Chapter 458 The Soviet Union’s N-1 launch vehicle and NAA’s plan

NASA.

Intense work is going on, because if there are no accidents, the first lunar exploration journey in human history will begin next year.

The first trip to the moon is just an attempt, but once the establishment of a feasible lunar base to the moon is verified, it will be put on the agenda - and this will become a hugely expensive, unique and largest one in history.

project.

Such a plan was called "Operation Copernicus" by NAA.

To send a manned spacecraft to the moon, the rocket needs to be capable of sending a spacecraft of about 100 tons into low-Earth orbit. According to a mass ratio of 1:30, this requires a total rocket weight of about 3,000 tons.

In other words, if you want to build a base on the moon, the price you need to pay is very difficult.

Therefore, NAA must ensure the reliability of the moon landing.

At the same time, the existence of the lunar base must also be completely reliable and self-sufficient.

Rather than carrying out a lot of repair work on this base in the future, it is better to completely build the base from the beginning.

This is the most important thing.

One issuance means that tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars are thrown away. If you need to continue to pay for some plans at a later stage, it will be a scam.

A lunar base should be a boost to the Americans, not a tasteless and neglected underbelly, or a completely useless money-making machine.

From energy sources to the establishment of bases, NAA even referred to the Soviet Union's N-1 launch vehicle and a series of stones that Gagarin was sent into outer space before.

The N-1 launch vehicle is a rocket developed by the Soviet Union to send Soviet astronauts to the moon. In Europe and the United States, it is more commonly known as the G-1e or L-15 rocket. The size of the N1 launch vehicle is second only to that of the United States.

NASA's Saturn V, and the N-1 launch vehicle is most famous for its densely packed shower-head "butt" that is enough for 30 first-stage engines. This is somewhat different from the Saturn V.

Oddly, the Soviets never conducted ground tests on all 30 first-stage engines, possibly due to time constraints and lack of funds.

Historically, the world's largest rocket has carried out a total of four launches without any prior testing or testing, and the eight scheduled test launches were also canceled. However, the N-1 rocket eventually became the later version after technical improvements.

The "Energy" rocket.

The N-1 rocket exploded in four launches from 1969 to 1972. In addition to the N-1, the former Soviet Union had other heavy-lift launch vehicles.

The two models of the "Proton" rocket, D-1e and D-1e, completed the mission of launching the lunar probe this year. The D-1 rocket will complete the mission of launching the "Salyut 1" space station in 1971. However, neither rocket has reached n

-1 The height of the rocket.

If history remains unchanged, Russia will still use "Proton" rockets and smaller "Soyuz" rockets to launch satellites in the future.

The Soviets' persistent research on the N-1 launch vehicle also interested NASA, which was preparing to land on the moon. Of course, this was because these people did not know the history.

——It was precisely because of the repeated failures of the N-1 that the Soviet dream of landing on the moon was shattered. Of course, the stinginess of Brezhnev, or the officials of the Soviet Communist Party, was also the reason why this dream was blocked.

These corrupted high-level officials were the fundamental reason for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. They would rather be more greedy than make greater sacrifices for the country. In history, Yeltsin was able to use 1.5 billion to bribe the army to suppress the Red Square, which prevented

The Soviet people saved themselves, but then relied on completely draining the Russian economy to support themselves and a group of oligarchs. This is a good proof.

These Russians never care what other people think, they only consider their own interests.

If the N-1 launch vehicle can have enough funds, research time, etc., it may be able to successfully jump into space, but after all, there is a gap between the facts and reality...

The engineers in the Soviet Union who designed and built the lunar landing spacecraft must have known the risks they took. Looking back at the hardware manufacturing process, development process, and expenditure, no one can doubt the skills and superhuman courage of the astronauts, but there is no doubt that

, the courage of these people was ruined by the top leaders of the Soviet Union.

For example, on October 23, 1960, when the Soviet Union's Venus carrier rocket was launched, the engine did not ignite as ordered. In order to find out the fault, dozens of experts approached the rocket - in order to rush for time - and directly added fuel to the rocket.

Welding next to the fuel tank...

The final result was that suddenly, the rocket engine erupted into flames and then exploded, killing nearly a hundred soldiers and scientists.

That attempt was a farce that arose because Khrushchev was going to visit the United States and the military was asked to intimidate the U.S. military a little when he arrived. The rocket developers were cornered and took risks. In fact, this incident

It was also a reason for Khrushchev's downfall.

But now, things have changed slightly. After Brezhnev played Mí, he seemed to have become interested in science fiction things.

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.

Funding for n-1 has still been supplemented, and many research reports on n-1 that have never appeared in history have begun to appear. Although subjectively this is just a move to please Bertrand, objectively, it does make the current

n-1 of them can be improved.

Even NASA seems to be able to gain some experience from it.

However, neither CIA nor NA can obtain detailed information on this aspect, so studying Soviet things can only be used as a simple reference and cannot be used as an example.

——After all, the current N-1 launch vehicle has never taken off.

No one knows what the future will hold.

In fact, NASA originally decided to start the lunar exploration trip in 1970, because at that time, it could use the most advanced supercomputers to simulate the plan. At that time, the success rate would be even greater.

But after learning that the Soviets were about to launch the N-1 launch vehicle plan in 1969, NAA decided to risk everything. No matter what, they would launch the spacecraft into space first and establish a lunar base before talking about other things.

At 110 meters tall, the Saturn V is the most powerful rocket ever built - and the world's largest rocket until the 21st century, never surpassed - with a total weight of 3 million kilograms when fully fueled.

It can send a payload of up to 45 tons to the moon or a payload of 120 tons to Earth orbit.

In other words, Americans can send up to 45 tons of materials to the moon at one time, so how to use these materials to build a base is something that must be discussed clearly.

After all, there is a nearly vacuum moon there, and dangers exist at any time, and it cannot be solved by simply building a wooden house.

No matter what, NASA has been doing its best to conduct manufacturing research for the moon above them.

There is no Zhu Yue or True Ancestor in this world, and the moon above is just an ordinary satellite.

But even such a satellite has been an existence that humans have longed for since ancient times. From Chang'e's flight to the moon to humans understanding for the first time that the legend of the moon is just a beautiful fantasy, humans have never stopped exploring this satellite.

, even in the 21st century, this satellite is still a mysterious existence.

Of course, for now, the most important position of the moon is one of the key points in the current struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony...

…

When Catherine woke up, it was already dawn the next day. Due to the size of her buttocks, Catherine had no pajamas available for the time being. Because there was a slight gap between Jenny's and Catherine's sizes, Catherine wore her pajamas.

When I was having sex, my vagina would be very tight, so Catherine just stripped off and laid on it overnight.

Needless to say, sleeping like this is quite comfortable. At least Catherine felt comfortable last night.

After getting dressed, Catherine got up and got ready to wash up.

Although the people Jenny usually interacts with belong to the upper class, Jenny obviously does not have a luxurious life like the upper class. Even though she has a villa, in fact it is still simple here.

Although it is not like the upper class, when attending parties or something, the necessary restraint is still necessary.

If it is like the protagonist in some people's works, he expresses his disinterest in the banquet in a few sentences, and then eats and drinks all kinds of things at the banquet, pretending to be disgusting... In short, this kind of person is "not pretending to be bi"

"Comfortable Sky", when everyone else couldn't bear this person anymore, and then they all cast contemptuous glances at him, at this time, this person arrogantly revealed his identity, showed off his muscles and completely crushed the banquet.

Let the master's hard work go to waste...

This magical creature named "Protagonist" is completely a kind of scum among scum who doesn't care what others think and is only self-centered.

"Phew, I slept really well yesterday."

After Catherine saw Elsa, she first sighed in admiration.

"Kate, what should we do next?" Elsa suggested: "Look, the rain hasn't stopped yet."

"Let's stay for two more days. There's nothing important anyway."

There are still more than ten days left before Christmas. All we need to do is hire a few construction workers to make a surprise attack and it will be done.

Catherine has decided that if she really can't figure it out in the end, she will just buy a Christmas tree and then decorate it the same way...

…

The second update is completed...

I can't bear it anymore, so I go to sleep...I've been exhausted these past few days...f@.
