Four hours of Soyuz sim this morning with Anton. And we didn’t have any major engine or computer failures today, not even a fire or a depressurization.
But we certainly were not bored. The instructor threw at us many little malfunctions that we don’t see very often and are not so easy to detect. They might not kill you, but for sure they can easily turn your 6-hour trip to ISS into a two-day trip, if not dealt with properly.
After lunch, I had a theoretical lesson with Terry about fighing fires in the Russian segment: how the smoke detectors work, what kind of gas masks and fire extinguishers we have, where they are located, what are the rules of engagement. Next we’ll have a practical session in the mockups, similar to the one you can see in the picture with ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli.
Wearing gas masks.
