Chapter 462 Launching a Satellite
The Ziwei Star-[-] spacecraft is the same as other aerospace planes. After flying out of the moon, it must first fly around the moon in the orbit of the moon, and then fly in the direction of Mars. And the total tonnage of Ziwei Star-[-] The size and size are far more than various types of aerospace planes, but in essence, Ziwei Xing-[-] is no different from other aerospace planes.

After all, humans have not yet mastered anti-gravity technology, so they can only do this. After humans can use anti-gravity technology in the future, the spaceship does not need to circle the moon and use the moon's gravity to gain enough speed, and can directly move toward its own goal. fly away.

After gaining enough initial velocity, Ziwei star turned on the full power of the spacecraft engine. Under the powerful power provided by the internal reactor of the spacecraft, the spacecraft engine made the speed of the spacecraft rise rapidly.

The first inspection target of Ziweixing-5000 spacecraft is Mars. The closest point of Mars to the earth is more than 4 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is more than 15 million kilometers.Of course, the closest distance between the two does not happen every year, but only once every [-] years.

Now the distance between Mars and the Earth is not the farthest, but it is not the closest either. At this time, the distance between Mars and the Earth is even almost [-] million kilometers, such a long distance.

Even if the Ziwei Xing-100 spacecraft has a maximum speed of more than [-] kilometers per second and flies at the maximum speed for the whole process, it will take more than ten days.

However, the spacecraft not only has to accelerate and decelerate during its flight, but it is also impossible to fly at full speed throughout the entire process.

After all, this is the first trial voyage of the Ziwei Star No. [-] spacecraft, and the importance of this expedition to the earth. For safety reasons, it is impossible for them to fly at full speed.

According to the plan between Zhang Yi and the others, the fastest speed of the Ziweixing-20 research ship on its way to Mars will not exceed [-] kilometers per second.In other words, it will take at least [-] days for Ziweixing-[-] spacecraft to reach Mars.

After the spacecraft left the moon and flew to Mars, the speed of the spacecraft has reached 30 kilometers per second due to continuous driving.

However, after reaching this speed, the captain of the spacecraft ordered to temporarily shut down the engine of the spacecraft, let the spacecraft fly according to inertia, and issued an order to check the condition of the spacecraft.

After all, they are still very close to the moon, and they only flew out for an hour. Checking the status of the spacecraft at this time can minimize the danger to the lives of the crew. Once the spacecraft is in bad condition at this time, they can return immediately On the moon, make repairs to the spacecraft.

After all, this is a spaceship that has just left the factory. No one can guarantee that this spaceship is [-]% safe, not even the designers and manufacturers of the spaceship.

However, there is no way around this. According to normal conditions, after the spacecraft leaves the factory, it will conduct multiple flights like the aircraft of the Earth era, find various performance limits and defects of the spacecraft, and make improvements. Serving, but the current human civilization simply does not have so much time.

After all, according to the normal situation, it will take several years to complete various test flights, improvements, and data integration, and human civilization simply cannot wait so long.

Therefore, after the spacecraft is manufactured, the scientific research on Mars will be carried out immediately, and the performance of the spacecraft can also be tested at the same time.

After more than an hour, several technical workers responsible for inspecting the spacecraft finally said: "Captain Wang, the inspection of the spacecraft is complete, everything is normal."

After listening to the crew's words, Wang Wei was still a little worried, and looked at the data on the data platform in person. After finding that it was normal, he was relieved, and said to the correspondent: "Commissioner, transmit the spacecraft data back to the headquarters. , and during our future investigations, the data of the spacecraft will be sent back every eight hours, so that the headquarters can keep track of the status of the spacecraft.”

"Okay! Captain." After speaking, the correspondent immediately turned on the data transmission system, ready to transmit the data back.

After giving a big order to the communicator, Wang Wei ordered to the fire controller of the spacecraft: "Fire controller, get ready. In 10 minutes, we will reach the first launch point of the relay communication satellite. You must It is necessary to accurately launch relay satellites and space navigation satellites."

"Yes! Sir!" After listening to Wang Wei's words, the fire controller replied.

Although the responsibility of the fire controllers is basically to launch various weapons on the spacecraft, since this spacecraft is not a battleship, but a scientific research ship, the task of the fire controllers is not only to In addition to the control and control of the spacecraft's weapons, there are other material delivery and launch tasks, which are all operated by the fire controller.

In fact, in this expedition, apart from the exploration of Mars, they also have other heavy tasks. For example, when they are only on the road, there are as many as hundreds of missions to launch various satellites. , They also need to record and send back various electromagnetic and light wave environments during the flight.

Fortunately, the tonnage of this spacecraft is as high as [-] tons, and it can carry a large amount of supplies. Otherwise, so many satellites would not be able to hold it at all.

As the captain, Wang Wei, he always pays attention to every subtle change in the flight of the spacecraft, and also pays attention to the time, which is about to arrive.

The spaceship was about to arrive at the scheduled launch location, so Wang Wei immediately gave various orders to the crew members of the spaceship.

"Report immediately, the current speed of the spaceship!"

"The current flight speed of the spacecraft is 30 kilometers per second, which is in line with the launch of satellites."

"Attention fire controllers, after 30 seconds, the first relay satellite will be launched!"

"Yes!"

“打开卫星投放舱，10、93、2、1、0投放！”

Following Wang Wei's order, the fire controller immediately pressed the button to launch the satellite, and the first communication relay satellite successfully flew to the predetermined solar orbit.

Because of the distance from the moon where they are at this time, the movement of the satellite around the sun at this time is pulled by the gravitational force of the earth and the moon.

When the first satellite was launched, Wang Wei and the others did not stop their work, but started the launch of the second satellite, but this satellite was not a communication relay satellite, but a solar system navigation satellite.

In order for human spaceships to fly better in the solar system in the future, it is necessary to establish a navigation mechanism. Fortunately, now that their colorful tiles have produced photonic chips and photonic components, electronic components and electronic chips are no longer used. , so the damage to satellites caused by various cosmic rays has been reduced to an acceptable level, and the limit lifespan of solar system navigation satellites can reach about 50 years, so it has become possible to establish a solar system navigation mechanism.
