"It's about to dock, get closer, get closer!"

"Looking at it this way, the orbital shuttle is really big. The core cabin and the Tianzhou spacecraft on the axis add up to just over 27 meters. The node cabin and the next Wentian experimental cabin add up to less than 20 meters because they need to be docked. It, the manned spacecraft has moved under the node compartment. Without the solar panels, it is basically the same as an orbital shuttle with a length of 25 meters and a wingspan of 20 meters."

"In fact, it's not that the orbital shuttle is big, it's just that the Tiangong space station is small now, just like the space shuttle docked with the International Space Station back then. In contrast, the space shuttle is also huge."

"I have also seen the docking CG between the starship of the Space Fork and the International Space Station, hahaha, the International Space Station is not as big as a starship."

"It would be good for humans to have a huge space station. I don't know if they can see it in their lifetime."

"Humans are still too weak, how can this fight aliens?"

"Is this still weak? Didn’t someone say that Merrican would modify two space shuttles? Ask me to say which space shuttle to change. This orbital shuttle is the best carrier for space fighters. It is the basis of this orbital shuttle. Change it to a space fighter, and equip it with a thousand. When the aliens come, let them stay in the orbit of the earth and turn them into a'earth ring', making them cry!"

"What do you think? There is an extra star ring on the earth, and it will be even more difficult for humans to enter space again. What bad ideas do you have!"

"Damn, I finally pay attention to the a little more peaceful space news, just waiting for commercial space tourism, can you stop it?"

"Yes, I keep talking about aliens and aliens. Where are the aliens? I don't even know if the thing in the orbit of Mars is an alien probe or not. I keep talking about aliens, don’t aliens. Before people come, you scare yourself to death."

"Stop talking, it's starting to match, isn't it okay to concentrate on the live broadcast..."

But no, when some people started arguing about some inexplicable things, the orbital shuttle in space was already very close to the unfinished Tiangong space station.

Its counter port opened, and the square counter port stretched out and shrank into a round counter port, facing the counter port of the space station. Under the action of the attitude adjustment nozzle, it slowly leaned up.

"Crack~"

Looking at the docking screen displayed by the surveillance camera, the sound transmitted into the cockpit through solid vibrations let the two astronauts know that the aircraft and the space station have touched, and then the flight control computer prompts with a pleasant female voice: "The docking is complete, and the air tightness is good. , The air pressure is being balanced."

"Get ready, it's time for us to play."

Du Kangsheng said and took off his helmet.

He had been wearing a helmet before. Li Yuling took it off for a while during the simulated introduction, and then put it on again after returning.

This is the first manned test, so it is important to pay attention to safety. After it is confirmed that the orbital shuttle is different from the manned spacecraft and has higher safety, it can be the same as a civil airliner without wearing a helmet at all times.

At that time, it is time to start commercial space tourism.

When the two took off their helmets, they heard a pleasant female voice and prompted: "The air pressure is over and the hatch can be opened at any time."

This time can be much faster than the normal flat pressing time.

And the audience who watched the live broadcast heard this reminder. They also knew that the critical moment was coming. They watched the two pilots float to the docking hatch. At this time, the screen of the Tiangong Space Station was also connected to the live broadcast. The movements of a total of five astronauts can be seen.

Du Kangsheng first opened the door of the shuttle, and then the station commander Wang Ping on the other side of the space station opened the door of the space station.

The moment the hatch opened, the people on the ground cheered, and the people in space cheered.

"Welcome to the Tiangong Space Station."

"Thank you, how are you guys!"

"Hahaha, newcomers are here, welcome!"

"Hello!"

The five astronauts hugged and shook hands, with various welcome words on their lips. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Du Kangsheng and Li Yuling were not the first group of "private astronauts" to enter space and the space station. After all, there have been rich people who bought tickets for manned spacecraft to enter the International Space Station before.

"Dart X" is not the first private spacecraft to send astronauts into space and dock with the space station. After all, it has a Crew Dragon spacecraft with a space fork in front.

But the combination of the two is the first time that a private space company’s spacecraft has sent private astronauts into the space station.

Not to mention that this mission of "Dart X" still has many auras.

For example, it is the first single-stage manned spacecraft on Earth.

It is also a single-stage orbital shuttle, which can be reused.

The astronauts it carries are professional astronauts, not just space tourists.

These auras have strengthened its "prestige" time and time again, and also brought today's wonderful performance.

After the five astronauts laughed, Du Kangsheng said to Wang Ping: "Would you like to go to the'darts'? We can bring you many gifts."

He also made a gesture of asking.

It's just that at this moment, he is supporting the roof of the space station with his other hand, and his feet are hooked on the fixing ring on the floor, which is quite unique.

"Of course, this is the first time we have received this form of gift." Wang Ping said happily.

As a result, Du Kangsheng and Li Yuling had just arrived at the space station from the orbital shuttle, and now they have taken the lead back, with three space station astronauts behind.

The 2.5-ton load capacity of the "Dart X" orbital shuttle is not outstanding compared to the specialized cargo spacecraft, especially when compared with the cargo spacecraft of the major aerospace powers with a payload of about 6 tons.

But it is not a special cargo aircraft. Its main function is to carry people more securely, and cargo is only incidental.

Even to be transported, some high-precision and valuable items that are particularly sensitive to vibration and pressure are carried.

This time it has such a task.

The pilot company has produced some experimental equipment, and there are some related equipment in the space station. This docking experiment just brought those equipment and results back to the ground and replaced them with new experimental equipment.

In addition to these, I also brought a lot of supplies.

Such as fresh fruit.

This thing is rare in the space station, and more are nutritional pills and brewing powder, so every time fresh fruit appears in the supplement, they can be happy for a while.

Yes, fresh fruit is not only good for the body, but also good for the spirit, it can play a good mental regulation effect.

So after entering, Du Kangsheng first opened the fruit package, then took out a green apple and threw it to Wang Ping: "Here, the fresh green apple is refreshing, crisp, sweet and sour."

"Wuhu, your gift is awesome!" Astronaut Liang Junming said with a cheer.

Wang Ping took the floating green apple and smelled the unique smell of fresh fruit, and handed it to Wu Yue, who was full of surprises next to him, and said: “First move everything to the resource compartment. I think today’s dinner will definitely be. Very rich."

"Yes, move things!"

"Haha, I will move this bag of apples!"

"Stop playing tricks, the five of us formed a conveyor belt and let everything float over."

"Hey, listen to the stationmaster, two people, we prepared a lot of delicious food today, and took out all the things we usually eat to improve our meals..."
