The engines are beneath the heath shield of the capsule. [link to www.russianspaceweb.com] The Russians use the same technique (solid rockets before impact) to para-drop heavy equipment: |

Will be updated! Ok...I get it. Explosion was not the correct word to use. But...there was a fire flash from the rockets and lots of smoke after the landing...(I watched it live)...Then the feed went to Roscosmos command center for a while so we could watch people walking around doing nothing while NASA gave some commentary. Next live shot was of the capsule standing in a field of very dry brush and not one burnt blade of grass in sight. They took their time getting the guys out. They sat the commander in a lawn chair where he looked like he was half dead. The second guy they put in a chair was waving his hands and yacking on a sat phone. We never did get to see the American Don Petit in his photo-op chair...just them pulling him from the capsule. No one with the ground crew was in a hazmat suit. They were walking around in golf shirts. Oh and the Russian military guys had on those cool Wizard of Oz hats. Anyway...The point I am trying to make is ...where there's smoke..there is NO fire? Sorry...when I grew up the American space program was a big deal full of pomp and ceremony. I guess I expected more. And...The Soyuez landing looked to me like a bad staged B movie. Just sayin... |
