With the competitors for the title of "Astronauts" program on Dubai TV moving to a new challenge stage, the eighth episode of Astronauts witnessed the exit of the Lebanese participant Mohammed Abbas.
At the beginning of "The Eighth Station", a report was broadcast on the details of the last episode, which saw the participants move to a new stage of challenges, after joining the Yuri Gagarin Center for Astronauts Training in Star City near the Russian capital, Moscow, and the exit of Saudi Nizar Kattan, because he had less capabilities in The field of learning the Russian language, and achieving it the lowest level in the results of arithmetic problems in challenging the centrifuge, along with his anxiety and confusion in tasks he does not have sufficient skills to implement and overcome.
The first challenges began in the eighth episode, with the Soyuz spacecraft docking with the International Space Station, as the Canadian astronaut announced that the International Space Station rotates around the earth every 92 minutes, at a speed of 8 km per second, and 28 thousand km per hour, and for this reason may fail The task, if the docking is at a low speed, but if the docking too quickly and strongly, this may cause great damage to the material level and those in the vehicle.
After completing the training session to learn how to perform the docking process, the five participants had to simulate this experiment in the presence of the jury within a period not exceeding 10 minutes, taking into consideration the focus on speed and distance. While the Lebanese Mohamed Abbas relied on the slow speed before completing the docking process well, Kuwaiti Badr Al-Mulla completed the task in five minutes, unlike the Lebanese Rana Nicola, who was busy initially providing a detailed report on the mission before driving the vehicle and carrying out the mission in six minutes, and the Emirati Muhammad achieved My people have a number that is described as good in general, while Saudi Arabia, Mashael Al-Shammari, has formed a special case in the test because of its accurate manual skills and three-dimensional vision of the virtual mission, after I completed the docking process ideally in four minutes and 23 seconds, using half the amount of fuel supposed to implement these tasks M.
After that, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and space science specialist Saud Karmastji invited the five participants to experiment with the astronauts' food, after providing a full explanation of the stages of its preparation, as Mashael tested the experience of preparing a cup of tea, and taste the special Rana soup with meat, And that is before the participants reached the test simulation of the emergency landing of the Soyuz during its entry into the ground field, and the occurrence of an unexpected malfunction that led to changing its course, landing in the forest and the parachute falling away from the vehicle, so that the five participants ’task is to extract the important tools from the vehicle’s capsule, and take the survival tools And the science organ J, and then go towards the canopy, and set up a backup tent, as well as setting fire to natural materials, without forgetting to use the radio and light signal to locate them in a simulation of the Russian space flight (Almaz) in the spring of 1965.
In this context, the participants divided into two teams, the first included Muhammad Abbas and Mashael and Badr, and the second team with the participation of Muhammad Ahli and Rana Nicola, and the first team showed the problem of lack of coordination in terms of using the compass and reaching the location of the parachute, while Muhammad Ahli and Rana accomplished the task in an ideal way Due to the previous Lebanese participant's experience in the field of camping, and the Emirati participant's experience in setting fires. With the end of the challenges of the eighth episode of "Astronauts", on Dubai TV, the jury members called on Mohamed Abbas to inform him of the end of his participation in the program because of his lack of sufficient physical capabilities compared to his high intellectual capabilities.
It is noteworthy that "Astronauts", is broadcast on Dubai TV every Sunday evening.
