Chapter 084: Hawk Island Space Station and Manned Spacecraft

Not only Carl Einstein went to the Hawk Island space station, but He Xiao himself was also preparing to go.

It wasn't a very sensible decision, but he just couldn't wait to check it out.

Who doesn't like to go to space and see the blue stars from space!

However, if you want to go to space, you have to go through rigorous simulation training, including weightlessness and overweight training in various environments, as well as some basic skills and so on.

But because He Xiao and Diana have a superhuman version of the physique, their training is much simpler, such as the most painful overweight environment training for astronauts, which is very easy for them.

Hawk Island's manned spacecraft is named after the "Duke X", which is not entirely independently developed by Hawk Island, and its basic technology and equipment are purchased from the Xizhou Space Agency.

It's not completely impossible, if you really have enough money, some technology and equipment that do not involve military use should also be available, but the price is too expensive, and it is not cost-effective to buy.

There is no need, he buys basic technology and equipment, in fact, the same as he buys aircraft carriers, mainly to create news, get traffic, and pave the way for future entries.

People in the world are surprised by the various local tyrants on Hawk Island to buy and buy at the same time, they will also form an anchor point, knowing that Hawk Island is conducting this research, when one day he sees Hawk Island making up a new thing, their first reaction will not be doubt, but exclaim: It was really done for them?!

After some preliminary preparations, at 0:13 on December 31, 2027, the Huofeng 7D carrier rocket carrying the Duke 9 manned spacecraft was ignited at the Hawk Island Satellite Launch Center.

About 611 seconds later, the Duke 9 manned spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit, successfully sending He Xiao, Diana and other 5 astronauts from Hawk Island into space.

The core module of the Hawk Island space station and the combination of two cargo spacecraft have entered the docking orbit, meeting the mission requirements for rendezvous and docking and the conditions for astronauts to be stationed!

At 6:49 on December 31, the autonomous fast rendezvous and docking mode was successfully docked to the radial port of the core module, and the two cargo spacecraft that had been docked before formed a four-cabin combination, and the whole rendezvous and docking process lasted about 6 hours and 20 minutes!

The astronaut crew entered the orbital module from the return module, and after completing the work according to the procedure, He Xiao personally opened the core module door of the space station, and at 10:01 on October 31, 5 astronauts entered the core module successively, and the Hawk Island space station ushered in the second flight crew and the first female astronaut Diana!

The orbital altitude of the Hawk Island space station is 420 kilometers, the inclination angle is 42.75 degrees, the design life is 12 years, and the long-term residence of 5 people, of which the core module is 21 meters long, the maximum diameter is 5.1 meters, and the launch mass is 29 tons.

Since the core module of the Hawk Island space station has two 12-meter-long robotic arms, coupled with the shape of its long strips and solar "wings", it looks particularly like a super-large metal mantis!

"Reincarnation Paradise"

As the newest space station of Blue Star, the Hawk Island space station has not yet been fully built, and it is not the largest and most well-equipped, but the equipment and environment inside the core module are the most advanced and tidy......

It's so pleasant to look at.

The gravity-free environment, for He Xiao and the other five people, is actually not the first time to experience, after all, they have undergone special simulation training before, but in real space, it still feels particularly wonderful.

Including He Xiao and Diana, everyone is experiencing all kinds of wonderful postures and movements......

They will also try to throw a ping pong ball and "rub" a suspended water ballo......

Very fun.

No, it should be said, they are conducting various scientific experiments.

What shocked He Xiao the most was watching the huge blue star through the porthole of the sleeping area!

The blue star reflected the light very strongly, and the clouds flowed extremely fast, and the sense of oppression was so strong that he felt as if he had a phobia of giants. 、

At night, you can clearly see the lights on the Blue Star Continent, where the earth is prosperous, where is inaccessible, at a glance, very shocking.

The porthole is the standard configuration of the manned spacecraft, overlooking the earth and enjoying the beauty of space is only incidental, its main responsibility is to observe the operation of the spacecraft, it can be used as the astronaut's external observation in the case of electronic equipment failure, is the eye of the manned spacecraft.

The space in the sleeping area is relatively small, a bit like a high-speed rail sleeper...... But there's nothing to worry about, after all, one square meter here may be worth hundreds of millions...... The most expensive house on earth is completely incomparable.

This is a spherical room!

Of course, what shocked He Xiao the most was the deep space of the universe.

Completely different from the blue sky seen on Earth, the deep sky here is completely transparent, and there is no end in sight......

It's not darkness, it's that there are no borders.

It's a bit like you're standing on a cliff hundreds of meters high and looking down......

This shock reached its peak more than ten days later, when they went out of the cabin in turn according to the plan.

On the day of the first mission, from 8:00 a.m. when He Xiao opened the airlock hatch to 14:40 p.m. on the same day, the space exit time totaled 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Due to the large number of preparations for the out-of-cabin mission and the time limit for the out-of-cabin mission, the astronauts will deploy the preparations in advance in order to be sure.

The focus of the preparation for leaving the capsule is naturally to wear an extravehicular spacesuit weighing about 120 kilograms, which was independently developed and designed by the Mars program, and was not directly created by He Xiao with an entry, they already have a fairly high scientific research and manufacturing capacity.

The advantage of this extravehicular suit is that the joints of various body parts are more flexible, and the gloves of the extravehicular spacesuit can even grasp objects with a diameter of 0.5 cm, and the autonomy support time out of the capsule can be up to 8 hours.

The superpower's advantage in space is still very obvious, such as opening the hatch, at first it was another astronaut, he desperately opened the door there to pull the hatch, tried his best, but he couldn't pull it open, the force was too great, and he even planned to use a crowbar......

And He Xiao just pulled a little harder, and then easily opened the hatch.

In addition, he is much easier than everyone else to move inside the space station, and he can move quickly or change the floating form of his body with a single "handle" of his fingers.

He never expected that the super muscle he had worked so hard to build would never have a chance to fight, but it would be used here.
