Chapter 949: Team Members
November 26, 2021 is the launch window of the manned Mars exploration program.
This date has been calculated for a long time. Of course, if the speed of the Mars probe launched by the United States in the past is followed, this launch window will have to be advanced to the beginning of June. But because the Mars spacecraft, named "Prince Barnett" by Tang, was postponed by a full five and a half months after the test of the third lunar landing operation.
Because according to the flight speed of the "Prince Barnett", it only takes 51 days and 8 hours to reach Mars from the earth, including the time of acceleration and deceleration, which is far less than the time for any Mars rover to arrive at Mars in the past, and the time for the fastest Mars rover to reach Mars in the past was seven and a half months. At this rate, if Prince Barnett departs in early June, Mars will still be far away by the time it reaches the designated airspace
It is for this reason that the launch window was postponed to 26 November.
Two months before this time arrived, the other 11 astronauts participating in the manned Mars exploration program had already gathered on Princess Belle Island for a two-month training.
According to the plan, a total of twelve astronauts participated in this manned Mars exploration program, and Tang Feng was a pure soy sauce player among them. This guy's physical fitness is amazing, and he is not needed to control the "Prince Barnett", so the training before the launch, this guy is not involved at all.
Among the twelve astronauts, except for Tang Feng, who plays soy sauce, nine of the other eleven astronauts are old acquaintances of Tang Feng.
The chief commander of the manned Mars exploration program was appointed by Tang Feng to Han Feng. Zheng, as an old acquaintance who has landed on the moon twice with Tang Feng, and a Chinese, so the hat of the chief commander of this manned Mars exploration program is worn by Han . Positive on the head.
Another Chinese is the fiery beautiful astronaut Du Yun who is fighting with the third Li Zimu.
After Tang Feng got married, he once went to Yanjing to pull the red line for the eldest Zhang Mingfeng, the third Li Zimu and Du Yun, but it turned out to be a big joke at that time.
Du Yun looked at the third Li Zimu, but Li Zimu didn't call Du Yun, so the boss Zhang Mingfeng wanted to chase Du Yun to death or life. Tang Feng, who originally wanted to be a matchmaker, realized that he was really not the material for a matchmaker, and in the end, he didn't care how to deal with this messy matter between the three of them.
However, after all, it is "men chasing women across the mountains, women chasing men across the veil", Du Yun is a smug female character, since he has a good eye for Li Zimu, he began to chase Li Zimu at the moment.
Although Li Zimu didn't call Du Yun at first, he couldn't stand a big beauty chasing after him, and it didn't take long for him to fall. It's just that the boss Zhang Mingfeng suffered, and the boss could only go back to his hometown gloomily, turning grief and anger into strength, and making the family business more and more popular.
Now Li Zimu and Du Yun have reached the point of talking about marriage, and they will hold a wedding after Du Yun returns from Mars.
In this manned Mars exploration program, Du Yun and another Canadian female astronaut, Emily M. Singh served as an electronics specialist aboard the "Prince Barnett".
Emily. Singh is an astronaut trained within Star Discovery and once conducted the third moon landing with Tang Feng.
In this team, another person who went to the moon twice with Tang Feng was an old Russian acquaintance, Alexander Brown. Borisov, who will be with the French cosmonaut Jean. Renault co-served as communications specialist aboard the Prince Barnett.
As for the American George who served as commander during the first moon landing operation. Anthony, this time, gave up the position of commander-in-chief. After all, he was a little older, and when he landed on the moon for the first time four years ago, George . Anthony served as the commander of the lunar spacecraft, which at the time had only three functional compartments. Now, four years later, at the age of forty-four, George . Anthony is now in his fifties.
If it weren't for George. Anthony's experience is too rich, and he cooperated very well with Tang Feng when he landed on the moon for the first time, so this time Tang Feng ignored the opposition of others and personally invited the old astronaut to serve as Han Feng in this manned Mars exploration program. Zheng's deputy, with his rich aerospace experience, for Han. We provide necessary support.
George. Anthony was the deputy commander on board the "Prince Barnett".
Robin, an American who served as an expert on lunar spacecraft power during the first lunar landing. Coloro, this time with another American astronaut, Bob Brown. Arnold, who co-served as the power specialist for the "Prince Barnett", was responsible for the power of the entire spacecraft.
Astronaut Jimmy from the United Kingdom. Johnson, Russian cosmonaut Michel. Pranov, Star Exploration in-house astronaut Sun Wei, a native of China, and a German astronaut Ralph. Frederick, along with the people above, formed a team of twelve people for this manned Mars exploration program.
This team is as far as the Russian Michelle. Pranov as well as the German Ralph. Frederick had never been on a space mission with Tang Feng before, but the two astronauts were also well-known figures in the industry.
Both of them have a record of spending more than a year on the International Space Station and are also astronauts with great space experience.
Now, in addition to Tang Feng, these eleven astronauts are training at the Space Center on Princess Belle Island, one is physical training, the other is the simulation control training of the "Prince Barnett", and more importantly, the training is carried out under the condition of simulating the Martian environment.
In the training camp at the Princess Belle Island Space Center, there is a set of simulated control equipment that is completely copied from the equipment in the "Prince Barnett", in which the 11 astronauts have to train for more than two hours every day, and within two months, they will be familiar with the "Prince Barnett".
In addition, in another part of the training camp, there is a system that simulates the Martian environment, which can simulate more than ninety percent of the environment near the Martian landing site, except for the difference in gravity, other air pressure, air conditions, and surface environment are no different from those near the Martian landing site.
Han. They are training here, and they can enjoy how to survive on Mars in advance.
After all, this manned Mars exploration program will allow these 12 astronauts to stay on Mars for up to a month, during which time a small forward base will be established at the landing site to lay a solid foundation for the next manned Mars exploration program. (To be continued.) )
