The main mission objectives:
• Transportation of the transport manned spacecraft (TPC) «Soyuz MS-02" crew members of the ISS-49/50;
• Rendezvous of "Soyuz MS-02" with the ISS for two daily chart;
• docking of the ship "MS-02 Soyuz" to a small research module "Search" (MRM2);
• Working crew for the ISS-49/50 program;
• Undocking TPK "MS Soyuz" from MRM2 and the return of the crew of ISS-49/50 for the Earth.
FLIGHT CONTROL:
As part of the "MS-02 Soyuz", ground control segment flight services of the manned transportation spacecraft play a leading role for the Control Center near Moscow.
Management of preparation for launch, launch of the carrier rocket and the flight to the ascent to orbit is carried out from Baikonur in Kazakhstan.
MCC starts flight control after spacecraft separation from the launch vehicle.
Then, the Center's specialists are responsible for the orbital flight and return the crew to Earth.
Ground tracking stations will conduct reception and transmission around the clock and information about orbital flight of space ships and stations can be found at MCC .
Distant approach maneuver parameters are calculated by specialists maintaining ballistics navigation support for the Mission Control Center.
At the final stage, the use of electronic equipment "Kurs-NA" provides an autonomous rendezvous and docking with the space station.
The ship "MS-02 Soyuz' approaches the small research module" Search "(MRM2) Russian segment of the ISS. Docking can be performed both in automatic and manual mode.
