Chapter 637 Landing on Mars II

"I received the Dijiang and the Dijiang. The weather is in good condition at the scheduled landing site, with very high visibility, and no sandstorms are happening nearby. You can enter the atmosphere.

However, when you enter the atmosphere, please pay attention to turning on the vertical landing engine on the abdomen of the aircraft and adjusting the attitude engine." After receiving Peng Ming's report, the Dijiang immediately analyzed the relevant data, and then immediately replied to the aerospace plane that was performing the landing mission.

After all, Mars is not the bottom earth. Although Mars has an atmosphere, the atmosphere of Mars is very thin and is not enough to allow the aerospace plane to fully slow down. Therefore, when landing, you must rely on the vertical landing engine on the abdomen of the plane to brake.

At the same time, in terms of attitude adjustment, although the wings of the aircraft can also have a huge effect, because the atmosphere of Mars is thin, it is very difficult to control if the wings are only relied on, so the engine must be controlled by the aircraft's attitude to assist, and even mainly rely on the attitude to control the engine.

At the same time, Ping Peng Ming, who was waiting for the reply from Dijiang, immediately made the last posture adjustment before entering the Martian atmosphere after receiving the reply. After all, whether it is entering the Earth's atmosphere or entering the Martian atmosphere, the attitude of the aerospace plane plays an important role in whether the aerospace plane can land safely.

If the posture is wrong, after entering the atmosphere, it is likely to cause the aircraft to roll and other situations when it enters the atmosphere. If such a situation occurs, it is likely to cause the aircraft to lose control and eventually crash.

As one of the best aerospace plane pilots on the earth now, Peng Ming naturally would not rashly enter the atmosphere when his posture was wrong. Even if he was very confident in his driving skills, he would not dare to be careless at all. After all, this is not only about his own safety, but also about the life safety of all the people on the entire plane.

As the last posture adjustment ended, the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane flying by Peng Ming also plunged into the atmosphere of Mars.

As the plane plunged into the atmosphere of Mars, the airplane of Mars was almost rubbed, and the flames flashed around the plane. It can be seen that although the plane had entered the atmosphere of Mars at this time, its speed was also very fast.

At the same time, this Phoenix-type aerospace plane also turned on the vertical take-off and landing engine on the abdomen of the plane.

Just when the plane entered the atmosphere of Mars, if the many probes that had already landed on the ground had already pointed their lens at the direction of the Phoenix-1 spacecraft that was entering the atmosphere.

In the lens of these probes, a red light gradually shifted from dark variables in the sky, and then, the red light flew towards the south pole of Mars at a very fast speed.

However, as we approached the Antarctic of Mars, the red light began to gradually darken. It was obvious that the speed of the aerospace plane at this time was also rapidly decreasing with the help of the vertical take-off and landing engine. When the plane landed less than 10,000 meters from the ground.

At this time, the red light in the sky gradually disappeared, and instead, a white line passed by the sky. It was obvious that this line was the shock wave generated by the rapid flight of the spacecraft.

However, as the speed of the plane became slower, the plane was closer to the ground of the South Pole of Mars. Finally, even the white lines disappeared, with only one white dot, and were descent rapidly in the sky.

It can be said that as the non-maneuvering speed dropped to less than 200 meters per second, it also marks that their aerospace plane has already landed on Mars by half.

After all, for aerospace planes, entering the atmosphere of Mars and successfully reducing the speed is one of the most dangerous stages of landing on Mars. As long as the speed is successfully reduced, the risk of landing will be much smaller.

Sure enough, as the plane successfully entered the atmosphere, the pilot of the plane suddenly relaxed a lot, and his originally nervous mood also let go.

You should know that entering the atmosphere of Mars can differently enter the Earth's atmosphere. Because humans and humans have sufficient data on the Earth's atmosphere, they have successfully entered the atmosphere countless times.

Therefore, when all types of aerospace planes in human civilization enter the earth's atmosphere, they basically use intelligent operation methods to land. The main function of technicians is to intervene in case of problems in the intelligent system.

It is different if you log on to Mars. This time, human civilization has first used manned aircraft to land on Mars. Before, human civilization has never conducted a similar log on, so there is no data at all.

In other words, logging onto Mars requires manual operation throughout the process, and no artificial intelligence programs can be used at all.

"Report, we have successfully entered the Martian atmosphere and have arrived near the landing point. The scheduled landing point is in very good condition, very flat, with a level 3 wind power, so please log in." When the plane arrived above the landing point, the pilot of the plane, Peng Ming, immediately reported to the Dijiang spacecraft.

The Dijiang spacecraft received Peng Ming's request, but after receiving the request, the Dijiang spacecraft did not agree immediately.

Instead, the data collected by the ground detector was first analyzed and confirmed, and then replied: "This is the Dijiang spacecraft. The ground conditions at the landing site are in good condition and are allowed to log in."

With the reply from the Dijiang River, Peng Ming immediately flew the aerospace plane and continued to reduce his speed and altitude until the aerospace plane was less than one thousand meters away from the ground. The speed of the plane was already very slow, less than ten meters per second.

And as the aerospace plane gets closer to the ground, its descent speed becomes slower and slower. Until the plane lands less than ten meters away from the ground, the descent speed of the plane has also decreased to a speed less than one meter per second.

As the altitude of the aircraft became lower and lower, the dust on the Mars landing point was also scattered by the airflow of the aircraft's vertical take-off and landing engine.

Finally, in the sight of the probe, the tires of the space plane that was surprisingly landing came into contact with the ground of Mars. After contact, the hot flames emitted by the vertical take-off and landing engine of the plane slowly decreased and eventually disappeared.
