What is the X-38/Crew Return Vehicle(CRV) ? The Crew Return Vehicle(CRV) is a manned space vehicle which will stay, in dormant mode, permanently attached to the International Space Station. It will act as the Station's lifeboat and ensure the safe return of the Station crew to Earth in an emergency. The Crew Return Vehicle, which is under the programme responsibility of NASA, will offer room for up to 6 astronauts.

Subject field(s)
  • Astronautics
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

Proximity operations ... provide capabilities related to supporting safe operations with other vehicles while maintaining a habitable environment and supporting internal and external user payload operations. Vehicle is actively determining and controlling attitude nonpropulsively.

CONT

Numerous proximity operations near the ISS [International Space Station] have been and will be performed. Orbiters will continuously carry astronauts and modules required for the assembly, and the Crew Return Vehicle(CRV) is planned for emergency evacuation. The Automatic Transfer Vehicle(ATV) of the European Space Agency(ESA) will perform regular reboosting and refueling of the ISS. Other vehicles such as Progress, Soyuz and H-II Transfer Vehicle will fly for crew transport, logistics, and resupply. Relative positioning rather than absolute positioning is the major concern for these operations. Better relative accuracy will provide fewer correction burns, thus saving consumables and other operational resources.

OBS

proximity operation: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

Le rôle de véhicule de transfert et de retour d'équipage sera tenu dans un premier temps par un vaisseau Soyouz russe. Cependant, un engin spécifique est en cours de développement, basé sur le X-38 expérimental de la NASA. Ce X-38 dont le premier modèle de vol devrait être testé depuis une navette spatiale en 2001, est capable d'abriter jusqu'à six personnes, alors que le Soyouz ne peut en recevoir que trois. Spécialement adapté à une évacuation d'urgence, il peut fonctionner de façon entièrement automatique, tant en ce qui concerne le désamarrage, que la rentrée dans l'atmosphère et même l'atterrissage sur un site spécifiquement désigné.
