Rebirth of science and technology academic master

At 7:30 in the evening, the astronauts were ready in the lunar module, and the staff under the rocket were busy making final preparations.

Near eight o'clock in the evening, the control room of the Wenchang Launch Center began to prepare for ignition.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Fire up!"

Strong airflow spurted out from under the 'Long March 15' rocket, and the rocket soared into the sky!

"Rocket takes off! Rocket takes off!"

The people in the control room cheered.

But the successful takeoff of the rocket was just the beginning. After a brief moment of joy, everyone stared at the big screen again.

In the following time, a piece of good news reached the control room and command center.

"Rocket primary and secondary separation"

"Booster Separation"

"Throw the fairing."

"Rocket second and third stage separation"

As various parties report on the situation of the rocket, it is obvious that the fireworks scene that some people with particularly dark psychology prayed for did not appear. The 'Chang'e' spacecraft separated from the whole and entered the perigee of 205 kilometers, the apogee of 509.3 kilometers, and the period of 16 hours. Geosynchronous scheduled orbit!

This means that the link from the earth to the earth's orbit has been a complete success, and many people can't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

Soon, the spacecraft's solar panels were opened and solar power generation began to supply energy to the spacecraft.

Far away in the CNSA command center in the capital, Qin Yuanqing looked at the data gathered from all parties, as well as the video and monitoring data transmitted back by the quantum communication satellite, and nodded slightly. Everything was as he calculated, without any deviation. It was obvious that this The first manned moon landing was a good start.

Next, it will continue to accelerate, perform three orbit changes, and then enter the earth-moon orbit. Only when it safely reaches the lunar orbit and flies around the moon can the second stage of manned lunar landing be completed.

Now is not the time to be happy and joyful. We need to celebrate until the Chang'e spacecraft returns to Earth.

As long as the Chang'e spacecraft does not return to Earth safely, for Qin Yuanqing, this manned moon landing mission will be a failure.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Based on the experience of the 'Chang'e' series of detectors, the Earth-Moon migration orbit will no longer use the original 114-hour Earth-Moon orbit, because that means that the entire orbit change to the Earth-Moon migration will take ten years. It will not enter orbit around the moon until the eleventh day.

I saw that the 'Chang'e' spacecraft started its plasma engine. This plasma engine does not use controllable nuclear fusion, but uses solar power. It is not very powerful and can only provide the 'Chang'e' spacecraft with an acceleration of 0.01m/ s, this value seems insignificant, but it can increase the speed of the spacecraft by 864m/s in one day.

It originally required a 114-hour migration in the Earth-Moon migration orbit, but with this plasma engine, it only takes 4 days to complete the Earth-Moon migration.

On January 25, the 'Chang'e' spacecraft began to activate the brakes, that is, brakes. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous to fly at such a fast speed, and it would plunge into the embrace of the moon and have an intimate encounter. touch.

After a whole day of braking and slowing down, finally on the night of January 26, the speed of the 'Chang'e' spacecraft was successfully captured by the moon, and it orbited the moon along the lunar orbit. At this point, it represents the second phase of manned moon landing. A complete success.

It also means that once astronauts need it, they can apply for the Chang'e spacecraft to connect with the core module and enter the core module at any time.

"Chang'e, Chang'e, this is Jingcheng, reporting the situation!" The Jingcheng Flight Control Center immediately contacted the Chang'e spacecraft.

"Beijing, Beijing, everything is normal in the spacecraft. It is running well. The astronauts are in good health. We have just flown through the core module!" The commander of the "Chang'e" spacecraft reported the situation. With quantum communication satellites, the communication delay between the earth and the moon will not occur. It drives people crazy, and if it weren't for a pause, it wouldn't even be considered a delay.

"After two orbits around the moon, proceed to the moon landing." The flight command center in Beijing issued an order.

The reason for flying around the moon twice is to make appropriate adjustments to the orbit and to give the astronauts time to adapt.

This time, the entire manned moon landing was broadcast live.

In addition to the relatively small audience for the Earth-Moon migration, whether it was the launch or now reaching the lunar orbit, the audience is very large, and the audience is not only in China, but also in the billions of overseas audiences.

When the 'Chang'e' spacecraft arrived in lunar orbit, countless people couldn't help but cheer. Whether they were Chinese or not, they were all cheering, because at this moment, the 'Chang'e' spacecraft not only represented China, but also represented humanity. Came here again!

Since the Apollo 17 lunar mission successfully concluded its sixth lunar landing in December 1972, no one has ventured beyond Earth orbit, and no one has set foot on the moon's surface.

And now, finally, another human being has arrived in the lunar orbit and is going to land on the moon, leaving human footprints on the moon again.

Just as the Chang'e spacecraft was flying half a circle around the moon, the spacecraft played Dongfanghong and the national anthem. Dongfanghong seemed to pay tribute to China's first satellite into space, crossing time and space to tell the predecessors that after After decades of preparation, China's aerospace industry has made miraculous progress and created a miracle in the history of aerospace. Instead of being complacent, they have been moving forward bravely and bravely exploring space.

And this national anthem seems to represent that China has crossed a certain threshold, officially holding high the five-star red flag and embarking on a journey from one planet to another.

Once upon a time, 'saving the country and surviving' was the crisis faced by China and the theme of the times. Generations of people with lofty ideals came one after another and forged the birth of the Republic with their blood and lives. In less than a hundred years, China has once again stood at the top of the world's nations, and is even about to realize its long-cherished wish of flying to the moon for thousands of years.

At this moment, in every corner of the earth, all descendants of Yan and Huang could not help but burst into tears while listening to Dongfanghong and the national anthem transmitted from the lunar orbit.

There are only four words in Chinese rejuvenation, but behind these four words are twists and turns and hardships, embodying the blood, tears and sweat of countless Chinese people. If the four words "Chinese rejuvenation" have a color, it must be red!

When many people see this scene, their hearts are extremely complicated. Once upon a time, they looked down at China, and investing in China was more of a charity mentality. However, by accident, China has become the world's second largest economy, and then it is becoming the world's second largest economy. After becoming the second largest economy, it took only ten years for China to become the world's largest economy and the world's largest consumer market. Any large company losing the Chinese market would mean a sad exit.

And now, China's Chang'e spacecraft has arrived in the lunar orbit and is live broadcasting. Anyone with Internet access can watch the live broadcast.

There are even astronomy enthusiasts who have been observing the Chang'e spacecraft through high-power telescopes after it was ignited and took off to witness it personally.

In other words, China's manned moon landing is for real and absolutely true! It can’t be faked at all!

Just when the news of the 'Chang'e' spacecraft was transmitted back to the earth and caused various enthusiastic responses, the playing of Dongfanghong and the national anthem had ended. At this time, in the lunar module, the six astronauts were making final preparations. They looked at The planet outside the cabin is full of craters. Instead of the earth being full of vitality, there is only a kind of dead silence!

"Speaking of which of us will stay on the spacecraft? Who will be the first to land on the moon?" astronaut Deng Jie suddenly said.

Then as soon as he said this, Deng Jie regretted it and felt his face was a little hot. Although he did not mean to grab credit or seek fame, he always felt that he who asked this sentence was just doing this, as if he suddenly Became a villain.

"Liu Jie, let me be the first to land on the moon!" Nie Haisheng smiled gently.

Nie Haisheng flew the Shenzhou-6 mission in 2005 and the Shenzhou-10 mission in 2013 and served as the commander. In December 2019, he carried out the Shenzhou-12 mission and was also the commander. In 2021, 2022, and 2003, he carried out three missions to enter the Tiangong space station, all of which served as commander.

This time, at the age of 60, Nie Haisheng defeated many outstanding astronauts and was selected as the mission crew for this manned moon landing. He also served as the captain of the spacecraft and the supreme commander of the Chang'e spacecraft.

At the same time, he is also the second person in the aerospace brigade, participating in training astronauts, passing on his experience to young astronauts, and has a high prestige among astronauts.

"No, no, commander, you should have the honor of being the first to land on the moon!" Deng Jie said with a blushing face.

Deng Jie entered the Tiangong space station on his first flight mission. Although he defeated other competitors during the selection of the Chang'e spacecraft, there is no doubt that compared to Nie Haisheng, he is just a rookie!

And in a sense, he is still Nie Haisheng's disciple! It was Nie Haisheng who selected him when he went to Beihang University to select astronauts and carefully guided him during the training, so that he became a qualified astronaut.

"Brother Nie, let me see, let's go by age and let Yang Fang be the first to land on the moon. Yang Fang is the youngest among us. She is born in the 2000s and is not yet 25 years old this year. She represents the future. The four of us are all old. Well, I am very lucky to be able to carry out this manned moon landing mission. As for staying in the spacecraft, leave it to me!" Liu Yang said with a smile.

She was the first female astronaut to carry out a space mission. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, but she didn't want to and went to university for further studies. The launch of the "Double Ring Space Station" project has increased the number of tasks for space activities. Coupled with manned moon landings, it is necessary to complete three manned moon landings in this decade and continue to recruit more experienced astronauts. So after receiving the mission, Liu Yang returned to the front line. After more than a year of hard training and hard work, she used her strong perseverance to overcome many difficulties and became an excellent astronaut again. She later performed another flight mission and served as a command officer. Captain, the competition for the selection of astronauts for the 'Chang'e' spacecraft was very fierce. In the end, Liu Yang defeated many opponents and won a spot and served as deputy commander.
