Chapter Ninety-One: Into Orbit
The next few days were spent in anxiety and anticipation, and the uneasy thing was the space gap between China and the United States, and this fear caused by the unknown was like a person walking at night in the dark, who had no means of self-protection, and hid a lot of money in his clothes, which was really trembling.
And what is looking forward to is naturally the successful docking of the National Space Center and the embrace of the motherland, like a bright light in the night road, which is desirable.
But seeing the light, it doesn't mean that you can walk under the light, not to mention the twists and turns and difficulties on the way, even if you arrive safely, how to attract the attention of the other party and achieve the desired attention?
So this problem has also become the main target of several people in recent days, and finally after referring to a number of science fiction movies that have come into contact with aliens, they have found a way to have a less high degree of risk exposure. The rest of the time, everyone will continue to simulate and modify this method until it is foolproof.
These days' contact, Su Province has not yet touched the core part, but it can be regarded as unanimously recognized by everyone, although he did not directly tell him about the existence of the lunar base, but the main objects of discussion these days and the research and development projects involved are almost aimed at this direction. Subtly, it also brought him into this strange atmosphere.
。。。。。。
After a 42-day orbit change period, the long-light telemetry satellite, which originally belonged to the earth, has now fallen into the gravitational range of the moon and has become a lunar polar orbit satellite, at this time it is already at an altitude of 45KM above the north pole of the moon, that is, the lowest position of the current orbit. And the last orbital change that awaits it, and the most important one, is about to begin.
In the Huaxia Aerospace Command Center, in the satellite monitoring hall, wide screens are hung all over the wall, and all kinds of analog graphics are drawn on it, from orbit to satellite attitude, from space climate to band communication.
This is also the first long-distance and multi-directional assisted satellite orbit change project in China so far, involving as many as 18 communication satellites, not to mention the radio telescope group that undertakes the task of liaison on the ground.
"There are still 30 seconds left before the orbit is lowered, the satellite attitude is normal, the ignition valve is normal, the RCS attitude stabilizer is normal... The voice of the radio operator began to sound in the hall, compact and indifferent, but it touched the hearts of everyone present.
"Ignition countdown preparation, 15... 10。。 9。。 ”
Everyone present silently followed the countdown in their hearts, some clenched their fists, some silently bit their fingers, except for the dripping sound of the equipment, there was only the countdown of the telegrapher.
“3。。。 2.。。。 1.。。。 Ignition.. ”
"The ignition command has been received, and the engine is working normally!"
"RCS stabilization system is normal!"
"The directional wheel is working properly!"
“。。。 Normal"
“。。 Normal"
“。。 30 seconds left until the engine shuts down... ”
With the sound of the voices of all the newspaper personnel in the venue, some people couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, and put their hands tightly together to cover their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming, and more people clenched their fists tightly, staring at the simulated picture on the big screen, and couldn't notice their slightly trembling bodies.
"The engine is in normal condition, the countdown to the flameout is ready, 15... 10.。。 ”
The simulation screen on the big screen can clearly see that an elliptical orbit around the moon is becoming a perfect circle in a visible attitude after this short 1 minute change, and the apogee from the south pole of the moon has shrunk a lot at this moment, almost the same height as the orbit above the North Pole.
“3.。。 2,。。。 1.。 Flameout! ”
With a command, the originally shrinking simulated orbit suddenly stopped, turned into a circle around the edge of the moon, and the line changed from a dotted line to a solid line.
“。。。 The posture is normal... ”
“。。。 The reading is normal... ”
“。。。”
The voice of the operator sounded immediately, and it seemed orderly, and it could be heard from their tone, that the original indifference also carried a hint of excitement.
In the end, the person in charge of the command center took over the closing report, and said with a full of anger, almost shouting:
"I announce that the GY-21 program, the long-light telemetry satellite, the orbit change program, the successful !!"
Suddenly, shouts flooded the hall.
Everyone in the audience stood up and cheered, this is one of the greatest orbit changes that have been carried out since the construction of this command center, especially the multiple perigee orbit changes, each time the node position needs to be accurate to the second: one more second orbit will be too large, and one second less orbit will be too small. If something goes wrong, it means that the remaining fuel will be used up needlessly, making it more difficult to reach the moon successfully.
Fortunately, with the unremitting efforts of everyone and the excellent quality of Changguang Satellite, this kind of oolong incident did not happen.
While everyone in the hall cheered, the two middle-aged people standing at the door also exhaled heavily, after all, whether it is for the staff in the aerospace system, or for people with special missions like them, seeing the country reach a new height in a certain field is exciting after all, especially when they are still involved, the excitement is even stronger.
But this did not stop the rational thinking of the two, one of them nodded, flashed out of the door, and passed the news of the successful orbit change, and after a while, the person in charge of the command center received a notice asking him to hand over the special control authority of the Changguang telemetry satellite.
Along with this news came the state security department.
The person in charge realized the importance of this change of track, and handed over the authority without complaining, and then was dumbfounded by the pile of confidential documents, and then he realized that this Changguang change of track seemed to be just the beginning of something. However, he has already fulfilled his task and has no reason or right to continue to participate.
After all, the state has already made preparations for this, and only two hours later, the signals that the satellite hears, sees, and even can send are only handed over to the national security organs, and it is extremely impossible for others to get their hands on it.
"Team Wang, I was sweating in my palms just now," a plainclothes member drove the car and said to the captain of the co-pilot.
"Who says it's not, this baby thing is the size of our car at best, and how many people revolve around it, but fortunately, the hard work pays off." The middle-aged man who was called the king team had resolute eyebrows, and his eyes were full of sharpness. "Xiao Xu, after you finish this project, go home and rest for two days, the new daughter-in-law hasn't seen her for a while, so I sent you, and I won't let you go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to face your family in the future." The task was completed, naturally there was no need to be so nervous, and the follow-up of more than 1 month in a row almost made the members forget the feeling of home, Wang Qifeng simply became a good person and issued an amnesty order to the members.
"Long live the King!!"
Cheers rang out from inside the car.
