Innovative Solutions for Searching, Rescuing, and Rendering Assistance to Cosmonauts on the Forced Landing Place of the Descent Module Under Extreme Conditions of the Northern Climatic Zone

Abstract

The paper considers new approaches to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and associated technologies of emergency warning under extreme conditions of the northern climatic zones for expanding the search and rescue capabilities in case of the forced landing of the descent module (DM). The paper also analyzes the innovative solutions on the human protection against adverse environmental effects and the means for emergency medical care that are delivered to the landing place of the descent module and allow mitigating risks for surviving under unfavorable climatic conditions prior the evacuation operations begin.
