Британский эксперимент на МКС оказался под угрозой из-за переноса запуска Falcon 9 в США

ЛОНДОН, 5 декабря. /ТАСС/. Молекулярный эксперимент британских ученых на Международной космической станции (МКС) с круглыми червями оказался под угрозой срыва из-за задержки на мысе Канаверал в США старта космического корабля-носителя Falcon 9. Об этом сообщила во вторник британская вещательная корпорация Би-би-си.

Старт корабля, разработанного компанией SpaceX, к МКС должен был состояться во вторник, однако был отложен до 18:16 по Гринвичу (15:16 мск) в среду из-за обнаружения заплесневелых продуктов в комплекте исследовательской группы. Задержка на 24 часа с запуском тысяч червей Caenorhabditis elegans означает, по словам ученых, что они будут на сутки старше и "слишком стары" для исследований в рамках "молекулярного мышечного эксперимента", когда будут доставлены на орбиту.

Цель эксперимента - получение дополнительных данных о потере мышечной массы у людей вследствие космических полетов, "понимание причин нейромышечного спада в космосе", пояснила Либби Джексон, физик и инженер из Британского космического агентства. По ее словам, "сроки эксперимента исключительно важны для исследований с нематодами, которые с новым временем старта станут взрослыми". "Это то, что случается с космическими полетами, и необходимо всегда быть готовыми к подобным ситуациям", - добавила она.

Ученые из университетов Эксетера, Ноттингема и Ланкастера надеются, что исследования микроскопических червей длиной около 1 мм могут привести к новым методам лечения мышечной дистрофии. Космический полет, как сказал исследователь Тимоти Эстеридж, представляет собой "ускоренную модель старения человека". Он выразил надежду на то, что "понимание этого на молекулярном уровне и необходимых контрмер даст возможность понять причины процесса старения на Земле".

По мнению экспертов, результаты эксперимента помогут астронавтам лучше приспосабливаться к условиям пребывания в космическом пространстве. За полгода пребывания на орбите потери их мышечной массы могут достигать 40%.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was poised for launch Wednesday at Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad carrying more than 5,600 pounds of supplies and experiments to the International Space Station.

The 213-foot-tall (65-meter) rocket is set for liftoff at 1:16 p.m. EST (1816 GMT) with a Dragon supply ship loaded with a NASA-sponsored instrument to study Earth's forests from the space station, a tech demo payload to simulate satellite refueling in orbit, and numerous biological research experiments. The cargo also includes food, clothing and spare parts for the station and its six-person crew.

Wednesday's launch will mark SpaceX's 20th flight of the year, and the 65th launch of a Falcon 9 rocket since the first version of SpaceX's workhorse launcher debuted in June 2010. It will also be the 19th launch from Cape Canaveral or Kennedy Space Center this year.

During SpaceX's 16th Commercial Resupply Services Mission to the International Space Station for NASA, the Dragon spacecraft will deliver about 5,600 pounds of supplies, equipment and numerous science investigations to the crew aboard the station. Among the science experiments are:
    [/li]
  • Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3) is an exterior payload on the International Space Station, RRM3 will demonstrate innovative methods to store and replenish cryogenic fluids in space. These fluids have chemical and physical properties that make them useful for spaceflight, but storing them is tricky because they boil off over time. In addition to replenishing cryogenic fluid, RRM3 will store it for six months with zero boil off to demonstrate the efficient use of these important consumables. RRM3 builds on two previous robotic refueling technology demonstrations–RRM1 and RRM2. Not only could these technologies make refueling spacecraft in orbit possible, but the resulting capabilities also could be applied to exploration missions to the Moon and Mars. Read more at https://sspd.gsfc.nasa.gov/RRM3.html.
  • The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) provides high-quality laser ranging observations of the Earth's forests and topography required to advance the understanding of important carbon and water cycling processes, biodiversity, and habitat. GEDI is mounted on the Japanese Experiment Module's Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) and provides the first high-resolution observations of forest vertical structure at a global scale. These observations quantify the aboveground carbon stored in vegetation and changes that result from vegetation disturbance and recovery, the potential for forests to sequester carbon in the future, and habitat structure and its influence on habitat quality and biodiversity.
  • SEOPS' SlingShot is a small satellite deployment system delivered by Dragon that fits inside the Cygnus spacecraft's Passive Common Berthing Mechanism. The space station crew will install the SlingShot deployer and controller prior to Cygnus's unberthing and departure. SlingShot can accommodate up to 18 CubeSat satellites of any format. After Cygnus is released from the station, the spacecraft navigates to an altitude of 280 – 310 miles (an orbit higher than the space station) to deploy the satellites.

T-minus 1 hour, 53 minutes. Today's launch is timed for precisely 1:16:16 p.m. EST (1816:16 GMT), roughly the moment Earth's rotation brings pad 40 at Cape Canaveral under the International Space Station's ground track.

The precise timing is necessary to allow the Dragon capsule to rendezvous with the station Saturday. The space station's robotic arm is scheduled to grapple the approaching cargo craft around 6 a.m. EST (1100 GMT) Saturday.

ЦитироватьLaunch timeline for SpaceX's 16th resupply launch to the space station
December 5, 2018Stephen Clark

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will go from Cape Canaveral to low Earth orbit in less than 10 minutes Wednesday with a Dragon capsule heading for the International Space Station carrying more than 5,600 pounds of supplies and experiments.

Liftoff is set for 1816 GMT (1:16 p.m. EST) Wednesday from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad.

It will be the 65th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket, and SpaceX's 20th launch of the year. Working under contract to NASA, Friday's launch will be the 16th of least 26 SpaceX resupply missions to depart for the space station.

The illustrated timeline below outlines the launch sequence for the Falcon 9 flight with the Dragon spacecraft. It does not include times for the descent and landing of the first stage booster at Landing Zone 1, a former Atlas missile launch facility about 6 miles (9 kilometers) south of pad 40.
Спойлер
Three ignitions of the first stage engines after separation will steer the booster back toward Florida's Space Coast from the northeast. Here are key times for the landing maneuvers:
    [/li]
  • T+plus 2 minutes, 39 seconds: First stage boost-back burn begins
  • T+plus 6 minutes, 35 seconds: First stage entry burn begins
  • T+plus 8 minutes, 17 seconds: First stage landing
Touchdown at Landing Zone 1 should occur during a landing burn with only the first stage's center Merlin 1D engine firing.

T-0:00:00: Liftoff


After the rocket's nine Merlin engines pass an automated health check, hold-down clamps will release the Falcon 9 booster for liftoff from pad 40.

T+0:00:58: Max Q


The Falcon 9 rocket reaches Max Q, the point of maximum aerodynamic pressure.

T+0:02:23: MECO


The Falcon 9's nine Merlin 1D engines shut down.

T+0:02:26: Stage 1 Separation


The Falcon 9's first stage separates from the second stage moments after MECO.

T+0:02:33: Second Stage Ignition


The second stage Merlin 1D vacuum engine ignites for an approximately five-and-a-half-minute burn to put the Dragon spacecraft into orbit.

T+0:08:51: SECO


The second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket shuts down after reaching a elliptical target orbit at an inclination of 51.6 degrees. The second stage will later reignite for a de-orbit burn, falling back into the atmosphere for a destructive re-entry.

T+0:09:51: Dragon Separation

The Dragon spacecraft separates from the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage.
T+0:11:00: Solar Arrays Deployed


The Dragon spacecraft's two solar array wings extend one-at-a-time to a span of 54 feet (16.5 meters).
