Chapter 529: Test Flight of the Space Plane
"We are still sitting firmly in our seats, and the objects around us are not floating because of weightlessness. It is because our space plane is accelerating and inertia is pressing us down on our seats. In the acceleration phase after ignition and takeoff of traditional launch vehicles, the acceleration often exceeds 60-80m/s, which is a very bad experience. Even professional astronauts like us sometimes can't stand it. The acceleration of the Xuannv space plane is about 20m/s, which is similar to the experience when you take off on an airplane. It is very friendly to ordinary people and is an ideal vehicle for the development of space tourism projects in the future.
Some knowledgeable friends may ask, your space shuttle has such a small acceleration, when can it reach the first cosmic speed, get rid of the earth's gravity, and enter space? The answer to this question is actually simple. As I said before, the anti-gravity engine has completely shielded the gravity of the space shuttle, and gravity is also a kind of gravity. Without the gravitational pull of the earth, the flight speed of the space shuttle, whether it reaches the first cosmic speed or not, can get rid of the earth's gravity well and enter space.
Now the space plane has reached an altitude of 20,000 meters. At this altitude, we will conduct a series of tests, including the maximum flight speed test in the atmosphere, the maximum turning radius test, the maneuverability test, etc. If conditions permit, we will also conduct an icing test on the fuselage..."
Fan Zichao talked to the camera and popularized a lot of aerospace knowledge. He occasionally found some questions that the audience asked frequently and answered them on the spot. The main pilot Xie Duanyang drove the aerospace plane to complete one test project after another. Half an hour later, all the test projects in the atmosphere were completed. Xie Duanyang reported to the ground flight control center: "Rui Da Aerospace Flight Control Center, Rui Da Aerospace Flight Control Center, this is the Xuannv aerospace fighter. All the test projects in the atmosphere have been completed. Please continue to climb and enter space."
"Xuan Nu Space Fighter, Xuan Nu Space Fighter, this is the Ruida Aerospace Flight Control Center. Your request has been received and you are allowed to continue climbing."
"Xuan Nu understands." Xie Duanyang agreed, and then pushed the joystick, and the anti-gravity engines on the belly and tail of the aerospace plane started to work again, pushing Xuan Nu to fly diagonally upward. The values displayed on the altimeter were increasing rapidly, "20KM, 50KM, 70KM, 100KM, 200KM, 300KM, 400KM". Half an hour later, the flight altitude of Xuan Nu had reached 400KM. At this altitude, it had completely left the atmosphere and entered the space range. At this point, Xuan Nu adjusted its flight direction and successfully entered a near-Earth circular orbit. Then all the engines were shut down, and the Xuan Nu aerospace plane flew rapidly on the orbit relying on inertia.
Fan Zichao continued his explanation, "You all saw it, the objects around me all flew up, which means our Xuannv has successfully entered space. Now these objects, including me, are in a state of weightlessness. To be honest, this kind of weightlessness is my first time to experience it, and it doesn't feel very good. My head is constantly congested with blood, and I feel like my head has grown bigger, but my legs and feet are so light that I can't even exert enough strength to move.
At present, Xuannv is in a near-earth circular orbit 400km above the ground. It only takes about 90 minutes to fly around the earth. The flight speed is quite fast. The International Space Station and my country's Tiangong- space laboratory are both in this orbit. According to our calculations, in about minutes, our space shuttle will pass by the International Space Station. At that time, everyone can observe this big guy who has been in space for seven years up close. Next, let's enjoy the beautiful view of the earth from space. "
As he spoke, Fan Zichao unbuckled his seat belt, took the 3D holographic camera and other live broadcast equipment, and gently kicked his feet on the floor, and flew lightly to the glass observation window above his head. He adjusted the camera's shooting angle and recorded all the beautiful scenery of the earth.
"From this unique perspective, I can see the beauty of this planet. The sun shines down from the edge of space, reflecting its thin atmosphere, as if it is putting a shining neon dress on the earth. The ocean is like a huge sapphire inlaid on the surface of the earth, forming a sharp contrast with the green and yellow of the land. These lands have different shapes, forming a complex and varied texture, like a unique birthmark on Mother Earth. The clouds are like a layer of gauze, slowly floating on the blue sky, sometimes gathering and dispersing, and sometimes transforming into various shapes. I can see the tropical rain forest near the equator, which is full of vitality and green, as if it is the most precious lung of the earth, regulating the global climate between breaths. The ice and snow at the poles reflect The rays of the sun are pure and distant, like the last pure land on earth. At this moment, I seem to be able to feel the heartbeat of the earth, which is synchronized with my heart, and every beat is full of vitality. We can also see the traces of human civilization, the lights of the cities, the grids of the roads, which depict the vicissitudes of human history on the surface of the earth. This is a quiet and active planet, the ocean is swaying gently, the atmosphere is flowing slowly, and the continents are breathing quietly. Looking back from space, the earth is so complete and perfect, it is our common home, and it is a shining pearl in the universe. At this moment, my heart is full of awe and love, which is the most sincere emotion for the earth, and it is also a magnificent scene that I will never forget in my life. "
Janis is a botanist from Russia. Two months ago, he came to the International Space Station on Russia's Soyuz manned spacecraft to participate in an experiment on space breeding. After the first few days of freshness, Janis felt the many inconveniences of life in space. For example, it is difficult to eat. He can only eat small pieces of packaged food or liquid food like toothpaste. He can only go to a special vacuum toilet for defecation and urination. He can only sleep in a sleeping bag and hang on the wall. What's more troublesome is that the activity space of the International Space Station is quite limited, and there are only a few permanent personnel. If you live there for a long time, you will feel depressed. This is a psychological problem. If you don't adjust it well, it will easily cause problems. Fortunately, Janis is a botanist. Whenever he stays in the laboratory and sees the various plants growing vigorously, his mood will immediately become bright and his work efficiency will be exceptionally high.
On this day, Janis was observing the growth of a seedling when he heard a shrill alarm from the loudspeaker, "This is a collision warning!"
Janis had received three months of special training before going into space, and was very clear about the circumstances under which this piercing alarm would sound. This alarm would only sound when other spacecraft or meteorites invaded the orbit of the International Space Station and there was a high probability of a collision.
Janis immediately put down the seedling in his hand, and walked to the glass observation window with his hands and feet, looking out nervously, "Hey, the space around here is quite clean, isn't it? I don't see any space debris or satellites approaching, so why is the alarm going off?"
He picked up the intercom next to him and asked in slightly stiff English: "Hey, Tom, are you at the control console? What's the alarm just now? Did you find space junk?"
A middle-aged man's voice rang out in the communicator. "It's not space junk, it's a strange plane that is rapidly approaching our International Space Station. The orbital distance between the two is very close, and there is a certain risk of collision. After the monitoring system discovered it, it directly activated the collision warning."
"What? You said it was a plane approaching us. That's impossible. After the space shuttle was retired, what other plane could fly to a low-Earth orbit 400 kilometers above the ground? Oh, I think I saw the plane you mentioned. It's so big and has a strange shape. Could it be a spacecraft sent by aliens?"
At this time, a strange plane flew from a distance and quickly approached the International Space Station. Janis saw it through the observation window.
"It's probably not aliens. I used a telescope to see two Chinese characters for Xuannv on this strange-looking plane. This should be a newly developed space plane from China. The latest orbit calculations show that the plane on the other side will pass by our space station, with the closest distance being only 523 meters. The alarm can be lifted."
At this moment, a strange voice came in through the public channel, "This is the Xuannv space fighter, please answer if you hear me. Repeat, this is the Xuannv space fighter, please answer if you hear me."
"Jannis, the plane on the other side is calling us. I'm going to deal with these guys and talk to you later." "Okay, Janis, go ahead."
At this time, the oncoming aerospace plane was getting closer and closer. Through the observation window, they could even see an oriental man standing behind the glass in the opposite cockpit, waving and greeting them. Janis also subconsciously raised his hand and waved in the direction of the plane, as a greeting.
At this time, tens of millions of netizens in the live broadcast room of Ruida Technology saw the huge International Space Station through the live camera. This kind of close-up image is much clearer and more real than the photos on the Internet. The dense barrage of comments and messages almost drowned the entire live broadcast room.
"This International Space Station is so huge, with so many cabins, it's amazing. When will China have a space station of this size?"
"The International Space Station was jointly built by 11 countries, including the United States, Russia, 16 European Space Agency member states (France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland), island countries, Canada and Brazil. It is the largest aerospace project in the world. Its internal pressurized volume is 915.6 cubic meters and its total mass is 419 tons. Seeing it today was indeed shocking enough."
"This possibility is very small. Let's not talk about the technical issues. Just talking about the financial investment, our country can't afford it. You know, it cost tens of millions of dollars to build the International Space Station. Such a large amount of money is simply not something our country can afford."
"We can't afford a big one, but we can build a small one. We have already launched Tiangong-1, and there will surely be Tiangong-2 and Tiangong-3 to come. We should take our time and there is no rush."
"Look, there seems to be a white lady standing in the cabin of the International Space Station across the way. She even waved at us."
"The distance between the two aircraft is too close, aren't you afraid of an accidental collision?"
"These are all orbits that were calculated in advance. How could an accident happen?"
After a close encounter, the Xuannv space shuttle and the International Space Station soon separated and went their separate ways. There are still two items left to be tested on the Xuannv's maiden flight, which are maneuvering and changing orbits, and launching a communication satellite.
The first thing to do is to maneuver the orbit. As the name suggests, maneuvering the orbit refers to the process of a satellite or spacecraft launched into space to autonomously change its orbit while in orbit. In order to complete the orbit change, Xie Duanyang once again turned on the six engines of Xuannv to accelerate and change the orbit. After ten minutes of adjustment, Xuannv spacecraft successfully entered an elliptical orbit with a perigee of 450 km and an apogee of 35000 km.
After running along the elliptical orbit for a period of time, Xuannv reached the apogee position, and the second maneuvering orbit change started. After a series of operations, Xuannv successfully entered the geosynchronous orbit. In this orbit, Xuannv still has one last task to complete, which is to release a communication satellite.
With the rapid increase in the number of Ruida cars and high-end Ruida mobile phones, more and more people are using satellite communication systems, and the existing 36 navigation and communication satellites are somewhat unable to cope with the situation. This time, taking advantage of the launch test of Xuannv, the large communication satellite sent into space is to share the pressure of existing satellites and increase the bandwidth and the upper limit of the number of users.
This large communication satellite, also copied from the Marvel Universe, is one of the pinnacle achievements of Stark Industries. It is equipped with an Ark Reactor as an energy source and a universal quantum computer as the encryption and information processing core. In theory, it can meet the requirements of connecting millions of devices to the Internet at the same time, and has other functions such as data storage, photo shooting, and auxiliary positioning.
After the Xuannv space shuttle arrived at the designated location, the rear hatch opened automatically, and two mechanical arms hidden in the rear compartment picked up a strange satellite with antennas all over its body but no solar cells, and threw it directly out of the hatch. After doing all this, the two mechanical arms automatically retracted, the hatch closed again, and the satellite release mission was completed.
When the large communications satellite entered space, its internal attitude adjustment system automatically activated, continuously ejecting gas to adjust the satellite's flight attitude and speed, and eventually positioned itself in the geosynchronous orbit over the equator directly south of my country.
