Zhou Qingfeng has a best friend.

The QQ nickname of the altar friend that day is "all the way to the scenery", first the gender is female, in her thirties, and she is a rare female flying friend.

She is very good at chatting, can discuss almost any topic with Zhou Qingfeng, and many views are the same as Zhou Qingfeng, so that the first thing the latter does after school every day is to chat with this understanding big sister.

After a few days, Zhou Qingfeng felt that he had met a particularly intellectual beauty - there were many selfies taken during travel in her space, although she couldn't see her face with glasses or a mask, she could also feel very beautiful.

Whether it is the style of chatting like a spring breeze in "all the way" or the behavior of often giving Zhou Qingfeng QQ small gifts, Zhou Qingfeng feels that he has found the best person to talk to, and soon became a good friend who talks about everything.

Zhou Rui didn't notice this, in his opinion, Zhou Qingfeng was still addicted to the forum, and he didn't care about it after a few reprimands occasionally.

"SpecaX completes the first manned flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft."

"Musk has set a date for his flight plan to be implemented."

"Two Rich Men in Space Tell the Wonderful Feeling of Weightlessness."

"Sources claim that the Dragon spacecraft may dock with the 'Vienna' space hotel to provide more diversified space tourism services."

“……”

On April 15, at the launch base of Cape Calavral, a Falcon 9 carried a Crew Dragon spacecraft and successfully sent four astronauts into space.

The Falcon 9 that launched the spacecraft was successfully recovered through the offshore recovery platform, and SpecaX completed its first reusable manned flight, which has become a hot topic in the space industry these days.

In particular, the black and white color scheme of the spacesuit worn by the astronauts of the Dragon spacecraft is very different, and it does look very "sci-fi".

Also on the same day, Bloomberg, citing sources, revealed the timing of the listing of the Oriental International Space Hotel Company, as well as saying that the Vienna Space Hotel may be open to the outside world for cooperation.

As we all know, the Vienna Space Hotel is the first fully commercial space capsule to operate together with the Tiangong space station.

The Vienna Space Hotel has only one docking interface and no node module, and if the Dragon spacecraft wants to dock with "Vienna", it must dock with the Tiangong space station, which means that the Aramco spacecraft will dock with the Huaguo space station.

As soon as this news came out, many people did not believe it, after all, intuitively it was impossible.

However, the subtle thing is that SpecaX did not respond to this, but the Aviation Development Commission said:

"The Vienna Space Hotel and its docked 'Cloud Palace' space capsule are now in a state of commercial operation, but docked on the Tiangong space station, and the ownership rights belong to the commercial operator, and all business activities are not interfered with by other factors."

Although it is not explicitly stated, there is no opposition to it.

The people who eat melons are suspicious, but Bloomberg is obviously not a three-media streamer, and there is naturally a reason for them to speak.

Preparations for the IPO of Orient International Space Hotel Company are nearing completion, and all major shareholders have reached an agreement, including NACA and ...... Hexagon.

Orient International is an international company, and its listing is also on NASDAQ, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is trying to make money by speculating on the concept.

The two modules operated by the company are actually leased from Alenia Aerospace and Xinyuan Aerospace Power, which is actually an empty shell, and naturally there are no sensitive points that can be sanctioned.

Now the company's operating collective is the Belmond Group, and they directly let NACA and the Hexagon get a 10% stake, and then the Senate defines Orient International as "a private space tourism company that is completely international", which can be used to all customers around the world without a lot of trouble.

However, the Aramco hexagonal side is still a little dissatisfied, hoping to give some of the launch sources of tourists to "international contractors", that is, space companies in which they have shares, but there is no negotiation yet.

Bloomberg's operation is to blow the wind in advance and see how it reacts.

As an opponent in the space field, it's normal to work together to run a space hotel, isn't it?

Fang Lin, Zhang Zhiguang, Ding Jihua; Meet at the training center in 30 minutes! ”

"Yes!"

At the 507 Institute, an Air Force officer found the three astronauts who were training and asked them to pack their bags and prepare for departure.

The rest of the astronauts who were training also paused, and looked enviously at the three who had left.

As partners who get along day and night, they know that the three of them are going to parachute emergency training, which is usually for newcomers or astronauts who are about to perform important tasks.

Fang Lin and Ding Jihua each have two flight experiences, not to mention Zhang Zhiguang, who is an aerospace hero, with 9 flight experiences, which is a real veteran.

Moreover, Zhang Zhiguang is still a member of the H2M No. 1 crew, but he returned to the capital after the first flight mission and began to cooperate with the other two people in training.

Obviously, they are the three astronauts of the Dawning 3 mission, and it is the Dawning 4 crew that gives them backups.

Zhang Zhiguang was a little surprised when he knew that he was selected as the commander, and at the same time he was a little excited and disappointed.

I was excited to be able to get close to the moon, but I was disappointed that the No. 4 landing mission was definitely not my own, and I missed the opportunity to be the first person to land on the moon in my country.

But as an astronaut with a wealth of experience in getting out of the capsule and flying, he is still very conscientious to complete the training mission, even if it is very happy to just fly around the moon.

And the Dawning 3 mission is also more special, that is, it will conduct a sea recovery test.

The Dawning spacecraft adopts dual deceleration of airbags and parachutes, and has dual recovery functions at sea and on land.

Compared with land-based recovery, sea recovery is more buffered and has a greater allowable descent speed, but it also increases the difficulty of search and rescue compared to land, and overall has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The Dawning spacecraft gives priority to land recovery, but Dawning-3 will carry out a sea recovery, which is an experience that Zhang Zhiguang has never experienced.

Now they are about to go to the expected landing area of the South China Sea to conduct helicopter simulated search and rescue training.

"Brother Zhang, have you been trained in sea recovery before?"

It was Fang Lin who asked Zhang Zhiguang, who was only in his thirties and was a payload specialist astronaut — or a civil engineering major at Beijing Airlines.

Zhang Zhiguang: "Yes, the Shenzhou spacecraft has also considered an emergency landing at sea, and there is also a set of emergency rescue devices in it, which were used by professional astronauts in previous periods, but when they arrived at you, they were carried out in the lake, not in the sea." ”

Fang Lin: "Hey, I really want to go to the moon, I proposed a plan to build a permanent residence on the moon surface, but unfortunately it can't be near the Qom impact crater." ”

Zhang Zhiguang: "Space weapons bombarded that?" I think that's a little too sci-fi. ”
