‘猎户座’空降火星
Chapter 558:‘猎户座’空降火星
“What news?”Ren Hong asked curiously.
“The American Noah has just entered the orbit of Mars and relayed the news back to Earth, and NASA then announced the news and its follow-up actions, according to a text message from the headquarters.”Shockley looked at the time and added, “In 53 hours, the Americans will make their first manned Mars landings on the Orion spacecraft in 53 hours.”
With that said, Shockry sighed: "If it is not surprising, the first person to land on Mars will be American, or a little reluctant, the first person on the moon was robbed by the Americans, the first person on Mars was also robbed by them, it is really uncomfortable, our current level of space technology, the strength is obviously stronger than the Americans."
"It's just a false name, what's so uncomfortable."He laughed, not seeming to care.
But Shockre did not think so: "That being said, but after all, this is an achievement that will surely go down in the annals of human history, with great influence, Armstrong's footprint, a small step of a human giant, the words of a big step of mankind, are widely circulated in all mankind."This time I don't know how the Americans will show off."
He said, “What is real influence?The real influence is the need for real strength as a support, we are pragmatic, we are to seek truth, not to seek the name, you have to understand this, Arie.Besides, the title of the first man on Mars was taken off by the Americans, but there are many more first titles waiting for us, Jupiter, Saturn, and their moons, as long as the strength is, the gold content of these first titles will only be higher than Mars, but the most important thing is that our long journey of risk and dozens of times to increase and decrease the speed of the torture is not to come here to get a false name, understand.
"If only the old beauty of the 'Orion' something went wrong."Shockley muttered.
Ren Hong listened, the original pleasant smile into a serious look, staring at Shockery with a solemn tone warning: "Arie, I don't like your thoughts, very bad."The national boundaries stand at the height of the entire civilization, and any interstellar pioneer is great, no matter which country he represents not only his country but also human beings.Even if it is not so high, it is not possible to curse others behind the back with such a narrow thought, he can make problems, we can even ignore rejection even if we have the ability to lend a hand, which is our right, and there is no need to blame.But we also have no right to interfere with others, and what others do is someone else's business, and we must abide by the principles we should."
Ren Hong's tone is not very heavy, but Shockley is still embarrassed, scratching his head and not knowing how to respond.At this moment, the public frequency broadcaster on the ship sounded:
"Note to all units and crew members, the last 45 minutes of the countdown, the spacecraft will be the last acceleration, all crew members please immediately stop all related activities..."
Ren Hong glanced at the eyecaster, suddenly said with a sad face: "Oh, it's time to torture people again, let's go, let's go, what to do, hurry to get the nest ready to sleep, do you want to let the acceleration paste you on the wall?"
Speaking, Ren Hong got up and walked, every time the spacecraft to accelerate, is the whole ship is a moment of complaint, the ship is about to carry out the last acceleration, according to the reason that everyone should cheer, at least this is the last time the acceleration torture, indeed.
But as long as you think of the end of the acceleration, the next time will also be 15 times to reduce the speed, so that the spacecraft arrived at the Mars gravitational field range, the speed dropped to the numerical range from the earth departure stage, this is another 15 times of torture, the thought of 15 times, think of the exit that no one can cheer.
Ren Hong was bored thinking about this kind of thing that cost himself to make himself suffer, it was like a masochism to get rid of.
That being said, despite the 30 tortures, but not without return, Ren Hong's spacecraft can also be like "Noah" for a long time as the continuous slight acceleration, but the corresponding cost is more than 200 days wasted on the voyage that can not be done, and Ren Hong if they are in the relative distance between the Earth and Mars before departure in accordance with the "Noah" way to Mars, which will mean more than 800 days before reaching Mars.
30 times of torture can be exchanged for more than 700 days of valuable time, how to count it is worth it.
The old Americans want to be tortured without this opportunity.
After 45 minutes, the front engine on the Mars Express was started, hundreds of thousands of lasers were shining on the light sail, and the spacecraft that was slowly slowing down accelerated again.
The reason why the spacecraft at this moment to produce a very small slow deceleration phenomenon is because of the solar wind factor, "Mars Express" did not put away the light sail, the front engine stopped the energy output, the solar wind will naturally use the huge area of light sail to force the spacecraft to slow down, hesitate to use the third layer of light sails to the sun to ask for energy, so can not put the multi-layer structure of the light sails.
After the front engine operates, some of the thrust generated counteracts the resistance from the solar wind and begins to accelerate...
...
25 June 2028.High-altitude orbit of Mars, the time on the Noah ship: 15:36.
“9...8...7...” A crew member controls Noah while reading the countdown, and the Orion spacecraft at the head of the spacecraft, Skovo and Jackson, are ready.
“...2...1 hull separated!”
In the silent orbit of Mars, the Orion spacecraft and Noah officially separated, carrying two crew members landing on the surface of the planet Orion spacecraft began to cut into the Martian atmosphere.
The spacecraft entered the Martian atmosphere at a speed of 19,300 kilometers per hour, and the outside of the hull quickly became hot and deformed, which is a normal phenomenon, but it is not as serious as the Earth, because the Martian atmosphere is thin and the planet's gravity is not as good as the Earth."Oydin" spacecraft to super high speed into the Martian atmosphere, due to atmospheric friction, the temperature outside the hull of the thermal insulation screen almost reached the same temperature as the sun's surface, reaching more than 1450 degrees Celsius, good for thermal insulation screen protection, the ship's internal temperature is only about 20 degrees Celsius.
Over time, the speed of the first phase of the Orion spacecraft dropped by thousands of kilometers per hour.The spacecraft kept falling, the height gap was getting smaller and smaller, at this time, a huge parachute was opened, and the spacecraft slowed down further.
At this moment, the back thrust of the Orion spacecraft has adjusted the angle, but the speed of the spacecraft landing is still very fast, if the impact on the surface of the planet is also the result of the ship's destruction.
The gap between the highs and lows is getting smaller and smaller, and it has dropped to a three-digit height.Just as the spacecraft was about to hit the surface of Mars, three sets of vents were frantically ejecting the tongue of fire in an instant, and instantly created dust in Pezzos Heights, and the thrust of the thrust continued to offset the speed of the spacecraft.
In the end, the Orion spacecraft was only tens of centimeters away from the surface of Mars, the tongue of the three sets of engine vents disappeared in an instant, once the engine was shut down, the spacecraft that lost its thrust was pulled by gravity on the spot, and the Mars surface collided heavily, and then remained motionless.
The two astronauts inside the spacecraft felt a strong vibration and returned to stability.
“Have arrived?”Skovo said suspiciously, but the teammate did not respond, and he replied: "It should come!"
The two men looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and the next moment was excited and ridiculous.
