New Russian spaceship

• New Russian spaceship

Presented at the MAKS-2013 full-size mock manned transport spacecraft new generation (PTKK TM) is designed for a comfortable flight of four people with plenty of food and water.

Let us consider it more closely.

"It kakby class ship the luxury, designed to fly around the Moon there is another option, equipped with six cradles." Kazbek "of the previous generation: it will fly to the ISS Thus, RCM." Energy "offers the options of the ship for the long and short-term missions "- says the president of the Center for industrial design and innovation of the University of MISA Vladimir Pirozhkov.

Developed in Russia a new generation of manned transport spacecraft is equipped with a comfortable toilet, and NASA astronauts during the flight to his new ship "Orion" will be forced to use diapers.

"The important point that differentiate the new Russian spacecraft from the US - is the availability of ACS (hygienic sewage disposals) probably do not need to explain how to use the ACS comfortable than the diapers, which are provided for the astronauts." Orion ".

Toilet will hide behind a curtain in the lower right corner. While it's empty, it's layout.

In addition, now the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), a limited number of bathrooms, so equipped with an additional "space toilet" odd ship will not be exact.

The new ship will allow the astronauts to get up to his full height. This is an important difference from the test is now the company "Lockheed Martin" commissioned by NASA the new American space ship "Orion", in which the astronauts have to be in a half-bent position that very uncomfortable.

and "Orion" and the ship are in the form of a truncated cone, but the American version of lower height, so astronauts can fly it just reclining. During operation MAKS 2013 experts "Lockheed Martin" visited the new Russian development, and confirmed that "Orion" can not be straightened to his full height.

According Pirozhkov, we have now developed two main versions of the new spacecraft.

A full-scale mock-up PTKK NP is no longer a concept, and almost ready to ship its first test launch is unmanned planned for 2017 - the beginning of 2018, and piloted - closer to 2020.

new-generation ship - reusable, and is designed to hold up to ten flights as the ISS, and the orbit of the moon. Head developer - RSC "Energia", with the participation of the University "MISA". Few details:

Folding holder for leg controlled by two buttons on the sides - easy and convenient.

The attention to detail.

Fixing a toilet. Special tank during the process will be covered by a dense curtain acoustic system.

The remote control of the ship.

The Russian ship was also completely new flight seats from carbon fiber. In this direction, the designer worked closely with the Moscow region NPO "Star" - a world-famous designer and manufacturer of lodgements "Kazbek" and flight suits "Falcon" for the spacecraft "Soyuz".

"Thanks to the use of composite materials, we were able to save on every seat between 15 and 20 kilograms of weight, resulting in a board can take an additional supply of water and food," - says the cakes.

In contrast to the lodgements "Kazbek" of the previous generation, the new chair designed for a man of any complexion, and are adjustable in all directions anthropometric. seat design is such that the cradle, still made individually for each astronaut, embedded into their reusable housing, which is very convenient. On takeoff astronauts in any case will have to be in the flight suits, and after the withdrawal of their orbit can be removed.
