Chapter 372

In the radar laboratory of the base, Gu Lu met several other core members of the Chang'e-4 team.

Li Changsheng, 30 years old, is the person in charge of measurement and control technology in the Chang'e-4 team, from Modu Aerospace Electronics Co., Ltd.

Zhang Long, 28, the head of the Chang'e-4 propulsion system, was transferred from the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Zhu Yu, 32, is in charge of the command and dispatch of the Chang'e-4 model, and like Zhang Long, he comes from the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

And so on.

Including Wu Zheng, there are a total of ten core members of the Chang'e-4 project team.

Now all nine are here.

There is only one who is on the Long March series of rockets, responsible for scheduling the work there.

I have to say that the team members of Chang'e-4 are all young.

The average age is only 30 years old.

Among them, the oldest is a 40-year-old engineer.

And the youngest is a young man who is the same age as Gu Lu.

The 24-year-old young man is responsible for the overall design of the Chang'e-4 lander and plays a pivotal role.

Wu Zheng is thirty-two years old, which is considered to be on the old side of this team.

A young team has the benefits of a young team.

There is hard work, there is motivation!

In addition, they are not bound by convention, and they can often generate a lot of good new ideas.

In terms of expertise, the members of this team are certainly passable.

It's just that maybe in terms of experience, it will be a little less than that group of old scientists.

In the past, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) generally handed over such heavyweight projects to an established team.

But this time, when the China National Space Administration formulated the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration program, it decided to use a batch of fresh blood.

It's also an attempt.

So far, it seems that the results of this attempt are still very good.

............

In the radar lab, everyone sat down around an oval-shaped conference table.

Wu Zheng sat in the main seat, controlling the computer to project the picture onto a large screen in front of the conference table.

A picture appears on the screen.

This is a conceptual map of the trajectory of the Chang'e-4 probe.

Wu Zheng explained to Gu Lu, "From the official take-off of the probe to the landing on the far side of the moon, the whole process can be roughly divided into four links. ”

"Earth-Moon transfer, near-moon braking, circumlunar flight, and official landing!"

"The last part, which is the most important part. Wu Zheng accentuated his tone, "From the orbit around the moon to the lunar surface, this link is the core of the entire lunar exploration program, and it is the top priority!"

"Once this link goes wrong, the entire lunar exploration program will be wasted!"

"So, it is precisely for this reason that we chose to ask Professor Gu to come over and help. Wu Zheng turned his head and looked at Gu Lu.

"What does Chief Engineer Wu mean?" Gu Lu didn't understand too much.

"I hope that Professor Gu can help us calculate the attitude adjustment and orbit change parameters of the Chang'e-4 probe from the orbit around the moon to the landing stage!" Wu Zheng said the purpose of inviting Gu Lu here.

The so-called attitude adjustment and orbit change parameters refer to the values of each parameter when the Chang'e-4 probe enters the landing preparation orbit by changing orbit around the moon.

"Of course, if he could, Professor Gu could calculate the complete orbit of Chang'e-4 by the way, and that would be great. Wu Zheng added with a smile.

After listening to Wu Zheng's words, Gu Lu smiled helplessly.

"Professor Gu, is it difficult?" Wu Zheng asked.

Gu Lu smiled and waved his hand, "It's not very difficult, it's just that this thing is more time-consuming, I guess I'll be ready to stay with you for the night." ”

It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Lu estimated that he wouldn't be able to go back tonight.

Wu Zheng laughed and waved his hand, "We have a lot of rooms here, and all kinds of benefits are not bad, let alone staying for one day, Professor Gu, you can live for a year." ”

"Professor Gu, we are not in a hurry, the probe is expected to be launched in three or four months, and we can get the data within a week. Wu Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I know you're not in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry, there's still a lot of things waiting for me at the school!" Gu Lu smiled helplessly, "I'll try to get the data out before noon tomorrow." ”

Wu Zheng nodded, "Professor Gu, you can arrange it yourself, I have already prepared the room and equipment for you, and there are all kinds of data, I will have someone send it to you later." ”

After speaking, Wu Zheng took Gu Lu to the room where he worked.

It was a small office.

All kinds of equipment are well equipped.

Gu Lu glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, an employee of the project team walked in with a folder that was almost half a person high.

"Professor Gu, this is all kinds of data about the Chang'e-4 probe and the moon, if there is anything missing, contact me, and I will send it immediately." Wu Zheng said with a light smile.

Gu Lu asked the employee to put these documents on the desk, and then picked up the top document and flipped through it briefly.

This is a topographic map, a topographic map of the far side of the moon, which maps various terrains on the far side of the moon, including hills, basins, etc.

No, there is no data attached to it.

Because no probe has ever landed on the surface of the moon, this topographic map was drawn with great difficulty by domestic experts through various foreign documents and several photos of the far side of the moon taken by NASA through the lunar survey orbiter.

Gu Lu held this topographic map of the moon in his hand, which was the result of several months of hard work by several scientists.

The other documents on the table were about the same amount of work.

Gu Lu sighed again in his heart that the moon exploration plan was not easy, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry, Chief Engineer Wu, you can hand over this place to me, and I will hand over the data to you before noon tomorrow." ”

Chief Engineer Wu walked up to Gu Lu's side, patted Gu Lu's shoulder heavily, and said in a sincere voice, "Professor Gu, I'm sorry for you." ”

Gu Lu smiled slightly, "Everything is for the motherland and the people!"

Space is another battlefield that major countries are chasing.

Huaguo, which is currently in the first echelon of the space exploration program, cannot, of course, be left behind.

The Chang'e-4 lunar exploration program is an important part of China's space program.

Gu Lu has the opportunity to participate in it, so it is natural to work hard to shine.

In a corner of China's aerospace industry, he engraved his name.

After a brief chat with Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng left.

And Gu Lu closed the office door, poured himself a cup of coffee, sat on the office chair, turned on the computer, and started his work.
