Astronauts to make quickest trip ever to ISS in December

The first launch of a Soyuz spacecraft on a new two-orbit flight scheme in which it will orbit Earth two times en route to the ISS, is scheduled for December 2017, a source from the aerospace sector told TASS on Friday.

Quote
Prior to that, the new scheme will be tested on a Progress cargo craft, the source said. The Roscosmos Space Corporation said "the decision on the launch of a Soyuz manned spacecraft will be made only after the flight of a Progress under a shortened scheme has been analyzed".
Under the new scheme, the spacecraft will make two circumnavigations of the globe, which will take three hours. Currently, spacecraft get to the ISS after four orbits, the flight taking six hours.

From NASA TV Schedule
October 12 - Progress 68 Launch time is scheduled at 5:32 a.m. ET
October 12 - Docking is scheduled at 8:56 a.m. ET
It takes 3 hours 24 min :)

MEDIA ADVISORY M17-122

NASA to Televise International Space Station Cargo Ship Launch, Docking


NASA Television will provide live coverage of the launch and docking of a Russian cargo spacecraft delivering almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies to the International Space Station beginning at 5:15 a.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 12.

Launch of the unpiloted Russian Progress 68 is scheduled for 5:32 a.m. (3:32 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The spacecraft is set to dock to the Pirs Docking Compartment on the Russian segment at 8:56 a.m. Docking comes just three and a half hours, or two orbits of Earth, after launch to demonstrate an expedited capability for potential use on future Russian cargo and crew launches. NASA TV coverage of rendezvous and docking will begin at 8:15 a.m. Progress 68 will remain docked at the station for more than five months before departing in March for its deorbit into Earth’s atmosphere.

I'm surprised no one has yet to mention on NSF the Classified object attached to Progress-MS-07 that ROSCOSMOS could not disclose any information to NASA and Other ISS agencies about.

Secret payload onboard?

Typically for the Progress cargo missions, the latest spacecraft was expected to provide resupply for the ISS crew, delivering fuel, water, food and other consumables. Among the cargo reported to be carried on the Progress MS-07 mission was the long-delayed hardware for the Russian Luch-5 data-relay satellite system, which allows the over-the-horizon communications with ground control, and a small robotic device to promote a Russian social media web site.

Interestingly, available photos of the Progress MS-07 spacecraft during the pre-launch processing revealed an unusual instrument attached to the front of the vehicle at a location where normally would be no sensors or other payloads, with the exception of the Otrazhenie ("reflection") experiment which had a different external appearance. As of October 6, Roskosmos has provided no explanation for that particular piece of hardware even on request from NASA. Russian space officials said only that this is a "one-time scientific experiment."

According to Anatoly Zak, this launch will completely simulate the launch sequence for futute Soyuz-MS flights on the Soyuz-2 series rockets. In addition to the 2 orbit to docking profile, the following changes are made:

- reverting to former practice of rotating the launch table to a fixed azimuth pre-launch (the Soyuz-2 computers have roll program control capabilities, but the Launch Escape System/SAS still can't)
- fairing separation wilk occur earlier (during second stage flight), as it will be for people carrying flights
- the Progress will be ~150 kg heavier to make it closer to the Soyuz-MS in mass

Soyuz 2-1A will launch. ISS will pass directly overhead 29 seconds later. Then the ISS will leapfrog Progress MS-07 as it is deployed. Then Progress will pursue and chase the ISS for docking in two orbits.

Abort/cut off occurred after the separation of the first umbilical tower but prior to the separation of the second/final umbilical tower. This could have something to to do with the cut off. Maybe it's a case of command sent but not executed so a automatic cut off was initiated.

The abort seems to be at the exact same moment as in the last Soyuz rocket abort in March last year (http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=33126.60), which I remember to be related to engine start-up issues.  ;)

Edit: The problem last year was related to one of the pyrotechnic igniters failing to activate at T-10 seconds. At that time LOX had yet to be poured into the combustion chambers so a 24 hours turn around was done.

Yes. Saturday's launch opportunity is for a 34 orbit rendezvous (2.5 day rendezvous profile). So it is not the Rapid Rendezvous Profile which is 4 orbits/6 hours.

Yes, but only for today. They may try again next Saturday.


Nope. The 2 orbit rendezvous profile require certain orbital conditions to be present, mainly phase angle. On Saturday the phase angle is too large so they have default back to the standard rendezvous profile that takes two days.

I think that would have execute another ISS orbital correction maneuver for that. The problem with that is that they usually do one burn to set things up for multiple VV arrivals/departures. Doing one now would screw other ones just for this one experiment. So they'll either have to wait until things naturally sets things up again or wait until the next available maneuver opportunity.

This is why they do these periodic reboosts, they're not required from an orbital lifetime perspective but rather required to set things up for arrivals/departures.

I'm guessing that this will require reprogramming of the Progress's navigation computer for the new post-seperation flight profile? Will they need to roll back to do that?

34-orbit profile is always available as a backup to the fast rendezvous profile. The decision to use the fast rendezvous is made after launch when they have tracking data.

Crikey, I didn't realise it was as short as that - and that's the normal window, not the two-orbit window presumably? Which I assume is likely to be shorter still, if anything.

Abort/cut off occurred after the separation of the first umbilical tower but prior to the separation of the second/final umbilical tower. This could have something to to do with the cut off. Maybe it's a case of command sent but not executed so a automatic cut off was initiated.

I have rewatched the Tsenki webcast (see below, starting at 7:07) and the abort is called *before* the separation of the first umbilical tower (which happens a full 13 seconds later, at 7:20). Therefore the cause of the abort wouldn't be the engine start-up sequence.

Incidentally, considering the first umbilical mast is retracted at T-40s, there are two main events happening right before that (20s): transfer to internal power and autosequence start (T-1m).

Launch window is set by the need to launch when Baikonur is in the plane of the ISS orbit, so that Progress and ISS have the same RAAN.  You can adjust the RAAN a bit by flying a yaw profile if performance and the guidance program support it, but of current vehicles that fly to the ISS, only Atlas does that.  (Shuttle could do it as well.)

The ability to use the fast rendezvous is limited by the phase angle, how far the ISS is around its orbit at the moment of the Progress launch.  The launch window set by the limit on the phase angle for fast rendezvous would be about ten minutes.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused now. How does the ten minutes relate to the ten seconds you mentioned earlier?

Do you mean that the phase angle constraint (10mins) is irrelevant because the RAAN constraint is tighter?

Probably due to launching in-plane as opposed to because of phase angle.

Rough calculation: launch site and ISS have to have a phase angle of no more than 35 degrees of each other at launch. One orbit would be 360 degrees, so the phase angle constraint is about 10% of the orbital period of the ISS (360/35 = 10%). ISS orbital period is about 90 minutes, 10% of 90 minutes is about 10 minutes. Hence the reason he said you have about a 10 minute window where the ISS would be at the right phase angle to launch.

However, if the Soyuz can't do yaw steering, then you have to liftoff when the launch site rotates into the plane of the ISS orbit which would happen twice a day (well, once a day if you only go on an ascending or descending node). That's what drives the short launch window - having to lift off when you're in plane with the ISS. The Earth rotates really fast so once you're more than a few seconds off you'd launch to the correct inclination but the longitude of your ascending node will be wrong. You'd have to wait for the nodal precession to move your orbit into the same one as the ISS. Nodal precession is slow, the ISS's nodal precession period is about every 2 months (360 / 60 days = 3-ish degrees per day).

Getting the right longitude for the ascending node is more time-critical than the phase-angle requirement.

Getting the right longitude for the ascending node is more time-critical than the phase-angle requirement.

Isn't the longitude of ascending node dependent only on launch azimuth?  Same booster, same payload, same launch site, same launch azimuth, same ground trace, and same longitude of ascending node.  I don't see a time dependence here....

Yes, the longitude of the ascending node is dependent only on the launch azimuth, but the right ascension of a given longitude rotates with the Earth.  The ISS orbit is in inertial space so (disregarding precession) it has a fixed right ascension of ascending node.  Thus, you have to time the launch to match right ascensions of the respective ascending nodes.

And yes, my earlier comment meant that if you don't do yaw steering, and want to match RAANs, you only have a few seconds of launch window before fixing the RAAN error in orbit becomes prohibitively costly, whereas if you were just trying to get a phase angle within a 35° range and didn't care about the RAAN, you have about 10% of the orbital period, which gives you around 10 minutes.  If you were trying to fly a hypothetical 4-orbit rendezvous for a Cygnus on Atlas, which has yaw steering profiles to correct RAAN across a 30-minute window, the phase angle limits would only let you use about 10 of those 30 minutes.  The rest of the window, the Atlas could get you to the right RAAN, but you would need a longer rendezvous to match phases.

We're drifting a bit from the topic of this thread, but oddly enough, the threads in the Q&A section that seem like they would be relevant only touch on launch windows tangentially.  In any case, the fast rendezvous we are talking about here is presently used only on Progress and Soyuz.

Regarding yesterday's scrub, it seems that on NK forums the reason was stated as due to some electrical connector failing to disconnect just before lower mast retraction, which prevented switching to internal power.

The Russians have been doing this for nearly 40 years and their expertise manages to make a complex orbital ballet look completely routine and easy.

 Thanks you guys, some FAN-tastic screensaver material in those last few photos-epic, indeed! Not-to-be taken for granted, Progress is the Energizer Bunny of the Space-Age, Space-Station Era... 8)

About 2 hours leak checks in progress, before the cargo's hatch can be opened.
Next Progress launch: February 13, 2018...

"Cargo vehicle Progress МS-07 delivered to the ISS 2 816 kg of cargo and equipment (1396 kg of dry cargo, 950 kg of propellant, 50 kg of compressed gases, 420 kg of water) including packages for the crew, food."

I'm surprised: 2816 kg cargo

http://www.russianspaceweb.com/progress-ms-07.html#scrub

"According to sources at Roskosmos, the problem that had caused the scrub required to replace a flight control computer onboard the launch vehicle before the second launch attempt could be made. However there was no public explanation about the culprit in the incident."

The quoted transferable propellant mass is 700 kg, so 950 kg presumably includes propellant used by the Progress itself, which is not normally accounted as cargo.  This Progress had a high cargo mass, but not that high.

Are there any information about small satellites on board of Progress MS-07?
https://amsat-uk.org/tag/iskra-5/
This was the plan. Is there a conformation, that Iskra-5 is really inside Progress MS-07?
And what´s about Radioscaf RS-8 (Tanyusha SWSU №3), Radioscaf RS-9 (Tanyusha SWSU №4) and ТNS-0 №3?
Is there any information about the subsatellites ?
