Chapter 604 Scientific Research Station No. 2 (end of third shift)
Finally, after a long and high-speed flight, the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft finally came to the predetermined braking point, only to see the reverse force of the plasma engine, which provided a reaction force to the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft, making the "Chang'e 2" The spacecraft began to slow down.

The mass of the moon is much smaller than that of the earth, so the first cosmic velocity of the moon is much smaller than the first cosmic velocity of the earth. To make the spacecraft captured by the moon, the speed must reach the first cosmic velocity of the moon to be captured by the moon , into lunar orbit.

Otherwise, if the speed is too high, the aircraft will be thrown out of the moon, and will never be able to enter the range of the moon's orbit, which can be seen from the circular motion.

With the continuous reverse force provided by the plasma engine, the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft is constantly decelerating, while the earth-moon monitoring system is constantly monitoring the speed and trajectory of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, and then transmitted back to the ground command of the earth. center.

The brake is related to the success or failure of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, and it can be described as a key node.

The ground command center is keeping an eye on the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft and is in contact with the astronauts at any time.

"The spacecraft is in normal condition and is currently decelerating. It is estimated that the speed will drop to the moon's second cosmic speed of 1.5km/s in 2.38 hours and enter the lunar orbit. After 2 hours, the spacecraft will complete the orbit change and reduce the speed to the moon's first cosmic speed of 1.68. km/s, and make a circular motion around the moon!" The commander of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft made a report.

At this time, the speed of the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft reached an astonishing 14km/s, and then within 1.5 hours, the speed was reduced from 14km/s to 2.38km/s. The spacecraft will pass by the moon and cannot be captured by the moon. It has to re-adjust the direction and angle to correct the orbit and direction.

And this is undoubtedly time-consuming.

Therefore, it is not easy to manned the moon landing. Every link needs to control the spacecraft carefully. Any mistake in any link may lead to the failure of the entire manned moon landing project.

"After 3 minutes, the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft switched from the Earth-Moon migration orbit to the Moon orbit!" Liu Yang reported the speed of the spacecraft against the time.

As the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft reached the predetermined speed at the predetermined position, it was captured by the gravity of the moon and entered the lunar orbit. Although it was not doing circular motion, it belonged to the lunar orbit, and the next step was to continuously decelerate Changing tracks.

"Capital, capital, the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft is currently in lunar synchronous orbit!" Commander Liu Yang reported the situation to the ground command center on Earth.

"The lunar module will separate in 15 minutes!" The ground command center issued an order.

"Roger that!"

At the same time, in the command module of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, Liu Yang ordered the other five astronauts to enter the lunar module. As the commander, she will stay in the command module, which is a tradition left over from the 'Chang'e' spacecraft.

But this time, the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft is different. The lunar module will travel to and from space and the surface of the moon many times, and perform multiple missions. Therefore, as the commander, Liu Yang also has the opportunity to set foot on the surface of the moon again.

"Lunar module separation!" When the time comes, the lunar module will separate from the command module according to the set procedure, and then the lunar module will start to land on the surface of the moon. After experiencing the atmosphere and terrifying gravity, it is much less difficult for the lunar module to land on the surface of the moon. The real difficulty lies in whether the lunar module can land to the set landing point accurately and stably.

And this time the lunar module landed on the surface of the moon, there was no accident, and it landed steadily at the set landing point. It was only 500 meters away from the life module and moon rabbit vehicle that were launched last time, which can be described as very precise.

At this time, the ground command center burst into applause when they saw the scene of the landing point. They knew that the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft was successful when they arrived here. month time.

One month is enough time for CNSA to launch another manned spacecraft to rescue.

As the astronauts came out of the lunar module one by one, they continued to celebrate in various ways, and set off the 'moon landing style' again. At this moment, I don't know how many people couldn't help imitating it, and it also made people watch We can see the distinctive personalities of this group of post-00s astronauts.

Wang Yaping was the last astronaut to walk out of the lunar module. This was her second time on the surface of the moon, and she became the first female astronaut in the world to land on the surface of the moon twice.

At this time, as the astronauts walked out of the lunar module, the ground command center on the earth burst into applause, celebrating China's second successful sending of astronauts to the surface of the moon. This is a great feat.

Compared with the Apollo program, the "Chang'e" spacecraft and the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft carried six astronauts, and the number far exceeded the Apollo program at a time. The entire Apollo program had six manned moon landings, that is, Send 12 astronauts to the surface of the moon, and now China's two manned moon landings have tied this record.

Even if the Apollo program is true, then China's manned mission to the moon is only a matter of quantity away from the Apollo program, and it is far superior in terms of quality.

The astronauts began to test drive the moon rabbit vehicles. These moon rabbit vehicles need authorization from the ground command center, otherwise they will not start at all.

Then, people watching the live broadcast on the earth can see that the astronauts are driving the moon rabbit car on the surface of the moon. Although the speed of the moon rabbit car is not fast, far inferior to the cars on the earth, it is undoubtedly An essential tool for operations on the Moon.

An hour later, the live broadcast entered the commentary and advertisement time, and the astronauts started to activate the life capsule, build and install various equipment, which they have practiced many times in the Earth training center.

As the deputy commander of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, Wang Yaping activated the door of the life capsule.

Five hours later, Wang Yaping will conduct an online lunar class here, telling everyone about the manned lunar landing project and the situation of the moon, which will help people understand the moon more intuitively and clearly, and understand that the moon is a great treasure. It can provide a large number of resources for human beings, and it is the bridgehead for human beings to step out of the earth, the cradle of life, and enter the universe.

As an astronaut, in a sense, he is at the forefront of the times. Wang Yaping even came into contact with some confidential things, knowing that the development of the moon will be the general trend.

For example, what they will install next is the helium 3 mining equipment. The mining equipment is modular, and it only needs to be set up, and it will be automatically mined. Then the mined helium 3 will be collected and brought back to the earth before they leave the moon, including 1 The same is true for the No. [-] scientific research station.

"Students, I am now in my country's No. 2 scientific research station, giving lectures to everyone." When the time came, Wang Yaping gave the moon lecture on time.

As the first astronaut to teach in space, many students engaged in aerospace engineering or became astronauts because of Wang Yaping's special course.

"It's amazing. After only a few hours after landing on the moon, a scientific research station was successfully established. In this way, our country will have 2 lunar scientific research stations, which will take the lead in the exploration of the moon."

"Looking inside the scientific research station, there is everything you need. I even saw a lot of tomatoes and white radishes. Sure enough, we are going to the moon to open up fertile fields and plant food and vegetables for the needs of the earth. .”

"It turns out that the moon has so many resources, even the reserves of rare earths are more than that of the earth. A lunar crater is an impact from an extraterrestrial meteorite. Each lunar crater is a vein, which can be mined and refined for gold, platinum, etc. Fellow Daoists , I want to engage in crowdfunding, go to the moon to mine, there must be a lot of money!"

"I want to go to the moon to build a moon palace, so that tourists can go to the moon palace and look at the beautiful earth. That is the real heaven and earth!"

"It is said that Fairy Chang'e is the most beautiful woman in the fairy world. It is a pity that she has never found Fairy Chang'e after going to the moon and looking around every corner of the moon. Otherwise, the business must be very good if she is brought back to Earth."

"."

Compared with Huaxia's various good and bad comments, in the NASA conference room far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of people are in the conference room at this time, their faces are very heavy. No one thought that Huaxia's second manned moon landing The 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft went so smoothly without any waves at all.

Look at the Chinese people, they built a scientific research station in a few hours. With this scientific research station, Chinese astronauts can stay on the moon for a longer time.

With the scientific research station, China's exploration of the moon will be ahead of everyone!

No one even knows whether it is possible to launch missiles in the scientific research station?In that case, even the most advanced missile defense system in the whole world cannot defend against it.

"Damn it, it's really pressing every step of the way, and it doesn't give us any time to breathe!" A middle-aged man cursed in a low voice.

Huaxia succeeded in manned moon landing for the second time. Even though NASA also successfully achieved manned moon landing before, it still feels a lot of pressure.

After all, the image NASA has always established to the outside world is that it is the leader in the world's aerospace field, leading the development of the world's aerospace industry, and even rewriting the Soviet Union's aerospace contributions in the 20th century.But now, the outlined aerospace supremacy has collapsed.

But aerospace technology is real, it cannot be fake at all, it relies on hard power!As for the United States, the last aerospace accident has not been relieved so far, and the problem has not been found yet.

Although it has been claimed that NASA will hold a manned landing on Mars in 2030, but when the blond old man pats his butt and leaves, then maybe the manned landing on Mars will be delayed again and again.

At least for now, NASA doesn’t speculate much on the topic of its own manned landing on Mars. Those speculating on colonizing Mars are all private aerospace companies such as Space X and Blue Origin. They want to take this opportunity to speculate on their own company’s stock so that they can cash out and gain wealth , As for whether it is really manned to Mars, this is not very important to those super rich.
