To send astronauts to the station, individual lodgments are cast, and special loads are also used to ensure the correct alignment of the ship
MOSCOW, September 16. /TASS/. The lodgements (chairs for high loads, which are made individually) of the film crew of the film " Challenge "on the next day after docking with the ISS will be moved from the Soyuz MS-19 to the ship in which the film crew will return to Earth. This was announced by cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov during an online conference in TASS.
"Literally the next day after arriving at the station, [cosmonaut] Oleg Novitsky and I will change not just the lodgements. There are also special clothing that is used in case of an emergency landing. And even the documentation will be reloaded on tablets that are on another ship, " Shkaplerov said, answering the question about how the problem of individual lodgements will be solved if the crew flies to the ISS on one ship and returns on another.
He explained that individual lodgments are cast to send astronauts to the station, and special loads are also used to ensure the correct alignment of the ship.
The launch of the Soyuz MS-19 is scheduled for October 5. The main crew includes cosmonaut Shkaplerov, actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko, the backup crew includes cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, actress Alyona Mordovina and cameraman Alexey Dudin.
Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov, as well as NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hai, arrived at the ISS on the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft on April 9. Earlier, the head of the Cosmonaut Training Center Pavel Vlasov said that two crew members of this ship will remain on the ISS longer because of the filming of the film "Challenge". According to him, the crew commander Oleg Novitsky will return to Earth in October on the Soyuz MS-18 lander together with the participants of the Soyuz MS-19 flight (an actress and a director who will be involved in the filming of the film on the ISS). Two crew members-cosmonaut Dubrov and astronaut Mark Vande Hai-will remain in orbit and return on Soyuz MS-19.
