Pole's flight into space
Flight Sławosz Uznański -Wiśniewski has already been pushed away several times in time – and this is because of technical problems. Friday's start has also been postponed and at least will not take place until the middle of next week. This time the cause of the problems is the international space station (ISS), specifically pressure drop After the recent repair of one of the Russian Service Modules of Zawisda. NASA He adds that he cooperates with Roskosmos in this matter. Until this failure is repaired, the mission with the participation of a Pole will not start. – Flight will happen – reaches Grzegorz Brona, president of Creotech and former head of the Polish Space Agency.
It seems that all those problems that appeared on Earth or at an international space station are currently solved and can be solved
– says our interlocutor.
NASA and Spacex say that we should find out about the final start date 2-3 days before her. Astronauts remain in quarantine all the time and everything seems fastened to the penultimate button. Now you just have to wait for the problems on the ISS
– he adds.
When will Sławosz Uznański fly into space?
As we have already mentioned, there is now talk about the second half of next week. In theory, this is the last chance to start this week, because the starting window is officially ending On Sunday, June 22.
Currently, it is said that this window is a little shorter, while NASA admits that if necessary, it is able to extend it by a few days, by the end of June
– says Grzegorz Brona.
If the flight does not take place by the end of June, then another possibility appears at the end of July. It's not like this flight is three months. We are talking rather about days, weeks, a maximum of a month
– adds the expert, reminding the next starting period prepared at the end of the next month.
Grzegorz Brona also points out that delaying the start slightly complicates the technical side. The rocket cannot wait too long In the starting field without additional tests, which complicates the entire procedure.
But as the saying goes: 'Better Safe than Sorry', i.e. you need to take care of safety first, rather than to lead to real problems. Safety in space flights is the most important
– sums up.
Mission Axiom Space and NASA
Axiom Space is a private company dealing in space technology. The current mission has been planned together with NASA and is to be The fourth manned flight sent by this company. As before flight will have an international character. In addition to the Pole, the crew also includes the Hungarian and Indian astronaut. All three are to fly for the first time, In contrast, American Peggy Annette Whitson, who commands the mission, would already take the fourth space journey.
