Sojuz MS-12 na ISS BY KRZYSZTOF KANAWKA ON 15 MARCA 2019
Start Sojuza MS-12 / Credits - NASA TVWieczorem 14 marca wystartowała rosyjska kapsuła Sojuz MS-12. Sześć godzin później Sojuz dotarł do ISS.
Start Sojuza MS-12 nastąpił 14 marca 2019 roku o godzinie 20:14 CET z kosmodromu Bajkonur w Kazachstanie. Start odbył się dzięki rakiecie Sojuz-FG. Lot rakiety Sojuz przebiegł prawidłowo i po nieco ponad 8 minutach od startu kapsuła Sojuz MS-12 znalazła się na wstępnej orbicie. Celem startu Sojuza MS-12 była Międzynarodowa Stacja Kosmiczna (ISS).
Na pokładzie Sojuza MS-12 znalazła się następująca załoga:
Aleksiej Owczynin (Roskosmos)
Tyler Hague (NASA)
Christina Koch (NASA)
Załoga Sojuza MS-12 / Credits – NASAW mniej niż sześć godzin po starcie Sojuz MS-12 dotarł do ISS. Dzięki misji tego Sojuza załoga Stacji powiększyła się do sześciu rezydentów.
Warto tu dodać, że Owczynin i Hague doświadczyli
nieudanego lotu Sojuza MS-10 w październiku 2018. Wówczas doszło do nieprawidłowej separacji rakiet pobocznych Sojuza-FG, co spowodowało przerwanie lotu. Na szczęście ten nieudany lot nie zakończył się utratą zdrowia lub życia załogi.
Sojuz MS-12 pozostanie przyłączony do ISS do początku października. Christina Koch pozostanie na dłużej na Stacji – do grudnia tego roku. Na pokładzie Sojuza MS-12 na Ziemię powróci astronauta ze Zjednoczonych Emiratów Arabskich, który poleci na ISS na krótki tygodniowy lot pod koniec września na pokładzie Sojuza MS-15.

Hague, Koch, and Ovchinin will spend six-and-a-half months living and working aboard the International Space Station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)The Soyuz MS-12 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station at 3:14 p.m. EDT (12:14 a.m. March 15 Kazakhstan time) and has safely reached orbit. At the time of launch, the station was flying about 250 miles over southern Russia, across the northeast border with Kazakhstan; more than 1,100 statute miles ahead of the Soyuz as it leaves the launch pad.
NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Christina Koch, and cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmoshave begun their six-hour trip to the orbital laboratory where they will live and work for more than six months. The new crew members will dock to the Rassvet module at 9:07 p.m.
Expedition 59 will begin officially at the time of docking.About two hours later, hatches between the Soyuz and the station will open and the new residents will be greeted by NASA astronaut Anne McClain, station commander Oleg Kononenko of Roscosmos, and David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency.

Several additional delta velocity burns are planned before the official start of the Soyuz MS-12 capsule's automated docking sequence at 2301 GMT (7:01 p.m. EDT).
The Soyuz spacecraft's Kurs rendezvous radar will be activated at 2333 GMT (7:33 p.m. EDT), and
the capsule will approach within 1 kilometer (about 3,000 feet) of the space station at 0040 GMT (8:40 p.m. EDT).Attitude control of the space station will be switched from control moment gyros in the U.S. part of the complex to Russian rocket thrusters at 0041 GMT (8:41 p.m. EDT), and the Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft's flyaround manure will begin at 0046 GMT (8:46 p.m. EDT) to line up with a
docking port on the station's Rassvet module.
Final approach to the Rassvet port will begin around 0056 GMT (8:56 p.m. EDT), with docking planned at 0107 GMT (9:07 p.m. EDT).https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/03/14/soyuz-ms-12-mission-status-center/Soyuz MS-12 docks with the Space Stationwritten by Chris Gebhardt March 14, 2019

By a strange quirk of coincidence, today (3/14) happens to be “Pi Day”, and the mission of Ovchinin, Hague and Koch set off at 3:14 p.m. EDT Thursday (12:14 a.m. local time Friday). “Liftoff on #PiDay,”
tweeted Hague in the hours before launch. “An engineer’s dream come true. Next stop, @Space_Station.” The trio are targeted to dock at the station’s Earth-facing (or “nadir”) Rassvet module at 9:07 p.m. EDT. (...)
Earlier today, both crews were awakened in Baikonur’s Cosmonaut Hotel, about 8.5 hours before launch, and proceeded via bus to Site 254 to don their space suits, whereupon they were taken out to the pad. Ovchinin was inserted into the center commander’s seat of the Soyuz MS-12 descent module, flanked by Hague in the left-side Flight Engineer-1 couch and Koch in the right-seat as Flight Engineer-2. Fifteen minutes before T-0, the Launch Abort System (LAS) was placed onto internal power and armed. At five minutes, Ovchinin’s controls were activated and internal avionics were spooled-up to monitor Soyuz-FG systems during the climb to orbit. From within the control bunker, the launch “key” was inserted to enable the rocket’s ordnance. At ten seconds, the turbopumps of the RD-108 core stage engine and the RD-107 engines of the four tapering boosters attained full speed and Soyuz MS-12 left Earth precisely on time at 3:14:08 p.m. EDT Thursday (12:14:08 a.m. local time Friday).

Speaking with CBS News by satellite from Moscow last month, Hague said he continued to have full confidence in the safety and reliability of the Soyuz.
“I’m 100 percent confident,” he said. “In the aftermath of the launch abort, watching the response from the Russians, the transparency and the way they approach that in terms of sharing their data and resolving the issues, it was impressive. The strength of the international cooperation was tested, and it’s as strong as it’s ever been.”
That doesn’t necessarily make it any easier for Hague’s wife and two children. All three were on hand at Baikonur for the launch abort.
“It’s a rarity that a family has the opportunity to watch a parent or a spouse sit on top of a rocket, launch into space and see a catastrophic launch failure and then have an opportunity to watch that all happen again five months later,” he said.
“But I am lucky, I’ve got an amazing wife, I’ve got amazing children, and I’ve been impressed by their resilience. They understand the importance of what we’re doing, and why we need to keep the mission going. The space program, we’ve had failures and successes, and we learn as we go. But the important thing is we continue moving forward.” (...)
