The Soyuz launch sequence explained

Показать описание

What are the parts of the Soyuz rocket? What are the stages into orbit? What is the launch sequence? Watch and find out. This video has been produced from an actual lesson delivered to the ESA astronaut class of 2009 during their ESA Basic Training in 2009-2010

This video is a joint production of the ESA Human Spaceflight & Operation Astronaut Training Division & Promotion Office

Problem: G-forces during launch make it hard for the pilot to reach up and hit the switches.

NASA: "Better go back and redesign the entire layout of the interior."
Russia: "Give the pilot a stick."

never realised how failproof this rocket really is. no wonder nobody died in this rocket in the last 40? years lol. huge respect for the engineers designing this masterpiece.

Well done and very informative! The Soyuz is a classic, workhorse. It's also aesthetically pleasing as well.

The third stage remains in orbit for a few days. The orbit gradually decays and it eventually burns up on reentering Earth's atmosphere.

Although i loved the Space Shuttle, the Soyuz is a much safer vehicle for getting humans into space, and very reliable. Very interesting to be able to see all that is involved with the launch.

What are the parts of the Soyuz rocket? What are the stages into orbit? Prepare yourself for the launch of #BlueDot with our video of the Soyuz launch sequence.

The soyuz system is truly an amazing work of engineering. Sometimes we tend to belittle the Russians for their 'robust' designs, but the more i read about the launcher and the capsule, the more i am impressed by its functional elegance. maybe nasa will in the future review their often convoluted and overly complicated systems in favour of a more practical and economical approach.

Four hours to launch for the Soyuz TMA-13M crew! This video explains the journey ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and his crewmates are about to take to get to the International Space Station.

My two favorite Rockets are the Saturn V, and the Soyuz. The V is just a no holds barred monster, while the Soyuz is civilized, and as pretty a rocket as has ever been flown.

Part 3 is actually scheduled for release first - the landing. This is planned for November when ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano is due to return to Earth from the ISS.

3.5 G is an acceleration of 34.3 ms^-2 (neglecting gravity) which is like accelerating from 0 to 124 km/h in one second. That is a good way to visualise it, I think. 17 G is like accelerating from 0 to 600 km/h in a second, which I find unimaginable.

In reply to Tristan Valenzuela Salazar (for some reason unable to reply to your post): Part 2 - about the rendezvous and docking is expected to be released in May 2014 to coincide with the launch and docking with ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst. Meanwhile - Part 3 was released last week following the return of ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano see: Soyuz undocking, reentry and landing explained

I see. For now ESA is focussing on the International Space Station & learning more about human exploration in space through the research being done there. There is a robotic mission to Mars in preparation called ExoMars .. Maybe one day there will be a human mission to our nearest neighbour, but that is a long way off.
