Bean Bag Session: Landing in Kazakhstan

NASA astronauts Chris Cassidy and Tracy Caldwell Dyson sit down to talk with fellow astronaut Kjell Lindgren on the finer details of landing in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Lindgren was a crew member for Expeditions 44 and 45 aboard the International Space Station and landed in Kazakhstan on Dec. 11, 2015.

Lol true

[@awuma]

The original Soyuz was designed for up to three cosmonauts not wearing spacesuits. However, after Soyuz 11, when the backup crew replaced the prime crew and did not follow Alexei Leonov's advice concerning manual operation of a potentially faulty automatic venting valve, dying on re-entry, the crew size was reduced to two in spacesuits. Later, the interior was increased in size, and three suited persons could be squeezed in. The amazing thing is that the Soyuz launch system is the direct descendant of the R-7 used for Sputnik 1 in 1957 and Voskhod 1 (Gagarin) in 1961, while the Soyuz spacecraft was designed in the early-mid 1960's for the Soviet lunar program, both under the direction of Sergei Korolev. The smaller US equivalent to the R-7 was the Atlas 1, based on a more realistic estimate of H-bomb size and on which the Mercury astronauts flew. Its distant descendant, the Atlas 5, ironically uses a Russian engine. The big size of the R-7, incidentally, was determined by Andrei Sakharov's overestimate of what a thermonuclear warhead would weigh. Both great men would be hugely gratified to know how useful the fruit of their efforts would be to many countries collaborating peacefully fifty or sixty years later!

[@phoenixrising4573]

Gagarin flew in Vostock, not Voshkod. But yes, it is amazing that the current Soyuz launch craft is fundamentally still a R-7, though the newest ones are using digital guidance units. Korolev, I believe, knew that the bombs they would be launching would never be as big as proposed, and intentionally built a 2 stage parallel launch platform that would give him an orbital booster that would last for years to come. The US would play catch up until Saturn 1, as everything from the Juno and Thor, to the titan boosters would be ballistic missiles converted to the purpose. Saturn 1 was Von Braun's attempt to pull a Korolev and build a true orbital workhorse booster under the auspices of a heavy lift ICBM for the Army, until it was finally picked up by NASA. It's Ironic that the Russians/soviets only ever managed to man-rate 1 booster, and it's still ticking along happily today. I'm afraid they may not be much longer for the skies, and it will be a said day when the last Korolev's cross is seen in the skies. I hope Roskosmos allows a camera on the flight.

[@phoenixrising4573]

The same reason Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Shuttle, Vostok, and Shenzhou occupants do- safety. There's no reason for a crew to die due to a depressurization on re-entry for a little more comfort. It may make for a more miserable flight home.... I'd rather be uncomfortable than dead.

[@kh40yr]

Ok. Very cool. Need another bean bag session,,on that sort of tech stuff. Nice work folks. The big black bowling ball capsule of Soyuz. Amazing. Not for the claustrophobic. I can see where they want to expedite the process of landing and capture on the station once a Soyuz capsule is in motion.

[@Alan_R93]

im excited to see how scott kelly reacts to earths gravity after a year in space.

[@MultiHunterOne]

Oh yeah, he won't pull his hand up!

[@vanessawhite8042]

+Hunter Falkner The first thing Kelly did was use the phone, so at least you know he can lift a cell phone. :)

[@MultiHunterOne]

Vanessa White Oh yeah I've seen that, a satellite phone even, so that was quite heavy, 400 grammes? ;)

[@AG.Floats]

He took it like a champ!

[@ss5936]

The place where they sit is really very small and uncomfortable poor them.....

[@bee-jb7rl]

these videos make me so happy

[@anthonyderosa7730]

claustrophobic much

[@Petertronic]

I've been following rocket launches for years and never knew the Soyuz seats did that... learn something every day!

[@MultiHunterOne]

Landing on steady ground is pretty rough so they are doing anything that will soften it. Like the rockets that fire 70cm from the ground.

[@user23724]

+Hunter Falkner He knows why the seats do that after watching the video, he didn't need or ask you to explain it AGAIN to him. Please don't treat people like they haven't watched the video, or are stupid like you are some expert.

[@ugh2703]

I’ve always wanted to go to space but I can’t because i get motion sickness and I have claustrophobia

[@ishaangupta4125]

Welcome home Mr. Kelly & Mr. Kornienko :)

[@abizair1832]

The chair's position seems comfy. Looks like the astronauts are crouching on a sofa

[@trololoev]

interesting to hear his comparisons to crew dragon. does land on water as much bad as they saying (i mean sitting on water, waiting for resque)?

[@SWSimpson]

I like this video. Interesting information about no gravity to gravity.

[@mirvasanchez2781]

Welcome HOME... "EARTH" - Bienvenido!!! Muy emocionada por el regreso de Scott Kelly a la Tierra después de haber estado en la ISS por 340 d;ias. Dios te bendiga junto a Kornienko y Volkov. Dios te bendiga y gracias por ser parte de las investigaciones.

[@raywatson1247]

What does the landing feel like, love to see some video of the occupants during touch down. I have to say it cant be as bad as it looks or they wouldn't do it. 1960s technology but it seems to work fine. love it.

[@termaskeye2024]

I have a question, when the seats shift, is it possible for your suit to get stuck in between the pistons or anything else?

[@driver3025]

I still remember when I first landed on earth.

[@lehung3191]

[@sophianicole1753]

I'd like to go to space but the question is.... Is there wifi since they have so computers and phones?

[@iutegenov]

Байконыр -биздин байлык!

[@lindi9948]

can they not use the science behind a person coming back from space to earth and the whole adaptation proccess to find a cure for people who aren't able to walk I mean I know they adapt very quickly (astronauts)could it not imitate it it the slightest? I know people with their back injured might not be able to walk again but could it work or not if it was a nerveous system and instead they could get someone to not excercise their legs

[@TheRagBag]

It's like being in a Tumble dryer

[@EmmaInCandyland]

So why make the soyuz so small? Always wondered? Is there a reason to that?

[@TheBattleManiak]

Sure it is all about shape and mass cuz first you have to fly to the space throught air which is hard. Your rocket must be aerodynamic so capsule too. Sorry for bad english i hope you can understand what i mean. :)

[@markholm7050]

Two main factors seem obvious: 1. The lift capacity of the Soyuz rocket is about twice that of a Titan II, but only about 1/3 of a Saturn 1B. The weight budget is pretty tight. 2. The Russians made a deliberate design decision to keep the reentry module small and use the weight saved to attach a more capacious orbital module.

[@markholm7050]

+Mark Holm The Soyuz spacecraft is perhaps not well optimized for the ISS taxi job, but it is a well worked out, generally reliable design the Russians can crank out at relatively low cost. Sometimes, you go with what works instead of reinventing the wheel.

[@Petertronic]

+EmmaInCandyland Because every pound needs 20 pounds of rocket fuel to get it into orbit

[@markholm7050]

The reentry module needs to be strongly built to withstand reentry and landing. Keeping it small minimizes weight. The larger Soyuz orbital module, with more room for the cosmonauts, rendezvous and docking equipment, etc. can be built more lightly. Thus, size squeezed out of the descent module translates to a larger increase in size of the orbital module.

What is the point in you adding the artificial high-pass filter over their voice- as if to make it seem as though they are communicating over radio? There is no point, it is stupid, and you should stop.

[@ChristopherJones16]

wait are you talking about the whole video was done like that? i thought maybe it was just a crappy quality video.. so its a high-pass filter that makes their voices sound a bit different? It doesnt really sound like "radio" voice to me though... unless its a really good radio.
