Chapter 482 Moon Landing (2)(1/2)
In the live broadcast room.
The calm voice of the airman Gamorin came out.
[Nur! Nur! This is the Ross, everything is normal in the spacecraft. Request to start changing orbit.]
【Allow change of track!】
With the command center's order.
Watch the Grizzly Bear and hundreds of millions of water friends in the Great Xia countries.
The Ross finally waited for the opportunity to change the track.
The ignition device was activated again, and the spacecraft spewed out a strong flame.
The people in the ground command center held their breath and watched tightly.
What is a change of track?
Track change programs are complicated and simple.
According to the program set by the spacecraft in advance, draw a circle larger than the low-Earth orbit in space.
This circle will connect to the low-Earth orbit and the far-moon orbit.
Enter the track through the booster at the intersection.
After sailing a circle, the established procedure once again looks for opportunities for orbital change at the intersection of the far-moon orbit and the near-moon orbit.
It is said to be complicated because it involves very advanced mathematical calculations and physics knowledge.
It is simple because under the control of modern technology computers, everything is just pressing the button.
The change of track has begun!
The water lovers in the live broadcast room clearly saw through the relay satellite that Ross changed his course and headed towards the moon.
At extremely fast speeds, the distance of 400,000 kilometers seems to be fleeting.
Everything is both fresh and curious to the water lovers.
Especially when everyone exclaimed when they saw Shen Lang's concentration.
:I'm going! Have you seen it? Brother Shen is controlling the spacecraft!
:They are ignorant! They are controlling the command cabin, and the spacecraft has entered the established orbital change program, which is completely controlled by the computer. They are waiting to connect to the lunar module.
:Uh... I don't seem to understand anything, haha, but it doesn't prevent me from shouting Brother Shen YYDS.
: That’s right, why are we ordinary people worrying about so much? It’s enough to call Brother Shen forever!
:Madan, if we landed in Daxia, everything would be perfect.
:Upstairs, it’s soon. Didn’t our Daxia say that it will be able to land on the moon in a few years.
: Brother Shen went up to explore the road first, and it was a reference for us to log in later. No wonder this guy was receiving aerospace training a few days ago.
: Brother Shen must land safely and come back safely!
...
Shen Lang knew nothing about it, and the whole network was already hotly discussing him.
All he knew was half the success of the moon landing.
Under the close monitoring of the three people, the Ross successfully changed its orbit and circled a large circle for a full week, approaching the orbit of the far moon.
At this moment, we have gone around to the second established position, the contact point between the far-moon track and the near-moon track.
Continue to change the track!
With the help of the pusher, Ross successfully carried out a second orbital change operation, completely pushing the command module into the near-moon orbit.
The Ross also completed his mission and left the orbital range.
In the near future, it will be captured by the earth's gravity, most of which will burn in the atmosphere, and a small part will fall into the deep sea.
Not to mention these for now.
After another 50 minutes, the command module on the near-moon track finally slowly caught up with the lunar module ahead.
Gamorin, who was in charge of the main driving, turned his head and took a deep breath.
"Shen Lang, are you ready? We are approaching the lunar module and are ready to connect."
Shen Lang nodded, and to their right front, the lunar module was already flying quietly around the moon.
Next, the three of them will slowly approach the lunar module by driving the command cabin and successfully docking with it.
"I have no problem here. I can connect at any time."
Shen Lang responded in a deep voice, which made the other two breathe a sigh of relief.
The links he is responsible for are separation and docking.
This link is crucial, and it was originally responsible for Swick.
When he was on the ground, Shen Lang controlled with excellent reaction speed and accuracy, gaining control of this link.
Especially now, the command cabin I am riding on is an old tooth product from more than 40 years ago. Most of the equipment is manually remotely controlled, so there is no tolerance for any mistakes.
Once a problem occurs, it will be the end of the collision between the two and the plane will be destroyed and the people will die.
For such a fatal matter, Swick raised his hands to agree to Shen Lang to control this link, which shows how respectful he is to Shen Lang.
Gamorin glanced at Shen Lang's hands and found that this guy was really stable, so he felt relieved.
"Okay! Swick, you are ready. Once Shen Lang is connected successfully, you can check the docking situation immediately and pressurize the lunar module."
Then, Gamorin opened the communication connection to the command center.
"Nur Center! Nur Center! Here is the Ross command module. Now everything is ready. Please contact the lunar module."
After a while, the command center received a reply.
“Dooring is allowed.”
The commander-in-chief's voice was extremely nervous and even a little trembling.
After receiving the instructions, Gamorin gently touched Shen Lang with his hand, indicating that he could start manipulating.
Shen Lang nodded, stared at the front without turning his eyes, and obtained the driving rights of the command cabin.
The connection has begun.
This is a very complicated operation.
At this time, the two cabins will deliberately brake and the speed becomes very slow.
They approach each other in centimeters/second units, and the direction of the interface is constantly adjusted.
Ground personnel continued to calculate docking data and provided guidance to Shen Lang in space.
What Shen Lang had to do was to never shake his hands and steadily let the two fight together exactly.
In the live broadcast room, everyone was deeply impressed by his operations.
:Uh... Is the screen stuck? It seems that Brother Shen couldn't move for a while in 20 minutes.
: Talking about it, I didn’t see Gamorin and Swick shaking all the time, Brother Shen just couldn’t move.
:Don't move for 20 minutes? What's this? That guy comes out to popularize the science.
:I'll do it! I'm a man named Zhihu and I'm just going to give you some insights on what manual docking is.
Some enthusiastic water friends stood up.
:Everyone, space manual docking, different from the fully automatic docking mode, will be completed by the astronauts controlling the driver throughout the journey.
You should have noticed that the command cabin that Brother Shen and the others were riding in was extremely simple, ahem... forgive me for using the word quaint to describe it.
If I read it correctly, this is a product of the 1970s. I really don’t know where the Russians made the junk, but it even rose to heaven.
Of course, there is no automatic docking system for this thing, and everything can only be done with both hands.
As you see, not far from the command module is the lunar module, which is about 100 meters away.
You should know that in space, this distance is almost negligible. The space station that is flying around the ground is 8,000 meters in the blink of an eye, which can be said to be 80,000 miles a day.
But it's different at this moment.
The distance of 100 meters is the distance that can be maintained by deliberately braking the lunar module and the command module, which contains the essence of profound technology.
Not to mention these, let’s talk about the difficulty of manual control docking.
The driver will slowly approach the docking target at a speed of 0.025 meters per second.
During this process, your hands must remain stable and must not tremble at all.
Otherwise, once there is a deviation, the docking procedure must be started again, and the lunar module and command module must retreat to a safe distance.
At a speed of 0.025 meters per second, how long does it take to connect 100 meters?
Everyone should have calculated that it takes 4,000 seconds.
To be continued...
