The start of science and technology
Chapter 44 Space Docking
In the command center, Du Xingyu looked patiently with a bread and waited patiently.
So far, everything is fine. The nextmostmost place is the connection between the two big spatial modules!
In space, the spatial module docking is definitely a dangerous operation. And the Huaxia Space Agency has little experience before, once an accident, this task is likely to be lost!
More than an hour, the star boat has sent the power space module into the established track.
"The power module is normal, astronaut Wang Wei, Hong Wei report." In the power space module, a man and a female two astronaut reported.
"Start trial operation, adjust the angle, ready to work." Du Xingyu shouted.
"Received!" The two immediately began to prepare, half an hour, the life space module will fly.
Washington Conference Center, the International Aerospace Conference has begun.
Anderson said on the stage: "Dear representatives, now we have to discuss a serious issue."
"International Space Station, is our base in space, is critical to our space research. But now the international space station, three years will reach the life of the use. So here, we must carry out new space station projects."
In this sensitive time, the space station project is mentioned, and the national space representatives have not spoke.
Anderson continued: "We have a suggestion by our MIKA, designed a fifty space station than the current international space station. It is not only three times more mainly than the current international space station, but will have more Features."
The last international space station is so established, in fact, everyone is very clear. In addition to several Space Safens in rice, Russia and Europe, other countries have no capacity to design manufacturing space stations.
Even if you have the ability, they have no money! Going to the head, or have a big country to pay, the small country follows the quota of a spatial station.
"Let's explain this proposal in detail ..." Andon explained, some staff issued the proposal to the representatives of countries.
"This ..." The representative of the island's universe aviation research structure saw the content in the proposal, and his face changed.
In this proposal, the rice people asked their money is four times the last time! But give them very limited space!
"The price is too high!" The representative of the Canadian Space Bureau is also committed, this agreement is more than the previous international space station!
"This proposal, we don't agree, must be modified!" The Russian Space Administration said directly.
"The content of the proposal does have a place to be revised!" The representative of the European Space Bureau, such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany also issued an objection.
Open this proposal, pass the dense numbness to write two words "take money"!
The international space station dominated by the last time, it is the money of the rice, so the countries will enjoy it, and participate together. When Mi State rejected Huaxia Space Administration, they also chose silence.
This time, the rice people reached directly to find them asking for money, they can't sit.
"Dear, I think this proposal is very perfect!" Anderson said tough, "We also assume huge R & D and investment investment, but also to send such a huge space station to space. R & D costs, maintenance costs are simply astronomy Digital, compared to, you have much less, this is the welfare of our friends! "
"Willing to join, you can share this new generation of international space stations with us!" Anderson's meaning is obvious, agreeing to enter the international space station, disagree, then go home to play! "
The representative is silent, and the era of the space competition has come. If this time is behind other countries, there must be more than you have ...
At this time, Germany said Frank said: "Maybe we can discuss it again, as far as I know, Huaxia is now launching the space station, and the space station running in the space is not allowed to stop the International Space Station!"
Frank's words made Anderson's face, but Ronmont Lodov's words gave him a crit, Ronmont Lovov proposed: "At this time, it is not too early, since the Huaxia Space Office is in the launch space station, This is an important thing, I think we should pay attention to it. "
"I propose, now watch their space station docking video!"
"This is the International Aviation Assembly, not a TV studio!" Anderson is of course not happy, but the representatives of various countries under the top have agreed.
"I agree!"
"I think it is necessary to see!"
"Maybe it can help us make better decisions!"
Under the persistence of everyone, Anderson had to let people open the video and watch the docking of Tiangong Space Station.
At this moment, the life space module of the Tiangong Space Station has fly to the established track and is docking with the powertrain module.
Among the vacuum, the two space station modules are slowly approached, they should maintain the most, and they cannot be too fast, avoiding collisions.
In the space station, four astronauts were operated in accordance with the simulation of training.
"Adjust the orientation, the upper inclination is too high, lowered by 7 degrees."
"The life space module continues to slow down, the two modules are relatively speed to reach zero!"
"Prepare the interface, check the seal!"
In the picture of the satellite, the two space station modules are getting closer and closer, and the interface has been aligned.
"Be sure to succeed!" Huaxia's audience is nervous, as if you are astronauts who are space stations, they are carrying out docking operations.
"Start docking!" In the ground command center, everyone stared at the satellite picture.
The most critical time is finally arrived!
Losing, here!
Outside the power space module, the pipeline-type docking interface extends, and the other, the life space module has also stretched out.
Rely on the operation of the space module, it is close to the interface. For more precise docking, the two modules form a positive and negative electromagnetic field, which is attracted to each other.
Millions of people, there are also space experts in the world, are watching this scene!
Without the attention of countless eyes, the two pairs of interfaces are finally connected together, and the interfaces are fitted with each other through a clever design.
"After connecting the interface!" The electronic sound rang in the astronaut's ear.
"Check the airtightness, stability!" Astronauts continued to operate, only the airtight and stability of the docking channel is complete, and it is completed.
"Checking the airtightness ..." The test instrument started, some gases entered the docking channel, and the air pressure gauge was changed, and several seconds were stabilized.
"The air pressure is stable, no air leaks."
"Stability test is completed." Astronaut Zeng Qihui report, "the command center, the interface is detected, request to open the sealed mouth!"
"Open the secret door!" Du Xingyu commanded.
"Open the door!" The astronauts in the two space modules simultaneously pressed the button, the sealing hatch on both sides of the channel slowly opened, four astronauts, will encounter in space!
