Chapter 1127 Lunar Probe

Since the leaders have said so, what are you waiting for? No matter what, you must quickly develop the return capsule. Hans looked at Jack and said.

"Then let's work together! Now that China has developed a space station, we haven't even developed a return capsule! But it's really a shame! It seems that we should really work hard. Jack also looked at Hans and said.

Otherwise, the distance between our country M and China will become bigger and bigger. Although Hans also felt the great pressure, there was no way for him, he could only do everything he could to develop the return capsule.

Besides, after Zhao Zhongyao launched the space station into space, they began to let the astronauts adapt to life in the space station.

After a few trainings, Zhao Zhongyao knew that what they had to do now was to start the ultimate great plan.

It's time to set off for the moon. But if you want to complete the moon landing program, it will definitely not be an easy task. This is a very difficult task for Zhao Zhongyao.

But even if it's very difficult, it has to be done. Because this is the only way for China to become the only superpower in this parallel world.

Only after the completion of this great moon landing program can China always be ahead of the world, and there is no country that can be compared with China.

Now the space station has been launched into space. Astronauts can also live and work in space. And what Zhao Zhongyao wants to do next is to design a probe and start a close exploration of the moon.

Although the Moon is a satellite of the Earth, it is only 380,000 kilometers away from the Earth. But compared with the satellites launched by humans, this 380,000 kilometers is also a long distance.

If Zhao Zhongyao now wants to complete this great moon landing program, then he first has to design a probe. First, let the probe explore the environment of the moon. Then, the probe will land on the surface of the moon for an unmanned lunar landing.

These things are also very simple to say. But when you actually do it, it's very difficult.

First of all, it is very difficult to develop a space probe. Because this probe is going to work in outer space, the environment there is very harsh. Probes must be resistant to high temperatures and extremely low temperatures in order to do some of the work assigned to them by ground commanders in space.

Space probes, also known as deep space probes or space probes. It is an unmanned spacecraft that explores the Moon and celestial bodies and space far beyond the Moon. It is the main tool for space exploration. Space probes are loaded with scientific exploration instruments, sent into space by carrier rockets, fly close to the moon or planets for close-up observations, make artificial satellites for long-term observations, land for field investigations, or collect samples for research and analysis.

Space probes are divided into lunar probes, planetary and interplanetary probes, small celestial body probes, etc. When a space probe leaves Earth, it must gain a high enough speed to overcome or break away from Earth's gravity and fly in deep space. Probes can meet target planets by orbiting in a heliocentric elliptical orbit (double tangent orbit) that is tangent to both the Earth's orbit and the orbit of the target planet, and increasing the speed to change the flight trajectory can shorten the time it takes to reach the target planet.

In order to ensure that the target planet happens to be orbiting the target planet when it flies along a tangent orbit to the target planet's orbit, it is necessary to choose to launch the probe at the moment when the Earth and the target planet are in a specific relative position. The probe can use the planet's gravitational field to accelerate while orbiting the flying star, so as to achieve continuous orbit of multiple planets.

The salient characteristics of space probes are: they must have the capability of autonomous navigation because they cannot carry out real-time remote control on the ground for long-term flights in space; they must have the capability of autonomous navigation when they fly to planets outside the solar system and stay away from the sun, and they must use nuclear energy systems instead of solar arrays; they need to adopt special protective structures to withstand very harsh space environmental conditions; and they need some special forms of structures to land or walk on the surface of the moon or planets.

Lunar probes explore the Moon by flying by the Moon, hitting the Moon (hard landing on the Moon), soft landing on the Moon, orbiting the Moon, sampling and analyzing lunar soil, or taking samples of lunar soil back to Earth.

Zhao Zhongyao also knows a lot about the space exploration technology in the world before his death. He knew that if he wanted to send a probe to the moon, he would first have to send the probe into long-distance Earth orbit. Then, let the probe continue to accelerate under the influence of the Earth's gravity, and finally break free from the Earth's gravity, and then fly to the moon.

When flying to the moon, if you fly accurately enough, you can enter the lunar orbit and become a satellite of the moon. In this way, this probe can bury observations on the moon in its orbit.

Of course, this is only a relatively low-level lunar probe, that is, such a probe does not land on the moon, but only becomes a satellite of the moon.

Zhao Zhongyao is also very familiar with these things, and he plans to design a lunar satellite probe first, and first observe the surface of the moon. Find a suitable spot for landing.

It's not easy to just design a lunar probe. Zhao Zhongyao also spent a lot of time and effort. In the end, this lunar probe was designed.

It's something like a little satellite, with two solar panels, and a flying vehicle. On top of this spacecraft, there is a high-end space camera. It can be used to photograph the topography and landforms of the lunar surface.

After Zhao Zhongyao developed this detector, he asked Cheng Yu to come and take a look.

Cheng Yu looked at the small detector in front of him, and he was also very surprised.

"Mr. Zhao, can you fly to the moon with this thing!" Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao very puzzled and asked. "That's right, this is the thing, it can fly over the moon. Able to become a moon of the Moon. The surface of the Moon can be observed and recorded. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu again and said.

"Then when are we going to launch this probe!" Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and asked.

"It's going to take a while longer, and it's not the best time to launch this one probe. We have to wait another half a month before we can launch this lunar probe. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu again and said.

"That's really good, our country's own probe is about to be launched. When the time comes, we will be able to get a glimpse of the Moon. Cheng Yu is also very interested in astronomy. He also wanted to know what the surface of the moon was like.

However, before Zhao Zhongyao made this great 'moon landing program', mankind had never made a careful observation of the moon. Although mankind also invented the space telescope. But the moon in the telescope is just a rough appearance. Because it is also impossible for human telescopes to see directly what is happening on the surface of the moon. All you can see is some of the larger mountains and giant craters on the moon.

Zhao Zhongyao is also very happy these days. After all, he had already designed this lunar satellite probe. The next step is to launch this probe and start working in the moon's low-Earth orbit.

But it's not easy to launch a probe. When the United States and the former Soviet Union launched lunar probes, they failed many times, and many probes did not reach the moon, and then were captured by the sun's gravity and became an asteroid, orbiting the sun.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongyao is also very clear about the examples of these failed lunar probes, and he also calculated very accurately when he launched this lunar probe. It can make this lunar lunar probe successfully fly into the orbit of the moon and become an orbiting satellite of the moon.

To say that the manned space experiment carried out by Zhao Zhongyao before has already attracted the attention of the world. Then his current lunar exploration plan naturally attracts the attention of the world even more.

When Zhao Zhongyao had not yet started to launch a lunar probe, the world's major media had already spread the news.

Besides, the media of country M is the same, when they learned that China was going to send a probe to the moon, they also reported in important newspapers and on the front page of the headlines.

As soon as Jack and Hans knew about this, the two of them were like deflated balls. Originally, the two of them felt that they couldn't catch up with Zhao Zhongyao at all. The two of them had worked hard for a while to finally develop the return capsule.

But they hadn't been happy for a while! They saw that Huaguo was preparing to launch a lunar probe.

"Hans, look at the news in this newspaper. ”

Jack also heard about such a thing, and then bought a newspaper from the newsstand on the street and brought it to Hans.

Hans, of course, had heard of such a miraculous thing. Huaguo is now going to launch a probe to the moon, which is an unprecedented event.

But Hans knew that it would be very difficult for humans to launch probes to other planets, and it would not be so easy to succeed. Because the planets are very far apart. Even the Moon, which is close at hand, is 380,000 kilometers away from the Earth. Sending a probe to the moon is certainly not an easy task.

"Jack, I already know this, but what's the matter. China's current aerospace science and technology are indeed very developed. But they couldn't have launched a probe to the moon. Hans seemed to know a lot about this.

As soon as he heard Hans say this, Jack looked at Hans with some puzzlement and said, "How can you say that, how do you know that people can't easily launch a probe to the moon." ”

"Because, if you want to launch a probe to the moon, you have to calculate very accurately. The slightest mistake could undo the launch mission. Although China's current space technology is very advanced, it is impossible for them to successfully launch in one attempt. I'm sure their mission will not be successful this time. ”

Hans has always been arrogant, although he feels that his talent cannot be compared to Zhao Zhongyao. But he felt that his understanding of aerospace knowledge was no less than that of Zhao Zhongyao. He felt that Zhao Zhongyao's launch of the lunar probe this time would not be successful.

After listening to Hans's words, Jack was somewhat relieved. He looked at Hans and said, "Well, we don't have to worry about it now. Although Huaguo still wants to move forward, it is difficult for them to succeed!"

"That's right, Huaguo has now completed the launch of the space station. And our country, as long as the return capsule is successfully launched, then it can directly launch the space station. Perhaps, in two years, we will be able to catch up with Huaguo. ”

Hans felt that no matter how smart Zhao Zhongyao was, he would not be able to launch a probe to the moon soon. During the period when Zhao Zhongyao was developing the probe, Hans and Jack could vigorously study the technology of the return capsule. Before Zhao Zhongyao could launch the probe to the moon, they had to launch the return capsule into space.

"Okay, then let's work on the re-entry capsule! Now, we've designed the re-entry capsule. The next step is to launch this return capsule into space. Jack listened to Hans's words, and his heart was full of confidence.

Besides, Zhao Zhongyao and the others have now developed the first lunar probe. And, be prepared to select a launch window for launch.

For this time the launch of the lunar probe worked. Zhao Zhongyao was also a little nervous in his heart. He knew that in the world of his lifetime, no country could successfully launch a lunar probe in one go.

And Zhao Zhongyao also felt that the first launch of the lunar probe was unlikely to be successful this time. This is the first time, just to find some experience.

Therefore, before the launch of this lunar probe, he and Cheng Yu made some exchanges on this launch mission.

Cheng Yu felt that this launch mission would definitely be successful. Because, he feels that as long as the spacecraft developed by Zhao Zhongyao is very advanced. There is no record of failed launches at all. This launch mission, for Cheng Yu, it also feels like it will be successful.

Before any detector is launched, it has a number. This detector developed by Zhao Zhongyao. Originally, there was also a number. It's called the Luna-1 satellite probe. This is also 'plagiarized' by Zhao Zhongyao according to the numbers of some lunar probes during his lifetime.
