"The 21st century is an era of rapid changes and rapid development, and space is the most important issue in the 21st century.

——Media excerpt from the opening speech of the Huayin Conference.

This phrase, along with the CBS news headline, "Two rockets, two skies, one moon," became a popular phrase in early July.

Not to be outdone, John said that he would convene a joint meeting on international space cooperation and planetary defense on July 4, about the time Artemis II arrives on the moon for a landing mission, and invite all Artemis program members and all allies to attend.

The conference will be held near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and is expected to run until July 20.

Using a state to benchmark a county-level city fully illustrates the importance that John attaches to the Huayin Treaty Organization.

And the North Carolina conference is expected to have more than 27 members, twice as many as the members of the Waryin Treaty Organization.

"This North Carolina conference? What is its purpose? ”

Qiongzhou, Academician She sincerely expressed his doubts.

Lin Ju shook his head, John really wanted to come out one by one, if it was against the Huayin Treaty, so many organizational agreements they signed were completely enough.

To tell the truth, he is not optimistic about the Huayin Treaty, only four of the twelve members have aerospace technology, three of them have independent launch capabilities, two have manned transportation means, one has the ability to launch large-scale space, and the remaining eight are half of money bags and half of them are pits.

But...... In any case, it was the first step.

On the surface, public opinion around the world is now in a state of euphoria.

Although the second space race has actually arrived, there has not been a-for-tat Cold War, on the contrary, global trade is still rising, economists are very optimistic about the future trend, and the space competition seems to be peaceful competition.

It has been 24 hours since the launch of the two rockets, and CCTV took the lead in counting the domestic ratings data:

The ratings are 45%, the cumulative number of viewers is more than 1.12 billion, the video network platform is over 800 million (including repeat users), and it is estimated that the number of viewers of the global reposted live broadcast exceeds 2 billion, of which Asia accounts for the majority, especially in Korea, island countries and Southeast Asia, and the ratings of Korea and island countries even exceed those in China (?). ）。

The global viewing data released by Artemis II also exceeded 2 billion, and the highest number of simultaneous live online viewers on YouTube exceeded 24 million (NSF retweet channel), setting a new historical record.

Even though Bloomberg published a sensational report that "NACA has lost the moon", there was not much reaction from the public.

The interval between the launch of the Long March 10 Yao-3 and the SLS was less than 30 minutes, and when it entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit, it was reported almost simultaneously, so it is not too much to use simultaneous departure.

Now people all over the world are curious: which spacecraft astronaut landed first in the first footprint of the new century?

According to the public content media, it is speculated that the first person to get off the lander on Dawning No. 3 is Zhang Zhiguang, Artemis No. 2 should be a black Victor, and there are already gambling sites on the Internet to open bets, and hundreds of millions of funds have been absorbed in just one day.

Before the landing phase began, the attitude of the population was unanimous: celebrate.

The base has received a message from the Rongcheng Air Force that Hushan Airport is temporarily grounded or restricted from flying areas, because fireworks may suddenly rise from the ground day or night, which is fatal for most low-flying propeller aircraft.

In July of the year, the nation's fireworks market flourished with the Aurora No. 3 belt, and it is said that all major urban areas have set up additional checkpoints at major entrances and exits, and almost half of the probability of being able to turn out the fireworks carried by private cars entering the city can be turned out of the trunk of a private car.

The flight show that the flight school originally planned to organize was also postponed due to this hidden danger, and now it is tentatively scheduled to be after the successful moon landing.

Ami's side also has the momentum to restore the spirit of the last century, and the nervous chase of the previous year has been temporarily put down, and the general public thinks that the launch of Artemis II will bring them back to the peak of the last century-?

Although everything went normally during the launch phase of Artemis II, the world's space flight could see the haste and confusion of changing the launch plan many times.

Out of humanitarianism, the big guy asked Lin Ju to speak out and take a preventive shot in advance, occupying the moral high ground in advance: It's you who think you have to compare, don't rely on us if you have an accident.

After the launch of Dawn 3, the Aviation Development Commission urgently analyzed the Artemis 2 mission and found many suspicious points.

First of all, from the public leakage source, the "Blue Moon" lander had frequent failures during the development of the first half of the year, and even the small thrust BE-7 engine had a serious accident such as stopping, and there is evidence that its configuration has been greatly changed in order to be able to launch the heavy Falcon , and the overall center of gravity has changed greatly.

In just two or three months, it has gone from the problematic verification stage to a stable formal machine manufacturing process?

The second is the in-orbit fuel filling technology, which is more than 20 tons of fuel, and the technical difficulty of the requirements will also rise significantly, how long did it take Raytheon to develop that fuel tank?

Third: Landing site survey, before the Apollo program, Aramco carried out 7 "Surveyor" unmanned soft landing programs, and the Aviation Development Commission also threw so many robots in the Qom impact crater, Aramco is just a "Isis", can it get accurate landing data?

The Aviation Development Commission has raised serious doubts about the entire landing phase, believing that the probability of an accident is extremely high.

Although the lander of the Apollo program was also not tested in real life, the development period was at least twice as long.

And if something goes wrong during the landing stage, losing control of the moon without an atmosphere is death, and no one can save it.

What would happen if Artemis II had casualties?

……

Space Center Houston.

The SLS rocket accomplished its mission, successfully sending Artemis 2 into transfer orbit even after several compressed manufacturing inspection times - although it didn't go as smoothly as the outside world would, with a few glitches in between.

The problem lies in the SRB that should not be the problem, the solid booster of the SLS rocket is an improvement from the SRB of the Space Shuttle launch system, increasing the number of combustion chambers from four to five, which can only be considered a conventional operation for a solid thruster, and the risk is not high.

It was supposed to continue burning for 126 seconds and then separate, but during yesterday's launch operation, at the 98th second of launch, the sensor of the booster shell on the right side of the rocket sent out an abnormal pressure alarm, and Claire decisively asked to abandon the two boosters in advance, so the separation time was advanced to the 110th second.

The SRB worked 16 seconds less, which means that the rocket has 16 seconds less thrust of 3,200 tons.

Fortunately, the SLS Block 1 has a lot of design redundancy, and its first stage has the potential to send more than 130 tons of payload to low earth orbit, while the Block 1 version of LEO has a capacity of only 95 tons.

After the recovery of the right SRB booster that fell in the sea, it was found that there was an obvious crack in its shell accompanied by explosion marks, if it was separated and the fuel would burn through the shell in a few seconds at night, and the direction of the flame was facing the orange tank of the core stage, then the entire SLS rocket would become a super-large firework under the combined action of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen and polybutadiene-acrylonitrile, and if the escape tower was not activated in time, the four astronauts would not even have ashes left, and would only turn into a part of the atmosphere.
