Super technology leader

"In fact, this is a Mars mission conducted in conjunction with Europa Space Agency. It is a'Mars Sampling Return' program. It is divided into three phases and the time span is ten years!"

This is a great and cumbersome mission to Mars. Considering the professions and professions present here, Jim's words are as simple and understandable as possible.

"The'Perseverance' rover that landed on the surface of Mars in February is just the first step. It will carry out a Mars sample collection mission according to the'site cache' strategy while carrying out a patrol and exploration mission.

"It will carry 43 sample storage tubes in the shape of a small flashlight. They will be loaded with carefully selected samples of Martian rock and gravel. After being sealed, they will not be contaminated."

"The entire collection task will last for several years. Some of the sample tubes will be stored in the Perseverance, and the other part will be stored on its path. One batch will be stored at intervals to spread the risk."

"Three Mars transfer windows, that is, six and a half years later, we will launch a probe that can take off from the surface of Mars into orbit, land near the landing site of Perseverance, and release a miniature of about 130kg in mass and the size of a coffee table. Transfer car."

"The transfer vehicle does not carry scientific instruments. Its job is to collect the sample tubes stored on the Perseverance and load them into the probe's mini rocket. The collection process is expected to take nearly 6 months."

"If the Perseverance still works normally, it can also transport the remaining sample tubes to the small rocket, which separates the risks. If one car strikes, another car will work."

"After another Martian window, that is, two years and two months later, we will launch a device that can return from Mars to Mars orbit, the mini rocket will lift off, dock with the return device, and send the sample tube into the protection of the returner. Inside the hood, the final sample weight will be between 600 and 800 grams."

"This kind of protective cover is the same as the teddy bear doll. It has four protections to ensure that the Martian sample will not leak and contaminate the earth, and it will not be contaminated by the earth. After the handover is completed, the mini rocket is separated from the return device and the returner flies to the earth. ."

"After entering the earth's orbit, there are actually two options. One is to land directly in the western desert and send it to a ground laboratory for research, and the other is to be captured by the International Space Station, using the space station as a'firewall' and directly Research in the space station."

"It's only ten years later. I don't know what will happen to the status of the International Space Station, so the last step is still undecided."

Jim gave a brief overview of the task process. As soon as he paused, Kuna spoke, "Director Jim, it's not that I want to interrupt you, nor that I don't understand."

"I just want to remind you that we don't have much time. Mr. President is about to wake up. Don't talk about things after ten years. We can't wait for ten years. Can you directly talk about your plan?"

"..."

Jim was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at the others, all with an expression of big eyes and small eyes.

"Xiete, you laymen, he just doesn't understand."

"Okay, let me make it simple."

He waved helplessly.

In fact, he is the director of the space agency who understands that Wang Airborne, and he is not an aerospace system. He first started flying fighter jets on aircraft carriers, then became a member of the House of Representatives in politics, and finally was nominated by Wang to become the director of aerospace.

But in order to control the astronautics and space agency, in order to be able to talk to and get support from those big tech guys, he learned a lot, so now in this conference room, among a bunch of politicians, soldiers, secret agents, clerks, he Instead, he became an expert.

"Simply put, we can shorten the ten-year period to three and a half years. The Perseverance will not make long-distance cruises, but will only sample at close distances."

"The next Mars window will launch two rockets at once, and the mini rocket and the return device will be launched together. They will fly for seven months. The small rocket will land and transport the sample to orbit, and then dock and return."

"In this case, we can get a sample of Mars in three and a half years, the only one in the world!"

"I can guarantee that there will be no Mars plan on Tianxia in a short period of time. According to their steady and steady character, they will stay on the moon for a long time. We can definitely become the first country in the world to get a sample of Mars."

After listening to this plan, Kuna was overjoyed, "Oh, this is good, Jim, this is all we need."

"Okay," Jim nodded, turning his head and said: "Because the time has been shortened, there are some key technologies that need to be urgently resolved, including non-traditional ground fire and Homan transfer flights, sample collection and storage of exoplanets, and sterilization. With planetary protection, first Mars launch into orbit, sample Mars orbit transfer..."

Halfway through his speech, he found that everyone was looking at him baffledly, making him unable to speak anymore, so he summed it up.

"Got more money!"

"It's easy to say," Kuna swept it all out, "As long as he can get this number one, Mr. President will definitely be able to convince Congress."

"Also, the plan to return to the moon cannot be stopped, and even accelerated. We want to send the first woman to the moon. This is also very important. With regard to funding, I think Mr. President can convince those female congressmen and the nation woman."

"Okay, as long as the money is in place and the president and Congress support it, then the plan will be fine."

Jim is calm on the surface and ecstatic in his heart, because this is a good opportunity to increase power and make money.

After understanding Wang woke up, Kuna said about it, and he was not blamed, but was praised instead.

From Wang Wang's point of view, he cared about the moon before, and just wanted to gain some merit from it. Later, when he writes history, he will have a few more names and it is best to call himself "the best president."

Now that he has a better plan and is absolutely the only one in the world, he certainly has to support it.

With this new Mars plan, the sequence of the plan to return to the moon in his mind is of course a little bit backward. He doesn't care about the first woman to land on the moon, because a certain woman has competed with him for the position of president. So he doesn't catch a cold to women.

But he can get more money from Congress and support more women, and he is willing to do it.

In fact, he most wants to amend the constitution, remove the rule that the president can only serve two terms, and then be re-elected for two or three terms. It is best to become the first president in the history of Meriken to be re-elected for five terms.

If necessary, he can immediately put a new label on himself.

With a new goal, he arrogantly went to the Congress to ask for money, which lasted two days.

No way, the process here is cumbersome.

Not only is it cumbersome, but also bad guys make trouble!

Those who stop him are bad guys!

Two days later, his seventh meeting began, and the world's attention was once again focused on Tianxia's Binhai Space Launch Center.

Then focus on the moon through the large screen at the launch center.

To be precise, it focused on the Lunar Laboratory on the Moon Palace 2.

During the live broadcast, the camera on the Moon Palace 2 can already see the moon clearly, and it is in the final phase of orbiting the moon.

And because the Moon Palace 2 is super huge, the additional antenna power is also large, giving the live broadcast a qualitative leap.

The moonback signal of this live broadcast is still supported by Queqiao Satellite.

Interestingly, a foreign lunar exploration satellite accidentally took photos of Lunar Palace II, and they were also circulated on the Internet, which increased the visibility of this mission.
