The Russian cosmonaut reported to the ground control center that the new module was in order, but a bolt flew out of it.
In the Nauka module docked to the ISS, everything is in order and there is no dust, but when the hatch was opened, a bolt flew out of the module. Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky reported this to the mission control center near Moscow. This follows from the crew talks broadcast by NASA.
The Nauka module was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome on July 21 by the Proton-M launch vehicle and on July 29 it moored to the Zvezda module of the ISS Russian segment. On Friday, the crew opened the hatch to the module.
“Visually everything was in order. There was no dust. When we opened the hatch, we saw a two centimeters long bolt fly out from there,” Novitsky told the center’s specialist, answering a question about the state of the module.
Science has a sleeping place for an astronaut, a toilet, systems for the regeneration of oxygen from water and water from urine, and workplaces for conducting experiments. It is also equipped with an airlock for carrying out the scientific equipment outside the station and the European remote manipulator ERA.
Let us remind you that the Russian Science module docked with ISS Thursday, July 29th. Prior to that, he spent eight days in space. However, three hours after joining, when the crew opened the module hatch, the engines on the device spontaneously turned on. The station was forced to turn 45 degrees. The incident did not threaten the crew.
It became known why the engines on the Science module turned on
