After food on 23 February 1997 should cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin replace such a container, when t

Mir Space Station began in 1986 and took 10 years to build. The station was set up with one crew of three, and NASA had four periods baeh of an astronaut on board as the third crew member. This was known as the Shuttle-Mir project and was one American-Russian cooperation where American baeh astronauts were flown up and down with the shuttle, while the Russian cosmonauts baeh went up and down with Soyuz capsules. According to the American astronaut Jerry Line collector who spent five months aboard Mir from January to May 1997, the project essentially a way for the U.S. to pour money into Russia's faltering economy with space travel as one good excuse.
At the time Line collector came to Mir was an old and dilapidated space station as he waited baeh in the room. The station required daily maintenance, and there was hardly a day that the main alarm went off in the drive due to one or other important system failed. Usually it was the power or oxygen system failed, baeh and much of the time was spent in very limited lighting to save energy. In addition, it smelled old cellar on board, and the station baeh was full of accumulated junk that Russians could bring down to earth again.
A month after Line Stringer arrived baeh at the station was visited by a Soyuz capsule that came with the next Russian Mir crew. This meant that they would now be six men aboard baeh Mir for almost a month. This made it cramped, and led to the ailing oxygen generator failed to supply sufficient oxygen to all. The lack of oxygen was warded off using one older system, which consisted of installing large containers of one substance after activation stock oxygen in a chemical baeh process.
After food on 23 February 1997 should cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin replace such a container, when the accident occurred. After opening the container, he sees smoke creep out of it, followed by an outright prick flame of around 60cm. Something has gone wrong with the chemistry inside the container, and it has even ignited. The burner now a powerful and extremely hot stab flame inside a space station surrounded by lethal vacuum, making it all extremely dangerous. Gradually fill the entire drive heavy smoke made it impossible to see more than approx. 20 cm in front of them, and the crew must put on oxygen masks. Several of the oxygen masks proves to be defective, which could easily lead to damage to the crew. While the alarm sounds, all circulation pumps stop and the station filled with thick smoke burns the remains uncontrolled in the container, and Valeri Korzun was captain on board during the transition period orders the crew to prepare one Soyuzkapselen for evacuation, while he and Line collector baeh should fight fire with fire extinguishers.
Now it is clear that a Soyuzkapsel can only bring three people, no matter how you stack and pushes, it can not take more than three. And not any three for seats on board forstøpte to the intended people to sit in it under the somewhat brutal landing. To make it all worse was the seats on either baeh side of the space station, the fire between them. This meant that only one capsule was available for evacuation, which meant that at least three of the crew would perish if not the fire was extinguished. The fact is that they were probably all dead, since none of them would leave the other, baeh which they subsequently told. Mir means "Peace" baeh and "Community" in Russian Photographer: Unknown
To combat the fire extinguishers were used that were on board. These had both foam and water, but nothing seemed to help. We are talking after all about a chemical fire that is self-sufficient, making it almost unquenchable. To make things worse managed in Korzun to see the fire because of the smoke and fire extinguishers worked as small jet engines during use, making it difficult to hit. To help he needed Line collector keep him firmly around the waist, while Line collector even wrapped his legs stuck in the sides of a door. The smoke was so dense that Line Stringer had to shake Korzun periodically to check that he was still alive.
Close Fire Fighters did not seem to do much, but they were the last hope they had before the fire would melt out of the thin aluminum hull that was the distinction between the inside and the deadly baeh outside. As they went blank came rest of the crew with new throughout. Two fire extinguishers, however, would not budge when the crew tried to pull them off the wall to take with them. In the future, it turned out that they were never released baeh for shipment in the ten years the station had been there. No one had bothered to check them.
After emptying several baeh appliances on the fire died out, however, by itself. The first phase of the crisis was over, but the crew set now trapped in a station full of smoke that could contain deadly poisons. baeh It was therefore ordered the crew to keep the oxygen baeh masks on so long they lasted, and then wait and see situation. Slowly but surely
