Chapter 1270: The Soviets Are Coming

The Moon, the closest planet to humans!

At the beginning, mankind set off a vigorous project to explore the moon, which was a product of a specific period of the Cold War, and after that, the exploration of the moon disappeared, leaving only many mysteries. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, Soviet, will continue to develop the Moon!

At the Dhahran Cosmodrome, it was a tense moment, and outside, a huge Energia rocket was standing there!

In the launch hall, there was a crowd of people, and several foreign astronauts were blaming themselves at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that their physical tests weren't good enough at the last minute, they would have had a chance to be the first cosmonauts to land on the moon and step on the moon with Soviet cosmonauts!

It's a pity, wait for the next opportunity!

French astronaut Thomas sat in a chair and silently stared at the screen in front of him, at this time, the launch of the rocket had entered the countdown! His heart was filled with envy.

When the sound of ignition sounded, the white smoke produced by the blazing flames filled the entire big screen, and the energy rocket flew towards the sky!

Lunar spacecraft, successful launch!

Relying on strong thrust, there is no need for complex maneuvering and orbit change, and the Energy rocket can directly bring the lunar spacecraft to the lunar orbit!

When the second-stage rocket was ignited and detached, the lunar module was finally deployed in space.

Compared with the Apollo that landed on the moon in the United States, the structure of the Soviet Union's lunar module is very different.

The Apollo of the United States is just a carrier vehicle, going back and forth between the earth and the lunar orbit, and at the top of Apollo, there is also a docking lunar module, the Apollo spacecraft cannot land directly on the moon, and the lunar module needs to go up, during this period, the Apollo spacecraft is flying in lunar orbit, and then the lunar module takes off to the lunar orbit and docks with the Apollo spacecraft.

And now, the Soviet Union has mastered the key technology of the nuclear power engine, and has greatly simplified the structure of the lunar spacecraft, there is no need to do so much, this spacecraft is one, directly landing on the moon, and then it can also take off directly from the moon and fly to the earth's orbit, but it will not continue to land in the atmosphere, but stay on the Mir space station, and later, the next batch of personnel will go directly to the moon from Mir.

In this way, all the loads of the lunar module have been effectively utilized, so this lunar module with a total weight of 50 tons can accommodate 5 astronauts!

At the same time, they will also be the first permanent personnel to enter the lunar base!

Just two days before the launch of the Energia at the Dhahran base, at the Baikonur launch base, an Energia rocket, which had already taken off ahead of schedule with the initial forward base, accurately landed on the Jinghai base circled by Andrey, and now, waiting for them to pass!

These 5 astronauts are the pioneers in the early stage, and they will build a base enough for 50 people to work on the moon, and build the prototype of a long-term manned base!

At the same time, among the 5 astronauts, there is also a woman!

Svetlana Savitskaya, who became famous in the Soviet Union, was a Soviet athlete and cosmonaut, the creator of the record for racing flights and the holder of the highest flight record, as well as the world's second female cosmonaut and the world's first female spacewalker, two-time Hero of the Soviet Union.

She has been passionate about flying since she was a child, before becoming an astronaut, she was a test pilot of the Yakelev Design Bureau, the sky, can no longer satisfy her, she is very eager for government space, so from 1980, she was selected to be transferred to the Soviet cosmonauts, has been into space twice, in 1982 in the "Soyuz" TM-7 and in 1984 in the "Soyuz" TM-12.

At the same time, on the second flight, she also made the most dangerous spacewalk, setting a new record!

In later history, after these two flights, she did not go to space again, she married a year later, and did not go into politics until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

And now, Svetlana, who loves astronautics, continues to conquer space, and this time, she is about to conquer the moon with four companions!

If a woman wants to conquer space, she needs to pay more than a man, and at the same time, a woman's thoughtfulness has an advantage in many cases, for example, Svetlana's mission is to be the pilot of the lunar module!

In other words, if there is an accident during the flight of the spacecraft and it needs to be manually controlled, Svetlana needs to do it herself, operate the vehicle, and finally stay on the moon!

Of course, this is very unlikely, the electronics of the Soviets are already quite good enough for the ship to be autonomous!

After flying away from the earth, the long-lost feeling of weightlessness came again, and the commander of this flight, Onuflenko, an outstanding Soviet cosmonaut with several space experiences, looked through the porthole at the planet that was getting closer and closer.

"Moon, here we come!" In their hearts, everyone issued such a call.

It seems that there is something there, just waiting for them to arrive!

At this moment, Onufrenko is extremely looking forward to it in his heart.

Except for one novice, the other four, all veterans, were active in space for a while, and after the spacecraft flew past the Lagrange point, it began to accelerate towards the moon!

"Ready to start rocket braking." Onufrenko shouted. If you continue to fly, you will pass by the moon and fly farther into space, and you will have to slow down to be captured by the moon's gravity!

Decelerate! Under the thrust of several small engines, the attitude of the lunar spacecraft was adjusted, and the tail nozzle of the nuclear-powered engine, according to the preset command, spewed milky white hydrogen vapor.

The spacecraft began to slow down, slow down, and soon, it was captured by the gravitational pull of the moon and became a spacecraft flying around the moon!

"Svetlana, it's up to you now." Onufrenko said.

"Understood." Sitting in her place, Svetlana was engrossed. Get ready for the moon landing and be ready to drive it in the event of a system error!

The moon, after more than ten years of silence, finally welcomed a group of visitors again!

The moon landing spacecraft, which is more than 30 meters long, is more than 30 meters long, and at this time, the main engine at the bottom and the attitude adjustment engine on the side are carefully adjusted in accordance with the requirements of the landing procedure!

The moon, the Soviets are coming!
