This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 139 1 days!
Hearing the yelling of the technicians, Emmaron and the others immediately looked at the data, and then saw a scene that left them stunned.

On the data star chart, they saw that the target code of this monitoring mission left the earth's orbit at a very fast speed, and the parabola representing the flight trajectory was also expanding and the arc was getting smaller and smaller.

This means that "a certain type" of rockets is constantly accelerating, as if it has an inexhaustible supply of fuel.

In fact, don't say they were stunned, even the melon-eating audience knew how powerful this thing was.

First of all, this "certain type" rocket did enter orbit with a single stage. They watched it fly higher and faster, and the speed became faster and faster. After finally reaching the predetermined altitude and speed, the two satellites were released.

"Star Arrow Separation!"

When the password was issued, the command hall immediately burst into applause.

After that, the two satellites separated, then deployed their own solar panels, and flew to their respective predetermined positions.

At this point, the launch mission was a complete success, and even the traditional big red screen was sent.

[Warm congratulations to a certain type of carrier rocket for launching the No. 1 and No. 2 satellites of the Constellation series on a complete success! 】

The satellite launch center used a "certain model", which made it clear that it was an experimental arrow without a name.

From the audience's point of view, the launch mission and test mission were completed, and they also sent blessings on the bullet screen, but they were surprised that the live broadcast was not turned off, and the mission monitoring was resumed after the big red screen in the command hall was lit. The picture, but this time it is no longer the picture of the earth, but replaced by the picture of the earth-moon system.

And the trajectory of the "certain model" rocket was also thrown towards the moon.

This is going to... the moon?
The audience is not as ignorant as it was at the beginning. After knowing that a certain type of rocket entered orbit with a single stage, many senior enthusiasts did science popularization on the barrage, and many people searched on search engines. Search, know a lot of things.

In addition to the guesses of "professionals", the launch mass of a certain type of rocket is at most 35 tons.

Such a light and small rocket is still fueled by solid fuel. If it is divided into many stages as before, it can transport a load of about 300 kilograms to low-Earth orbit, and it will not be able to touch the moon at all.

But now a certain type of rocket not only dragged a heavy body into orbit on a single stage, but also carried at least 1.4 tons of load to low-Earth orbit, and turned around and flew to the moon.

Is this reasonable?

And the audience also looked at the camera inside the fairing before. There should be no other payloads except for the two satellites. What are you doing flying to the moon at this time?
"It should be a test, to test the limits of this new type of solid fuel."

"Well, this reminds me of the previous Super Dongfeng 15 missile. Originally, it could only fly six to seven hundred kilometers, but in the end, it flew less than [-] kilometers without changing its shape. It shocked the whole world at that time."

"Then this certain type of rocket should also use that kind of solid fuel, so it means... It can't be used on the earth, so it's going to play in the universe?"

"Probably, I can't think of anything else."

"Hiss, this is awesome!"

"Wow, if it succeeds, can our manned moon landing mission rely on it?"

"Probably not. The rockets that seem to be related to the manned moon landing in our country are the new generation manned rocket and the Long March 9 rocket. These two types of rockets do not have solid fuel boosters, they are all pure liquid fuel Rocket."

"Hey, how did I see a model of Long March 9 with two or four solid boosters?"

"Good guy, if the Long March 9 carries two big solid boosters, wouldn't it crash with the Federation's SLS rocket?"

"It's actually hard to say, because the official has not determined the specific configuration of Long March 9."

As they talked, the content of the audience's chats turned to the manned moon landing, but they quickly returned to the current problem. Finally, someone found that the flying speed of a certain type of rocket on the screen in the command hall was not right, as if it had been flying accelerate.

This posture does seem to be testing the limits of new solid fuels, but this kind of situation does not care about fuel consumption, can the rocket really fly to the moon?

Someone started counting.

However, the speed of the rocket has been increasing, so everyone's calculated data is different, and the live broadcast is not a human being, and it was turned off after a period of time.

Then he said: [Please continue to pay attention to Fanxing Space Agency for follow-up news. 】

"This is so..."

Of course, many netizens are too idle to watch...then guess!

Guess whether the rocket can reach the moon?
If so, how long will it take?
After arriving, will it fly by, or slow down and enter the lunar orbit?
Many people are very interested in "how long will it take to fly to the moon", because many people are counting when the live broadcast is not closed.

In fact, different lunar probes arrive at the moon at different times.

The closest distance between the earth and the moon is about 36 kilometers, and the farthest is about 40 kilometers. However, manned spacecraft or lunar probes launched from the earth will not travel in a straight line, but fly to the moon in a large elliptical orbit.

Man's first lunar probe was Lao Maozi's "Moon-1". It flew directly from the earth to the moon and flew by nearly 6000 kilometers above the moon. It did not slow down and entered the lunar orbit, so it took less than 2 days to fly near the moon.

首个携航天员登上月球的“阿波罗11号”飞船发射后先进入环绕地球飞行的停泊轨道，然后再经过70多小时的地月飞行后进入月球轨道，并且在发射后80小时11分进行环月飞行，102小时45分2名宇航员驾驶登月舱在月球表面着陆。

Therefore, it took more than 4 days for the Apollo spacecraft to go from rocket igniting to landing on the moon, and it took more than 3 days just to fly.

It takes the longest time to reach the moon to be the "Wisdom-1" lunar probe of the Europa Space Agency. It uses an advanced technology called an ion propulsion system. It took one year and two months to enter the orbit around the moon.

The starry Chang'e [-] to [-] probes entered the lunar orbit in three or four days as fast as possible, and entered the lunar orbit in a slow ten days.

Some even considered walking to the moon.

Then, based on the average distance between the earth and the moon of 38.4 kilometers, an adult can walk about 1 kilometers per hour at a moderate speed. Calculated according to working hours every day, walking for eight hours is 4 kilometers.

In this way, it will take 12110 days, about 365 days a year, and it will take about 33 years.

In fact, the speed of the spacecraft launched to the moon can be very fast, even exceeding the third cosmic speed, but it is very difficult to brake after reaching the vicinity of the moon. The braking distance is very long, and more brake fuel is consumed, which will outweigh the gain. Therefore, an appropriate speed is the most economical and efficient.

Of course, it takes a little longer.

And what about "a certain model" of rocket?

It only takes 1 day!
This is due to its "persistent" performance.

Generally, when the lunar probe flies to the moon, the rocket has been thrown away. In the end, only the "little tip" on the top of the rocket is left, which carries limited fuel.

But a certain type of rocket is different. It lost the "little tip", and then the whole rocket flew towards the moon.

It doesn't have much fuel. If it really has no choice but to go to Mars, it has to take an "economical and applicable orbit". Facing the flight time of more than half a year, it can shorten it by one month at most.

But inside the Earth-Moon system, it can do whatever it wants!
