Chapter 468: Journey to Mars (2)
At this time, the Sunrise has been approaching the Mars synchronous orbit in a rapid deceleration.
[Captain, the ship has been braked and decelerated to the specified speed.] Masashi Kishimoto reported.
[Preparing for the launch of the Mars synchronous orbit.] Fang Tianbo commanded.
[Report, we have access to the Mars satellite communications system.] Yuri reported.
That's right, Mars has the satellite communication system of the Human Innovation Alliance, these satellites were all launched by the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Galactic Federation before, a total of 11 large communication satellites, and the orbit is also in the Martian synchronous orbit area.
The geosynchronous orbit of Mars is about 17,031.568 kilometers, but Mars has two irregular natural satellites, namely Phobos and Deimos.
Phobos is potato-shaped, orbiting Mars three times a day, with an average distance of about 9,378 kilometers from Mars. It is the larger of the two moons of Mars and the closest to Mars.
The distance between Phobos and Mars is also the shortest of all the moons in the solar system from their host star, only about 6,000 kilometers from the surface of Mars.
Deimos is Mars' smallest moon, with an average radius of 6.2 km and an escape velocity of 5.6 m/s (20 km/h), making it the smallest and outerer known moon of Mars.
Phobos is at a distance of 23,460 kilometers from Mars, orbiting Mars in a 30.3-hour period and orbiting at a speed of 1.35 kilometers per second.
In other words, the Mars synchronous orbit is between Phobos and Deimos, and although the volume and mass of Phobos and Deimos are not large, there may still be disturbances to the Martian synchronous orbit.
[Successfully entered orbit, has been successfully captured by Martian gravity, and is undergoing a synchronous orbit orbit correction operation," Masashi Kishimoto reported.
[Yuri reports to Bluestar that we have successfully reached the Mars synchronous orbit.] Fang Tianbo hurriedly instructed Yuri.
Since they are in the anti-charge fluid, they are all communicating quickly through the brain control system.
[Roger.] Yuri quickly packed up the information about the success of the day-by-day arrival on Mars and sent it back to Blue Star.
However, due to the distance, the distance between the Sunrise and the Blue Star is 141 million kilometers at this time, and it is moving away from the Blue Star as Mars orbits.
It takes about 470 seconds for the spacecraft's communication system to transmit back the communication waves of the Blue Star, which can be sent from the Ritian to the Blue Star, and the Blue Star sends to the Rituring No. is also about the same time, which means that it takes about 16 minutes to go back and forth at the earliest.
In about 8 minutes, the new Chang'an space station received the communication radio waves of the daily number.
"It has been reported that the Ritisol has safely reached the Mars synchronous orbit."
Bang Bang Bang ...... Wang Tiejun and Li Zhongting applauded happily, and the others were also very excited, this flight was the first time that human beings officially stepped into a planet other than the Blue Star, and at the same time, they also tested the Chase Sun spacecraft, which provided very valuable experience for the construction of a formal sub-light spacecraft.
After a while, Li Zhongting calmly ordered: "Reply to the daily number, let them carry out the set tasks, and finally wish them a smooth return to Blue Star." ”
"Yes." The staff quickly entered the information and replied to the daily number 141 million kilometers away.
Meanwhile.
Kaohsiung Space Center, Pakistan-China Space Center, Tanegashima Space Center, Moscow Space Center, Wenchang Space Center and other terrestrial space centers of the Human Innovation Alliance have also received good news that the Sun-By-Day has successfully entered the Mars synchronous orbit.
"Victory belongs to humanity!"
"It worked."
"Hahaha......"
"We have officially become a cosmic civilization."
“……”
Some people were ecstatic, some cried with joy, some hugged each other or laughed, and for a while, the depression brought by the triangular civilization was also washed away.
Soon the Ministry of Astronautics was disclosed to the public and an announcement was issued.
[Warmly celebrate the success of the Alliance's first sub-light spacecraft, the Richi-Ri test, and also celebrate the Manned Day-by-Day Mission's achievement of a manned Mars synchronous orbit...... ]
As soon as the rest came out, it immediately detonated the whole world.
The whole network forum, the largest social forum of the Human Innovation Alliance, suddenly boiled like boiling water.
"Sublightspeed ship??? (⊙x⊙; "—Confused blows
"The Sun-By-Day cruise can reach a speed of 41,400 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to 13.8% of the speed of light, and it only takes two or three hours to get back and forth to Mars, oh my God!" - Shocked UC
"As soon as he debuted, he was the pinnacle of existence, Mobike boss." - NASA doesn't cry
"Mars! Savadika! —Bangkok user
"Martian immigration is just around the corner, and the sea of stars is not a dream." - Frozen pears should be sucked
"It's so showy, I'm proud of the Human Innovation Alliance." - Panda Man
"I (???? ω????).?? o?? It is suspected that the Coalition has obtained alien technology" - unclear
"@不明觉厉, open the door to deliver the courier." - Temporary worker of the Spear Bureau
"God-like Alliance scientists." - Hokkaido hot springs
"It feels like NASA and the Western Space Agency have nothing to do with each other." - North Sea Shepherd
"It's too burning, come on!" ——Yangcheng users
"Long live the Alliance! Long live Lucia! —Polar bear
"@北极熊, it turned out to be dear Davaris, you from Tyumen?" - Panda Man
……
Mi Lijia, Facebook.
"@NASA, everyone else has built a sub-light spaceship, but you can't even get out of the Blue Star atmosphere now?" - Cowboys are busy
"The evil alliance is going to take over Mars, and if we don't act, we may not even have a chance to live an asteroid." - Black-skinned watermelon
"Wow! So cool (???) ▽??) The spaceship! —Star Trek
"Envy, jealousy, hatred! I have bought a tourist visa for a three-day trip to the moon. - Bob with his own luck
"@自带幸运的鲍勃, Lese! You're making enemies. —Red-necked Baroque
"@红脖子巴洛克, Texas cow dung will be spraying all over the mouth." Bring your own lucky Bob
"Protest! Protest! Against the abolition of overtime restrictions, you damn capitalists are going backwards by asking workers to work 10 hours a day and abolishing Saturday holidays. "- Heaven is not beautiful
Obviously, the social contradictions of the rice grain family are constantly accumulating and deepening, and the rice grain family, which has lost its position as the world's boss, is now in a state of exhaustion, and the internal contradictions and the external environment are constantly deteriorating.
……
NASA, Space Center Houston.
"Madam Councillor, there is nothing we can do now, your demands are too strong for people to do." John?? Burns said embarrassed.
Alice, a member of the Federal Parliament, asked with an ugly face: "The Federal Assembly has invested 150 billion US dollars this year, plus the original 80 billion US dollars, you tell me now, where are you going to use this money?"
"Lady Alice, we are not alchemists, nor are we magicians, scientific research projects cannot be successful all at once, we need time." Dr. Archimedes retorted.
"Councillor, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that inflation is too fast." John?? Burns reminded.
Alice suddenly fell silent, the depreciation of the American knife this year is very large, and now the purchasing power of the American knife is only about 60% ~ 70% of the previous one, while the federal government's fiscal revenue is declining, and now even if the Federal Reserve is crazy about printing money, it will not help, after all, the American knife oil system is on the verge of collapse, and international trade has been replaced by Martian coins.
"We can provide up to another 50 billion dollars in special funds, and you must give an explanation to the people, otherwise you know the consequences." Alice said a little frantically.
"We promise to rebuild the space station in 2021 and build a lunar base in 2025......"
"It's too slow, a lunar base must be built in 2022, and this is the deadline." With that, Alice turned and left.
John?? Burns, Dr. Archimedes, and others looked at each other.
