Источник: повышение уровня бензола зафиксировали на МКС из-за сбоя в датчиках сегмента США
Речь идет о сбое в газоанализаторах

ТАСС, 20 мая. Повышение концентрации бензола на Международной космической станции (МКС) показали датчики на американском сегменте, рассматривается возможность сбоя в газоанализаторах. Об этом сообщил в среду ТАСС источник, близкий к NASA.

"Сигнализация о повышении концентрации бензола в атмосфере станции была выдана датчиками только американского сегмента МКС", - рассказал собеседник агентства.

Источник уточнил, что "ввиду отсутствия соответствующих показателей на газоанализаторах российской части станции, рассматривается вероятность сбоя в оборудовании американского сегмента".

Ранее СМИ сообщили о повышении концентрации бензола в атмосфере Международной космической станции. В Роскосмосе в этой связи сообщили ТАСС, что предельно допустимая концентрация вещества не превышена, поэтому экипажу ничего не угрожает. Члены экипажа сейчас ведут наблюдения за уровнем бензола в атмосфере.

На борту МКС активировали системы для вывода бензола из атмосферы
Никакой опасности для экипажа станции нет

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 22 мая. /ТАСС/. Специалисты активировали на борту Международной космической станции (МКС) системы очистки в связи с зафиксированным повышением концентрации бензола, никакой опасности для экипажа нет. Об этом в четверг сообщил ТАСС официальный представитель NASA Гэри Джордан.

"В течение последних нескольких недель аппаратура на борту фиксировала повышенную концентрацию бензола в атмосфере [станции]", - отметил он. Джордан констатировал, что предельно допустимая норма не превышена, никакой угрозы для экипажа или оборудования орбитального комплекса нет.

"На борту станции были активированы системы для вывода бензола из атмосферы, - отметил Джордан. - Американские и российские специалисты совместно работают над тем, чтобы выявить источник и принять необходимые меры для устранения проблемы".

В госкорпорации "Роскосмос" также ранее на этой неделе сообщили, что предельно допустимая концентрация вещества не превышена, поэтому экипажу ничего не угрожает.

Непродолжительное вдыхание паров бензола не вызывает немедленного отравления. Если речь идет о большой концентрации, это может вызвать у человек тошноту, головокружение. В некоторых случаях возможно отравление.

На МКС опробовали независимую от США российскую систему связи
18:14 22.05.2020

МОСКВА, 22 мая - РИА Новости. Российские космонавты на борту Международной космической станции протестировали независимую от США высокоскоростную систему обмена информацией с Землей, сообщил космонавт Александр Скворцов.

Он возвратился с МКС в феврале на пилотируемом корабле "Союз МС-13" вместе с итальянцем Лукой Пармитано и американкой Кристиной Кук.

"На российском сегменте появилась своя широкополосная система связи. И мне довелось ее опробовать: картинка потрясающая, как у хорошего цифрового телевидения, и голосовая задержка совсем маленькая", - приводятся слова Скворцова в материалах, размещенных на сайте "Роскосмоса".

"Теперь у нас будет свой канал передачи данных, то есть возможность передавать большие пакеты телеметрической информации, независимо от наших американских коллег", - добавил он.

В настоящее время для передачи больших объемов информации со станции на Землю и обратно используются в основном американские спутники-ретрансляторы TDRS на платной основе.

В ноябре 2019 года первый заместитель генерального директора компании "Гонец" Олег Химочко рассказал РИА Новости, что оборудование для обеспечения широкополосного канала связи российского сегмента МКС с Землей через спутники-ретрансляторы "Луч-5" доставлено на станцию и что штатное функционирование канала начнётся в 2020 году. По его словам, скорость в канале будет составлять до 105 мегабит в секунду.

В настоящее время орбитальная группировка спутников-ретрансляторов "Луч" насчитывает три космических аппарата - "Луч-5А", "Луч-5Б" и "Луч-5В", выведенные в космос в 2011-2014 годах. В 2024 году планируется запустить спутник "Луч-5ВМ".
