As the representative of the Russian Space Agency, the completion of the commission to investigate the circumstances and causes of the accident cargo spacecraft “Progress” is scheduled for May 22, 2015.
Currently, experts Commission work on the space industry. The final classification of the nature of the reasons for the emergency start-up requires in-depth computational and theoretical studies, additional modeling and some experimentation.
Now, ground experiments that should answer that could cause depressurization of the oxidizer tank and fuel tank third stage launcher “Soyuz-2.1a».
The representative of the Russian Space Agency said that the launch itself launcher and undocking cargo spacecraft “Progress M-27M” passed in a regular mode. Problems appeared in 526 seconds of flight, since the separation of the ship from the third stage of “Union.” As a result of abnormal division, the ship was higher than the planned orbit flight of 40 km. The third stage of the launch vehicle was in an orbit with an apogee of 20 km below the calculated trajectory launch.
The attempts to take control of the situation were unsuccessful. As a result, it was decided to eliminate the cargo ship. The ship was sunk in the Pacific Ocean.
