Vol 2 Chapter 734: Launch of "Moon Palace Pathfinder" 1

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [灵域图书网]https://fastest update! No ads!
The Lunar Landing Probe No. 2 in front of me is a backup probe. It is now in the same package as the No. 1 that is ready to go and has been installed in the Titan 2 heavy recoverable rocket. In the case of ensuring that No. 1 fails to launch, it can be re-launched in the shortest possible time without delaying the time node of the detection plan.
Of course, even if the No. 1 is successfully launched, it does not mean that the No. 2 is of little use. The moon is so big. If you want to detect it by just a landing probe, when will it be detected? The weight of a landing detector is as high as the number of various detectors carried and there are several related experimental carriers. However, if the related detection tasks are to be completed efficiently, more landing detectors are definitely needed to join the task. middle.
This weight may not be understood by everyone, so refer to the Chang'e-3 mission in China. Like the Chang'e-3 probe, the Lunar Pathfinder probe also consists of a lander and a rover (commonly known as a lunar rover). Composition. After the probe lands on the lunar surface, with the support of the measurement and control system and ground application system, the payload carried by the probe will carry out scientific detection.
However, the combined weight of all the loads of Chang'e-3 is only 3780 kg. If other weights such as deceleration fuel required for the landing of the lander are excluded, its dry weight is only 1220 kg, which is specific to the weight of the Yutu lunar rover. It is only 140 kilograms. By comparing this figure, you can know what the total weight of 14.7 tons is?
The total weight is almost 4 times heavier than Chang'e-3, and the dry weight is also as heavy. You should know that a heavy tractor generally weighs 8 to 9 tons. Its dry weight is heavier than a heavy truck. You can imagine how many more detection equipment and experimental carriers you carry!
But even in this case, the detection range of a landing probe is very small, but the moon needs to detect such a large range. There are various geological conditions. It is definitely not enough to rely on it, so even the No. 1 probe will go smoothly. After the successful launch, the No. 2 backup probe will also be launched to different areas of the moon to perform detection missions.
Because of this, it is packaged. It is impossible to reopen it for Lei Tiantang's visit and let it do the actual movement display. So after understanding the situation here, Lei Tiantang took Kaila and followed Zhang Hanxiu. Later, I went to visit the Mars Landing Rover. The testing work of the "New Home Trailblazer" Mars Landing Rover is still going on all the time, and it is more interesting there.
After satisfying his curiosity, Lei Tiantang would not be able to continue disturbing Zhang Hanxiu and their work. He took Kayla to walk around the base by himself, and waited for the official launch time to check it out.
Of course, the media is paying attention to this launch mission. Although the moon landing exploration is nothing new now, it is the state power that can complete such a complex system engineering before completing this work. This time Infinite Gravity Group Such a private company also has to carry out such a lunar exploration project, and its news attention is very high, not to mention the name of this company is Infinite Gravity Group!
This name represents news attention! However, because the launch has not yet begun, there are not many reporters on the scene. However, the reporters who arrived early did not live up to their wait. The scene of Lei Tiantang and Kaila's appearance can also attract a wave of attention. Degree.
However, even if the launch is successful, everyone paid more attention to it in the previous period, because what everyone cares most is whether the probe can successfully land on the moon. This is a sign of whether the launch mission is truly successful.
Under the lens of reporters and the attention of netizens, the'Giantlings 2'heavy recoverable rocket bundled with two auxiliary boosters rose from the ground amid a huge roar and traversed a beautiful arc. The line successfully lifted off, launching the Lunar Palace Pathfinder 1 probe directly to the Earth-Moon transfer orbit with a height of 200 kilometers at perigee and a height of 380,000 kilometers at apogee.
Next, it will take a few days to fly to the moon. At that time, the formal landing procedure will start, and everyone is paying attention to it at that time, but even the successful launch is a very inspiring achievement.
Xiong Antai, Zhang Hanxiu and all the participants in this project were very excited. Except for the necessary on-duty monitoring personnel, everyone else and Lei Tiantang held a small celebration in the cafeteria that night, and of course a more important celebration. The activity will not be carried out until the landing probe has successfully landed on the surface of the moon and officially starts to work. At that time, all members can participate!
"Welcome all leaders to visit our Gaia base!" Lei Tiantang smiled and greeted the leaders who came to visit the probe landing operation with the company's senior management at the base~EbookFREE.me~The successful launch of the Moon Palace Probe It has been several days since Luzhe's No. 1 probe. The probe flew very fast, and it was near the moon in less than 5 days. The probe started to ignite and decelerate, after about 5 minutes of ignition by the main engine. Work, the probe successfully entered an elliptical orbit of 100 kilometers X 400 kilometers around the moon.
This means that the landing procedure is about to begin. At this time, the attention of this mission is very high. Even many leaders have taken time out of their busy schedule to witness this last step. This is not to satisfy curiosity. Landing Probe Landing These leaders have all seen it, and there is nothing unusual about it.
They chose to visit and inspect at this time in order to cheer up the Infinite Gravity Group. After all, this mission also created a history. Private companies have fully participated in the lunar exploration program. So far, this is the only one, whether in Any country should be valued, let alone the Infinite Gravity Group!
The most important point is that the country is deeply involved in the launch mission of the Infinite Gravity Group. As early as the design of the Lunar Palace Pathfinder 1 probe of the Infinite Gravity Group, the state was concerned about this mission. A lot of help was provided, and the successful experience of the Chang'e series of missions was delivered without reservation, so that the Deep Space Laboratory took many detours.
Later, it also provided a lot of help in the follow-up detector design. Of course, the new design of Infinite Gravity Group also provides more possibilities for the country's follow-up lunar exploration program. The technological exchange progress is based on such cooperation. It has been reached in China, which is a model of in-depth cooperation.
