Herää kysymys ovako tällaiset sobotaashit "Obamien" vai "Osamien hommia" -ja onko tuollaisten välillä lopultakaan mitään eroa!

Reiät on tehty paikkoihin, joissa ne väsymisen vaikutuksesta ennemmin tai myöhem-min aukeavat, kuten nyt tapauhtui 30.elokuuta. Vaikka kyseessä onkin pieni porukka, temppu rinnastuu kansainväliseen joukkomurhaan - kuten yhä vaan useampi läntisten johtajien muukin temppu.

Jenkit lopettivat kaiken yhteistyön - paitsi ehkä jotkut maksut, sillä firmat käyttävät avaruusasemaa mm. Maan pinnan kuvamiseen - jo Obaman aikana. Siitä ilmoitti kui-tenkin vasta Trump, tänä vuonna. Tulloin niissä piireissä oltiin varmoja, että Hillary Clintonista tulee USA:n seuraava presidentti.

MOSCOW, September 14. /TASS/. Specialists have found new traces of drilling in Russia’s Soyuz MS-09, a spacecraft docked with the International Space Station (ISS) where an air leak was earlier reported, a rocket and space industry source told TASS on Friday.


"Traces of drilling have been found not only inside the spacecraft’s living compart-ment, but also on the screen of the anti-meteorite shield that covers the spacecraft from the outside and is installed 15 millimeters away from the pressure hull," the source said.

A drop in pressure due to an air leak was detected on the orbital outpost overnight to August 30. Later, the cause was discovered to be a two-millimeter hole of the orbital compartment of the manned Soyuz MS-09 space vehicle docked to the space station. Russian cosmonauts had plugged the hole patching it up with several layers of epoxy resin and restored pressure aboard the space station.

The space industry source told TASS that before the hole was sealed, the cosmonauts conducted photo-and video surveillance of the hole with an endoscope.

"During the analysis of those images, traces of drilling were found on the anti-meteo-rite shield," the source said,adding that "the top of the drill came through the pressure hull and hit the non-gastight outer shell."

According to another industry source, the non-gastight anti-meteorite protection is installed right before the spacecraft is taken to the final assembly workshop.

"When Soyuz MS-09 has just arrived to the final assembly workshop, it was photo-graphed in details. No hole and no signs of drilling… were found. The spacecraft was drilled later, when it was fully assembled," the source said.

He added that the anti-meteorite shield was also photographed before being installed, and no traces on it were found as well.

The source suggested that the spacecraft could be damaged either during the very last stage of works or during its 90-day stay in the checkout stand, adding that it was highly unlikely that the damage occurred during the transportation to the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan or at the launch facility.

TASS has been unable to officially confirm the information, provided by the sources, at the time of the publication.

Commission’s investigation

Russia has set up a commission consisting of specialists from Roscosmos, the Ener-gia Rocket and Space Corporation and the Central Research Institute of Machine-Building (TsNIImash, Roscosmos’s major research institute) to investigate the incident.

The commission ended its investigation last week,all files were submitted to Roscos- mos. According to state corporation’s director general, Dmitry Rogozin, Roscosmos experts will study the materials "for as long as it takes," but "within reasonable limits."

On Wednesday, Rogozin held a phone conversation with NASA chief Jim Bridens-tine. The sides confirmed the need for further close interaction between Roscosmos and NASA experts in identifying and eliminating the causes of the air leak. Rogozin and Bridenstein also agreed that NASA will assist Roscosmos in the investigation.

Roscosmos chief lambasts rumors over Soyuz as ploy to subvert ISS crew

Science & Space

September 12, 15:24 UTC+3

Russia’s Kommersant daily reported earlier that the Roscosmos probe was considering, among other likely causes of the damage to Soyuz, deliberate actions by US astronauts.


MOSCOW, September 12. /TASS/. The recent buzz about the incident with Russia’s Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, which is currently docked with the International Space Station (ISS), is directed at subverting the friendly relations among the international crew on board the orbital station, Russia’s State Space Corporation Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said.

"The recent gossip and rumors circulating about the incident at the ISS hinder the work of Roscosmos experts and are designed to subvert the friendly relations among the crew members of the space station," Rogozin commented on his Facebook account.


"All statements citing unnamed sources are inadmissible until Roscosmos special commission concludes its work," the CEO stressed.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said earlier in the day that it was inadmissible to accuse either Russian or American ISS crewmembers of the incident since "it is a unified crew with no political disagreements whatsoever."

Russia’s Kommersant daily reported on Tuesday citing its unnamed sources that the Roscosmos probe was considering, among other likely causes of the damage to Soyuz, deliberate actions by US astronauts, who in this way wished to speed up their return home.

According to the newspaper, the astronauts might have drilled the hole because one of the crew members was unwell. Urgent evacuation of all crewmembers would allow for getting full treatment, while the compartment where the hole was found would have burned down in the atmosphere. Roscosmos said it would refrain from making comments on the issue until the special probe reported its findings.

It was reported later that the Russian spacecraft had been damaged from the inside with a power drill and the manufacturer - space rocket corporation Energia - was ordered to identify the person who might have made the hole.

ISS Expedition 56 consists of six crew members and they are NASA astronauts Commander Drew Feutsel, Flight Engineer Ricky Arnold and Flight Engineer Serena Aunon-Chancellor; Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Prokopyev; European Space Agency (ESA) Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst.

Russian deputy prime minister dismisses rumors US astronauts damaged Soyuz

September 12, 14:20 UTC+3

Yuri Borisov pointed out that the International Space Station "is an integral team where there are no political disagreements and cannot be any"


IRKUTSK, September 12. /TASS/. Groundless allegations US astronauts might be responsible for causing damage to the Russian spacecraft Soyuz MS-09, attached to the ISS, are extremely dangerous and absolutely unacceptable, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said in the wake of media publications on that score.

"It is absolutely impermissible to cast a shadow either on our cosmonauts or US astronauts," he said.


"A probe is underway. As long as the investigation continues, it will be utterly wrong to pronounce any such verdicts. The final results are to be obtained first to find out the origin of the hole. It should not be ruled out that faulty workmanship is to blame," Borisov said.

"It remains a hard fact that the drop in air pressure occurred after the spacecraft has been in space for several months. The hole is very small. It is very good it was promptly identified and the necessary measures taken," Borisov said.

He pointed out that the International Space Station "is an integral team where there are no political disagreements and cannot be any."

"The investigation is still on. Labelling and witch-hunt will be short-sighted and risky, to say the least," he concluded.

Damage to Soyuz hull

The daily Kommersant on Tuesday quoted its sources as saying that the Roscosmos probe was considering, among other likely causes of the damage to Soyuz, delibe-rate actions by US astronauts, who in this way wished to speed up their return home.

A drop in air pressure on the ISS was registered on August 30. The crew identified a two-millimeter hole. It was patched up with several layers of epoxy resin. Later it turned out that the ship had been damaged from the inside with a drill and the manu-facturer - space rocket corporation Energia - was ordered to identify the person who might have made the hole. On September 11 the chief of the Roscosmos corporation, Dmitry Rogozin,told the media the corporation did not have an impartial picture of the incident. The situation turned out far more complex than it might have been anticipated, he added.

" Сделано в РКК: где продырявили «Союз»

Эксперты оценили данные космонавтов об отверстии в обшивке «Союза»

Павел Котляр 12.12.2018, 15:51

Черная затычка, обнаруженная на корпусе «Союза», указала экспертам на место, где злоумышленник или неловкий сотрудник просверлил дыру. По их мнению, следы ведут в РКК «Энергия», где собирают корабли «Союз».

Длительная операция по изучению отверстия в корабле «Союз», проведен-ная этой ночью российскими космонавтами Олегом Кононенко и Сергеем Прокопьевым, должна, наконец, прояснить ситуацию с происхождением загадочного отверстия внутри корабля, которое привело к утечке воздуха.

За беспрецедентной по сложности и трудоемкости процедуре в открытом космосе в течение почти семи часов следили не только в России, но и в мире.

История эта началась еще 30 сентября,когда в ЦУПе узнали о том, что на МКС происходит медленная утечка воздуха. В то время на МКС находились шесть космонавтов. Скорость утечки не представляла угрозу – давление на станции падало примерно на 0,8 миллиметра ртутного столба в час. С такой скоростью станция полностью лишилась бы воздуха за 18 дней, подсчитали эксперты.

Вскоре причина утечки была локализована.Изначально сообщалось,что утечка происходила через два отверстия, позднее в тот же день в NASA сообщили об одной дыре – диаметром около двух миллиметров в обшивке российского корабля «Союз МС-09».

Дырка была обнаружена космонавтом Европейского космического агентства Александром Герстом в бытовом отсеке рядом со входным люком. Вскоре после инцидента в интернет попали снимки отверстия, которые космонавты отправили на Землю сразу же после обнаружения.

На снимке, сделанном до ремонта, видно круглое отверстие с характерными следами, оставленными рядом на поверхности сверлящим инструментом – вероятно, дрелью.

Обнаружение просверленного отверстия стало темой номер один в освещении деятельности «Роскосмоса» до середины октября. СМИ выдвигали различные версии, а сам глава госкорпорации Дмитрий Рогозин не исключил, что сверлить обшивку могли не на Земле, а в космосе, кто-то из членов экипажа.

Созданная «Роскосмосом» комиссия, расследующая появление дыры в обшив-ке «Союза» исключила производственный брак как причину происшествия. Другими словами,

«Роскосмос» исключал появление дыры на этапах сборки «Союза» в РКК «Энергия» в подмосковном Королеве.

Кроме того, пролить свет на проблему мог пылевой фильтр, 4 октября вернув-шийся с Международной космической станции, а также пробы пыли, взятые в бытовом отсеке корабля «Союз МС-09». Специалисты надеялись найти среди пыли алюминиевую стружку. По их мнению, это свидетельствовало бы о том, что дыра в корабле была проделана в условиях орбитального полета. Однако до сих пор не известно, была ли найдена эта пыль.

Но главные надежды в Роскосмосе возлагали на выход в открытый космос, в ходе которого космонавты могли бы увидеть, как выглядит отверстие снаружи корабля. Характер отверстия мог подсказать не на то, кто просверлил отверстие, а где – в космосе, или на Земле. Логика тут проста,

и своими рассуждениями в «Роскосмосе» поделились с журналистами в РКК «Энергия» еще 18 сентября, куда их пригласили после потока версий, объясняющих возникшую дыру.

Дело в том, что корпус корабля снаружи покрыт металлическими листами мик-рометеорной защиты (ММЗ), над которой находятся слои ЭВТИ — экранно-вакуумной теплоизоляции.Листы ММЗ отстоят от корпуса корабля на 16 милли -метров, их крепят на корабль «Союз» на РКК «Энергия» после сборки, после чего доступа к внешней поверхности корабля, закрытой ММЗ, уже никто не имеет, в том числе – на Байконуре.

Поэтому, вырезав кусок защиты при помощи специальных ножниц, космонавты хотели выяснить, остались ли на внешней стороне отверстия заусенцы, и, глав-ное, — следы клея, которым изначально заклеили дыру. Как предполагали в комиссии «Роскосмоса»,

наличие остатков клея может указывать на «земное» происхождение отверстия.

Однако вскрытие ММЗ и ЭВТИ позволило обнаружить, что внешняя часть от-верстия была заделана некой черной субстанцией. «Всю эту черноту сковыр-нул, теперь более светлая масса», — доложил Олег Кононенко ЦУПу. — Снаружи все сковырнул, остался круг, просто затычка».

Что это за черная масса с бахромой, которую космонавты сравнили с пауком, покажет исследование на Земле, куда собранные образцы «затычки» и приле-гающей области ММЗ будут отправлены с кораблем «Союз-МС-09» уже 20 декабря. Однако обнаружение этой «затычки» под ММЗ,

указывает, что дыру сделали в процессе сборки корабля на Земле.

С тем, что следы теперь ведут в РКК «Энергия», согласен Виктор Миненко, профессор МГТУ им. Баумана, бывший сотрудник РКК «Энергия», ранее занимавшийся проектированием транспортных пилотируемых и беспилотных кораблей «Союз» и «Прогресс».

«Конечно, это было сделано здесь (в РКК «Энергия»), откуда весь объект до-ставляется уже собранный на космодром. Ведь корпус корабля, ММЗ и ЭВТИ делают, устанавливают разные бригады, разные люди. Значит, надо искать кого-то в цехе», — сказал Миненко «Газете.Ru».

Специалист считает, что анализ используемого для затыкания дыры материа-ла может указать на виновника. «И мастику эту можно найти, и того, кто ее по-ставил, у кого она есть в пользовании, есть ли в цехах вообще такая мастика, — считает Миненко.

– Потому что не может сотрудник просто взять и из кармана какую-то мастику достать».

Впрочем, есть версия, что черная субстанция, обнаруженная космонавтами – герметик или эпоксидный клей, который использовали 30 августа при заделы-вании дыры изнутри. Однако форма ее в виде «паука», как назвали ее сами космонавты, скорее указывает на то, что ее замазали именно снаружи.

К аналогичным выводам приходит и Вадим Лукашевич, независимый эксперт в области авиации и космонавтики, основатель портала buran.ru. «Эта затычка была в виде грибка, заклепки, это значит, что она однозначно была сделана снаружи, а значит на Земле. И естественно, ее сделали там, где после этого ее закрывали противометеоритным экраном и ЭВТИ, — пояснил Лукашевич.

– Кстати, уже в контрольно-испытательной станции (КИС) в РКК «Энергия» бытовой отсек кораблей «Союз» стоит полностью покрытый ММЗ и ЭВТИ. То есть это было сделано в РКК «Энергия» еще до контрольно-испытательной станции в РКК «Энергия», где-то на сборке».

После завершения операции глава «Роскосмоса» Дмитрий Рогозин заявил, что собранные образцы будут переданы следственным органам. «Образцы будут возвращены на Землю 20 декабря. После этого будут переданы компетентным органам для проведения исследования», — сказал он.

В РКК «Энергия» пока никак не прокомментировали находки космонавтов. Там лишь успокоили, что найденное отверстие не будет угрожать безопасности экипажа корабля при его возвращении на Землю 20 декабря.

«Отверстие находится в бытовом отсеке, который отделяется от спускаемого аппарата в скором времени после расстыковки с МКС, а затем сгорает в атмо-сфере Земли. Сергей Прокопьев, Александр Герст и Серина Ауньен-Чэнсел-лор будут все это время находиться в спускаемом аппарате», — отметили в корпорации. "

Cosmonaut insists Soyuz module hole was drilled from inside

This situation is serious as it stands, as Russian cosmonaut is convinced that the hole in the Soyuz craft was drilled from the inside.

Published on

ISS-complete.jpg

On August 30, 2018, there was a widely reported incident on board the International Space Station (the ISS). A slight loss of cabin pressure on board the station was found to be caused by a 2mm wide hole that was in the hull of the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft which was docked with the ISS at the time. After a failed launch attempt later in the fall, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev finally succeeded in reaching the ISS to conduct an intensive inspection of the hole. His conclusion is that it was not the result of a micrometeoroid impact, but that it was drilled from inside the crew module.

This statement was woefully misrepresented by several news media outlets, which adjusted their headlines and ledes to suggest that someone on board the ISS drilled the hole while the station was in flight. The sensationalist cries of “sabotage!!” can be laid aside, however, as there is no conclusive evidence that any-thing like this happened. The British tabloids like The Daily Mail and The Sun mis-handled the article with headlines like The Sun’s “Was it sabotage? Russian Cosmo-naut insists mysterious hole in the ISS WAS drilled from inside the space station.”

Surprisingly even the reputable magazine Popular Mechanics initially got aspects of the report wrong, saying that they had incorrectly stated that the Soyuz module had been landed on Earth for examination.

Cosmonauts-ISS-hole.jpg

Cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Oleg Kononenko, who investigated the hole in the Soyuz MS-09 docking module.

So what is the true story?

The true story is this:

Cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev was one of two members of the ISS crew who went on a spacewalk a few weeks ago to investigate the hole from the outside. Over the course of several hours,Prokopyev and his colleague Oleg Kononenko cut into the outer shell of the Soyuz spacecraft where the hole was found, collected samples, and took photos of the entry — or exit — hole on the outside of the craft.


According to Prokopyev, whatever made the hole started on the inside of the spacecraft. Because there’s only the one hole, that rules out a micrometeorite or some natural cause. Instead, the only possible explanation seems to be that someone drilled the hole, either accidentally or on purpose.


This is a particular concern for Roscosmos because the hole was found on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft docked to the station. If this whole thing is the result of deliberate sabotage, it could damage the international image of Roscosmos and the Russian space program.

The hole was apparently drilled from inside the module. But where the module was when this happened is not known, and of course, when it happened is also not known.

The rate of leakage of air was slow – it would have taken 18 days for all the air to have been evacuated from the station, which is quite large.

However, the crux of the story is that there should not be any holes in spacefaring equipment, and so both the origin and reason for its existence are under scrutiny.

Due to the difficult political relationship between the US and Russia, a speculative suggestion offered early on by Roscosmos’ head Dmitry Rogozin that someone created the hole deliberately, perhaps even a crew member on board the space station, caused a furor that was absent of logic, like most American “Russia did it!” allegations have been over the last two years.

Hole-in-ISS.jpg

The hole that was found in the Soyuz MS-09 module while docked to the International Space Station (ISS)

First, as a way to kill astronauts, an 18-day long leak takes at least six or seven days before the crew would be physically even affected by atmosphere loss, let alone impaired, but this is a virtually impossible situation to sneak on a crew when all life support systems on a spacefaring craft are meticulously monitored. So, such an act of sabotage is just stupid.

Secondly, according to Popular Science’s report on this incident, it is extremely hard to drill holes in microgravity,as the torque of the drill and the absence of weight would require an astronaut to be in some sort of restraints or for the drill to have a mecha-nism to absorb the torque without spinning the astronaut. This claim may be deba-table as to how easy it really is to do this, but it is not like drilling a hole on Earth, and further, the astronauts on the ISS run a pretty tight work schedule, and an astronaut sneaking a drill around is likely to be noticed.

The most likely answer is that someone on the ground inadvertently or maybe delibe-rately, drilled the hole – though the way the hole actually appears suggests that although it is man-made, it does not appear to be intentionally made. That means that someone made a mistake, but then the question becomes: how did this pass inspection prior to launch? A hole in the ascent phase of a spaceflight probably would not cause a problem, as the spacecraft moves at its highest speeds well out of the atmosphere.

But re-entry is another matter, and Russia has already borne the loss of astronauts in this way. Space.com tells the story:

The Soviet space program also suffered the first, and so-far only, deaths in space in 1971, when cosmonauts Georgi Dobrovolski, Viktor Patsayev, Vladislav Volkov died while returning to Earth from the Salyut 1 space station. Their Soyuz 11 craft performed a textbook-perfect landing in 1971. So recovery teams were appalled to find the three-man crew sitting dead in their couches, with dark-blue splotches on their faces and blood dripping from their ears and noses.


An investigation showed that a breathing ventilation valve had ruptured, asphyxia-ting the cosmonauts. The resulting drop in pressure also exposed the crew to the vacuum of space — the only human beings to ever experience such a fate. They died within seconds of the rupture, which occurred at 168 kilometers (104 miles), making them the only human beings to die in space. Since the capsule ran an automatic re-entry program, the craft could land without living pilots.

This memory doubtless lives with the Russian program and indeed, all spacefarers are beyond politics, so this is important to everyone.

The Russian government is very concerned about getting this problem resolved, and as the Russian spacecraft are the only game in town for anyone who wants to go to the ISS, it is a serious international concern. "
