Cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin called this distance the hardest in terms of energy consumption

MOSCOW, December 22. /tass/. Cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin considered the flight for 12 days difficult in terms of energy consumption, comparing it with a race at a distance of 800-1000 meters. He expressed this opinion during a conference in TASS, which is held in an online format together with Roscosmos and the CPC.

"If a six-month flight is a marathon distance, then a twelve-day flight is an average distance of 800-1000 meters, which you must immediately run at maximum speed. This is the hardest distance in terms of energy consumption," Misurkin said.

On Monday morning, cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa and his business assistant Yozo Hirano landed in the descent vehicle of the Soyuz MS-20 spacecraft. Due to weather conditions, the helicopters first stayed in Zhezkazgan, and specialists got to the descent vehicle by ground transport. The evacuation began on special search and evacuation vehicles, but later a helicopter took off for the crew members and took them to Zhezkazgan, then they flew to Karaganda on an An-26 plane and from there to the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow.

Misurkin, Maezawa and Hirano have been on the ISS since December 8. On the same day, the station started working on board, the memorandum on the creation of which was signed on November 17 between TASS and Roscosmos. The first TASS correspondent in orbit was the Hero of Russia cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin. He talked about life and work at the station, talked with the directors of experiments. You can read his news, as well as view photos and videos on the agency's information resources.
