: Section 588 NASA, preparing for missile interception

On February 15, 2013, Chelyabinsk, a light beam crossed the sky, leaving a white trail, followed by a loud noise, a huge meteorite with a mass of 7,000 to 10,000 tons was 30 to 10,000 tons from the ground. An explosion at 50 kilometers caused meteorite rain to fall on the ground after disintegration, causing injuries to more than a thousand people.
Chelyabinsk was hit by such a huge meteorite, and the residents of Chelyabinsk had not been alerted by the government or the government.
The movement of 'Little Appophis' in space appears irregular, which makes the NASAs even more headaches.
Because the meteorite moves irregularly in space, it means that it is impossible to calculate and analyze its flight trajectory and landing place. Even in the Hollywood video novel ww.zhu., The complex meteorite flight was successfully calculated. The trajectory, the protagonist who successfully let the earth escape the meteorite catastrophe, can not be counted, the movement of the meteorite is irregular, how to count! !!
However, now, countries around the world are staring at the United States on the map, the East Coast, the New York Inland Sea, 37 degrees northeast, and 12 kilometers from the coast of New York.
This is the place where the 'Little Apophis' landed on the slate.
However, all countries have not relaxed their vigilance. Anti-aircraft missiles have been waiting. The nuclear submarines patrolling in the ocean and the nuclear bomb silos hidden by nuclear powers in various places are ready to launch. Countries are preparing for the worst situation.
However, a nuclear bomb will not be fired until a last resort. once. The nuclear bomb was fired. The blow up of the meteorite rain formed by ‘Little Apophis’ and the nuclear radiation energy will be another disaster—
At 10 am on July 3, there were 18 hours and 17 minutes before 'Little Apophis' hit the earth.
New York, as well as Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Delaware have mostly evacuated from the coast.
The capital of the world, New York, has become an empty city. Times Square, the district and the streets of Fifth Avenue are no longer bustling and have become very depressed. The Empire State Building, known as the seventh wonder of the world, has gone empty, Wall Street, the center of world finance, at this moment. The color of money has faded and turned into a yellow photo, which is usually very busy on the road. I haven't seen a car, the water on the Hudson River in Manhattan is very calm, and the busy waterway restores the tranquility of the evening sun.
At this moment, the capital of the world is choking its throat and has stopped breathing--
A simple 9-story office building stands at the junction of 3rd Street and E Street in the southwest of Washington, DC.
This is the famous NASA headquarters. The 'brain' of the largest civilian space agency on the planet is active in this building. The NASA headquarters with no 'personality' is not as easy to identify as the White House and the Pentagon. Yes, however, the astronaut model in a white space suit in the lobby on the first floor, the toy-like space shuttle hung, will not make you think you have gone the wrong door.
Although NASA's headquarters is not as well-known as some of its subordinate space centers, its headquarters in Washington, DC, is NASA's undisputed hub.
NASA has about 30,000 full-time employees, which is very large, but compared to other US government agencies, NASA can be regarded as a lean and simplified administration. Compared to this, not to mention the Ministry of Defense, which has a total staffing of millions of people, after the '9.11' incident The newly established Department of Homeland Security also has 170,000 staff.
There is a Planetary Defense Coordination Office under NASA (), a new department set up in January 2016, whose main responsibility is to monitor and track asteroids, comets and other celestial bodies existing in the Earth's orbit in response to the threat of any potential celestial body .
The 'little apophys' meteorite was observed.
Keep track of the trajectory of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, and calculate its landing location.
In an office filled with people, President Cleveland, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and several four-star generals.
Everyone stared at the big screen in front of them, and the big trajectory of the ‘Little Apophis’ meteorite was displayed.
Director Dave Burek told President Cleveland, "The 'Little Apophis' meteorite is rocky, with a diameter of about 35 to 40 meters and a mass of 70 to 80,000 tons. The mass of the meteorite that landed in Chelyabinsk in 2013 was 8 to 10 times. The 'little Apophis' meteorite meteorite traveled very fast in space and came towards the earth. It is expected that the meteorite will be no less than 64,000 kilometers. Entering the atmosphere at an hour, this speed is equivalent to 17 times the speed of bullets. "
Dave Burek said here, his voice paused, and he said in a little frightened, "We can now sit here calmly to deal with the impact of 'Little Apophis' on the Earth. This must be thanks to Chen Rui a year ago Warning, so that we can observe 'Little Apophis' dozens of hours in advance, which allows us to be prepared enough to deal with 'Little Apophis'. If 'Little Apophis' enters the earth, The atmosphere has only observed that with meteorites in the atmosphere exceeding 64,000 kilometers per hour, then everything will be too late. The fate of New York predicted on the slate is almost doomed to 2.17 million casualties. "
Upon hearing that, Cleveland nodded and said, "Indeed, all Americans need to thank Chen Rui. He saved the fate of New York, saved the lives of 2.17 million Americans, and even saved the American economy. After the incident, I personally called to express my gratitude to Chen Rui. "After speaking, I paused and continued," Where did the meteorite landfall and the extent of the damage to the earth? "
Dave Burek shrugged and said, "I'm sorry. President. Because." Little Apophis "moves irregularly in space, so the location of the meteorite's landing on the earth cannot be calculated.
You know, Mr. President, meteorites impact the earth at different angles and cause different degrees of damage. Meteorites impact the earth at right angles. The kinetic energy generated is the largest, and the degree of damage to the earth is the largest. Meteorites hit the earth with very small oblique angles, and the degree of damage to the earth is the smallest. Meteorites land on the sea and hit the land, and the degree of damage to the earth is very large s difference,.
However, one thing is certain: a meteorite with a diameter of 35 to 40 meters and a mass of 70,000 to 80,000 tons hit the earth. The level of damage to the earth is level 3, level. Potential threat to celestial bodies, regional destruction effect, that is, if 'Little Apophis' descends on the New York Inland Sea, the destructive effect on the nearby area is devastating, and the tsunami will be triggered first in New York, followed by, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware Coastal Coast ,. "
"Do you have any response plans?" Cleveland continued to ask Dave Burek.
"Yes." Dave Burek nodded and said, "We have a detailed interception plan. First, we launched a guided missile to deflect the flight path of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, making it towards the central Atlantic Ocean. Landed in the direction, and then launched a nuclear bomb to destroy it. The meteorite rain formed after the meteorite crashed landed on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The nuclear radiation of the nuclear bomb explosion stayed on the Atlantic Ocean, minimizing the destructive power of the meteorite and the nuclear radiation of the nuclear bomb. "
"What's the success rate?" Cleveland asked Dave Burek, looking at him.
"90%, the implementation of this plan, with a success rate of more than 90%, we also want to thank Chen Rui, who gave the specific landing location of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite, New York Inland Sea, 37 degrees northeast, In the waters about 12 kilometers off the coast of New York, we can determine the flight path of the meteorite in the Earth's atmosphere through back-calculation. Then, launch missiles to deflect it, and launch nuclear bombs to destroy it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, this interception plan 30 % Success rate is not. "
July 3, 22:40 Eastern Time.
The ‘Little Apophis’ meteorite flew out of the moon ’s shadow and passed over the moon ’s surface.
At this time, you can see the 'Little Apophis' meteorite through the astronomical telescope. The flying speed is extremely fast, and it is flying towards the earth.
At 4:27 p.m. Eastern Time on July 4.
‘Little Apophis’ flew away from the moon ’s gravitational circle and flew towards Earth.
July 4, 2:17 p.m. EDT.
The satellite observed that the 'Little Apophis' meteorite is only 27680 kilometers from the ground, which means that this uninvited guest is between low earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit. The former is a large number of artificial celestial bodies, including the International Space Station and the Earth Observation Satellite. Orbit, the latter is the orbit of the satellite that provides us with weather and communication services, at this time, very close to the earth.
The nations of the world are preparing for a sleepless night together.
Satellites and space telescopes around the world are paying close attention to the 'Little Apophis' meteorite.
In the United States, air defense missile systems have locked their bearings.
Several nuclear submarines cruised the mid-Atlantic at designated locations.
Waiting for command to be issued.
Countries around the world have not relaxed, the missile defense system has been upgraded to the highest level of alert, and the nuclear warheads of nuclear countries have been aimed at the sky, waiting to be activated and ordered to launch.
In the command hall of NASA.
To President Cleveland, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and many generals, tonight is also a sleepless night.
On the big screen, the orbit of the 'Little Apophis' meteorite photographed by the detection satellite is displayed.
It can be seen that the 'Little Apolphis' meteorite is flying towards the earth with extremely fast speed.
At 4:47 AM Eastern Time on July 4th.
The 'Little Apophis' meteorite entered the earth's atmosphere, because the meteorite burned with the atmospheric Mocha, dragging a long white flame tail behind the 'Little Apophis'.
"Little Apophis' meteorite is now flying at 67,272 km / h and flying at an angle of 76.4 degrees. It is expected to hit the earth in about 1 hour and 20 minutes."
"The 'Little Apophis' meteorite now has a flying speed of 68124 km / h and a flight angle of 77.6 degrees. It is expected to land in the Atlantic Ocean in about an hour. The specific position cannot be calculated."
The 'Little Apophis' meteorite now has a flight speed of 64178 km / h and a flight angle of 75.6 degrees. It is expected to land on the Atlantic Ocean in about 45 minutes. The specific position cannot be calculated. "
Dave Burek walked gently to President Cleveland and said to the president, "Mr. President, 'Apophis Jr.' has 6 minutes and 42 seconds to enter the first missile ambush point, and whether to launch a missile interception. "
"At this point, what is the success rate of launching the missile interception." Cleveland asked Dave Burek.
"Because the 'Little Apophis' meteorite is too high from the ground, the speed and angle of the meteorite are constantly changing, so the success rate of missile interception is only about 50%."
"Come on," Cleveland said.
The 'Little Apophis' meteorite is currently flying at a speed of 65,171 kilometers per hour and a flight angle of 72.6 degrees. It is expected to land in the western Atlantic Ocean in about 32 minutes. "
"The 'Little Apophis' meteorite now has a flight speed of 62118 km / h and a flight angle of 71.6 degrees. It is expected to land on the Atlantic Ocean in about 24 minutes. The landing site of the Little Apophis meteorite can be determined in the coastal waters of the East Coast. . "
Dave Burek once again told President Cleveland ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Mr. President, ‘Little Apophis’ has 3 minutes and 12 seconds to enter the second missile ambush point, whether to launch a missile intercept. "
"What is the success rate of interception," Cleveland said.
"76%."
"If the interception fails, what are the consequences?" President Cleveland asked Dave Burek.
"Intercept failure has two consequences. First, the missile did not hit the meteorite. This is the most ideal failure. It will not affect the interception of the third missile ambush point. Second, the missile hit the meteorite but missed it. Then, the consequences are very serious. The third missile ambush point and the fourth missile ambush point all failed, and the meteorite fell to the unknown landing site. Perhaps the meteorite landed on the Atlantic Ocean, or it might land on the African continent, or Europe, Asia, this will have very serious international impact. "
Also, it ’s okay to hit the 'Little Apophis' meteorite on the Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately, if you hit the meteorite on the land of another country, people will definitely not do it. If it hits the land of polar bears, they dare to throw a nuclear bomb directly at you . (To be continued.
