"Комбинированная двигательная установка "Союза" должна отработать около 200 секунд, в ходе которых корабль погасит орбитальную скорость и начнет снижаться", - рассказал он. Бытовой отсек, приборно-агрегатный модуль и спускаемая капсула с космонавтами полетят к Земле раздельно. Первые два элемента корабля сгорят в плотных слоях атмосферы, а спускаемый аппарат с экипажем продолжит снижение. |
