I have a little black hole

The Lunar Landing Probe No. 2 in front of me is a spare probe. It is now in the same package as the No. 1 that has been ready to launch and has been installed in the Juergen 2 heavy-duty recyclable rocket. In the case of ensuring that No. 1 launch fails, it can be re-launched in the shortest time, without delaying the time node of the detection plan.

Of course, even if the No. 1 was successfully launched, it is not that the No. 2 is useless. The moon is so big. If you want to detect it, you have to detect it by a landing detector. Even if it is this The weight of the landing detector is as high as 14.7 tons. There are several kinds of detectors and related experimental carriers. However, if you want to complete all relevant detection tasks efficiently, you must still have more landing detectors. Added to the mission.

This weight may not be understood by everyone, so refer to the Chang'e-3 mission in China. Just like the Chang'e-3 probe, the'Moon Palace Pathfinder' probe is also composed of a lander and a patrol (commonly known as a lunar rover). Composition.After the detector landed on the moon, the payload carried by the detector was scientifically detected with the support of the measurement and control system and the ground application system.

However, the total weight of all the loads of Chang'e-3 is only 3780 kg. If you remove other weights such as deceleration fuel required when the lander descends, then its dry weight is only 1220 kg, which is specific to the weight of the Yutu Lunar Rover. It’s only 140 kilograms. By comparing this figure, you can know what the total weight of 14.7 tons is.

The total weight is nearly four times heavier than Chang'e 3, and the dry weight is also 10.4 tons. You should know that a heavy tractor is usually between 8 and 9 tons. Its dry weight is even greater than that of a heavy truck. Heavy, you can imagine how much detection equipment and experimental carriers you can carry!

But even if this is the case, the detection range of a landing probe is very small, but the range of the moon needs to be so large, there are all kinds of geological conditions, and it is certainly not possible to rely on it alone, so even the No. 1 probe is smooth Was successfully launched, and 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 actual action display, so after understanding the situation here, Lei Tiantang took Kaila with Zhang Hanxiu Later, I went to visit the Mars Landing Probe. The testing work of the "New Homeland Trailblazer" Mars Landing Probe is still ongoing.

After satisfying his curiosity, Lei Tiantang would not be able to continue to disturb Zhang Hanxiu's work, and took Kyla to walk around the base himself, and then waited for the official launch to look over again.

Of course, this launch mission is also concerned by the media. Although the detection of the moon landing has long been nothing new, but the completion of this work before can only be completed by the national power to complete such a complex system project. This time the infinite gravity group Such a private company is also going to carry out such a lunar exploration project, and its own news attention is very high, not to mention the name of this company is the infinite gravity group!

This name represents news attention!However, because the launch has not started yet, there are not many reporters who arrived at the scene. However, these reporters who chose to arrive early did not live up to their waiting. The scene where Lei Tiantang and Kai La appeared also attracted a wave of attention. Degree.

However, even if the launch was successful, everyone will pay most attention to it for a while, because everyone is most concerned about whether the probe can successfully land on the moon. This is the sign of whether the launch mission is truly successful.

Under the attention of the reporters and the attention of netizens, the'Juling 2'heavy-duty recyclable rocket bundled with two auxiliary boosters rose up in a huge roar and crossed a beautiful arc The line was successfully lifted off, and the'Moon Palace Pathfinder' No. 1 probe was launched directly into a ground-moon transfer orbit with a perigee height of 200 kilometers and an apogee height of about 380,000 kilometers.

Next, it will need to fly for a few days to reach the moon. At that time, the formal landing procedure will start, and everyone is following that time, but even if it is successfully launched, it is also a very encouraging achievement.

Xiong Antai and Zhang Hanxiu and all the participants of this project were very excited. In addition to the necessary supervisors on duty, other people held a small celebration in the cafeteria with Lei Tiantang that evening, of course, the more important celebration The activity will also be carried out after the landing probe successfully landed on the moon's surface and officially started work. At that time, all members can participate!

"Welcome leaders to visit our'Gaia' base!" Lei Tiantang smiled and greeted the leaders who visited the detector landing operation together with the company's top management at the base.

Several days have passed since the successful launch of the'Moon Palace Pathfinder' No. 1 probe. The probe flew quite fast, and it was less than 5 days. It reached the moon. The probe began to decelerate and passed the main The ignition of the engine took about 5 minutes, and the detector successfully entered the elliptical ring orbit of 100 kilometers by 400 kilometers.

This means that the landing procedure is about to begin. At this time, the focus of this mission is very high. Even many leaders are taking time out of their busy schedule to witness this last step. This is not to satisfy any curiosity, the moon Landing probes landed on these leaders and everyone has seen them, there is nothing strange.

They chose to come to visit and inspect at this time, in order to cheer the Infinite Gravity Group. After all, this mission also created a history. Private companies have fully participated in the lunar exploration program. So far, there is only one such company. Which country should be valued, let alone this company is still infinite gravity group!

The most important point is that the national side of the launching mission of Infinite Gravity Group is also deeply involved in it. As early as the design of the "Moon Palace Pathfinder" No. 1 detector of Infinite Gravity Group, the national side made this mission Provided a lot of help, the success experience of the Chang'e series of missions was sent over unreservedly, so that the deep space laboratory took a lot of detours.

The latter also provides a lot of help in the subsequent 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 progress of technological exchanges is in this cooperation. Achieved in China is a model of in-depth cooperation.
