English term

10.2 psi operations (overnight)

English to Russian Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space extravehicular activity
During nominal ISS operations, the Joint Airlock will be in a low power mode termed “housekeeping.”

In this mode, the CCAA, lights and EVA support equipment are off, and the Airlock Multiplexer Demultiplexer (A/L MDM) and RPCMs are used only minimally.

Preparation for EVA includes activating the airlock and its systems to allow for EMU checkout, 10.2 psi operations (overnight), EVA preparation, EVA, and post-EVA operations.

astronauts sleep overnight in the airlock prior to an EVA, lowering the air pressure to 10.2 psi (70 kPa), compared to the normal station pressure of 14.7 psi (101 kPa).[22] Spending a night at the lower air pressure helps flush nitrogen from the body, thereby preventing "the bends"

Завтра экипаж STS-100 будет делать «выход», перед выходом им надо жить при пониженном давлении, поэтому пока мы с ними виделись только через иллюминатор люка.

Спасибо!
neutral Anton Konashenok : overnight в данном контексте - это не "ночью", а "с ночевкой", т.е. в течение целых суток или около того. Иначе было бы "at night" или "during the night".
