Russia debunks rumors
400 kilometers above your head, the only human dwelling place in space is the International Space Station and the Tiangong Space Station. According to foreign media reports, in the current situation, Russia denies the claim that American astronauts were left in space. Because an earlier picture of the separation of the cabin section of the Russian space station expressed the need to leave the US astronauts in space.
Sanctions Sanctions
In fact, as early as 2021, the Russian Federal Space Agency was dissatisfied with the SANCTIONS of the United States, to leave the space station project as soon as possible, and the subsequent international space station construction mission will not participate, and according to the existing module construction, Russia is fully capable of building its own International Space Station. And this March 30 evacuation will mean that all Russian astronauts plus an American astronaut are evacuated from the space station, simply put, there may be no Russian problems on the space station in the future.
Space station two giants
We all know that the construction of the International Space Station was completed by 16 countries, and the two giants are the United States and Russia, which dominate the daily life of the space station, if you carefully observe the number of astronauts stationed on the International Space Station, you will find that the United States and Russia occupy the first and second places, and the other member countries are allocated 1-2 places.
Although it was built by 16 countries, the core module of the International Space Station was completed by Russia, which means that once the Russian module leaves the International Space Station, the space station is likely to enter the end-of-life period in advance. It is expected that in 2025, NASA plans to scrap the International Space Station and then crash into Nemo Point in the Pacific.
Core capsule Dawn
The reason for this is so, because although the number of Russian space station modules is not much, but it occupies the main position, the first part of the International Space Station, that is, the core module is Dawn, Dawn was launched in 1998, the United States paid for Russian manufacturing, dawn This name also symbolizes a new era of international space cooperation into a better beginning.
As the core part of the space station, Shuguang is mainly responsible for providing power, propulsion, navigation, communication, attitude control, temperature control, pressurized microclimate environment and other functions, in the early days, due to the height of the International Space Station is very unstable, so whenever the space station descends, it is used to pull it back to its normal position. And this core module can also dock 4 spacecraft.
Core capsule Star
As the space station gets bigger and bigger, so on the equipment of the Aurora, the Star module is also made in Russia, but it is also the money of the United States, and the Star is now the energy power module of the International Space Station, which can be said to dominate the life and death of the International Space Station, and the Star is also equipped with a life support system, which can be used by up to two astronauts.
Independent
We said earlier that whether it is Dawn or Zvezda, it is the core module of the International Space Station, and its interior has an independent propulsion system and energy system, so even if it is separated from the space station, it can still operate independently, to put it simply, as long as Russia builds several experimental modules to dock up, then a new Russian space station will be built.
Huge price
On the other hand, the United States, if you want to make the space station operate, you must build a core module that provides power, which not only requires huge costs, but also has to continuously transport fuel and living supplies to space, to know that the life of the International Space Station is not long, it is conceivable that Russia's departure from the International Space Station will cause huge losses to the United States and other member countries of the International Space Station.
This article summarizes
With the total withdrawal of Russian astronauts and the separation of the modules, the remaining space station will only have 4 astronauts, three Americans and one German, and if Russia is forced to rush, it will not be ruled out, and it will really crash the space station to Nemo Point in the Pacific Ocean. What do you think about that?
