  • Human-Machine Issues in the Soviet Space Program1
    CHAPTER 4 HUMAN-MACHINE ISSUES IN THE SOVIET SPACE PROGRAM1 Slava Gerovitch n December 1968, Lieutenant General Nikolai Kamanin, the Deputy Chief Iof the Air Force’s General Staff in charge of cosmonaut selection and training, wrote an article for the Red Star, the Soviet Armed Forces newspaper, about the forthcoming launch of Apollo 8. He entitled his article “Unjustified Risk” and said all the right things that Soviet propaganda norms prescribed in this case. But he also kept a private diary. In that diary, he confessed what he could not say in an open publication.“Why do the Americans attempt a circumlunar flight before we do?” he asked. Part of his private answer was that Soviet spacecraft designers “over-automated” their spacecraft and relegated the cosmonaut to the role of a monitor, if not a mere passenger. The attempts to create a fully automatic control system for the Soyuz spacecraft, he believed, critically delayed its development. “We have fallen behind the United States for two or three years,” he wrote in the diary.“We could have been first on the Moon.”2 Kamanin’scriticism wassharedbymanyinthe cosmonautcorps who describedthe Soviet approach to thedivisionoffunctionbetween humanand machineas“thedominationofautomata.”3 Yet among the spacecraft designers, 1. I wish to thank David Mindell, whose work on human-machine issues in the U.S. space program provided an important reference point for my own study of a parallel Soviet story. Many ideas for this paper emerged out of discussions with David in the course of our collaboration on a project on the history of the Apollo Guidance Computer between 2001 and 2003, and later during our work on a joint paper for the 2004 annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology in Amsterdam.

  • Russia May Bring Forward Manned Launch After Rocket Failure 12 October 2018
    Russia may bring forward manned launch after rocket failure 12 October 2018 The next Soyuz launch had been scheduled to take a new three-person crew to the ISS on December 20 and a Progress cargo ship had been set to blast off on October 31. Leaving ISS unmanned? Veteran cosmonaut Krikalyov said that "in theory" the ISS could remain unmanned but added Russia would do "everything possible not to let this happen." Credit: CC0 Public Domain A space walk planned for mid-November has also been cancelled, he said. The crew had planned to examine a hole in a Russian spacecraft docked at the orbiting station. Russia said Friday it was likely to bring forward the flight of a new manned space mission to the Thursday's aborted launch took place in the International Space Station but postpone the presence of NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine launch of a cargo ship after a rocket failure that who was visiting Russia and Baikonur this week. forced two crew members to make an emergency landing.

    As ronaut cosmo /autDi INTRODUCTION May /985 Over the past four years, a period in US-USSR relations that the New York Times characterized as hitting an "all time low," a number of individuals who share a unique perspective of the Earth, have been meeting informally, shaping possibilities for cooperation and communication of an unprecedented nature. Having seen Earth from a vantage point that blurs political differences, several former American Astronauts and Soviet Cosmonauts have, in the spirit of the historic Apollo-Soyuz linkup in space, continued to explore terrestrial connections that could lead to exchanging their common experiences and solutions to global issues of mutual concern. Now a decade after that memorable hand-shake in space, the first Planetary Congress of Space Explorers will take place October 2-7, 1985, near Paris, to be attended not only by Soviets and Americans, but by representatives from other nations as members of a growing community of people who have orbited the Earth. The potential for this group of individuals to influence the consciousness of our time is perhaps unique in the history of explorers. The goal of this Initiative is to create a forum; the content and direction this forum might take will arise out of the special experience and perspective of the Astronauts and Cosmonauts themselves. The following report offers (1) a brief survey of events leading to the establishment of The Association of Space Explorers, (2) a summary of the planning meeting held during September, 1984, in France, and (3) text of the joint public statement. We are grateful to be able to include photographs of the meeting by Victoria Elliot, who accompanied the US Delegation.

  • Space Science and Exploration: a Historical Perspective' J.A
    SPACE SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE' J.A. Simpson It is always hazardous to ekaiuate the historical significance of an era or a development-whether political or intellectual-when the observer is still contemporary with that era. However, when placed against the background of the most .significant advances by man throughout history, the space age has a secure position. It is the evalua- tion of the character and significance of the space age, as we shall cail it, that we are here to discuss. Macauley and Livingstone have noted that "many ingredients are necessary for the making of great history . knowledge of the facts, truth to record them faithfully, imagination to restore life to dead men and issues. Thucydides had all three ingredients and their union makes him the greatest of historians." I cannot pretend to have these credentials but & a scientist whose main objectives have involved scien- tific experiments in space and who has shared in some of the space ex- ploration, I can at least present my personal views and perspective.
