Russian Quits Space Station

Posted: September 6, 2013 at 11:42 am

A veteran Russian cosmonaut who was assigned to command the International Space Station in 2015 has unexpectedly resigned.

Cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov tendered his resignation to the Russian federal space agency, Roscosmos, on Thursday. Russian news agencies, quoting the head of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, reported Lonchakov will be "formally discharged" on Sept. 14.

"He came and told me that he had found a better job than working in space," Sergei Krikalev, the training center's chief and the current record holder for most time in space by any human, told the Interfax news service. "Frankly, we were counting on him because he was not just in the unit, [but] he was assigned to a crew."

Lonchakov was scheduled to fly as the commander of the Russian spacecraft Soyuz TMA-16M, launching in March 2015 with Roscosmos cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, the space station's first two yearlong crew members. [Quiz: Do You Know the International Space Station?]

Once on board the orbiting laboratory, Lonchakov was set to join the Expedition 43 crew as a flight engineer before taking over command of the space station as the leader of Expedition 44 in May 2015. He was then to return to Earth in October 2015.

Lonchakov's replacement on the crew was not announced. Backing him up on the Soyuz TMA-16M crew was Alexei Ovchinin, a fellow Roscosmos cosmonaut.

Lonchakov, 48, joined the cosmonaut corps in 1997 and flew three spaceflights to the International Space Station. He first launched on NASA's space shuttle Endeavour as a member of the STS-100 crew in 2001, helping to deliver the Canadarm2 robotic arm during the 12-day mission.

The next year, he flew on board the first Soyuz TMA-class spacecraft, Soyuz TMA-1, for a 10-day flight to the space station.

Lonchakov's third and now final spaceflight began in October 2008 with the launch of Soyuz TMA-13, the 100th crewed Soyuz spacecraftto fly. Serving as an Expedition 18 flight engineer, Lonchakov spent 178 days in space, bringing his career total to 200 days (and 19 hours) off the planet.

Criminals will be forced to give DNA sample under new legislation

Criminals convicted of serious offences will be required to submit a sample of DNA which will be retained on a centralised database to aid the Garda in solving future crimes, under new legislation.

The new Criminal Justice (Forensic Evidence and DNA Database) Bill is set to be published by Minister for Justice Alan Shatter next Tuesday after it was approved at yesterdays Cabinet meeting. The move follows repeated broken promises by successive governments on the creation of a DNA database, which is in operation in a large number of countries in the EU and farther afield.

DNA evidence can currently be used to link suspects to crimes and has solved hundreds of cases. However, garda must first identify the suspect on strong grounds before they can demand a DNA sample to cross-check against the DNA collected at a crime scene. Currently, samples cannot be retained for checking in future crimes. If a database existed, a DNA sample gathered from a crime scene or, for example, a gun, could immediately be checked against those many samples stored.

Database The creation of the database follows more than 10 years of legislative reform aimed at strengthening the Gardas hand in dealing with criminals. These have included the use of hearsay evidence in some trials, the power to detain suspects for periods of up to a week without charge, and the ability to plant electronic bugs and use in court the evidence they gather.

One informed security source said while the use of DNA databases in other jurisdictions had been used to catch sex offenders who left samples at the scene of a crime, they are also useful in tackling gangland criminals: If they left a piece of clothing behind, if a balaclava is found in a getaway car they tried to burn out, then [the database] comes into its own, especially in cases where there is no idea who might have been involved. It can throw up a suspect and it might save time in ruling out another suspect.

It is likely that human rights groups will campaign against what they would see as any overly intrusive elements to the law. However, Garda sources said many cases have been frustrated because DNA samples collected at crime scenes could not be checked against a database.
