Soyuz Rocket Launch Failure Forces Emergency Landing of Soyuz!
Soyuz Rocket Launch Failure Forces Emergency Landing for US-Russian Space Station Crew By Meghan Bartels, Space.com Senior Writer | October 11, 2018 05:11am ET https://www.space.com/42097-soyuz-ro...expedition-57- crew.html Stupid Russian reliability finally bit us in the ass. Luckily it sounds like the crew survived the ballistic reentry and landing after the upper stage failed to start. On Facebook someone said reentry G's were 6 point something. High, but survivable. This comes on the heels of the hole, causing air loss, that was discovered in the orbital module of one of the Soyuz capsules docked to ISS. We need to fly commercial crew test flights a.s.a.p. At this point it's reportedly NASA "paperwork" that's delaying the program! Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.

High, but survivable. 6g? Hell, that's not that much worse than the 'jolt' on a normal Soyuz landing.

At this point it's reportedly NASA "paperwork" that's delaying the program! Right now I think they're talking about next June for Crew Dragon and a couple months after that for Boeing. -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

The latest schedule, released by NASA Oct. 4, calls for an uncrewed test flight by SpaceX in January, followed by a crewed one in June. Boeing would perform an uncrewed test flight in March and a crewed one in August. That schedule, though, represented a delay of two months for SpaceX, and a roughly similar time frame for Boeing, since the previous schedule released in August. “You lay out a plan you believe you can achieve,” said John Mulholland, vice president and program manager for commercial programs at Boeing’s space exploration unit. He noted the company was 85 percent of the way through the overall test program, but added that still meant a chance of discovery of new issues during that final 15 percent. “If there’s discovery that we have, we’ll address it correctly, and fly as soon as we’re ready.” “You put together a plan, you expect to follow it, and you do your best to get there,” said Benji Reed, director of commercial crew mission management at SpaceX. “While we’re all pushing hard to get flying, you also want to want to provide it safely.” /quote These companies are too smart to buck the party line and bite the hand that feeds.
