"It has been confirmed, all the data is up to standard, and we are safely parked into Europa's orbit."

Sidney, who was in charge of data observation on the Archangel, told the news, and everyone cheered.

"Ness! We're finally here! ”

"God forbid, we're safe, it's been a thrilling ride!"

"Haha, we made history, we are the farthest humans who have flown in space!"

"Cheers, guys, I suggest we get a bottle of champagne during our flight around Europa, after all, we'll be parting in two days."

"Sidney, report to the command center, and we'll open the champagne while we wait for a reply!"

"Wow! I praise you, Captain! ”

It's completely understandable that they are so excited, and their mood has been relatively stable within three months of leaving their home planet, but after three months, the mood between several astronauts has become a bit problematic.

Especially the engineer Mario, a strong and honest white man who was already a little silent, and then he didn't say a word, just silently inspected the spacecraft every day, maintained the spacecraft, and even had little interest in recording home communications, which lasted for more than half a month.

Fortunately, the psychiatrist Elsa is super capable, and the care of the other members of the team has allowed Mario to get out of this state.

After three months, it took more than a year for the Archangel to get close to Jupiter, and several members had similar psychological problems, even Elsa, who was a psychiatrist, but fortunately they all survived.

After that, they summed up their experience and compiled everything into a report, which is what humans should pay attention to when they go on interstellar voyages in the future.

After summing up, they found that these psychological changes are often related to external factors, such as physical problems caused by strong radiation, problems with spacecraft caused by various failures, and even a perforation of the bulkhead caused by the impact of asteroid debris, a rapid decrease in air pressure and oxygen content in the cabin, and a slight deviation of the course caused by air jets, and the astronauts almost collapsed.

Space is no better than on the home star, in the home star can swim in the shipwreck, and in the air crash can also have a glimmer of life, but in the space of an accident, especially far away from the home star, it will be dead, and you can't even wait for rescue.

Therefore, every time something related to "death" happens, it will cause violent emotional changes among the astronauts of the Archangel.

After entering Jupiter's gravitational circle, they began to flip the ship to slow down, and then transfer its orbit towards Europa, the whole process was also in fear, and now that they finally reached their destination, they could breathe a sigh of relief.

After more than a year, they felt that they could make a one-step movie, everyone else had gone to prepare for the champagne party, Sidney was also quickly debriefing on the mission, and he felt that his dark skin was not as dark as before, but he had to relax.

After reporting the task, Sidney immediately went to the restaurant, he is a hot little expert, and his natural skills rap can always open his mouth, which will always bring happiness to everyone.

During the celebration, a lot of videos were filmed, which were all sent back to the command center, so that the people of the world would know that they were not abused, that they were not crazy, and that they were doing well.

This journey has been flying for more than a year, and the recorded "weekly diary" is getting more and more watery, and now they finally get to Europa, and they can finally have something new, and they will not let go of this opportunity to record a lot of things at once.

However, everyone had a task to do, so they only had a drink, felt the cheerful atmosphere, and after lifting their spirits, it was over, and after receiving the reply from the command center, they began to prepare nervously.

The command center's order was to proceed according to plan, and the Archangel flew around Europa, resting and recuperating while releasing the latest detection satellites to make more precise measurements and observations of several landing sites, and finally determine a landing site.

Because this plan was carried out in a bit of a hurry, the information on Europa obtained by the command center was several years ago, and even if there was new information, it was obtained by the "old probe" several years ago, and the accuracy was not as good as the latest probe, so the Archangel needed to measure it again.

However, they are still very confident in their own technology, and then confirm with the new equipment is just to make the mission more smoothly and ensure the safety of the astronauts, and there is definitely not much difference between the data before and after.

After determining the final landing site, the four people landed in the landing craft, and two remained on the Archangel to provide vigilance and information transmission for the landing craft.

After the landing craft landed, it drilled and sampled in the best spots, with the ultimate goal of drilling into the subglacial ocean, and then obtaining the situation in the ocean to determine if there was any life on Europa, so as to establish the Federation's technological position on the home planet and win the technology and space competition.

The excited members of the Europa project know that a lot has happened on the planet in the past year, but they don't know the inside story, so they don't affect their plans, or no one interrupts their plans, they are still working on the most cutting-edge scientific research projects of mankind.

And these six astronauts who are far away in the orbit of Jupiter don't know what is happening on the home planet, they are also excitedly doing their part, the new probe carried by the Archangel was soon released, and the data they needed was quickly reflected.

"Look at the No. 1 landing site here, similar to the information provided before, this piece is all sharp "dentition icicles", rows like knives, although there is a relatively flat landing area next to it, but I feel that the risk is still too great, what do you think? Captain Gordon said, pointing to an area on the screen.

"That's right, I think so too, I've done an analysis, there are too few flat areas here, and if there is a deviation during the landing, our landing craft may be directly pierced, so although the ice here is the thinnest, it is not suitable." Sidney knows the numbers best, and that's why he's here.

"What about No. 2 here, I think it's good, the ice is relatively thin, and the terrain is flat, and the data in other aspects are more appropriate."

"It's a good place......

They discussed the landing site for a long time, and finally confirmed that it was the second landing site, and sent all the data and discussion process back to the command center, and then after more than two hours, the command center also agreed to their plan.

Once the plan was confirmed, they flew around Europa a few more times, did a final check, and after making sure that the left and right conditions were perfect, they were ready to land.

"Good luck, buddy! I'll prepare well these days, and I'll wait for you to come back for a big meal! ”

Liu Yi patted Mario on the shoulder, then handed him the helmet.

"Don't worry! We'll be back safely for your meal. Mario took the helmet and said with a smile: "And we are here to make history, even God is on our side, we are on the Archangel." ”

Beth next to her also smiled and said, "That's great, I'm going to eat your homemade artisanal cheese, I've had enough of those dry cheeses!" ”

Sidney also walked over with his helmet and took out a photo from a pocket on the chest of his spacesuit to show them, "See, this is my beautiful girlfriend Jenny, I swore when we left Homestar that I would marry her when we went back, and it is the same now." ”

As he spoke, he pointed the camera on Mario's shoulder, put the photo to his mouth, kissed it, and then put it back in his pocket and patted it and said, "I'm going to land on Europa with Jenny, she'll love me to death!" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone laughed, and Captain Gordon patted him on the head, "If Jenny knew that you were deprived of landing because of your wordiness, she would definitely dump you." ”

"Oh no, Captain, don't do it."

"Haha......"

Among the four people on this landing is Captain Gordon, who needs to make decisions on the spot, and Mario, the engineer, who needs to repair the drilling equipment and landing craft.

The final destination of the borehole is the subglacial ocean, and the organisms that want to be identified are also marine organisms, so the marine biologist Beth is indispensable, and Sidney, who is in charge of computer and data observations, is also missing, and he is needed for any subtle data changes.

And you can still sing.

As for the doctor and psychologist Elsa and the botanist Liu Yi, they stayed on the Archangel and provided all kinds of information assistance to the landing craft.

After the four of them sat in the No. 1 landing craft, Liu Yi sat in the driver's seat of the Archangel and pressed the release button, and finally with the assistance of the artificial intelligence "Archangel", the No. 1 landing craft landed towards the destination.
