Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

NASA.

Satellite Control Center.

In front of the horseshoe-shaped console, there was a dark silhouette. Among them are engineers from NASA, officials from the White House and Congress, and professionals from Space-X and Blue Space, among other well-known North American aerospace companies.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite depressing, and a pair of sights converged into a single point on the large screen on the console.

Everyone looked at the same place, as if waiting for a result.

Three days ago, carrying the core module of the Yuegong space station, Huaguo Xiangrui took off again, successfully breaking through the atmosphere and entering low-Earth orbit.

The sight of almost all space agencies around the world is condensed on this spaceplane to the moon.

If this launch plan is successful, China will become the first country in the world to put a space station on the moon orbit, and it will also be the only country in the world that has been proven to have moon orbit construction capabilities.

For the United States, this is obviously not good news.

Not surprisingly, their "Deep Space Gate" lunar orbiting space station will have to wait until next year to begin the launch of the first formation. Although the success of the Ares project has put them ahead of the Mars colonization plan, but if so Losing the moon seems to be a little more than worth it.

Since three days ago, NASA's lens for the moon observation satellite has been locked at the exit of the Earth-moon transfer orbit, waiting for the spacecraft that has left synchronous orbit for a long time to appear in the lens again.

If nothing else, today should be the time when Xiangrui reached the moon orbit ...

Haze stared at the large screen on the console, and Director Carson with his hands behind him stood there for a long time, and suddenly looked at the watch with some impatience, and said.

"Haven't appeared yet?"

Standing next to Director Carson, the director of the satellite control center Bill opened the folder in his hand and quickly reported to him.

"According to our calculations and analysis, they have about ten minutes to reach the lunar orbit ... Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that they have not used the traditional earth-moon transfer orbit and cut into the lunar orbit in other ways.

Here Bill looked at Director Carson with a subtle expression and continued.

"... If that is the case, we need to have more accurate data on the height of the moon to make an accurate observation of their spacecraft."

Chief Carson slapped his lips.

"... you can call the China National Space Administration, and maybe they will tell you."

The director of the satellite control center, Bill, had a slight faint voice, and his face had a subtle embarrassment. Standing not far from Director Carson, the president glanced at his watch impatiently and said.

"... We can't wait here endlessly, maybe you can give me a more accurate time next time."

Director Carson: "Please don't worry, my President, whether the situation is optimistic or not, we can see the results in a maximum of two hours ..."

If he could, of course, he hoped that the **** aerospace plane would never be the best. It's better like a comet out of control, disappearing forever at the end of the Earth-Moon system ...

NASA needs an opponent who is behind them, not a player who is half a step ahead of them. No matter in which field they are, they must do their best. This is not only a glory, but also a **** politics. Correct governance.

However, Carson also knew that his expectations were beyond even a luxury.

The auspicious auspicious aeroplane, which has been successful on the manned landing on the moon, can't even do simple things like delivering satellites.

Sure enough, it seemed as if he had confirmed his guess. At the moment when the needle was on the right hand, a burst of panic came from the console.

A NASA engineer below the screen of a station suddenly pointed at somewhere on the screen and yelled uncontrollably.

"It's Xiangrui! I see it!"

Looking in the direction the engineer was pointing, Director Carson's pupils shrank to a point.

Appeared!

It's Xiangrui!

...

Above the moon, a dark night was cut through the cold silence by a little arc of light.

A bright silver air-space plane, like a silver shuttle from deep space, smoothly completed the orbital switch and slowly merged into the 127-minute orbit.

All operations are done in one go, without any clutter.

Staring at the craggy moon surface, a smile hangs in the corner of Nie Yun's mouth sitting in the driver's seat, and his thoughts are in the air.

Back here again ...

I remember the last time I came here, it was two or three months ago.

No matter how many times he looked at such a beautiful scene, he couldn't help but be enchanted.

The only regret is that this time he could not stand on the gray land.

However, he believes that in the not too distant future, there will be a day when a trip to the moon will be as common as taking a flight across the ocean.

By that time, the little wish in his heart may not be a wish at all.

Reaching out and pressing on the helmet, Nie Yun said with a clear voice.

"... Here is the Xiangrui, we have successfully entered the rail."

After a short pause, a noise came from the communication channel.

"... This is the ground command center. I'm glad to hear that your flight mission has been half successful ... now, please immediately go to the designated airspace and prepare for the next stage."

"Roger that!"

Reaching out and pressing on the control panel, Nie Yun switched the flight mode from the orbit change mode to the automatic cruise mode, and skillfully opened the door pressure measurement system.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Nie Yan confirmed the data between the plane and the moon on the rangefinder, and said in a chatty tone.

"The orbit altitude is normal, and we are approaching the target area ... maybe we can move a little faster, if the situation is optimistic, we may be able to catch the test flight of the Xiaguang."

After hearing her words, Nie Yun smiled and said, "Don't think about it, the test pilots have already decided, they are two guys in the space group."

Nie Yan sighed with regret, "Really? That's really regrettable."

It is said that the Xiaguang has a dual-wing design, and four of the five engines can control the direction of injection at a large angle. This new type of aircraft will be able to complete the flight from the ground surface to the orbital section in a safer way with lower loss of working fluid.

Such an aircraft must be more interesting to drive than the Xiangrui.

Nie Yun: "It's nothing to regret. We have other test flights. I promise you will be interested."

Nie Yun: "What test mission?"

Nie Yun said with a smile: "Your old bank, drive a transport plane ... to and fro between the Earth-moon orbit and the geosynchronous orbit."

Some time ago, he heard that Xingkong Technology was considering the use of the auspicious propulsion system to develop an interplanetary electric propulsion spacecraft that could be transferred from earth to moon and back to the fast shuttle.

If this research is successful, it may not be long before Xiangrui will withdraw from the stage of history.

At least, withdraw from civilian launch missions.

Nie Yan rolled his eyes: "I would rather fly the Xiangrui. I applied for this mission because I was tired of driving a transport plane."

Nie Yun joked easily, "Isn't it because you can fly higher?"

Nie Yun: "Both of them ... we're here!"

The two had reached the target area while talking.

The flight path is gradually deviating from the 127-minute orbit and entering an elliptical orbit.

This is the best place to put a moon satellite. Under the combined effect of the earth, the sun, and the gravity of the moon, the core module operating in this orbit can be maintained for up to 36 months without the help of a propulsion system Stable operation.

And with the help of the propulsion system, only a small amount of working fluid and energy are needed to maintain the space station for decades and stay in this quiet orbit ...

After confirming the orbital parameters and restraining the excitement in his heart, Nie Yun took a deep breath, put his hand on the side of the helmet, and spoke with a steady and firm voice.

"Here is the Xiangrui. We have reached the space station's orbit."

Not long after, orders from the ground command came.

"... Activate the cargo hold!"

"Received," Nie Yun in the co-pilot exchanged a firm look. He reached out and lifted the cargo bay safety barrier ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and then pressed the red pop-up button.

"The cargo bay is being opened!"

A slight muffled sound floated along the soles of the feet, accompanied by a slow shaking, the silver-white cylindrical spacecraft was thrown into the deep space behind by Xiangrui ...

Looking at the four green words [Separation Successful] popping up on the screen, Nie Yun said with an excited voice.

"Cargo compartment started successfully!"

"The Moon Palace successfully entered the scheduled orbit!"

"We succeeded!"

(The new January is starting again. I ’m asking for a monthly pass ~~~ Hey, I ’m so excited. I ’m going skydiving tomorrow. It is said that there are 13,000 feet. I just do n’t know if I can fly so high. In short, this is for the material! The insurance has been bought Good luck guys!)
