The "Progress MS-32" space freighter has entered a new stage of preparation for launch. Pneumatic vacuum tests of the space freighter will be carried out in a sealed chamber at Baikonur. This was reported by the press service of the State Corporation "Roscosmos".
These tests are aimed at checking the reliability of pneumatic-hydraulic systems, which play a key role in the transportation of gases and liquids between the ship's compartments.
The tests are carried out according to a standard scenario. The device is placed in a vacuum chamber, simulating the conditions of outer space. Helium is supplied under pressure inside the pipelines, which allows specialists to detect possible leaks. Engineers check the tightness of the ship's compartments to ensure the safe operation of "Progress MS-32" in space.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the "Progress MS-31" space freighter was weighed and refueled before launch.
