Chapter 433: The Moon Codex (2)
According to the pre-set plan of the Space Development Commission, they will reach 300 kilometers of the moon's low-earth orbit in 14 hours, and then orbit the moon.
Obviously, this speed is much faster than ordinary spacecraft, such as the Apollo moon landing spacecraft, which took a full 97 hours to reach the moon's low Earth orbit from the Blue Star.
Ma Wu interacted with the audience, while paying attention to the driving status of the spacecraft from time to time, in fact, it was the autopilot system and Zhu Gang who drove the spacecraft, and Ma Wu was in charge of the commander-in-chief.
"According to the report, the new Chang'e-1 is 5,700 kilometers away from us, and they are flying in good condition." Qin Hailu said.
"Reply to them, we are about to leave the orbit of the Blue Star and enter the stage of straight flight." Ma Wu commanded.
"Roger."
Qin Hailu sent a message to the new Chang'e-1 through a communication system, as a starship, the Conqueror 1 used multi-frequency communications, from ultra-long waves to microwaves, terahertz and lasers, and now long-distance communications, they generally use ultra-long wave frequencies.
……
Shanghai Life Science Hospital.
The Lin Jingning sisters in the ward were quietly watching the live broadcast of the Conqueror 1.
The two stared intently at the live broadcast screen, especially Zhu Gang, who had been silently operating the spaceship, although Zhu Gang did not have many shots, the sisters still watched it with relish.
"Sister, Brother Gangzi is really handsome, much more handsome than their words." Lin Ning complained about Ma Wu in his heart.
Looking at the lover in the picture, Lin Ningning felt both happy and sad, if it weren't for his body, maybe the two would have tied the knot.
She silently prayed for Zhu Gang, wishing them all the best.
……
Kaohsiung Sky City.
Astronaut training base, 106 dormitories.
Bailey, who has just been selected from the Australian Space Agency, is also watching the live broadcast of the lunar exploration spacecraft.
"Is this the ship we're going to take to outer space in the future?" Another Siam district reservist, Li Xinhua, asked.
Don't look at this Li Xinhua is a Tang name, in fact, he is from the Thai ethnic group, fortunately, the function of the star translation is powerful, and it can achieve multilingual barrier-free communication, otherwise they would not have a way to communicate.
"Yes, Ma Wu's predecessors are now piloting a combined spacecraft with a total volume of 1,540 cubic meters and a total weight of 550 tons, which is even larger than the previous International Space Station." Shuichi Aso, from Nagoya, Toei Ward, explained.
"If I could fly a spaceship through space, I might be the first astronaut in Siam." Li Xinhua imagines the future.
"Don't rejoice too soon, you want to go to space for at least a year of training." Shuichi Aso reminded.
"Uh......" Li Xinhua suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, in this dormitory, he was a pure novice, and the other three were astronaut reserves with a certain foundation.
Suddenly, Zhang Wei, the head of the dormitory, opened the door and walked in with a few documents.
"Senior Zhang, let's watch the live broadcast of the lunar spacecraft." Shuichi Aso spoke first to say hello.
"Stop for a moment, this is a professional form, and each of you fills it out one by one." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he handed the three documents to the three of them.
After receiving the documents, they hurriedly flipped through them, and although there were star translators, they could read Chinese without barriers, but they were a little hesitant about what major to choose.
"Senior Zhang, what major should we choose? Can you give me some pointers?" Aso Shuichi hurriedly asked respectfully.
"You can choose according to your hobbies, and after the first semester, there is a chance to choose a new major, you can consider it while studying, and the teaching content of the first semester is all general courses." Zhang Wei gave them a general idea of the internal situation.
Hearing this, the three of them immediately relaxed, the fastest was Li Xinhua, he directly chose the driver major, and Bailey chose the correspondent major, Aso Xiu thought for a while and filled in the maintenance professional.
Zhang Wei put away the professional form and left the dormitory.
The three of them once again stared at the live broadcast room, but they were made to laugh by the funny comments of netizens in the comment area.
"Ahh The universe is so big, the starry sky is so empty, and the moon today is big and round. "—Poetry and Distance
"@诗和远方, good poetry, good poetry, brother and Taiwan." - Bullshit
"The Mi Lijia has already landed on the moon, what's the point of repeating it now? It's just a great joy to work hard and lose money. ——Xiangjiang waste wood
"@香江废材, the yellow soup is poured into Rukou, this thing is the most sobering; Don't come forward with sugar, don't give a point of sweetness. "—Liuwei Dihuang Pill
"There are also residues of waste materials, just report it." - The Martian
"The new Chang'e-1 spacecraft is great, if only the Lion City also had such a spaceship, so envious and envious (?????? ω???? `)。 - Port stevedore
"@港口装卸工, are you envious? You're hungry for her body, you're cheap. —Wang Sledgehammer
"I admit that I covet her body, and I am cheap." - Annan users
"@安南用户, envy, jealousy, hatred? When we circle the moon, we will definitely give you a square meter at that time. "—Moonman
"It's too much, how can you let them stand on the moon and let them watch." - Hospitality
"The moon is ours, Mars is also ours, the eight planets of the solar system are ours, and it is okay to give Pluto to the rice grains." - Song Tiezhen fan
The daily joy of sand sculpture netizens brought a lot of laughter to the serious spaceship live broadcast room.
The other side.
The Conqueror 1 spacecraft has left the orbit around the Blue Star and entered a straight flight phase.
At full speed, the spacecraft is approaching the moon at an astonishing speed, advancing an average of 46,800 kilometers per hour.
At this time, the distance between the Conqueror 1 spacecraft and the Moon's low-Earth orbit was about 210,000 kilometers.
After the acceleration of the gravitational slingshot, the Conqueror 1 spacecraft is flying by inertia, and the auxiliary engine corrects the direction of flight, and the main engine has been turned off.
Indeed, if a mass projector can be used in synchronous orbit to project a spacecraft to the moon, the speed can be faster and the fuel can be more economical.
However, the mass projector on the synchronous orbit has not yet been built, and the mass projector (planetary railgun) of the synchronous orbit will not be put into service until at least the end of this year.
As for why the Space Development Commission was in such a hurry to land on the moon? Mainly for staking and seizing the opportunity.
Around March next year, the Wenchang mass projector will almost be put into use, and other forces will inevitably enter the moon at that time.
And the purpose of the Space Development Commission is very simple, to occupy a vantage point on the moon, to establish a permanent lunar base, to go someone else's way, so that others have no way out.
This is also the reason why the Space Development Commission is indifferent to the technology that can clean up the space junk in the low Earth orbit of the Blue Star.
The barrier formed by these space junks directly scraps the possibility of landing a launch vehicle on the moon, unless other countries are willing to risk astronauts and billions of launch vehicles.
Due to the existence of the space junk barrier, the Space Development Commission has at least a nine-month window period, during which only CODA spacecraft can freely enter outer space.
If you don't occupy a good place on the moon now, when will you wait?
