Chapter 312 - Astronauts Settled
The situation of the space station is being discussed in society, and after a long period of media publicity, the public focuses on space.
The media has been publicizing for many days, and many companies have also learned the specific inside story of the aerospace industry.
They learned that the price of building a small satellite and launching it into space only costs more than 1 million yuan, and the price of mass customization is low.
The preferential reduction of transportation costs in the aerospace industry has been perceived by enterprises across the country.
People who are optimistic about the aerospace industry immediately took action, believing that the aerospace industry is a new economic growth point.
At the same time, it is also the most important development direction for the next few hundred years. The Earth's space is so small that it is barely enough to accommodate 7 billion people.
The era of nuclear peace will continue, and the world's population will continue to grow.
The development of ocean and underground space is a last resort, and the best way is to develop space space.
The solar system is not even a speck of dust in the entire universe.
How big the heart is, how much living space can be developed.
During this time, the Spark Space Company became busy, and a lot of people asked them about the price of mass projectors to transport items into space.
There are also many companies that have taken practical action and started to customize spacecraft and launch them into designated orbits through Spark Space Transportation.
On August 5, the relevant personnel of the space station program came to the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan.
Today, the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan will carry out a manned space mission.
It's going to send three astronauts into the space station.
Song Ning, director of the astronaut training base, brought three astronauts wearing blue spacesuits.
They were two men and a woman, one of whom was about thirty years old, and the rest of the men and one girl were all about twenty-three.
Song Ning introduced them to the crowd: "This is the elite astronauts of our base.
The older one is a veteran astronaut who has already experienced a space mission, and his name is Du Long.
The other two are newcomers, but they've trained hard and they've done what we're looking for. They are Wang Tong and Kong Deyang. ”
Feng Hai said softly: "I hope you have all the best on this trip."
You need to live in the space station for half a year to a year, which is the longest time that our national astronauts have stayed in space. ”
The astronauts saluted Feng Hai, and Du Long assured in a serious tone: "We will stick to our posts, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and provide the country with data for long-term survival on the space station."
We will definitely stick to the last moment of the mission. ”
Zhou Yu waved his hand and explained in a stern tone: "Your idea is wrong, if you find that you are unwell, immediately report and return to Earth."
Your long-term life on the space station, the changes in endocrine and cellular production are also very important data.
Depending on the changes in your body, we can adjust our endocrine and dietary structure, so that we can survive in space for a long time in the future. ”
Feng Hai also immediately said: "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices that can be avoided, you have to try your best to complete the task, but we don't need you to work hard to complete the task now."
Song Ning's smart device rang, and he said: "The space launch center is ready, and I am ready to send astronauts into the spacecraft."
Song Ning took the astronauts to the maintenance workshop of the launch vehicle.
From here, astronauts enter the spacecraft directly, and the spacecraft is then placed on the launch vehicle.
Soon after they left, the huge launch vehicle was translated from the factory building along with the rocket mount.
Feng Hai looked at this huge carrier rocket, and he said with emotion: "This is the Xinghai-1 launch vehicle, a high-thrust launch vehicle specially developed for space exploration.
It uses a liquid oxygen kerosene engine as the main engine and four particle electric propulsion engines as auxiliary engines to adjust attitude.
It can easily propel spacecraft weighing up to 200 tons and can guarantee a 100% success rate for each launch. ”
Through smart devices, they can see the status of the astronauts in the spacecraft.
The astronauts are all curled up in an egg-shaped chair that feels familiar.
That's right, they're the same seats as flying cars, the protective cockpit.
The protective cockpit has been specially developed to counteract the powerful accelerations that occur during the launch of the rocket.
After astronauts use the protective cockpit, they can effectively resist the hazards caused by acceleration.
For the manned space launch mission, many reporters came to film, and there were many people outside the cordon of the space launch center.
The time soon came to the moment when the launch vehicle was ignited, and a huge wave of water vapor rose.
The launch vehicle spewed long tongues of fire into the sky.
With a distance of more than 400 kilometers, this is just a short trip for the Xinghai-1 launch vehicle.
Shortly after the launch vehicle flew into space, it found a space station in orbit at high speed.
At this time, the rocket and the spacecraft have completed the separation of the star and arrow, and the next step is to dock the spacecraft and the space station.
This docking process is the strong point of the space station, and it is easier than docking between the standard modules of the space station.
The biggest feature is that the spacecraft can move at will, and after the first docking failure, it can readjust its attitude and dock again.
Even if the spaceship docks easily, they still strive for perfection without compromising on anything.
The spacecraft aimed at the orientation of the interface at one time and successfully docked directly with the space station.
Astronaut captain Du Long learned that the spacecraft and the space station were successfully docked.
Tell the crew to put on their spacesuits and get ready to enter the space station.
He walked over to the place where the spacecraft docked with the space station, and gradually opened the locked hatch as he had done during training.
The steps to open this hatch are complex, requiring 6 consecutive steps before the hatch can finally open.
The control structure of the hatch is mechanical, and there are so many steps required to open it in order to prevent it from being accidentally triggered in an emergency.
"Bump!"
This muffled sound marked the official opening of the hatch, and Du Long led Kong Deyang and Wang Tong into the space station together.
This represents the astronauts of Huaxia who have officially settled in the space station of Huaxia.
When Feng Hai saw that they had successfully walked into the space station, he immediately got in touch with the astronauts.
"How does your body feel? Walking in the space station adapted? ”
Du Long heard the sound of the ground clearly in his ears, and he was all sighing about the progress of the country's communication methods.
He immediately replied, "Our body is wonderful, and we don't have the feeling of weakness that we had after going to heaven before.
I think the technology of the protected cockpit is very important, and the only difference between me and my previous space missions is the protected cockpit. ”
"The space station is also very good here, the first thing we enter is the living module, I checked the equipment, there are no toxic and harmful substances here, and the oxygen content also meets our needs."
As Du Long finished speaking, he suddenly took off the helmet of his spacesuit, took a few deep breaths, and continued.
"The gravity is also very good, and I feel a lot easier here than on Earth, which is why the gravity is not strong enough.
But we are already in a much better state than we are in weightlessness, and we have no problem doing some regular activities. ”
After Feng Hai listened to what Du Long said, he was relieved, the space station really lived up to expectations, and all kinds of equipment were running very well.
