The rocket carrying the Lunar Explorer completely stalled due to exhaustion of fuel after sending the Lunar Explorer into the Blue Star orbit.
"Stabilize the attitude and prepare to separate from the rocket."
The command center controls everything about the rocket. After the order is issued, the spacecraft central control computer executes the separation according to the set procedure.
The separator successfully separated the spacecraft from the rocket.
When the small thruster on the head of the rocket is activated, it will change the rocket's orbit over the Blue Star and allow it to fall back to the Blue Star to avoid creating too much space debris.
Although there are already a lot of space junk in Blue Star space.
"Reporting to the command center, the Lunar Prospector successfully separated from the rocket body and everything is normal in the spacecraft." Neville reported to the command center through the headset.
Then the voice of the person in charge, Rory, came from the headset.
"Very good, you now have four hours of leisure time in Blue Star space. In four hours, the Lunar Explorer will perform an orbit change and fly to the moon with the help of Blue Star's gravity."
"Understood!" Neville replied.
Communication was temporarily suspended, and Neville and Grisius left the cockpit.
Although space is a gravity-free environment, this does not prevent them from walking on the floor because the special structure of the floor can fit well with the soles of the spacesuits.
It allows people to walk close to the ground in a gravity-free environment.
"It's so beautiful. No matter how many times I see it, I will still be amazed by it every time I come to space."
Herrero, who is also an astronaut, looked out of the side window of the Lunar Explorer, and the blue planet caught his eye.
Perhaps because they think Blue Star is the home planet of the Blue Star people, they will always have a special emotion for their home star, and this emotion will be inseparable.
"The Blue Star is there and it won't change. Rather than enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Blue Star, I would rather enjoy four hours of free time." Grisius held his head and looked leisurely.
But that's not what Elero thought.
Because I am about to leave Blue Star for the first time in a real sense and go to the moon, which is 384,400 kilometers away from Blue Star.
No one knows if there will be any surprises during this trip.
Although we had the experience of landing on the moon in the last century, the actions of this major event are completely different from those of the previous century.
Not only is it a technical level, but they are also experiencing it for the first time.
As far as he knew, all the data for the Lunar Explorer spacecraft was theoretically feasible, but the most practical flight was to go back and forth in the Blue Star orbit.
As for going to the moon this time, industry representatives have too many uncertainties.
They are the forerunners of human civilization, and they are not unprepared.
But before that, Herrero wanted to take a closer look at his home planet. Maybe this trip would never come back?
No one knows who will come first tomorrow or the accident.
It was a rare moment for the astronauts to put down their nervousness and wait happily together for four hours.
After all, there is no turning back. The mission has already begun, so it is impossible to give up halfway.
Instead of thinking about the future, it is better to cherish the precious time now.
At least they are still so close to Blue Star now.
........
Four hours passed quickly.
The spacecraft has also reached the point where it is expected to change orbit.
As the pilots of the spacecraft, Grisius and Neville still have to return to the driving seat for the sake of safety even though the spacecraft does not require them to operate it now.
"In five minutes, the Lunar Explorer engine will be ignited and the orbit will be changed."
Rory's voice came from the two people's headphones.
Five minutes later, under the control of ground personnel, the spacecraft began to adjust its attitude, and finally adjusted to a suitable angle.
The main engine of the Lunar Explorer ignites!
Not long after, the main engine shutdown track was changed.
The spacecraft will then continue to orbit the blue star, fly past the backlight of the blue star, and then move away from the gravitational range of the blue star and move towards the moon.
If nothing goes wrong, it will be able to reach the moon in about a week and then be captured by the moon's gravity.
"The orbit has been changed. Now you can have a good rest. We will see you in a week."
Now that the orbit change has been completed, there will be no accidents on the way to the moon, and as the person in charge of the moon landing program, Luo Li naturally does not need to stay here every day.
The rest of the work can be left to the staff of the SANA command center.
At the same time, the footage from the spacecraft was also transmitted live to Blue Star through cameras set up in advance. Due to network speed limitations and the confidentiality of the plan.
The live broadcast was recorded without sound.
Even with such a boring scene, there are still hundreds of millions of people on Blue Star watching this live broadcast.
After completing daily maintenance work, the astronauts have also begun their space life. Don't think that there are no entertainment methods on the spacecraft.
You must know that the difference from the last century is that they are flying spaceships, and the environment is more comfortable and the space is larger.
At the same time, the most important thing is that they have a network.
Between Blue Star and the Moon, relay satellites have already been launched by free countries, including Ross and Xia.
So in terms of communication signals, the network is not a problem.
You can even use your computer to play some stand-alone games on the spaceship. Of course, online games are also feasible, but as the distance increases.
You could become a great high ping fighter.
"Neville is so handsome. He is about to take off his space suit. Oh my God, is this broadcastable?"
"Isn't it? You can still play games on the spaceship? I saw him open steam!"
"I have a question, why are there no female astronauts?"
"That's ridiculous upstairs. Landing on the moon is a very dangerous and arduous task. Is it appropriate for women to go there?"
There were different opinions on the live broadcast barrage, which was very lively.
The Xuanyuan civilization on the moon did not know what happened on Blue Star. Blue Star actually launched two rockets to the moon in preparation for landing on the moon.
The external armor of the Xuanyuan Civilization colonial ship has completed maintenance.
However, a very sophisticated radar system can only be repaired slowly and step by step by senior engineers, which naturally takes a lot of time.
During this time, Gu Ming devoted himself to the placement of personnel in the hibernation center and the construction of the lunar surface base, among many other tasks.
There is no real-time monitoring of Blue Star, but in fact no one thinks that Blue Star civilization can threaten them, even if they are in exile now.
For Blue Stars without interstellar power, they are as insignificant as ants in the eyes of our Xuanyuan civilization.
