Chapter 231 Smooth landing

The inspection of the standby orbit lasted for 3 hours. At this time, the spacecraft was still one quarter of the week before entering the "point" of the moon orbit. In the spirit of a great man who had to seize the day for ten thousand years, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Comrade Ma Guoyi, the third-stage rocket of the Long March 10 was launched, carrying the Chasing Tian 1 spacecraft and four astronauts began to accelerate in orbit. The acceleration process was also a process of leaving the standby orbit and cutting into the moon orbit. In the end, the Chasing Tian 1 spacecraft successfully entered the Chasing Tian 1 orbit at a speed of 11.5 kilometers per second.

The orbit of the moon is elliptical, reaching the back of the moon at a distance, with a range of 384,000 kilometers and an estimated time of 58 hours. On the long orbit of the moon, the four astronauts did not sleep, but had a lot to do, adjusting the positions of each cabin, separating the spacecraft from the third-stage rocket, uninterrupted orbit correction, checking various instrument systems,...

In the orbit of the moon, the gravity of the earth and the gravity of the moon are combined to the spacecraft. First, the gravity of the earth is greater than the gravity of the moon, and the spacecraft will slow down. After passing a point, the gravity of the moon will be greater than the gravity of the earth. At this time, the spacecraft will run towards the moon even if there is no power. The increase and decrease of the gravity of the earth and the moon will change the orbit of the spacecraft, so astronauts must adjust the orbit in real time to ensure that the spacecraft will not derail.

The astronauts were not just four of them fighting, and there were thousands of people on Earth who were fighting day and night. Although Comrade Li Erdan was not a member of the space center, he seemed to be very concerned about the Republic's lunar landing career. He was eating and drinking in the aerospace city. If he had nothing to do, he would sit in the accusation center to see where the moon landing was going and whether everything went smoothly.

The ground command and control center collects data sent by tracking bases, tracking stations, tracking aircraft and communication satellites around the world in real time. The computer keeps working, reporting the accurate position and speed of the spacecraft, and directing the spacecraft to slow down.

Comrade Li Gang, the driver of the command cabin, held the joystick tightly with both hands and stared at the instrument in a daze. If the computer malfunctions, change the hand control in time.

Qian Long and Sun Sheng, the chief and co-pilot of the lunar module, kept reporting the data on the instrument loudly...

...

57 hours, 38 minutes and 51 seconds after launch, the computer issued a command - the service cabin rocket spits fire in the reverse direction.

The spacecraft begins to slow down, and when the speed drops to a predetermined value, the computer issues a ceasefire command.

Everything was so accurate and smooth. My Zhutian 1 spacecraft entered an elliptical orbit around the moon, only 119 kilometers away from the moon.

It is still one last step away from landing on the moon. The whole Chinese people celebrated the whole country, and the people of the world held their breath and were waiting for the moment when the landing on the moon was successful. Comrade Li Erdan's heart was in his throat because he knew that the spacecraft I Chasing Tian 1 was being monitored by the Atlantis and could be attacked at any time.

After a little gossip, after one and a half weeks orbiting the moon, the service cabin rockets spit fire again in the opposite direction, and the spacecraft's speed further decreased. Astronauts were always preparing for landing the moon. After circling the moon for 6 laps, Zhao Wei, Qian Long, Sun Sheng, and three astronauts took the lunar module and separated from the mother ship's service cabin, and started the descent rocket to enter the elliptical descending orbit. The service cabin piloted by Li Gang continued to fly on the original track, waiting for the lunar module to return from the moon and then return to Earth together.

The lunar module landing on the moon is a thrilling process. Whether the dream of landing in the Republic can be realized is all in one fell swoop. The ratings of the lunar live broadcast reached the highest level in this process. Many colleges and universities chose to suspend classes, and teachers and students stayed in front of the live TV and witnessed the miracle together. The South China Sea Rights Center, senior leaders put down their work and watched the live broadcast without blinking...

The astronauts of the lunar module, the staff of the ground command and control center, and several supercomputers are working nervously, just to achieve one goal, so that the lunar module I descended to maintain the correct posture and accurate accuracy of three or four decimal places, and must achieve a soft landing within range. The attitude control and speed control must be completed by the engine, the lowering engine, the small brake engine, the landing precision adjustment engine, and other various engines. The closer the lunar module is to the moon, the greater the gravity and the greater the control, but everything is under control.

13000 meters, 10000 meters, 8000 meters,...

The meticulousness of the spacecraft designers and command and control personnel was reported, and the spacecraft landed at a height of 100 meters in green light.

The height is 100 meters, the speed is 2.1 meters per second.

The height is 50 meters, the speed is 1.2 meters per second.

The height is 20 meters, the speed is 0.1 meters per second.

...

With a click, the landing lights were on, and the lunar module hit the ground with three legs, and dust rose everywhere. At this moment, the time of the capital was 18:40,26 seconds. People will remember this moment forever, because at this moment, the Chinese nation's dream of landing on the moon for thousands of years finally became a reality.

In the ground command and control center, the staff applause and excited screams came one after another, and everyone cheered, some were so excited that they burst into tears, and some hugged each other tightly.

The cheers were not only the staff of the command and control center. The whole of China was cheering, and the streets were empty.

In the command and control center, there was a guy who was very out of place. He sat on a stool like a god, holding a donkey face, and staring at the big screen with bright eyes, motionless, without even blinking his eyes.

"Comrade Li, we succeeded, we succeeded." The person who spoke was Comrade Ma Guoyi, the commander-in-chief of the moon. He was so excited that he came up and gave Li Erdan a bear hug.

But Li Erdan said with disrespect, "It's not a success! It's not too late to celebrate after the four astronauts return to Earth."

Comrade Ma Guoyi calmed down instantly and said, "Yes, you said it right. Let's celebrate again when the four astronauts come home safely."

Although the lunar module landed on the moon, the three astronauts inside could not go out immediately. As planned, they had to check the lunar module first, and then sleep and eat to nourish their energy. The three astronauts could not wait, and the audience in front of the TV could not wait. With the approval of the command and control center, they had only rested for two hours in the lunar module before leaving the cabin.
