Soyuz engines ignite accidentally – Televisa News

.

MOSCOW, Russia, June 10 2015.- Russia reported that due to a wrong command from Earth, engines ignited manned “Soyuz TMA-15M” which is coupled to the International Space Station (ISS).

“The operator must give an order to test the ‘Kurs’ module and decoupling systems, and judging by what happened, ordered the firing of the engines of the Soyuz, “said an expert from the aerospace sector.

The ship, which should come back tomorrow Earth with Russian Anton Shkaplerov, Samantha Cristoforetti Italian and American Terry Virts on board, “responded correctly to the order form”.

The Russian space agency Roscosmos said in the morning on the ignition unscheduled engine “Soyuz” without clarifying the official causes of failure.

The crew has spent about a month aboard more international platform after several failures occurred in recent months in the space program.

The three astronauts were to return on 14 May, but their mission was extended after the failed launch of the space freighter Progress M-27M, which deviated from its orbit after being launched April 28 bound for the ISS.

May was a bad month for the Russian aerospace industry, which has spent several years accumulating failures that damage the reputation of an industry that was once pride for Russians.

In addition to the space freighter, Russia lost the Centennial of Mexican telecommunications satellite by a Russian booster rocket failure “Proton-M”.
