Chapter 1196: Successful docking

"Yes, we have done this training before. It shouldn't be too uncomfortable." Li Yu heard Lin Xiaowei and Sun Ming's words, and said something to comfort everyone.
When they were talking like this, they heard ‘Boom! ’The sound. After that, I felt the spacecraft shake. After that, it feels like taking an elevator upstairs. Of course, this feeling is much more uncomfortable than taking the elevator upstairs.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu have all done training to adapt to overweight before. Also, the three of them are also mentally prepared. In this case, although they feel a little uncomfortable now, they can still bear it.
This is exactly how the rocket started to take off. Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu also knew what was happening outside. They knew that they were about to start a real flying trip.
The lifting phenomenon of the rocket when it just took off, although it feels a bit uncomfortable. But ten seconds passed. After that, this feeling of overweight disappeared.
The rocket was not very fast when it took off. But after ten seconds, the speed is amazing. Because the rocket wants to break free from the of the earth, it must continue to accelerate so that its speed can reach the first cosmic speed (7.9 kilometers per second).
It's just that the space station is at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers from the earth. At such a height, the rocket does not need to accelerate to this first cosmic speed at all, and it can reach there quickly.
This distance of 1,000 kilometers. It took only ten minutes to fly the "Flying 3" carrier rocket with a large thrust.
For Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming and Li Yu, every minute now is very curious.
In the beginning, they were only inside the rocket's body. Only when the rocket flew to an altitude of several hundred kilometers. The power system behind the rocket has already completed its mission, and then it begins to separate from the mother rocket automatically. The remaining rocket main body took the spaceship and flew towards the space station located at 1,000 kilometers.
Soon, the main body of the rocket took the spacecraft and flew near the space station. When the main body of the rocket is several kilometers away from the space station. The work of the rocket body is also completed. Now the head of the rocket body begins to open. The spaceship at the head of the rocket began to separate from the main rocket.
Now the spaceship is about to start its own flight. The thousands of kilometers before it were all completed with the high-thrust launch vehicle "Feitian-3". It's just that when the final docking is reached, the spacecraft must operate by itself.
When the rocket took off at the beginning, Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu, the three of them felt overweight. But now what they feel is weightlessness because now they have reached an altitude of a thousand kilometers. At this height, the gravitational force between the small spacecraft and the earth is very small.
In such a space environment, the human body becomes an object that has lost its gravity. Without the of the earth, we will never sit and feel relaxed and free. On the contrary, we will feel that the head is not the head and the feet are not the feet. It can be said to be at a loss.
Now Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu, the three of them also felt some weightlessness. It's just that the three of them are now fixed on the driving seat of the spaceship. For the time being, they cannot really feel what weightlessness is all about. However, wait a while, when they get to the space station, they will really experience the feeling of weightlessness.
When the spaceship is separated from the mother arrow. Then the next operation depends on the cooperation of the astronauts and the spacecraft control personnel of the ground command center to complete this aerial docking action.
It's just that the spacecraft is still a few kilometers away from the space station. Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu are going to drive the spacecraft together and speed up to catch up to the space station. After all, the space station in space is also moving at a very fast speed! If you want the spacecraft to catch up with the space station, you must constantly accelerate the spacecraft so that its speed exceeds the speed of the space station.
Now the spacecraft has begun to speed up to chase the space station. Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming and Li Yu were sitting in the spacecraft, and they were very excited. After all, they are now a real astronaut.
"Hey, how do you feel, we are now a real astronaut." Lin Xiaowei sat in the main pilot's position, feeling very excited. After all, he felt that his dream was truly realized.
"I feel very excited! So many days of hard work. We are finally flying for nine days now. Now, I feel really a little excited." Sun Ming said so after hearing Lin Xiaowei's words.
"But we still have to complete this docking work! Although we have been flying for nine days now. But this last key step has not been completed yet!" Li Yu knows that the docking work between the spacecraft and the space station is also a high level. Difficult things. If the connection is not good. Then the spacecraft cannot send the administrator to space. This task is not completed.
"We have to trust Mr. Zhao's technology. They have done this task several times before. What we are doing now is just repeating what we have done before. So, we just don't have to worry about anything."
Lin Xiaowei knew about letting the spacecraft dock with the space station. Zhao Zhongyao and his subordinates have done many experiments before. They have now fully mastered this superb technology.
Generally speaking, the technical matters of this docking are all done by commanders on the ground through the camera on the spacecraft. The astronaut sitting in the spacecraft can't do anything. All is just looking at the display in front of you.
However, if there is something wrong with the spacecraft during docking. The astronaut sitting inside must find a way to help the spacecraft dock to the space station. Therefore, the astronaut sitting in the spacecraft is just playing an auxiliary role. It is the commanders on the ground who actually complete the docking work. Because even if there are no astronauts in the spacecraft. Commanders on the ground can also dock the spacecraft with the space station.
Now the spacecraft, under the command of the ground commander, quickly caught up with the space station in front. From a distance, the space station built by China is like an aerial fortress. In space, it appears to be extremely domineering.
The space station designed by Zhao Zhongyao is like a huge airship. On the basis of a huge circular main space station, six auxiliary small space stations are symmetrically docked on both sides of the main space station.
The appearance of the entire space station now resembles a big Peng bird that can't fly high, majestic and majestic. When people see it, there is a sense of inviolability.
At the tail of this main space station, there is a specially designed small docking interface for docking with spacecraft. Relative to the large-scale pair interface of the main space station. This small counter interface is very small. It can only accommodate one person from the spaceship to the space station.
Now the spacecraft, under the command of ground commanders, has begun to accelerate, and soon flew to the tail of the space station. At this time, be careful. Can't fly too fast. After all, the speed of spacecraft and space stations in space is very fast. It can be said to be much faster than the speed of a bullet.
Under such circumstances, the docking work is like performing stunts in two high-speed cars. This is a matter of high difficulty and high risk. With a little care, the spacecraft can collide with the space station.
At such high speeds, if the spacecraft collided with the space station, the consequences would be unimaginable. Both the spacecraft and the space station may be crashed. Such a result makes people shudder even to think about it!
Fortunately, under the leadership of Zhao Zhongyao, Chinese aerospace science and technology personnel have conducted many such experiments. Not to mention that the docking experiment between the spacecraft and the space station has been conducted before. Just to build this space station, six docking works have been carried out. After all, there are six auxiliary small space stations on both sides of the main space station. These six small space stations are all launched into space from the ground. Then docking with the main space station is completed.
After these two years of docking work. Zhao Zhongyao and his subordinates are already very proficient in performing this high-altitude acrobatics show.
Now the spacecraft Lin Xiaowei and the others are riding in, under the operation of ground commanders, has already begun to approach the space station. Of course, the place where they will dock is the tail of the main space station. Now the place they are going to approach is naturally the tail of the main space station.
When the spacecraft is about to approach the space station, it is necessary to quickly slow down the spacecraft. Because at this time, the speed of the spacecraft must be consistent with the speed of the space station. Only in this way can the spacecraft be docked with the space station safely.
Only at this time, Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu were a little scared. After all, now is the critical moment of this manned flight experiment. All efforts depend on the result of this final docking. If the docking is successful, the three of them can immediately enter the space station from the spaceship. But if the docking fails, the three of them may not be able to complete this manned flight experiment. They can only return to Earth, or even unable to return to Earth.
Although for the commanders on the ground, the docking work this time is not much different from the previous docking work. Because they have done this many times before. There are unmanned spacecraft docking work. There is also docking work for manned spacecraft. Whether it is a manned or unmanned spacecraft. For the commanders on the ground, the feeling is almost the same. After all, their technology is already very skilled.
This time although there was someone working on docking the spacecraft. But for Zhao Zhongyao and his subordinates, there is not much pressure. They only need to follow the previously trained method to complete this docking work.
Only for Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming and Li Yu sitting in the spacecraft. But the eldest girl sits in a sedan chair-the first time. They are still a little nervous. After all, at this final critical moment, whether they can enter the space station smoothly depends on the last shiver.
Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu are just sitting in the spacecraft. Judging from the expressions of the three of them, they were obviously a little nervous. The three of them looked at the display in front of them, and none of them spoke.
After all, now is the most critical moment. The spacecraft is only one meter away from the dock at the tail of the main space station.
This is the most critical meter. At this moment, it is necessary to rely on commanders on the ground to continuously fine-tune the flight status of the spacecraft. The docking interface between the spacecraft and the flight attitude and the main space station can be perfectly in a straight line.
Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu are all holding their breath now, waiting for the last critical moment to come.
Now the baffle outside the docking interface on the front of the spacecraft has been opened. The interface was immediately exposed to space. Lin Xiaowei and the three of them were sitting in the spacecraft. Through the display screen in front of them, you can clearly see the docking process.
They saw that the dock of the spacecraft and the dock of the main body of the space station were getting closer. From a distance of one meter, it slowly became ten centimeters, a distance of one centimeter.
"Bang!" Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu felt that the spacecraft shook slightly. Their spacecraft is perfectly docked with the main space station. On the display screen in front of the three of them, a line of subtitles also appeared: "The spacecraft is docked with the space station."
As soon as I saw this line of words. Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming and Li Yu, all three of them had happy smiles on their faces.
"Haha, the docking is successful, we can go inside the space station." Lin Xiaowei first unfastened the safety device tied to his body and wanted to get off his seat. But as soon as he was together, his whole body immediately floated.
"Ah! I'm floating." Lin Xiaowei screamed immediately. After all, this was the first time he really felt weightlessness.
Sun Ming and Li Yu took a look at Lin Xiaowei's movements. The two were taken aback. Originally, the two of them wanted to unlock their safety devices too! But looking at Lin Xiaowei's scene, they just didn't make any more moves.
"Hey, why are you still in a daze, don't you want to go inside the space station!" Lin Xiaowei said, staring at Sun Ming and Li Yu.
After hearing Lin Xiaowei's words, the two hurriedly unlocked the complete device on their bodies. It's just that as soon as they untied, just like Lin Xiaowei, they immediately floated.
