First Dane in space arrives at ISS 4 September 2015 The first Dane in space arrived on Friday at the to the ISS after NASA ended its space shuttle International Space Station (ISS) as part of a three- programme in 2011 and turned to private firms to man team after an unusually long voyage from fly supply missions there. Earth, the Russian space agency said. © 2015 AFP Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen, accompanied by Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov and Aidyn Aimbetov from Kazakhstan, had taken 26 custom-made figurines from Danish toymaker Lego on the ride to the station. The trio blasted off aboard a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome on Wednesday but the trip lasted two days instead of the usual fast-track six hours after the ISS raised its orbit to avoid space debris. They joined six astronauts already in space, bringing the total number of people on the ISS to nine, for the first time since 2013, according to the European Space Agency. Volkov is expected to remain in orbit until March 2016, along with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and US astronaut Scott Kelly who are already aboard the ISS. Accompanied by veteran Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, first-time flyers Aimbetov and Mogensen will return to Earth next week after 10 days on the station. Aimbetov, who replaced British singer Sarah Brightman after she pulled out of the mission in June, is the third astronaut from Kazakhstan, which hosts Russia's cosmodrome. The trio led by Padalka, who has been in orbit since June, are set to leave the orbiting space station on September 12. Upon his return to Earth, Padalka will have spent 878 days—or roughly 2.5 years—in space, setting a record for spending the longest time in space. Russia is the only country still sending its own craft 1 / 2 APA citation: First Dane in space arrives at ISS (2015, September 4) retrieved 30 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2015-09-dane-space-iss.html This document is subject to copyright.

The Collapse of the Soviet Union, Witnessed from the MIR Space Station
2020] Emory Journal of Asian Studies 1 Fall from Orbit: The Collapse of the Soviet Union, Witnessed from the MIR Space Station Ellie Coe Emory University His life resembles “a story out of Soviet science fiction, in which cosmonauts who have spent a short time in space return to Earth, where ages have gone by and everything – everything – has changed.”1 Having launched to the MIR space station from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in May 1991, cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev returned in March 1992 to a nation drastically transformed by revolution. The USSR, as it hurtled towards political reform, had collapsed during Krikalev’s ten- month stay in orbit. As a result, large-scale economic inflation permeated the new Russian Federation, oligarchs snapped up power and property, and the cosmonaut’s hometown of Leningrad had been renamed to St. Petersburg.2 Upon his landing, Krikalev was extricated from the Soyuz landing capsule by Russian military officials, the letters U.S.S.R. sewn onto his sleeve and the Communist Party membership card was clutched 1Associated Press. “After 10 Months in Space, Cosmonaut Is in a New Land,” Los Angeles Times, March 26, 1992, https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-03-26- mn-6366-story.html. 2Stephen Kotkin, Armageddon Averted: The Soviet Collapse, 1970-2000, 2nd ed.
