Chapter 1127 Lunar Probe
Since the leaders have said so, what are you waiting for! In any case, we must quickly develop the return capsule. "Hans looked at Jack and said.
"Then let's work hard together! People Hua Guo has now developed the space station, and we haven't even developed the return capsule! But it's really embarrassing! It seems that we should indeed work hard. "Jack also looked at Hans and said.
"Yeah! Hurry up! Otherwise, the distance between our country M and China is getting bigger and bigger." Although Hans also felt the tremendous pressure, there is no way he can do it. He can only think about it. By all means, the return capsule was developed.
Besides, after Zhao Zhongyao and the others launched the space station into space, they began to adapt the astronauts to life in the space station.
After several training sessions, Zhao Zhongyao knew that the next thing they had to do was to start the final great plan.
Going to the moon. But to complete the moon landing plan, it is definitely not an easy task. For Zhao Zhongyao, it was a very difficult task.
But even if it is very difficult, it must be done. Because this is the only way for China to become the only superpower in this parallel world.
Only by completing this great moon landing plan can China always be ahead of the world. There is no country that can be compared with China.
Now the space station has been launched into space. Astronauts can also live and work in space. And what Zhao Zhongyao wants to do next is to design a detector to start short-range exploration of the moon.
Although the moon is a satellite of the earth, it is only 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. But compared to the satellites launched by humans, this 380,000 kilometers is a long distance.
Zhao Zhongyao now wants to complete this great moon landing plan, so first of all, he must design a probe. Let the probe first make a survey of the lunar environment. Then, let the probe land on the surface of the moon and carry out an unmanned landing plan.
These things are also very simple. But if it is really done, it is very difficult.
First, it is very difficult to develop a space probe. Because this detector needs to work in outer space, the environment there is very harsh. Detectors must be able to withstand the test of high temperature and extremely low temperature in order to complete the tasks assigned to them by some ground commanders in space.
Space probe, also known as deep space probe or cosmic probe. It is an unmanned spacecraft that detects the moon and celestial bodies and space beyond the moon. It is the main tool for space exploration. The space probe is loaded with scientific detection instruments, sent into space by a carrier rocket, flies close to the moon or planets for close observations, makes artificial satellites for long-term observations, lands for on-site investigations, or collects samples for research and analysis.
Space probes are classified into lunar probes, planetary and interplanetary probes, and small celestial probes according to the objects they detect. When the space probe leaves the earth, it must obtain a sufficient speed to overcome or get rid of the gravity of the earth and realize deep-space flight. The probe runs along a heliocentric elliptical orbit (bitangent orbit) that is tangent to both the earth's orbit and the target planet's orbit, and may encounter the target planet; increasing the speed to change the flight orbit can shorten the time to reach the target planet.
In order to ensure that when the probe flies along the bitangential orbit to the point where the target planet is tangent to the orbit of the target planet, the probe must be launched when the earth and the target planet are in a certain relative position. The probe can use the planet's gravitational field to accelerate when it orbits a star to achieve continuous orbiting multiple planets.
The salient feature of space probes is that for long-term flight in space, real-time remote control is not possible on the ground, so they must have autonomous navigation capabilities; flying to planets outside the solar system, away from the sun, cannot use solar arrays, but must use nuclear energy systems; Very harsh space environmental conditions require special protective structures; landing or walking on the surface of the moon or planet requires some special forms of structures.
The lunar probe detects the moon by flying over the moon, hitting the moon (hard landing on the moon), soft landing on the moon, orbiting the moon, sampling and analyzing the lunar soil, or sampling the lunar soil back to the earth.
Zhao Zhongyao also knew a lot about the space exploration technology in the world before his death. He knew that if he wanted to launch a probe to the moon, he must first send the probe into a long-distance earth orbit. Then, let the probe continue to accelerate under the action of the earth's gravity, and finally break free of the earth's gravity, and then fly to the moon.
When flying to the moon, if the flight is accurate enough, it can enter the lunar orbit and become a moon of the moon. In this way, this probe can observe the moon in its orbit.
Of course, this is only a relatively low-level lunar probe, that is to say, this type of probe does not land on the moon, but only becomes a satellite of the moon.
Zhao Zhongyao also knows these things very well. He plans to design a moon satellite probe first, and first observe the surface of the moon. Find a suitable place for landing.
Just wanting to design a lunar probe is not an easy task. Zhao Zhongyao also spent a lot of time and effort. In the end, the lunar probe was designed.
This is something like a small satellite, with two solar panels and an aircraft. On this aircraft is equipped with a high-end space camera. Can be used to photograph the topography and landforms of the moon's surface.
After Zhao Zhongyao developed this detector, he asked Cheng Yu to come and take a look.
Cheng Yu looked at the small detector in front of him, and he was also very surprised.
"Mr. Zhao, can this thing fly to the moon?" Cheng Yu asked Zhao Zhongyao very puzzled. "That's right, it's this thing. It can fly to the moon. It can become a moon of the moon. It can observe and record the surface of the moon." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu and said.
"Then when do we launch this probe!" Cheng Yu asked again looking at Zhao Zhongyao.
"This will take a while. It is not the best window time to launch this probe. It will take another half a month to launch this lunar probe." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu and said.
"That's really great. The detector developed by our country is about to be launched into space. Then, we can get a glimpse of the moon's appearance." Cheng Yu is also very interested in astronomy. He also wants to know what the surface of the moon looks like.
But before Zhao Zhongyao made this great ‘moon landing plan’, humans had never carefully observed the moon. Although mankind also invented the space telescope. But the moon in the telescope is just a rough picture. Because human telescopes cannot directly see the situation on the surface of the moon. You can only see some relatively large mountains and giant craters on the moon.
Zhao Zhongyao is also very happy these few days. After all, he has designed this lunar satellite probe. The next step is to launch this probe and let it start working in the moon's low earth orbit.
But it is not easy to launch a detector. The United States and the former Soviet Union failed many times when launching lunar probes. Many probes failed to reach the moon, and then were captured by the sun's gravity and became an asteroid, orbiting the sun.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhongyao is also very clear about the examples of these failed lunar probes. When he launched this lunar probe, he also calculated very accurately. It is possible for this lunar lunar probe to successfully fly into the orbit of the moon and become an orbiting satellite of the moon.
It should be said that the manned spaceflight experiment conducted by Zhao Zhongyao has already attracted the attention of the world. The lunar exploration plan he is currently carrying out naturally attracts the world's attention even more.
When Zhao Zhongyao had not started launching a lunar probe, the major media in the world had already spread the news.
Besides, the media of country M is the same. When they learned that China was going to launch a probe to the moon, they also reported on the front page of an important newspaper that China was going to launch a probe to the moon.
As soon as Jack and Hans knew about this, they seemed to be discouraged balls. At first, the two of them felt that they couldn't catch up with Zhao Zhongyao. Before the two of them, after a period of hard work, they finally developed the return capsule.
But they haven't been happy for a while! I saw that China was preparing to launch a lunar probe.
"Hans, read the news in this newspaper."
Jack also heard of such a thing, then bought a newspaper from a newsstand on the street and brought it to Hans.
Of course Hans had also heard of such a miraculous thing. China is now going to launch a probe to the moon. This is an unprecedented event.
But Hans knew that it is very difficult for humans to launch probes to other planets. It is not so easy to succeed. Because the distance between planets is very long. Even the moon, which is close at hand, is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. It is certainly not an easy task to launch a probe to the moon.
"Jack, I already know about this, but what's wrong. China's aerospace technology is indeed very advanced now. But it is impossible for them to launch the probe to the moon." Hans seems to be concerned about this matter. , That is the same as very understanding.
When Hans said this, Jack looked at Hans in a puzzled way and said: "Why do you say that? How do you know that people in China cannot easily launch the probe to the moon."
"Because, if you want to launch a probe to the moon, it needs to be calculated very accurately. Any small mistakes may make the mission of launching a waste. Although China's current aerospace technology is very advanced, they It is impossible to launch successfully in one shot. I am sure that their launch mission this time will not be successful."
Hans has always been more arrogant, although he feels that his talent cannot be compared with Zhao Zhongyao. But he felt that he had no less knowledge about spaceflight than Zhao Zhongyao. He felt that Zhao Zhongyao would not succeed in launching a moon probe this time.
After listening to Hans, Jack felt relieved. He looked at Hans and said: "So, we don't need to worry now. Although China still wants to move on, it is very difficult for them to succeed!"
"Yes, China has now completed the launch of the space station. As long as our country successfully launches the return capsule, it can launch the space station directly. Maybe, in two years, we will be able to catch up. China is now."
Hans felt that no matter how smart Zhao Zhongyao was, he would not be able to launch the probe to the moon soon. During the period when Zhao Zhongyao was developing the detector, Hans and Jack could vigorously study the technology of the return capsule. Before Zhao Zhongyao launches the probe to the moon, they have to launch the return capsule into space.
"Okay, then let's work hard to develop the return capsule! Now, we have designed the return capsule. The next step is to launch this return capsule into space." Jack listened to Hans. He was also full of confidence in his heart.
Besides, Zhao Zhongyao and the others have now developed the first lunar probe. And, prepare to select a launch window to launch.
For this time the launch of the lunar probe is working. Zhao Zhongyao was also a little nervous. He knew that in the world before his death, no country could successfully launch a lunar probe in one go.
As for Zhao Zhongyao's lunar probe launch this time, he also felt that it was unlikely that the first launch would succeed. This is the first time, just to find some experience.
Therefore, before the launch of this lunar probe, he and Cheng Yu had some exchanges on this launch mission.
Cheng Yu felt that this launch mission would definitely be successful. Because he felt that as long as the spacecraft developed by Zhao Zhongyao were very advanced. There is no record of launch failure. For Cheng Yu, the launch mission this time also felt that it would be a success.
Before any detector is launched, it has a number. This detector developed by Zhao Zhongyao. There was also a number originally. It is called the Lunar One Satellite Probe. This is also what Zhao Zhongyao'plagiarized' based on the serial numbers of some lunar probes during his lifetime.
