Red Soviet Union - Chapter 1271

On the moon, there is no air, so the lift cannot be relied on. The only thing that can be used is the engine of the spacecraft itself! Whether it is slowing down or landing, you need to rely on the engine!

At this time, the moon landing spacecraft is sideways.

It seems that the moon landing spacecraft was mounted on the side of the energy spacecraft. This is a long-shaped load. After leaving the earth, the energy spacecraft fell in sequence and then destroyed, leaving only the moon landing spacecraft.

Unlike all previous spacecraft, the long structure of the lunar spacecraft has the engine not at the tail, but directly below! It looks like a starship battleship.

In fact, when it was first designed, it was originally planned to design the engine at the bottom as usual. However, if the lunar landing spacecraft more than 30 meters long, if it is vertical, the landing on the moon can be combined. not easy!

The lunar module of the Apollo program of the United States is divided into two parts, the descending section and the ascending section. The total length is only 6.79 meters. Even if the four feet are extended, the diameter is 9.45 meters, and the weight is 4.1 tons. If the fuel is included, it only weighs 14.7 tons. The descending section is also equipped with scientific instruments for investigating the lunar surface. When the ascending section flies away from the lunar surface, the descending section acts as a launch pad.

Such an aircraft actually looks bloated, and the current Soviet moon landing spacecraft is a little slender and slender. It is quite difficult to make this 30-meter-long aircraft stand upright on the surface of the moon. Yes, and it collapses easily!

Therefore, the Soviet engineers had an idea and came up with a new method. Since it is inconvenient to stand upright, then simply lie down! The aircraft lands and takes off sideways!

On the earth, this is absolutely impossible, because in this case, it will greatly increase the air resistance, and it is impossible to escape from the atmosphere, and now, on the moon, there is no atmosphere anyway, without any aerodynamic considerations!

At the same time, if it is horizontal, the height is greatly reduced, taking off and landing is very convenient, and it is easy to arrange various equipment. This thing does not look like a spaceship, but more like a starship, but it has no weapons.

The horizontal layout also facilitates setting up more hydraulic outriggers below. After all, this is a big guy with dozens of tons! Below the outriggers, there needs to be a flat plate to relieve the pressure! At this time, all the outriggers were stretched, and it looked like a centipede again.

There are four engines at the bottom, and the thrust is being released smoothly. If you want to land on the moon, the thrust of the engine must be adjustable. In the era of liquid engines, this requires superb technology, and now, in the nuclear power engine On, it’s easy to control.

Forward, forward! At this time, the moon landing spacecraft was on the surface of the moon, almost advancing and landing at the same time, flying over the equator of the moon, and flying towards the Jinghai base.

When getting closer to the surface of the moon, you can see the unique cratered craters on the surface of the moon, which seem to be a bit hideous and desolate everywhere.

Moon, here we come!

The engine at the bottom, which gently adjusts the thrust, has never activated the manual control, and the automatic system has stopped the spacecraft firmly on the surface of the moon! Countless dust scattered on both sides of the spacecraft.

“Kurlenko, you stay here, the rest of the people, pass the lunar work clothes, and prepare to start the base.” Onuflenko said.

In space voyages, just wearing a normal in-cabin space suit is enough, and the Soviets already have the Mir space station, which is fully mature in this regard. At the same time, there are also extravehicular space suits that can meet various tasks of spacewalking.

However, this is different from the space suits used on the lunar surface. For this reason, the Soviets specially developed lunar space suits. The most important point is to facilitate walking and work on the moon. This space suit , is both hard and soft!

In the past, the space suits in space were all soft, except for the helmet, which was a hard shell. The current space suits use a large number of metals such as titanium alloys for support, making the space suits a semi-hard shell structure, and there are movable supports at various joints.

In addition to being sturdy, this kind of space suit has a bigger advantage, which is that it can make it have greater pressure inside! Therefore, the astronauts’ previous work of inhaling oxygen and nitrogen before wearing a space suit is not needed! Greatly reduces the time it takes to wear!

In the airlock behind the flight cabin, the four astronauts put on their space suits in turn. The first time out of the Soviet astronauts is about to begin!

The sound of pressure relief echoed in the airlock, and soon, the airlock became a vacuum.

Set off! Following the ladder below, Onuflenko was the first to climb out of the lunar module. At this time, through the camera, the picture of his lunar landing has been spread to the world!

The Soviets~www.mtlnovel.com~ finally stepped on the moon! Unlike the Americans who trembled and landed on the moon, the Soviets are going to establish a base on the surface of the moon this time! This time, 5 astronauts came at once!

The gravity on the moon is only one-sixth of the surface of the earth. Therefore, on the moon, because the gravity is too small, people will feel light and airy. In many cases, it is more appropriate to jump and walk than to walk directly!

After a few preliminary attempts, Onuflenko made the same choice and jumped forward!

He jumped to the side of the lunar spacecraft, and then opened the hatch. Inside, the package of a lunar rover was slowly pushed out.

If you want to establish a base on the moon, you must have means of transportation. For example, although the base components launched two days ago have been sent up by an unmanned lunar rover of the same type, the landing place is enough to get here. A full five kilometers! If the astronauts walked over, they would be exhausted.

At the same time, although they have all landed here, the specific base location also needs to be carefully selected. It is possible that the base has been established, and there will be a certain distance from here, so the existence of the lunar rover is quite necessary!

This kind of lunar rover is much larger than the lunar rover when the United States landed on the moon! When unfolded, it consists of twenty wheels!

The gravity on the moon is small, which also causes the soil on the lunar surface to be very soft. If there are too few wheels, it may sink in!

Moreover, there are more than one such lunar rover, this time two were shipped at once! Enough to use!

It took about ten minutes for the two lunar rovers to unfold, and the two of them, one lunar rover, began their walk on the lunar surface. So far so good! The footage from the camera was broadcast to audiences all over the world.
