Seifer will be able to return to the ship astronaut if you delete it by more than 100 meters
In the Russian NPP “Star” is designed suit, which in case of emergency situation at work EVA astronaut returns to the ship or station, RIA Novosti reported. See also: «Holy Grail of space research.” NASA promises to find alien life
«Imagine 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 the CEO, the chief designer of NPP Sergey Pozdnyakov in an interview to” Rossiyskaya Gazeta ».
According to him, the system will save the astronauts will be integrated in the suit “Orlan” who used to work in outer space.
The concept of Seifer is that all should be doing machine – in a catapult for the pilot, said Pozdnyakov.
«Now we test a prototype design of the automated system rescue astronauts. This evaluation concept 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 salvation, “- said General Director of” Star ».
According to him, Seifer will have exactly 16 micromotors to be able to turn, stabilize and move in space.
Pozdnyakov explained that as a fuel can be used compressed air.
«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 be “, – said the chief designer.
According to Pozdnyakov, the station dangerous to remove more than 100 meters. “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.
The tests of the prototype will be completed in May. While NPP engaged in the project on its own initiative, but Pozdnyakov hopes that interested in the development of the Federal Space Agency.
