Under the efficient actions of a large number of staff at the IEA's Pacific base.

At the launch site, next to the tall launch tower, a giant launch vehicle carrying the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle is ready.

In the central command center of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, many scientists are busy all the time, making the final preparations before the launch.

"Starship spaceship, starship spaceship, this is the base command center, please reply when you hear it."

Gianna, the commander of this launch mission and the president of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, called the Starship spacecraft that was orbiting the earth while looking at the monitoring screen.

"Command center, this is the starship spaceship, please instruct." After about 15 seconds, the central command center received a response from Earth's outer space.

"The Quanyue Mars landing vehicle will be launched in an hour, and it will reach the predetermined orbit after about 29 minutes and 30 seconds of flight time, and the planned arrival position is about 2.3 kilometers in front of the starship spacecraft, with a margin of error of 0.4 kilometers, please prepare for capture and docking immediately!" Gianna carefully informed the starship spaceship of her next plans.

"Everything is fine with the Starship spacecraft, the docking system is ready, please keep your eyes on the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle at all times, because we have completely locked its ass."

"Ha~ha, this Frank ......". Dean Riot and the others in the command center shook their heads and smiled.

Frank has always been full of personality, he is the most important subordinate of Dean Watt, and he is also the best member of the scientific team leader of the Pacific Base of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance. Dean Gianna had naturally heard about this, so he didn't say anything.

Soon, the countdown time indicates that the system starts again.

"Ten Minutes to Prepare" ......

"Five-minute preparation" ......

"One Minute Prep" ......

"Let's go!!"

With Gianna's order, the loud roar from the launch site continued again.

After the launch of the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle, Frank and the Starship spacecraft pilot Jenson secured himself to the operating platform with a safety device, and was always on standby.

In the Starship spaceship, all the astronauts also gathered in the operation module.

However, Yuan Haochen and the others didn't have any specific work, just observing and waiting with solemn expressions on the side.

Unlike others, Yuan Haochen took it very seriously, and from time to time memorized Jensen's operation steps and skills.

"Keanu Reeves, please report on the status of the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle." From time to time, Gianna asks Keanu Reeves, the pilot of the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle, in the command center.

"Report to Dean Gianna, the Quanyue is running normally." Keanu Reeves replied.

"Very well, please stay in shape, in five minutes the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle will be out of the launch vehicle and ready to enter the intended flight orbit."

Five minutes later, the huge launch vehicle finally completed its mission, the power plant slowly stopped working, and finally crashed into the Earth's atmosphere.

"Report to Dean Gianna, the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle has successfully detached from the launch vehicle."

"You're doing a good job, activate the Quanyue propulsion system and correct the flight trajectory." Gianna continued to order after receiving the news.

"Report to the command center that the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle has successfully entered the predetermined orbit." Soon, propelled by its own power, Izumi successfully entered the same orbit around the Earth as the Starship spaceship and reached the vicinity of the Starship spaceship.

"Starship spaceship, can you search for the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle?" Gianna turned her attention to the starship spaceship once again.

"Report to Dean Gianna, not only can we search, but we can see with our eyes the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle, which is about 2.1 kilometers in front of the Starship spacecraft." Jensen, the pilot of the starship spaceship, replied with a little excitement.

"Very well, what is the current relative velocity between you?" Dean Gianna continued.

"Relative velocity 56.7 meters per second."

"The speed is too fast, please adjust the relative speed as soon as possible, and approach the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle, and hurry up to catch this kid Keanu Reeves for me." Gianna continued to give instructions.

When the overall structure of a spacecraft is too large and complex, it is a relatively safe way to choose to launch its structural components multiple times, and then complete the docking and assembly work in space.

Space docking is when two or more spacecraft are connected during space flight to form a larger spacecraft complex to accomplish a specific mission.

In order for two spacecraft to dock, it is necessary to accurately control the orbit of the spacecraft and steer the spacecraft directionally, which involves a number of complex technologies such as guidance, tracking, and course correction.

However, through years of scientific and technological development and the accumulation of human space experience, this complex work has long been mastered by major space organizations.

The United States completed the first space docking mission in human history, and the former Soviet Union completed the first unmanned space docking mission.

"Keanu Reeves, now the relative distance between us is only one kilometer." Jensen, the pilot of the Starship spacecraft, initiates a real-time conversation with the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle.

Through the porthole of the starship spaceship, Yuan Haochen could already clearly see the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle in front of him.

On the Starship spacecraft, everyone watched the Quanyue Mars landing craft in space very intently, looking forward to the docking performance of the two pilots.

"Okay, pay attention to the relative speed, if you want to push my ass hard, then I can't bear it." Keanu Reeves replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle, and you should also pay attention to adjusting the angle and distance."

Over the next few days, the Starship spacecraft gradually approached Quanyue at a slightly faster speed than the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle.

Jenson and Keanu Reeves are worthy of being the top spacecraft pilots at the IEA's Pacific base, and they are very skilled in cooperation and operation.

After several adjustments to the displacement and relative velocity, the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle finally completed the space docking with the Starship spacecraft perfectly.

"Docking complete!" Keanu Reeves and Jenson both announced at the same time.

"It feels like an airplane refueling in the air." "Well done!"

The people who had been quiet and watched intently began to discuss after the docking was completed.

"Guys, I've kept you waiting."

After a while, Keanu Reeves walked out of the docking tunnel between the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle and the starship spacecraft.

"Welcome, lad." Frank was the first to applaud and said......

After the successful completion of the launch and docking of the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle, the launch platform of the Pacific Base continues to prepare for the launch of the [Mars Habitation Module] in an orderly manner.

Although the Mars Habitation Module is the last spacecraft component of this Mars landing expedition, it is extremely important.

Because, the [Mars Habitation Module] will become a temporary base for the astronauts of the Mars exploration operation on Mars, and it will be a place for everyone except Jensen and Nikolaev (who will stay in the Starship spaceship at all times) for the next year.

Unlike the launch of the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle, the [Mars Habitation Module] does not have a special pilot, so it will be slightly more difficult to dock.

However, with the presence of two experienced spacecraft pilots, Jenson and Keanu Reeves, and the careful control and cooperation of the ground command center, the [Mars Habitation Module] also completed the docking very smoothly one day later.

At this point, the Pacific base of the Star Exploration Alliance has finally completed their "grilled sausage splicing" program in orbit around the Earth.

With a few more adjustments, the Mars landing and exploration operation will officially begin......
