Intermittent Loss of Space to Ground (S/G) 1 and 2 Audio:

Over the weekend, the ACS/UHF Audio Interface (AUAI)-1P associated with S-band String 2 started to show intermittent functionality and multiple error indications. As a result, Space To Ground (S/G) channels 1 and 2 audio became mostly unavailable. Ground teams performed troubleshooting on AUAI-1P with no success. A switchover to AUAI-2S restored full audio functionality through S-Band String 1. S/G channels 3 and 4 were unaffected by the problem. AUIA-1P has been on orbit since the US Lab was launched. There is one spare AUAI on orbit. Teams are discussing a forward plan.

А то, что по англицки - ну так попробуйте на сайтах хотя бы двух организаций (они вроде как официально отвечают за работу Российского сегмента МКС) - Роскосмоса и Энергии - найти подробные материалы по ежедневным событиям на МКС. Максимум - структура и состав станции, когда что вывели, экипаж, задачи полёта, иногда оповестят о коррекции орбиты, ну или запуск к МКС какой-нито. И сравните с сайтом НАСА в части МКС (там много чего - в ветках дерева можно заблудиться, много кросс-ссылок на собственные же ресурсы) - как минимум ежедневные блоги о событиях на станции и отдельно о научных экспериментах. Про российские СМИ даже первого эшелона промолчу - кроме командно-административных других слов у меня чаще всего нет... Печально сие

поверьте,на работе и с окружающими я уже 17 лет в основном говорю на английском.

но приходя на РОССИЙСКИЙ сайт об одном из важнейших направлений в науке и технике(космонавтика)
 я ожидаю текст на русском. иначе я бы посещал англоязычные сайты.
логично?

чаще всего я проматываю «портянки» на иностранных языках.

и причем тут сравнение сайтов росскосмоса и наса

Речь не о том, что Фёдор Николаевич не информирует, а о том что о его деятельности (равно как и деятельности Сергея Рязанского, а до него - других российских космонавтов) не информирует (от слова совсем) сайт Роскосмоса...   . Приходится обращаться к иноязычным источникам. К сожалению, в силу первого предложения, иноязычные источники становятся основными информресурсами   .

Это была ирония. В английском пересказе событий нет и намека на проблемы со спутником связи. Проблемы в интерфейсе, который запихивает звук в трафик. Разница большая - десяток микросхем в небольшой коробочке на МКС и громадном спутнике с СБ. В русскоязычном пересказе про "Луч", который лучше всех.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/08/2017
Posted on August 8, 2017 at 4:00 pm by HQ.

Fluids Integrated Rack (FIR):

Спойлер

The crew replaced the two FIR white lights. One was burned out and the other had high usage and was nearing its end of life. After replacement, the rack was powered from the ground and the Payload Developer verified both lights were functioning properly. The next FIR science operations will occur next week for Light Microscopy Module (LMM) Biophysics 3.

Human Research Program (HRP):

Спойлер

The crew collected blood, urine and air samples to satisfy Flight Day 15 Biochemical Profile and Flight Day 8 Marrow requirements.

[/li]
• The Biochem Profile experiment tests blood and urine samples obtained from astronauts before, during and after spaceflight. Specific proteins and chemicals in the samples are used as biomarkers, or indicators of health. Post-flight analysis yields a database of samples and test results which scientists can use to study the effects of spaceflight on the body.
• The Marrow investigation looks at the effect of microgravity on bone marrow. It is believed that microgravity, like long-duration bed rest on Earth, has a negative effect on the bone marrow and the blood cells that are produced in the bone marrow.
  

[свернуть]

Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF):

Спойлер

The crew swapped sample cartridges in the ELF and investigated an unidentified object on the ELF observation window that is affecting sample position control. The ELF is an experimental facility designed to levitate, melt and solidify materials by containerless processing techniques using the Electrostatic Levitation method. With this facility, thermophysical properties of high temperature melts can be measured, and solidification from deeply undercooled melts can be achieved.

[свернуть]

At Home In Space:

Спойлер

The crew completed an At Home in Space questionnaire today. This Canadian Space Agency experiment assesses culture, values, and psychosocial adaptation of astronauts to a space environment shared by multinational crews on long-duration missions. It is hypothesized that astronauts develop a shared space culture that is an adaptive strategy for handling cultural differences and they deal with the isolated confined environment of the spacecraft by creating a home in space. At Home In Space uses a questionnaire to investigate individual and culturally related differences, family functioning, values, coping with stress, and post-experience growth.

Rodent Research-5 (RR-5) Systemic Therapy of NELL-1 for Osteoporosis:

Спойлер

Yesterday the crew stowed the RR-5 Habitats, completing payload operations for RR-5. Because spaceflight has significant and rapid effects on the musculoskeletal system, it is important to investigate targeted therapies that could ameliorate some of the detrimental effects of spaceflight. The NELL-1 drug being studied in the RR-5 investigation has the potential to slow or reverse bone loss during spaceflight.

Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Communication Unit (CUCU):

Спойлер

In preparation for SpX-12 arrival currently planned for August 16, the crew powered up and checked out the CUCU and Dragon Crew Command Panel (CCP). CUCU provides a command and telemetry communications link between ISS and Dragon during free flight operations in the vicinity of ISS.

On Board Training (OBT) ISS Emergency Response Simulation:

Спойлер

All crew members participated in this training exercise to practice a rapid depress and a fire emergency response based on information provided by the simulator displays. The crew also performed the following:

[/li]
• Physically translated through ISS to the appropriate response locations to visualize the use of station equipment and interfaces.
• Practiced procedure execution and associated decision making based on cues provided by the simulator.
• Practiced communication and coordination with Mission Control Center (MCC)-Houston and MCC-Moscow as required for a given emergency scenario.
  

Following the exercise, the crew and ground teams participated in a review to discuss results and address questions and comments.

Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Operations:

Спойлер

Yesterday and overnight, Robotics Ground Controllers maneuvered the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to grapple and unstow the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) from Mobile Base System (MBS) Power Data Grapple Fixture 2 (PDGF2). Next they rotated the SPDM Enhanced Orbital Replacement Unit (ORU) Temporary Platform (EOTP), then maneuvered the SSRMS and SPDM to unstow the Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) from External Stowage Platform 2 (ESP2) Site 4 and stow it on EOTP Side 2.

Station Boosts Orbit, Dragon Launch Slips a Day
Posted on August 9, 2017 at 1:44 pm by Mark Garcia.


Astronaut Peggy Whitson works on the Combustion Integrated Rack in the U.S. Destiny laboratory module.

A docked Russian cargo craft fired its engines today slightly raising the orbit of the International Space Station. The orbital boost sets up next month's crew swap. The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft also received a new target launch date while the crew gets ready for a spacewalk next week.

Спойлер

NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer will return to Earth on Sept. 2 with cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin wrapping up their Expedition 52 mission. Fischer and Yurchikhin will each have lived 135 consecutive days in space while Whitson will have 289 days. The next crew, with cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin and astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba, launches Sept. 13 to begin a 167-day mission in space.

SpaceX announced a one-day launch slip of its Dragon cargo craft atop a Falcon 9 rocket. Dragon is now targeted to launch Monday at 12:31 p.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center. Fischer and astronaut Paolo Nespoli of the European Space Agency are training for Dragon's arrival and capture planned for Wednesday at 7 a.m.

Two cosmonauts are also gearing up for a spacewalk amidst the cargo mission and crew swap preparations. The experienced Russian spacewalkers, Yurchikhin with eight career spacewalks and Sergey Ryazanskiy with three, performed leak checks, installed batteries and sized up their Orlan spacesuits and ahead of their Aug. 17 spacewalk.

ISS Completes Scheduled Reboost, External Robots Fetch Failed Power Unit for Internal Repairs
August 9, 2017

The International Space Station conducted a scheduled orbital reboost on Wednesday amid ongoing robotics work to move a failed power switching unit to the interior of the Station for a first-of-its-kind repair attempt in orbit that could pave the way for future component repairs on long-duration missions into the Solar System.

Wednesday's reboost maneuver was carried out by the engines of the Progress MS-06 spacecraft currently docked to the aft-end of the Station's Zvezda module – capable of providing propulsive support to ISS while in its nominal duty attitude with Zvezda pointed to the negative velocity vector. Progress MS-06 ignited a subset of its DPO thrusters at 12:25 UTC and fired for 125.1 seconds, accelerating the Space Station by 0.25 meters per second.

The reboost maneuver was designed to begin to set up phasing for the landing of the Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft with Fyodor Yurchikhin, Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson on September 2/3 with undocking scheduled around 22 UTC on the 2nd and touchdown at 1:25 UTC on the 3rd.

It also began setting up for the fast-track rendezvous of the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft targeting liftoff at 21:17 UTC on September 12 and docking six hours after launch to bring Aleksandr Misurkin, Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba to their orbital workplace. Another reboost by Progress MS-06 is planned on August 25 to complete the phasing setup.

Also underway this week are a series of robotic operations to retrieve a failed Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) from an external stowage location and move it into ISS via the Japanese Experiment Module's Airlock to attempt a first-time repair attempt on a large Orbital Replacement Unit (ORU).

Prerequisites for the operation were completed last week after the robotic arm was used to conduct an external survey of the Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft to verify it did not sustain any damage over the course of its stay in orbit. Canadarm2 completed a triple walk-off and the Mobile Transporter moved to Work Site 3 on Friday to be ready for robotics to resume on Monday.

Monday's activities involved unstowing the Dextre robot and retrieving the MBSU Flight Releasable Attachment Mechanism (FRAM) from External Stowage Platform 2 (ESP-2) followed by stowing the FRAM on Dextre's Enhanced ORU Temporary Platform (EOTP). In the overnight hours to Tuesday, Dextre unstowed the MBSU from ESP-2 Site 4 and transferred it to EOTP-2 for the transfer over to the Kibo Airlock.

Tuesday night and into Wednesday, the Mobile Transporter was moved to Work Site 7 and Dextre again unstowed the MBSU and handed it off to the Japanese Remote Manipulator System which then installed the MBSU on the Kibo Airlock Slide Table to transfer into the airlock.

The Main Bus Switching Unit is one of two failed units that were stowed externally on ISS, one was removed in a two-EVA effort back in 2012 and one was replaced robotically in May 2017, marking the first large ORU to be replaced by the Station's robots without EVA assistance. Both of these MBSUs failed in a similar fashion with a sudden loss of communications, though both continued to pass power after the initial fault. The loss of commandability and insight required replacements of the units with in-orbit spares, but both are considered viable spares if their communications subsystems can be restored.

ISS has four active Main Bus Switching Units – each accepts primary power from two of the station's power channels which it then distributes downstream to direct-current converters that create the secondary power flow to the various users.

The MBSUs are rather sizeable Orbital Replacement Units, measuring 71 x 101.6 x 30.5 centimeters in dimensions and weighing 99.8 Kilograms. Internally, the unit comprises Remote Bus Isolators as part of a pair of Bus Bar Assemblies, each with a Current Sensor Assembly and a central control network.


Internal & External MBSU Structure – Image: Boeing

A Switchgear Controller Assembly is responsible for commanding the MBSU, monitoring its health and transmitting status telemetry – SCA is the primary suspect in both in-orbit MBSU failures since both continued to show stable power switching after the problem emerged.

Being transferred to the inside of ISS, the MBSU will undergo a series of diagnostic tests before repairs will be attempted by the crew – likely through replacing internal modules after the fault is isolated to one of the MBSU's elements. The ISS crew in the past has completed repairs on smaller ORUs like Multiplexer/Demultiplexer computer boxes which can be easily re-fitted with internal cards, but complex repairs like the MBSU were previously only completed on the ground after the defective units were returned on the Space Shuttle. However, with the Shuttle no longer flying and the need to learn about onboard repairs for future long-distance missions, it was decided to broaden the Station's onboard repertoire for repairing external components.

If successful, the MBSU repair will confirm ISS has the capability of dealing with onboard failures even if no complete spare is available and, potentially more importantly, provide confidence for future Beyond Earth Orbit missions that will not have the option of carrying lots of complete spares or waiting for a new component to be sent up from Earth.

In terms of upcoming operations, the Station is awaiting the launch of the Dragon SpX-12 mission that slipped from a Sunday to a Monday target with arrival at ISS drifting to August 16. On the 17th, Russian Cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazansky will venture outside on a planned six-hour and five-minute spacewalk to complete tasks on the exterior of the Russian segment and release a group of five small satellites.

Should Dragon slip further for any reason, re-planning will be required to either push the Russian EVA or delay Dragon's launch since at least two days of tracking data is needed after the deployment of CubeSats to ensure the rendezvous path of Dragon will not cross paths with one of the satellites.
