Disasters on the way to conquer the universe

In the process of conquering the universe, it is impossible to avoid disasters that cause both human and technical losses. However, these losses can in many cases be avoided if senior leaders are more alert, and if there are no political hubris.

1. Member of the first fleet, including Soviet astronauts, Valentin Bondarenko , was the first to sacrifice in space flight. He died on March 23, 1961 when training in the acoustical chamber of the Institute of Science, at 24 years old.

Disaster occurred because when he took out the medical sensor body, he had to wipe his body with an alcohol swab and throw it away. Unfortunately, cotton falls into an electric fireplace, in a negative chamber filled with oxygen, so it catches fire. The clothes burned out, could not open the soundproof chamber door for a few minutes. Due to shock and burns, Bodarenco died. After this event, it was decided not to allow the design of aerospace devices with oxygen enrichment environment. But this disaster has been hidden. If this is not a secret, it is very possible to avoid the death of 3 American astronauts who have similar situations.

2. On April 23, 1967, preparing to celebrate May 1, people rushed to launch the ' Soyuz -1 ' ship even though the two unmanned ships launched earlier had problems. When preparing ships, more than 100 defects were discovered. When informed about the number of such defects, the astronaut's blood pressure intended to drive the ship immediately increased and doctors were forced to forbid this person from flying. The replacement is V.Kamarop .

The problems started soon after the ship entered orbit: One of the solar panels could not be opened. Kamarop seeks to save the situation, including hitting the place with a solar battery in the hopes of making it pop. The ship has entered the universe but the problem occurred more to the extent of being forced to land. Because of the mass eccentricity and unbalance in the energy supply system, ' Soyuz -1' " one wing " cannot approach and assemble with another ship. When returning to Earth, the ' Soyuz -1 ' parachute system did not work, resulting in the death of astronaut V.Kamarop.

3. Astronauts Georgi Dobrovolsky, Viktor Patsayev and Vladislav Volkov died on June 30, 1971 when they landed due to the gap of the landing space of the ' Soyuz - 11 ' spacecraft . At the aerospace airport, before taking off the main crew, Alexei Leonov, Valeri Kubasov and Peter Kolodin were replaced by the crew of the crew including Đobravonxky, Voncop and Paxaev.

Disaster can be avoided without unnecessary rivalry. By that time the Americans with the 3-seater Apollo ship flew to the moon, requiring the Soviet Union to have at least 3 astronauts soar. If the crew consists of 2 people, they can wear space suits. But these three suits cannot fit into the cavity in both weight and size. So they decided to fly into space only wearing sports clothes.

The landing of ' Soyuz - 11 ' takes place normally until the height of 150 km and the time required to separate the ship into 3 parts before entering the atmosphere (according to which the living space, equipment compartment must be separated) from the landing compartment). At the time of the separation, when the ship was still in orbit, suddenly the vessel with a ventilated ventilated ventilator valve opened, and it should have been turned on and off for a long time, near ground.

The pressure in the landing compartment drops so quickly that the astronauts unconscious before being able to remove the safety belt to close the vent is only 5 cents in copper. Later, it was discovered in the bodies of the victims that there were signs of cerebral hemorrhage, blood in the lungs, eardrum damage, blood secreting sulfur.

After the sacrifices of these three astronauts, the astronauts only flew in special costumes.

4. On September 26, 1983, when the cargo ship ' Soyuz - T10 ' was launched, the boosters were burnt. Automatic rescue system does not work . Twelve seconds after the fire appeared, the commander of the launcher pressed the parachute jump button (only the parachute jump button can be pressed on the condition that two people press their button: One is responsible for the ship and 1 person about missiles). It was these two people who rescued the crew and pressed the landing button of the rescue system. The ball contains V.Titop astronauts and G.Xtrecalop pops out of the missile with 15-18 grams of overload and 4 km away from the launch pad complex. The rocket exploded 2 seconds (exactly 1.8 seconds) after splitting the sphere.

In the post-Soviet period, although the Russian space industry became gloomy, no human damage occurred. Flights into space are also less. Sometimes technical problems occur, but these problems are not blocked as before.
