Red Soviet Union

Chapter 1270 The Soviets Are Coming

The moon, the closest planet to humans!

At the beginning, mankind launched a vigorous project to explore the moon, which was a product of a specific period of the Cold War. After that, the operation to explore the moon disappeared, leaving only a lot of mysteries.

Now, the Soviets, will continue to develop the Moon!

Dhahran Cosmodrome is a tense moment. Outside, a huge Energia rocket is standing there!

The launch hall was crowded with people, and several foreign astronauts were blaming themselves.

If it wasn't for the last minute, their physical test was not good enough, then they would have had the opportunity to become the first astronauts to land on the moon, and set foot on the moon with the Soviet astronauts!

It's a pity, wait for the next opportunity!

French astronaut Thomas sat on a chair and silently watched the screen in front of him. At this moment, the countdown to the launch of the rocket had entered! He was extremely envious.

When the sound of ignition sounded, the white smoke from the hot flames covered the entire big screen, and the energy rocket flew towards the sky!

The moon landing spacecraft, successfully launched!

Relying on the strong thrust, there is no need for complicated maneuvering orbit changes at all. The Energy Rocket can directly bring the lunar landing spacecraft to the lunar orbit!

When the secondary rocket was ignited and fell off, the lunar module finally deployed in space.

Compared with the Apollo of the United States, the structure of the Soviet lunar module is quite different.

The American Apollo is just a vehicle that goes back and forth between the earth and the moon orbit. On the top of Apollo, there is also a docking lunar module. The Apollo spacecraft cannot directly land on the moon. It needs the lunar module to go up. During this period, the Apollo spacecraft flew in lunar orbit, and then the lunar module took off to the lunar orbit to dock with the Apollo spacecraft.

But now, the Soviet Union has mastered the key technology of nuclear power engines, and has greatly simplified the structure of the lunar landing spacecraft. Come to the earth orbit, but it will not continue to fall into the atmosphere, but stay on the Mir space station. In the future, the next batch of personnel can go directly to the moon from the Mir.

In this way, the entire load of the lunar module is also effectively utilized. Therefore, this lunar module with a total weight of 50 tons can accommodate 5 astronauts!

At the same time, they will also be the first permanent personnel to enter the moon base!

Just two days before the launch of the Energia at the Dhahran base, at the Baikonur launch base, an Energia rocket took off ahead of schedule with the initial advance base, and landed accurately at the area designated by Andrei. On the Jinghai base, now, just wait for them to pass by!

These five astronauts are the early pioneers. They will build a base on the moon that is enough for 50 people to work, and build a prototype of a long-term manned base!

At the same time, among the five astronauts, there is also a woman!

Svetlana Savitskaya, well-known in the Soviet Union, she is a Soviet athlete and astronaut, the creator of racing flight records and the holder of the highest flying record, and also the second female astronaut in the world member and the world's first female spacewalker, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, it can be said that Svetlana's record is unprecedented.

She has loved flying since she was a child. Before becoming an astronaut, she was a test pilot of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. The sky could not satisfy her. She was very eager for government space, so from 1980, she was selected and transferred to the Soviet cosmonauts have entered space twice, respectively in 1982 on the Soyuz tm-7 and in 1984 on the Soyuz tm-12.

At the same time, on the second flight, she also performed the most dangerous space walk, setting a new record!

In the history of later generations, these two flights were completed,

She didn't go to space again, she got married a year later, until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and began her political experience.

And now, Svetlana, who loves the aerospace industry, is still continuing to conquer space, and, this time going a step further, she is about to conquer the moon with her four companions!

If women want to conquer space, they need to pay more than men. At the same time, women are more thoughtful and have an advantage in many cases. For example, Svetlana's mission is to be the pilot of the lunar module!

That is to say, if there is an accident during the flight of the spacecraft and manual control is required, Svetlana needs to do it herself to operate the spacecraft and finally stop on the moon!

Of course, this possibility is very small, the Soviet electronic technology is already quite good, enough to allow the spacecraft to achieve automatic driving!

After flying away from the earth, the long-lost feeling of weightlessness reappeared. The commander of this flight, Onuvlenko, an excellent Soviet astronaut with several space experiences, looked through the porthole at the distant and approaching planet.

Moon, here we come! Everyone called out in their hearts.

It seems that there is something there, just waiting for their arrival!

At this moment, Onuflenko was looking forward to it in his heart.

Except for one novice, the other four are veterans. They moved in space for a while. After the spacecraft passed the Lagrangian point, it began to accelerate towards the moon!

Ready to activate the rocket brake. Onuflenko shouted. If you continue to fly, you will pass by the moon and fly to a more distant space. You must slow down to be captured by the moon's gravity!

slow down! Under the thrust of several small engines, the attitude of the lunar landing spacecraft was adjusted, and the tail nozzle of the nuclear power engine ejected milky white hydrogen vapor according to the preset instructions.

The spacecraft began to slow down, slow down, and soon, it was captured by the moon's gravity and became a spacecraft flying around the moon!

Svetlana, it's up to you now, Onuflenko said.

Understood. Sitting in her seat, Svetlana concentrated on it. Ready to go to the moon, ready to be human-piloted should the system go wrong!

After more than ten years of silence, the moon finally welcomes a group of visitors again!

The tens of tons of lunar landing spacecraft is more than 30 meters long. At this time, the main engine at the bottom and the attitude adjustment engine on the side are carefully adjusting according to the requirements of the landing procedure!

Moon, the Soviets are coming!
