The first ‘Gagarin’ launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome installed carrier rocket “Soyuz-FG” with the first manned spacecraft of the new series “MS Union”.
Before that, she was taken along with the docked ship from the Assembly -ispytatelnogo corps (MIC). The MIK assembly held an emergency rescue system of the third stage of the rocket and astronauts dock with the ship “MS Union” under the nose fairing. The third stage with the head part has been docked to the so-called “package” of the first and second rocket stages, RIA Novosti reported.
Run “MS Union” is scheduled for July 7 at 4:00 36 minutes Moscow time, docking ISS – 9 July at 07 hours 12 minutes Moscow time. Security at the launch site to stop attempts of guests at exporting missiles from Mika, put and flatten out “for good luck” coins under the wheels of the locomotive, pulling for a platform laid launch vehicle.
On the ISS astronaut Roskosmos Anatoly Ivanishin, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins. New crew after arriving at the ISS will conduct 39 experiments in space biology and biotechnology, physical and chemical processes and others.
Experiment “biopolymer” is aimed at creating new polymeric materials that can withstand the cryoablation. At the station, there is microbial contamination, fungi and bacteria colonies. This leads to degradation of the polymer coating
The purpose of the experiment “Biopolymer” -. The development of polymer structure to reduce the process of microbiological corrosion. Also experiment “Algometriya” will be held, which aims -. A study of human pain sensitivity in space flight conditions
The technical experiment “response” will be held in the Russian segment of the ISS. It is aimed at obtaining information about the impacts of micrometeorites.
