Chapter 238 Full Test of Rail Shuttle

There are many test tasks today, so when the outside audience exclaimed "Niu Bian", the follow-up test tasks have already begun.

Looking at the big screen, Tang Chao ordered into the microphone: "The second phase of the mission begins, Du Kangsheng, you continue to stay in the cockpit to monitor the data to ensure the status of the shuttle, Li Yuling, it's time for you to play."

"understand."

This time, we will simulate all the tasks, including providing services to passengers in a weightless state, such as distributing meals, providing towels, using heating and cooling devices, and being responsible for scenery explanations. There are still many requirements.

Although Li Yuling is inferior to Du Kang's main pilot in terms of aircraft driving expertise, her co-pilot is definitely strong enough in terms of versatility.

After she said that she pressed a button on the seat, the seat moved backwards and turned in a circle, from facing the console to facing the hatch, and then she raised her floating hand to unlock the floating seat belt .

"Crack~"

The unfastened seat belt naturally floated to both sides, and her body naturally floated.

Li Yuling didn't make a stand up movement, it was just the result of her body touching the seat many times when she unfastened the seat belt just now.

The effect of force is mutual, especially in space without gravity, this phenomenon can be manifested vividly.

After she floated away from the seat, she supported her with both hands on the top of the cabin, and immediately fell to the ground with the help of the reaction force, and then stepped gently, and she floated towards the cabin door.

Before entering space, their weightlessness training was done in a pool. This was the first time they entered space. Fortunately, they didn’t need to perform various professional-level space missions, spacewalk maintenance, scientific research, etc. , So it’s no problem to only carry out some activities in the cabin.

When "Dart X" completes this manned mission, the Starry Sky Inn is also in orbit. The future astronauts will be fine. They can take the orbital shuttle to space for special weightlessness training.

Of course, astronauts trained in that way are not only performing such simple flight service tasks, they will perform extravehicular maintenance and construction, lunar landing, and even farther and more difficult deep space exploration missions.

As the first batch of private astronauts, they all know some of the company’s plans that require astronauts, because they are already doing some training, but no matter what they will do in the future, it is true that the test is done first today. .

"Inhale~Exhale~"

Taking a deep breath, she passed through the middle section, opened the cabin door and entered the cabin.

Today’s cabin is equipped with a lot of supplies and experimental equipment, all of which are used to cope with the test task behind, which is not needed now. Her current task target is the camera on the first customer seat...

Yes, there are no passengers, and if you have to simulate and show the scene of serving passengers, then you can only simulate the camera.

"Hello, this passenger. You are on the 000th test flight of Navigator Space Travel. I am the flight attendant of this flight. Do you feel unwell? Do you have dizziness or vomiting..."

With a greeting, the second phase of the test mission began. To the "passengers", Li Yuling demonstrated very professional space services.

And as far as space services are concerned, Navigator will do this. Every seat in the "spacecraft" of other space tourism companies is precious, not even a pilot, let alone a flight attendant.

During the test, she showed the space meals prepared by Navigator's space travel department. They are all standard configurations, but they will be adjusted according to the needs of passengers before each takeoff.

For example, if passengers like to eat western food, the travel department will prepare western food. If the passenger likes Chinese food, the travel department will prepare Chinese food, which is rich in variety, delicious and affordable.

Space meals are included in the ticket, and of course it is affordable.

And it contains staple foods, non-staple foods, desserts and soups, as well as wet tissues and chewing gum.

After that, there will be another charge.

For example, if you want hot towels, hot black tea, ice cream, fresh fruits, etc., you have to add money.

Not cheap yet.

No way, the space travel company has to do it.

Even if there is a spacecraft that can be put into orbit by itself and reused, its pre-manufacturing costs, as well as the later fuel, maintenance, repair, and personnel costs are also very expensive, the same as the cost of transporting an apple to space not cheap.

Navigator will give other space tourism a "good start" in this regard.

After all, Tang Chao intends to make money by selling orbital shuttles.

After introducing the catering service, she also showed how to watch the space landscape, how to move in a weightless state, how to vomit gracefully, etc. Anyway, there are many ways.

This test can basically be used as a teaching film.

That's not to mention, when the space tourism flights are officially opened in the future, tourists will arrive at the space tourism department one day in advance.

There, they will learn some things that space travel needs to know in a relaxed atmosphere, and by the way check their physical conditions to determine the minimum physical standards that are suitable for space travel.

Although the orbital shuttle has reduced the orbiting conditions a lot, and the comfort has also been improved a lot, but after all, it is going to space, not a picnic in the park. Some of the most basic conditions must be guaranteed.

After the service display in the cabin was over, the window introduced the beautiful scenery that tourists can see, such as viewing the earth from different angles, two space stations, a clearer moon, constellations, etc., and then Li Yuling returned to the co-pilot seat on.

"I heard everything," Du Kangsheng said to her: "Very smooth and perfect presentation."

"Thank you."

Li Yuling smiled and gave him a response, and the two slapped back.

"Slap~"

This palm almost pushed Li Yuling out of her seat.

"Uh, sorry." Du Kangsheng grinned.

"Haha, it's okay."

After Li Yuling fastened the seat belts, the two continued to perform the mission, and the next step was to ascend to dock with the Tiangong space station.

Tang Chao has already talked with the Tianxia Space Agency. They allow this manned test flight to dock with the space station. As long as the test passes successfully, they will immediately authorize it.

Now the pre-test tasks have been successfully completed, the shuttle has no abnormal conditions, and no one has tested it many times before, and there has been no abnormality. It even reached a height of 1100 kilometers during the test, and barely entered the middle-high orbit, and then was safe. return.

So after confirming that the test went well, the space agency immediately granted the authorization.

However, Tang Chao's authorization is still needed here.

I saw him calmly speaking into the microphone again: "Authorize the third phase of the test task."

"understand"

The two astronauts replied.

In an instant, the barrage became lively again.

"Finally here, we are going to dock with the space station!"

"Although it is not the first private space company to dock with the space station, it is the first private space company to use an orbital shuttle to dock with the space station, and it has also manned people.

"This time is truly a new era of spaceflight, and humans can finally enter space more easily and conveniently!"

"Calm down first, this hasn't been successfully connected yet, what are you happy about, if the connection fails, there are times when you cry."

"Fuck, do you know how to speak, shut up if you don't speak."

"Yes, shut up, ah, Tang Chao is so handsome!"
