Nasa.

Satellite Control Center.

In front of the horseshoe-shaped console, stood a black pressed figure. Among them are nasa engineers, officials from the White House and Congress, and professionals from well-known North American space companies such as spae-x and blue space.

The atmosphere on the scene was quite suppressed, and a pair of sights gathered on the big screen on the console.

Everyone is watching the same position, as if waiting for a result.

Three days ago, carrying the core module of the Moon Station space station, the Huaguo Xiangrui took off again and successfully broke through the atmosphere and entered the low Earth orbit.

Almost all the space agencies in the world have their eyes on this spacecraft that is on the lunar orbit.

If the launch plan is successful, China will become the first country in the world to place a space station on the lunar orbit, and it will become the only country in the world that has proven to have lunar orbital construction capabilities.

For the United States, this is obviously not good news.

Not surprisingly, their "Deep Space Gate" lunar orbital space station will not be able to start the first formation until next year, although the success of the Ares plan puts them on the front of the Mars colonization plan, but if so Losing the moon, it seems that some are not worth the loss.

From three days ago, the lens of the nasa observation satellite was locked at the exit of the earth-moon transfer orbit, waiting for the spacecraft that had left the synchronous orbit for a long time, and appeared again in the lens.

If there is no accident, today should be the time for the auspicious to arrive on the lunar orbit...

The eyes stared at the big screen on the console, and the director Carson, who was behind his back, stood there for a long time. Suddenly he looked at the watch with impatience and said.

"Not yet?"

Standing next to Director Carson, the director of the satellite control center, Bill, opened the folder and quickly reported to him.

"According to our calculations, they still have about ten minutes to reach the lunar orbit... Of course, they do not rule out the possibility of using the traditional earth-moon transfer orbit, and cut into the orbit around the moon by other means."

Here, Bill, looked at the director of Carson, and his expression continued to be subtle.

"... If this is the case, we need more accurate data on the lunar height to make accurate observations of their spacecraft."

Director Carson snorted.

"...you can call the Chinese Space Agency and let them tell you."

The voice of the director of the satellite control center, Bill's voice, was slightly stagnation, and his face was slightly subtle. Standing next to Director Carson, the president looked at the watch impatiently and said.

"...we can't wait endlessly here, maybe next time you can give me a more accurate time."

Director Carson: "Please don't worry, my president, no matter whether the situation is optimistic, we can see the result in at least two hours..."

If he can, he certainly hopes that the **** sky plane will never show the best. It’s best like a comet that is out of control, disappearing forever at the end of the Earth’s system...

Nasa needs an opponent who is chasing them behind, not a player who is half a step ahead of them. No matter in which field, they must do their best. This is not only a kind of glory, but also a **** politics.

However, Carson also knows that his expectations are not even a luxury.

The auspicious number that has already succeeded in manned the moon, it is unreasonable that even simple things like satellites can't be done well.

Sure enough, it seems to confirm his guess. At that moment, the needle pointed to the punctual moment, and suddenly there was a horrible commotion in front of the console.

The nasa engineer at the bottom of the screen of a station suddenly pointed to somewhere on the screen and shouted in an uncontrollable mood.

"It’s auspicious! I saw it!"

Looking in the direction that the engineer pointed, Carson’s pupil collapsed into a point.

Appeared!

It is auspicious!

......

Over the moon, a dark night, a little bit of secluded arc through the cold silence.

A bright silver sky plane, like the silver shuttle from deep space, smoothly completed the track switch and slowly merged into the 127-minute track.

All the operations are done in one go, without any muddy water.

Gazing at the pitted moon, sitting on the corner of Nie Yun's mouth in the driver's seat, a smile, my heart is full of thoughts.

Go back here...

I remember the last time I came here, or two or three months ago.

Such a beautiful scene, no matter how many times you look at it, can not help but make him fascinated.

The only regret is that this time he could not stand on the piece of ashes.

However, he believes that in the not too distant future, there will be a day when the trip to the moon is as common as taking a flight across the ocean.

At that time, the little wish in his heart may not be able to talk about anything.

Stretched his hand and pressed it on the helmet. Nie Yun said with a clear voice.

"...here is the auspicious, we have successfully entered the track."

After a brief pause, there was a noisy voice coming from the communication channel.

"...This is the ground command center. I am very glad to hear this news. Your mission has been halfway successful... Now go to the designated airspace and go to the next stage."

"Roger that!"

Stretching his hand on the control panel, Nie Yun switched the flight mode from the orbit mode to the automatic cruise mode, and skillfully opened the door pressure measurement system.

Sitting in the co-pilot position, Nie confirmed the data between the plane and the moon on the rangefinder, and said with a chat and chat.

"The orbital altitude is normal and it is approaching the target area... Maybe we can hurry up. If the situation is optimistic, we may be able to catch the test flight of Xiaguang."

After hearing her, Nie Yun smiled and said: "Don't think about it, the test pilot has already decided, it is the young man in the two space brigades."

Nie Wei’s expression sighed with regret and regret: “Is it? It’s really a pity.”

It is said that the Xiaguang has a dual-wing design, and four of the five engines can control the spray direction at a large angle. This new type of aircraft will be able to complete flights from the surface to the surrounding track sections in a safer and safer manner.

Such an aircraft is definitely more interesting to drive than the auspicious.

Nie Yun: "There is nothing to regret, we have other test flights, I promise you will be interested."

Nie Wei: "What test mission?"

Nie Yun said with a smile: "Your old line, open the transport plane ... between the Earth and Moon orbit and the geosynchronous orbit."

Some time ago, he heard that Star Technology is considering the use of the auspicious propulsion system to develop an interplanetary propulsion spacecraft that can be transferred to the fast-forward.

If the research is successful, it may not be long before the auspicious name is about to withdraw from the stage of history.

At least, withdraw from the civilian launch mission.

Nie Yi rolled her eyes: "I would rather drive the Xiangrui. I originally applied for this task because I was bored with the transport."

Nie Yun said with a pleasant tone: "Is it not because you can fly higher?"

Nie Wei: "There is both... we are here!"

The two people have arrived in the target area during the talk.

The path of the flight, which is gradually deviating from the 127-minute track, enters an elliptical orbit.

This is the best place to place a lunar satellite. Under the combined action of the Earth and the sun and the lunar gravity, the core cabin running in this orbit can be maintained for up to 36 months without the aid of a propulsion system. Stable operation.

And with the help of the propulsion system, only a small amount of working fluid and energy is needed, which is enough to maintain the space station for a period of decades and stay in this quiet track forever...

After confirming the orbital parameters and restraining the excitement in the heart, Nie Yun took a deep breath and reached out to the side of the helmet, speaking with a steady and firm voice.

“Here is the auspicious, we have arrived at the space station to deliver the track.”

Not long after, the order of the ground command came.

"...start the cargo hold!"

"Received," Nie Wei on the co-pilot exchanged a firm look. He reached out and lifted the safety gate of the cargo compartment, then pressed the red button that popped up.

"Opening the cargo hold!"

A slight muffled sound floated up the soles of the feet. With a slow shaking, the silver-white cylindrical spacecraft was thrown by the auspicious to the deep space behind him...

Looking at the four separate green characters that popped up on the screen, Nie Yun said loudly with an excited voice.

"The cargo hold started successfully!"

"The Moon Palace successfully entered the scheduled orbit!"

"We have succeeded!"-

(The new January starts again, ask for the monthly ticket ah~哎, so excited, going to parachute tomorrow, it is said that there are 13,000 feet, I don’t know if I can fly so high. In short, this is for the sake of materials! Insurance has already bought, everyone Wish me luck!)
