On the moon, there is no air, so the lift cannot be relied on, and what can be used is the spacecraft's own engine! Whether it's slowing down or landing, you need to rely on the engine!

At this time, the lunar spacecraft is horizontal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

During takeoff, it seemed that the lunar spacecraft was mounted on the side of the Energia, which was a long payload, and when it detached from Earth, the Energizer fell and then destroyed in turn, leaving only the lunar spacecraft.

Unlike all previous spacecraft, the moon landing spacecraft has a long structure, and the engine is not in the tail, but directly underneath! It looks like a starry battleship.

In fact, when it was first designed, it was originally planned to design the engine at the bottom as usual, but the landing spacecraft more than 30 meters long, if it was vertical, it would not be easy to land on the moon!

The lunar module of the Apollo program of the United States is divided into two parts, the descent stage and the ascent stage, with a total length of only 6.79 meters, even if the four feet are extended, the diameter is 9.45 meters, and the weight is 4.1 tons, and if the fuel is included, it weighs only 14.7 tons. The descent stage is also equipped with scientific instruments to investigate the lunar surface, and when the ascent stage flies away from the lunar surface, the descent stage acts as a launcher.

Such a flying machine actually looks quite bloated, and the current Soviet lunar spacecraft is a little slender and slender, so it is not easy for this thirty-meter-long spacecraft to stand upright on the surface of the moon, and it is easy to collapse!

Therefore, the Soviet engineers, having an idea, came up with a new method, and since it was inconvenient to stand upright, they simply lay down! The aircraft lands sideways and takes off!

On Earth, this is absolutely impossible, because in this case, it will greatly increase the air resistance, and it is impossible to get out of the atmosphere, and now, on the moon, there is no atmosphere anyway, without any aerodynamic considerations!

At the same time, if it is horizontal, the altitude is greatly reduced, it is very convenient to take off and land, and it is easy to arrange various equipment, this thing no longer looks like a spaceship, but more like a starship, but without weapons.

The horizontal layout also makes it convenient to set up more hydraulic outriggers underneath, after all, this is a big guy of dozens of tons! Under the legs, there is also a plate to relieve the pressure! At this time, all the legs were stretched out, and it looked like a centipede.

There are four engines at the bottom, and the thrust is being released smoothly, and to land on the moon, the thrust of the engines must be adjustable, which in the era of liquid engines required great technology, and now, on nuclear-powered engines, it is very simple to control.

Onward, onward! At this time, the lunar spacecraft was on the surface of the moon, almost advancing and landing at the same time, flying over the equator of the moon, in the direction of the Jinghai base.

As you get closer to the surface of the moon, you can see the characteristic craters on the surface of the moon, which seem to be a little hideous, and everywhere is very desolate.

Moon, here we come!

The engine at the bottom, gently adjusting the thrust, has not been activated for manual control, and the automatic system has stopped the spacecraft firmly on the surface of the moon! Countless clouds of dust spread across both sides of the ship.

"Kurlenko, you stay here, the rest of the people, pass on the lunar overalls, and prepare to expand the base." Onufrenko said.

In space, it was enough to wear only an ordinary in-cabin spacesuit, and the Soviets already had the Mir space station, which was fully mature in this regard. At the same time, there is also an extravehicular spacesuit, which can meet the various tasks of spacewalks.

However, this is still a lot of differences in demand from the spacesuit used on the surface of the moon, for this reason, the Soviet Union specially developed the lunar spacesuit, the most important point is to facilitate walking and working on the moon, this spacesuit, is both soft and hard!

In the past, the spacesuits in space were all soft, except for the helmet, which was a hard shell. The current spacesuit uses a large number of metals such as titanium alloy for support, making the spacesuit a semi-hard shell structure, and there are movable supports in various joints.

This spacesuit, in addition to being strong, has the greater advantage of allowing greater pressure inside! Therefore, the astronauts' previous work of inhaling oxygen and nitrogen before wearing spacesuits is no longer needed! Dramatically reduces the time it takes to put it on!

In the airlock room behind the flight cabin, the four astronauts put on their spacesuits in turn, and the first exit of the Soviet cosmonauts was about to begin!

The sound of pressure relief echoed in the airlock chamber, and soon, the airlock chamber became a vacuum.

Let's go! Along the ladder below, Onufrenko was the first to climb out of the lunar module, and at this time, through the camera, the picture of his landing on the moon has been transmitted to the whole world!

Soviets, at last, also stepped on the moon! Unlike the Americans, who landed on the moon with trepidation, this time the Soviets wanted to establish a base on the surface of the moon! This time, 5 astronauts came at once!

The gravity on the moon is only one-sixth of the earth's surface, so when it comes to the moon, because the gravity is too small, people will feel light and fluttering, and many times, it is more appropriate to jump and walk than to walk directly!

After a few preliminary attempts, Onuflenko made the same choice and jumped forward!

He jumped to the side of the lunar spacecraft, and then, opening the hatch, inside, the packaging of a lunar rover, was slowly pushed out.

If you want to build a base on the moon, you must have transportation, for example, although the base components launched two days ago have been sent through an unmanned lunar rover of the same type, but the landing site is a full five kilometers here! If the astronaut walks over, he will be exhausted.

At the same time, although they have all landed here, the specific site selection of the base also needs to be cautious, the base may be established, and there will be a certain distance from here, so the existence of the lunar rover is quite necessary!

This kind of lunar rover is much larger than the lunar rover when the United States landed on the moon! After unfolding, it is made up of twenty wheels!

The gravitational force on the moon is small, which also causes the soil on the surface of the moon to be very soft, and if there are too few wheels, it may sink in!

Moreover, there is more than one such lunar rover, and this time two were delivered at once! Enough to use!

The two lunar rovers, which took about ten minutes, were finally unfolded, and the two of them began to walk on the surface of the moon with a lunar rover. So far, so good! The footage of the camera is transmitted to an audience all over the world.
