Chapter 263: Flying with You

Shelev has appeared in the Aerospace Development Commission many times, showing his extraordinary talent and leadership.

Although it is not difficult to accept a super genius, many people in the space agency have an inexplicable feeling when they get along with Shelev: every time they get along with him, they always have the illusion of getting along with people of the same age.

You should know that most of the senior scientists and leaders of the Aerospace Development Commission are over 50 years old, and there is no generation gap when they communicate. Shelev's style of speaking and doing things is also quite classical.

In addition, this name is a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western. If the family is not pure Chinese, I would have thought that a bald Union expert worked here.

Shelev suddenly proposed the launch plan of the Union era, which made the leaders of the Aerospace Development Commission seem to have returned to that era, an era when aerospace technology was primitive and exquisite, and full of violence.

Academician She suddenly thought of something and nodded vigorously:

"The project funding for the Tianwen-1 is 1.2 billion. If we build a general platform for Mars landing and exploration based on Tianwen-1, we can reduce a lot of costs. It would be great to launch more. Maybe 2 billion yuan can get three or four, or even various Tianwen-1s."

The others also thought for a while, and finally someone said:

"If you want to complete the basic environmental exploration of Mars as quickly and efficiently as possible, you must solve the communication problem. Three high-power synchronous orbit communication satellites and two or three resource exploration satellites should be sent at once."

"And the weather! The dust on Mars contains rich iron oxides. Once a storm blows, it will interfere with communication. Two or three meteorological satellites are needed to provide accurate weather forecasts for the landing site to arrange work plans."

"Can the resource exploration satellite be delayed? Water on Mars is much easier to find than on the moon. The focus should be on the ground rover. It must be a large rover that runs fast and far. The subsequent fuel synthesis equipment cannot be transferred after it is transported."

"..."

Everyone talked a little, and a complete Mars exploration plan gradually took shape.

When they had almost finished speaking, Lin Ju and Sheliov also mentioned the support that Xinyuan could provide:

Sheliov: "Next year we will launch a super-large Mars orbiting probe, weighing about 10 tons, equipped with a nuclear reactor, which will provide communication and navigation support in the Mars orbit, and has very good optical detection capabilities. It can use its own Hall thrusters to maneuver and change orbits slightly. It will be launched in January.

This is part of the "Xingxiu" solar system deep space exploration network plan. The internal name of the Mars mission is temporarily: Lihuo."

Academician She: "..."

Others: "..."

"Mr. Xie, a large probe weighing 10 tons, you should not have a rocket with such a capacity, right?"

Sheliov: "The probe and the power part are transported separately. The probe contains optical precision devices and is launched by the space shuttle. Then we will add about 5 tons of propulsion. Well, the bare-rod model of Xinyuan-5 is enough. After docking in low-Earth orbit, we will go to Mars. It is very fast and can reach Mars in 4 to 5 months without occupying the heavy rocket launch site. "

Lin Ju: "A lot of the mass of the Mars probe is given to the ultra-high power communication system. Under ideal conditions, the transmission bandwidth will reach an extremely high level. In addition, Xinyuan has the ability to provide high-power RTG isotope nuclear batteries, or send the future lunar mobile nuclear power vehicle to Mars to provide a wide range of detection capabilities.

Including rockets, Long March 7 and Xinyuan-2 are both usable heavy rockets, and we do not lack launch capabilities. "

The boss carefully calculated and found that the scale and quality of the plan could be increased a lot after pulling Xinyuan, so he felt much more at ease.

There are still 18 months, enough, enough to save a few satellites and probes.

"Then, the Aerospace Development Commission will immediately start the evaluation of the Mars landing site selection and resource exploration mission, and come up with a specific plan in December, and then see what NACA does to decide the mission scale."

…

"H202, H202, the airspace is safe, and we can take off."

"H202 received!"

At the B-level base, Deng Lei, wearing a space suit customized for the space shuttle mission, confirmed that the power pipeline was connected to the four turbofan engines attached to the tail, and used his index finger to open the switch cover of the wheel brake and gently pushed the throttle.

In the co-pilot seat, in addition to the same rudder in front of Zhang Zhiguang, there was a large screen above, and a circle of flat buttons around the screen.

H2M's main mission is to complete the construction of the Fram space station. According to the plan, it will take 8 to 12 launch plans to complete the construction of the space station, which is undoubtedly an extremely high frequency.

H2M is preparing to establish a total of 4 crews, each with 5 people, with a lineup of 10 people from Xinyuan and 10 people from the Space Administration.

The crew of the No. 1 crew will perform the first manned flight mission and accumulate experience for the construction of a super-large space station in space. They are all composed of experienced and excellent astronauts.

The first ground aerodynamic flight of the Glory, the two pilots are the chief and deputy commanders of the No. 1 crew, Deng Lei and Zhang Zhiguang.

In the original world line, because the cost of manned space launch is high and the missions are few, the crew members who have been to the space try to give opportunities to newcomers as much as possible except for "old and new", but now it does not exist.

The Tiangong space station and tourist flights have created a large number of launch missions, and with the high frequency of the new Yuan-5B, the main force of tourist flights, the manufacturing and R&D costs of the rocket have long been recovered, and only a little fuel money is enough.

Starting from July, Unity, Resoluteness, Progress, carried out 7 manned launches in four months, directly setting a historical record.

The reserve astronauts of the Space Agency and Xinyuan who had never been to space were quickly "eliminated", and the interval between missions was shortened from several years to several months.

In particular, tourist flights are a way to quickly accumulate the number of astronauts. Hitchhiking within the Space Agency is cheaper than for the rich. The money for a Shenzhou spacecraft launch can allow dozens of people to take H1 to space, which is directly tearful.

As a winner of the title of space hero, Zhang Zhiguang did not withdraw from space missions to work in the second line. Instead, he relied on his good physical fitness to stay active and accumulated a lot of experience in the remote control landing of the H2 simulator and the Ulanhashan verification machine.

If the Pioneer completes the 24-hour orbital operation and returns safely without any human intervention on November 30, the Glory will be immediately transported to Qiongzhou for the first manned launch on December 11.

But in fact, because H2M revolutionized the use of full-life thermal insulation tiles, which are theoretically no different from the fuselage, the maintenance time is also surprisingly short. In theory, it is completely possible to complete inspection and preparation for re-launch within a week.

However, the first manned mission of Pioneer is still scheduled for the end of January next year. The first batch of 3 spoke cabins and some trusses of Progress have been manufactured. Pioneer is equipped with spoke cabins and Glory is equipped with trusses. The 10 astronauts of the two space shuttles will carry out a 15-day installation work and return to prepare for the next mission after the New Year in space.

Zhang Zhiguang knew that he must be among them and was looking forward to the first New Year in space.

At this time, Glory had released its wheels and began to accelerate. On the left, a Meteor advanced training aircraft driven by the Air Force representative and the backup astronauts of Xinyuan flew low together to accompany Glory's first flight in the atmosphere.

There are two more chapters for me to make minor revisions and release at noon
