A star named ISS (2018)

Movie №100684, 1 part, Duration: 0:39:43

Annotation:

The ISS is an ideal world, a kind of planet without borders, one common language "rusinglish" and even a common food. When everyone is together, all problems are solved. But initially the plans were completely different. Instead of the ISS, Russia had to build a second Mir station, and NASA unsuccessfully tried to build its own orbital station. The Svoboda project was closed in 1990 due to a series of serious failures, and not only the United States, but also other countries that financed the project lost huge amounts of money. Salvation came from where no one expected it in those years - from an independent, but not yet strengthened after the collapse of the USSR and the collapse of the Russian economy. Without our country, the world would not be able to create an orbital station of international importance. The basis of the ISS was the modules of the Mir-2 station, at that time almost ready to be sent into orbit.

The film tells in detail about the accident in 2007. Then there was a shutdown of the main command computers on the ISS. The temperature at the station was rapidly rising, the oxygen and water regeneration systems were turned off, the ISS engines responsible for the station orientation were not working.

This meant that the crew had to evacuate urgently, and an uncontrolled huge station would enter the dense layers of the atmosphere after a while and begin to fall apart.

Debris could fall on cities, and it was impossible to determine exactly where in advance.

However, the cosmonauts of Roscosmos, with the help of their American colleagues, were able to find the cause in three days and revived the station.

The participants of the events for the first time talk about how the crew worked in orbit and the specialists of the MCC.
