Vol 6 Chapter 3075: The mission of the lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft

【Revision】

"Where is this lunar landing and returning experimental spacecraft now?" Wu Hao asked immediately after hearing this. He was now interested in this lunar landing and returning experimental spacecraft that was about to be launched.

"It's in our spacecraft test workshop. I'll take you there." Yu Chengwu responded, and then led Wu Hao and Zhang Jun to walk in the glass corridor for a while, and finally arrived at a huge test workshop.

This test workshop is much larger than the previous development workshops. The entire inside is white and very bright under the light.

In this test workshop, there are a total of multiple spacecraft undergoing testing, including the Walker manned spacecraft and other satellite products. What caught Wu Hao's attention the most was this unique lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft.

Walking up to the lunar landing and returning experimental spacecraft, Yu Chengwu introduced with a smile: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhang, this is the lunar landing and returning experimental spacecraft."

Wu Hao and Zhang Jun nodded when they heard this, and then looked at the whole picture of the lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft in front of them.

"It looks similar to our lunar cargo transfer spacecraft." Zhang Jun said.

"Yes." Yu Chengwu smiled and nodded and said, "You are right, this lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft was developed based on the lunar cargo transfer spacecraft.

Compared with the lunar cargo transfer spacecraft, this lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft is very different. The biggest difference is that the lunar cargo transfer spacecraft is a one-way spacecraft. It can only transport cargo to the moon and then complete its mission. It cannot come back from the moon.

Our lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft is a two-way return spacecraft that can transport cargo to the moon and then transport the cargo on the moon back to the earth.

Therefore, we can see that the lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft in front of us is very different in terms of overall size and structural appearance.

Like our lunar cargo transfer spacecraft, this lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft is mainly divided into two parts, namely the lunar landing module on the top and the orbital resource module on the bottom.

However, this lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft is very different in these two parts.

But from the size, we can see that this lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft is much taller than the lunar cargo transfer.

This is mainly because this lunar return experimental spacecraft is to return to the earth from the moon, so its orbital resource module is much larger than the lunar cargo transfer spacecraft. This is also to reserve sufficient fuel to ensure that the spacecraft can be transported Transported from the moon back to the earth.

The size of the lunar lander above is much larger than the lunar landing module of the lunar cargo transportation system, and it is very different in structure.

This is also because it needs to store more fuel to support its launch from the moon and return to the moon's orbit. If there's too little fuel, it won't be able to fly.

In addition, in order to support it to fly again, the propulsion system it uses is also a newly developed vector engine equipped on our lunar surface transfer spacecraft. Not only is the reasoning more powerful, but the thrust control is more precise.

It can be seen that in order to transport this golden meteorite core, our lunar lander did not involve a closed cargo compartment, but an open pylon.

Therefore, the cargo transported by this lunar landing and return experimental spacecraft from the earth to the moon is basically related materials and equipment that can be exposed to the space environment. Mainly related equipment and materials are used for the construction of lunar scientific research stations.

These include related mechanical parts used in the construction of the Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station, as well as glass and other building material parts.

In addition, we also carry multi-purpose intelligent robots, Wangshu series exploration vehicles, engineering transport vehicles, 3D lunar soil printers and other related parts and materials needed for equipment on the moon.

Finally, there is the metal frame used to fix the core of this golden meteorite.

After these materials arrive on the moon, they will be disassembled. After completion, it is time to start transporting the golden meteorite core. First, use a metal frame to fix the gold meteorite star core, then lift it up and dock it with the docking hole at the bottom of the lunar lander, insert the bolts and tighten them to complete the loading.

After that, the lunar lander will ignite and ascend to dock with the orbital resource module waiting in lunar orbit. The orbital resource module carries the lunar landing module back to Earth.

After reaching the Earth orbit, it then reaches the return orbit through continuous orbit changes, and then the orbital resource module separates from the lunar landing site.

The orbital resource module will use the participating fuel to change orbit, rush into the atmosphere, and use the huge friction of the atmosphere to burn up and consume it over the South Pacific.

As for the landing lunar module, it will continue to fly along the return orbit and wait for an opportunity to release the return landing device carrying the gold meteorite core.

As for the landing part of the lunar module, its remaining fuel will be used to change orbit, causing it to burn up over the southern Indian Ocean. "

“As for this return and landing device, it will start landing towards the preset landing site along the preset return and landing route.

In order to ensure that the landing process is safe enough, we also set the landing site in an inaccessible plateau area to ensure safety to the greatest extent. In this way, even if it fails to land and hits the ground, it will not cause damage to people and property on the ground. "

"In order to recover the golden meteorite core, we also spent a lot of effort. We applied and invited the support and search team of the aerospace system's manned spacecraft landing site to participate in this mission, thus ensuring We can search for this golden meteorite core as quickly as possible after it lands.

Although it is a meteorite core, it doesn't matter if the search and rescue time is later or later. But considering its special nature and relatively high value, it can easily arouse the greed of some people and they may want to take advantage of it.

Therefore, we must find it as soon as possible and handle it properly to ensure its safety.

In addition, because of its relatively high value, we also applied for support and assistance from relevant departments this time to ensure the safety of the gold meteorite core.

Once it's found and properly disposed of, it's loaded into a specialized transporter and taken all the way back to Anxi. "

It will be shipped to Anxi, but not here? Zhang Jun wondered, logically speaking, this is the safest and closest place, so why should we go to Anxi instead of being close?

Yu Chengwu said with a smile: "I believe that there will be a lot of people paying attention to this mission and this golden meteorite core, so it will be more convenient to transport it to Anxi. This is also for publicity."
