Explorer Seven piloted "Lu" to find Isis purely to be bored to take a look, after all, after intense work, several robots near the Qom impact crater wear out very quickly, and it is better to wander around than wait to be unable to move and become garbage.

In fact, the space agency was also very interested in the NACA-built rover, so the operation was not improvised.

The behavior of the Isis-1 probe was also limited to accompanying surveillance, and by the way, a large number of precious images of the Aramco lunar probe running away were taken.

It's just that the staff of JPL almost thought it was an alien invasion, and they were in a hurry for a while.

The meeting took place 380,000 kilometers away from the world, and neither side disclosed any information to the outside world, and only a few people knew that such an interesting incident had happened.

Of course, not a fun thing for some people.

"We're going to build walls that can't be climbed to stop illegal immigration, yes, Mexico, and the entire border is thousands of kilometers ......."

John's formal submission of the border wall he claimed before taking office into a formal bill to Congress is obviously going to cause quite a stir, but it doesn't matter to his other arrangements.

The big mess now is that he is trying to apply to the United Nations for developing country status and asking allies to fund Aramco's overseas spending or break the treaty......

Even Piot is a real sycophant who can see the impact of these measures, and he is under pressure from all sides on a daily basis.

On the contrary, John is generally continuing the previous plan's plan in aerospace, although he has been talking about it again and again, he has never dared to officially carry out the God of War Ares plan, which is relatively cautious.

But the fact that Isis 1 was molested still made him furious, openly tweeting @NACA and companies such as Blue Origin, SpecaX, and Boeing asking them to launch more than five lunar rovers to the moon within six months......

Then, after several tweets criticizing NACA's redundancy and inaction on the part of officials, he was content to drop his phone and ask his staff.

"NACA is now preparing to secretly carry out its plan to go to the moon first, is it possible that we will succeed?"

A group of staff members stared at each other, some of them were engaged in the economy, some were engaged in palace fighting, although some of them were from engineering and technical backgrounds, but they couldn't answer this question.

Pio: "Boss, you have to believe in the depth of the United States, we are moving faster than ever before, faster and safer than the Apollo program, and our astronauts are all ready. ”

John: "I mean, CASA won't find out and can't catch up?" ”

Piot: "......"

"Your Excellency, this is difficult, but we can strengthen the secrecy measures."

……

Capital.

"NACA has sent additional engineers to Blue Origin to support him, is Jeff Bezos the NACA Director's own son? Such hard support? ”

The daily tea party of the Aviation Development Commission is held 30 minutes before work every afternoon, so that the work is not delayed and the information can be summarized in a timely manner.

Academician She started talking about the recent situation of Blue Origin, and someone immediately replied:

"I think they can't stand the inefficiency and unreliability of Blue Origin, the BE-7 can be as simple as the engine can fail, I remember the 'Constellation' program when the engine was successfully tested, right?

If you want me to say, it's commercial aerospace...... Ahem, Bezos used the Internet to make rockets, and the chair broke and damaged the tail vertebrae, and NACA may also be afraid of delays. ”

"But this support battle is too big, you look at the report in Florida, the deputy director came with more than 20 backbones, and he can do it independently. Hey, it's up to us to get the lander out half a year in advance. ”

"Our 'Full Moon' is not only a few dozen people, but the core team of more than 100 people is just rushing to pile it up! What if they are half a year in advance, the rocket can't wait, the 'Blue Moon' needs at least two heavy Falcon or two SLS to land on the moon, and the rocket alone is enough for them to die......"

A certain expert's slightly mocking words caused a burst of laughter, the "Full Moon" is a split lander, and the maximum weight is only twenty-three tons, which is indeed not large, and it is not as advanced as the HLS integrated type, but the purpose of the Dawning Project is for time, and it is understandable to be conservative.

Moreover, the more advanced integrated lander entered the development stage as early as the end of the 'full moon' design work, and it was an open tender by the Aviation Development Commission, so the indicators were definitely better.

But the big guy who had been holding the flower tea suddenly said: "Is it possible that NACA is crazy to prepare for Artemis II to go to the moon?" The same is around the moon. ”

Academician She immediately shook his head: "This is not an Apollo spacecraft, the lander and the spacecraft were launched separately." ”

Big Guy: "And what if they launch now?" ”

Academician She: "Then unless you take all the Falcon 9s of SpecaX and fight the heavy Falcon, it won't work, and besides, their lander has not been landed, although the Apollo program has not been there, but it has also been tested in space several times before landing on the moon." ”

The big guy picked up the teacup again and didn't speak, and sat there with a thoughtful expression.

The topic of Aramco aerospace ended, and the center of gravity shifted to China.

Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Ju, who was in a state of seclusion, and the latter smiled and took out the tablet to show the good news from the base.

Press the power button and a bunch of numbers and text appear on the screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the YM-12 has been debugged and is forging the main structure of the full-scale test prototype of the Tengyun Project, which is the final data."

Although the basic technical indicators of Tengyun Engineering have been set last year, it is only an outlook, and various difficulties will definitely be encountered when it actually enters the research and development stage, so the indicators will also change, which is normal.

However, the Tengyun Project has begun to forge the body, which means that the actual indicators have almost been determined, and the final result will not be too bad.

Everyone hurriedly crossed the tablet, and the first person they saw was Academician She, who lowered his head and read it quickly, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The maximum take-off mass is 190 tons, the empty weight is 49 tons, the mass in orbit is 62 tons, and the maximum speed of atmospheric flight is Mach 10.8.

The empty weight is almost the same as the original imaginary scheme, and other indicators have even been slightly improved, but the design is different.

In order to reduce the weight as much as possible, the future Tengyun must be divided into two versions: the pure passenger version can fit 20 people, and the cargo version can fit 2 pilots and 2.8 tons of cargo.

Why does the cargo version have a lower load capacity? Because the cargo compartment is located close to the nose of the aircraft, it is destined to have a limited range of play and the hatch must be placed, and 2.8 tons of cargo is already the maximum capacity.

Of course, the most important is the estimated cost of the flight.

The bulk of the fuel is still low-temperature, and the skin that is most worried has greatly reduced maintenance costs due to the use of specialized state-of-the-art insulation materials, and the maintenance cost of a flight (not counting personnel and ground crew) is just over a million.
