Designers NPP “Zvezda” developed a suit that in case of emergency at work in outer space astronaut returns to the ship or station, RIA Novosti reported.
“Imagine: an astronaut flew away, as in the famous film, and he had to flee. Seconds count. And then press the button – and the rescue device, or Safer itself returns you », – said director general, chief designer of NPP Sergey Pozdnyakov in an interview to” Rossiyskaya Gazeta ».
The system will be integrated into the Rescue of Astronauts in the suit “Orlan” who used to work in open space. Safer concept is that all should be doing machine – in a catapult for the pilot, said Pozdnyakov.
Currently being tested prototype design of the automated system rescue astronauts. « This assessment concepts, approaches. The tests are held on a special stand ground. And at the station will have to establish certain beacons, which would manage the system by radio signal rescue », – said General Director of” Stars “. Seifer will have exactly 16 micromotors to be able to turn, stabilize and move in space.
« The main thing that was a jet stream. But “Orlan ‘is oxygen in cylinders under high pressure. Of course, the oxygen is used less efficiently, but also can », – said the chief designer.
Pozdnyakov said that the removal of the station more than 100 meters is unsafe. “Then – the complexity in terms of orientation, return, influence orbits. The idea is to understand this automatic deletion. Or include from the station to stay there an astronaut, “- he said.
