Chapter 575 Ignite, successfully fly out of the earth
At this moment, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Ground Control Center.
Nearly 10,000 people including the Gods of Heaven, including the God of Thunder and the Wolf God, as well as Dean Wang and other leaders, experts, aerospace engineering personnel, and other related personnel from the Satellite Launch Center gathered here, busy and busy.
In front of them was a huge electronic screen.
The electronic screen is switching at any time. Sometimes the entire launch tower and launch system can be seen from a long view; sometimes from a close view, the three astronauts can be seen busy checking in the command module, and Ying Yue can be seen in the service module with his eyes closed to relax.
and the eagle-headed god.
No one spoke, only various inspection departments could be heard constantly reporting inspection data, although such inspections had been conducted thousands of times and reported thousands of times.
But no one dared to neglect, and they worked tirelessly and meticulously, especially as the launch time was getting closer and closer, the atmosphere became more and more tense, the pressure increased, the attitude of the staff became more cautious, and the inspections became more careful.
Behind each department, Thor, Wolf God and others stood there, nervously looking at the big screen, their palms sweating.
At this moment, they, like every staff member in the control center, are extremely nervous and under great pressure.
Because news just came that just a minute ago, the lunar landing spacecraft of the Pantheon had been ignited. The "Jupiter 2" rocket pierced the sky, shot straight into the sky, and took the lunar landing spacecraft out of the atmosphere.
"The ignition time is actually half a quarter of an hour earlier than us!"
The God of Thunder was very worried. On the one hand, he had to worry about the pantheon of gods, and on the other hand, he had to worry about whether the launch would go smoothly. The double pressure was weighing on his heart. Even as a god, he felt doubly heavy.
"Don't worry, everything will go well!" The Wolf God patted his shoulder and comforted him with a smile.
"That's for sure, everything will go very smoothly!" Thor laughed, his face looking a little better.
In this way, time passed by minute by minute. After a series of inspections, it was finally the ignition countdown.
"10,9,8...3,2,1,0!"
"ignition!"
"boom--"
When the countdown was over, the tail end of the "Long March 10" launch vehicle suddenly spewed out a huge cloud of smoke. The smoke rose into the sky, instantly submerging half of the rocket body, and then spread in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, a huge flame erupted from the tail end of the rocket. With a loud roar, the mechanical arm of the launch tower slowly opened, and the rocket began to rise slowly.
At the beginning, the speed of Long March 10 was very slow, but under the influence of strong propulsion, the speed increased rapidly, and it suddenly shot straight into the sky.
At this moment, everyone was holding their breath and their hearts were in their throats!
The lift-off stage is undoubtedly the most critical, dangerous and accident-prone stage. Everyone in the control center is extremely nervous.
Nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes were fixed on the big screen, staring at the big guy spitting out huge firelight, and tens of thousands of hearts were clenched.
"success!"
"It will definitely succeed!"
"It will definitely succeed!"
Everyone is shouting and roaring in their hearts.
At this moment, whether it is Thor and other gods, the leaders of the launch center, or the huge aerospace workers, there is only one thought in their minds, and that is: success.
At the same time, Ying Yue and others in the spacecraft had another feeling. The rocket's propulsion was too violent.
The entire arrow body was shaking violently, and the body was also shaking continuously. At the same time, a pressure was squeezing the body, making people feel even more uncomfortable.
Ying Yue knew that he was overweight!
Driven by the rocket, the spacecraft not only overcomes the acceleration of gravity, but also generates an upward acceleration, resulting in the phenomenon of overweight!
"This speed has already reached seven or eight times the speed of sound!"
Ying Yue felt it silently. Not long after, another voice sounded in his ears: "The first-stage rocket is separated!"
"The first stage rocket separated successfully!"
"Second stage rocket ignition!"
"The second stage rocket ignited successfully!"
After more than a minute of flight, after reaching the predetermined speed and altitude, the second-stage rocket also shut down and separated.
At this moment, the spacecraft was successfully sent to low-Earth orbit!
…
"Success!"
"The most dangerous stage is over!"
"Very good!"
At the moment when the second-stage rocket separated smoothly, everyone in the control center breathed a sigh of relief. Some beamed, some high-fived each other, and some hugged each other.
Even the God of Thunder, God of Wolf and others applauded in celebration.
They all know that the continuous acceleration phase of the first and second stage rockets, that is, the ascent phase, is the most dangerous and accident-prone phase. As long as the acceleration phase is successfully passed, the rest of the process will be easy.
…
"The upward pressure is gone?"
Ying Yue said in a low voice.
"The first and second stages of the rocket separate and the accelerated flight phase ends!"
Leox said calmly: "You are now in low-Earth orbit, and you are flying inertially along the low-Earth orbit under the influence of the earth's gravity!"
"How long will it take before we can leave low-Earth orbit and fly towards the moon?" Ying Yue asked.
"Fly around the earth in about 25 minutes!"
Leoux said calmly: "When it reaches the point where the Earth-Moon line is tangent to the Earth, the three-stage rocket's engine will start, continue to accelerate, and take you out of low-Earth orbit!"
Just as Leox said, after flying around the earth for about 25 minutes, the three-stage rocket began to ignite and the spacecraft accelerated again.
This acceleration caused the spacecraft to break away from the low-Earth orbit it had been orbiting before, and rushed towards the moon in a hurry.
After less than a minute of acceleration, the three-stage rocket also separated. At this moment, in the entire lunar landing system, only the lunar landing ship was left holding the escape tower, and the launch vehicle was completely separated.
At this moment, the lunar landing craft reaches its maximum speed and will fly to the moon at the fastest speed!
"Okay, it's finally safe!"
After breaking away from the gravity of the earth, the next journey is an inertial flight, neither accelerating nor decelerating, and flying steadily for a period of time.
During this time, the spacecraft did not shake at all and was very quiet.
Ying Yue unfastened his seat belt, climbed to the window, and looked at the earth below through the transparent glass window, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
"Is this Earth?"
"So beautiful! So beautiful!"
You will never know how beautiful the Earth is unless you have truly seen its entirety. This beauty is unlike anything you have ever seen before and cannot be described in words.
This is a kind of majestic beauty, a kind of beauty that is so beautiful that people can feel it from the high and deep depths of the sea.
Magnificent, majestic, broad, vast...
The beauty is indescribable and can only be felt when you actually see it.
"This is the earth we live on!"
"Our home planet!"
Ying Yue's heart was surging and he was inexplicably shocked.
"Yingyue, come on, let me see!"
The Eagle-Headed God said impatiently.
"good!"
Ying Yue reluctantly looked away and gave the window to the Eagle-headed God. His reaction was the same as Ying Yue's, he was completely shocked by the charm of the earth.
"This planet is indeed beautiful!"
