и российские космонавты Анатолий Иванишин и Иван Вагнер.

Как отметил в ходе брифинга менеджер коммерческой программы полетов Стив Стич, отстыковка корабля пройдет в автоматическом режиме, а точка приводнения у побережья Флориды будет зависеть от погодных условий. "Имеющиеся на борту корабля запасы позволяют осуществлять полет на протяжении трех суток после отстыковки от МКС", - добавил он.

За сутки до начала тормозного маневра перед входом корабля в атмосферу будут отобраны две наиболее подходящих точки для приводнения, отметил представитель NASA. При этом будут учитываться такие параметры, как высота волн, сила ветра, отсутствие осадков или грозового фронта, видимость, возможности для полетов вертолетов поисково-спасательных групп. В операции по эвакуации астронавтов будут задействованы более 40 специалистов, два поисково-спасательных судна, два скоростных катера и несколько вертолетов. Один из скоростных катеров проверит герметичность приводнившегося корабля, второй осуществит эвакуацию парашютной системы.

После эвакуации астронавтов с корабля на борт поисково-спасательного судна они пройдут медосмотр и, как ожидается, через четыре часа после приводнения будут доставлены во Флориду либо вертолетом, либо на борту судна.

О корабле

Спойлер

Корабль Crew Dragon, выведенный на орбиту ракетой-носителем Falcon 9 30 мая, пристыковался в автоматическом режиме к МКС 31 мая. Он представляет собой модификацию грузового корабля Dragon, который уже доставляет грузы на МКС. Астронавты Херли и Бенкен присвоили ему название Endeavour по аналогии с кораблем программы Space Shuttle, на котором оба астронавта выполняли свои первые космические полеты.

Запуск Crew Dragon стал первым за девять лет пилотируемым полетом, осуществляемым с территории США на американском космическом корабле. NASA прекратило пилотируемые полеты в 2011 году после завершения программы использования возвращаемых кораблей. С тех пор астронавты доставлялись на МКС российскими "Союзами". Первоначально предполагалось, что американские коммерческие корабли начнут осуществлять пилотируемые полеты в 2017 году.

Following a comprehensive review of the latest weather forecast in the areas surrounding each of seven potential splashdown locations, NASA and SpaceX have decided to move forward with plans to bring NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley home to Earth with a splashdown off the Florida coast on Sunday, Aug. 2, aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft.

Teams will continue to closely monitor Tropical Storm Isaias and evaluate impacts to weather around the Florida peninsula, including the potential splashdown sites in the Gulf of Mexico and along the state's Atlantic coast. NASA and SpaceX will make a decision on a primary splashdown target approximately 6 hours before undocking Saturday.

Undocking remains scheduled for approximately 7:34 p.m. EDT Saturday, Aug. 1, and splashdown at 2:42 p.m. EDT on Sunday. This will mark the first return of a commercially built and operated American spacecraft carrying astronauts from the space station, and it will wrap up NASA's SpaceX Demo-2 mission after more than two months at the International Space Station.

The Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying Hurley and Behnken lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 30 and arrived at the space station the following day. The Demo-2 test flight is helping NASA certify SpaceX's crew transportation system for regular flights carrying astronauts to and from the orbiting laboratory. SpaceX is readying the hardware for the first rotational mission, which would occur following NASA certification.
