The Qinglong-class spacecraft No. 002 has officially entered the side orbit of the new Kaohsiung Space Station. The so-called side orbit is defined by the Space Development Committee itself. Generally, the orbit of a space station or large spacecraft is the main orbit, while the side orbit is temporarily used by spacecraft.
.
There are 16 side tracks in the new Kaohsiung space, including upper track 1 to 4, lower track 1 to 4, left track 1 to 4, and right track 1 to 4.
In fact, these side orbits are equivalent to berths in the port, which means that the new Kaohsiung Space Station can dock 16 spacecraft at one time.
At this time, inside the Qinglong-class spacecraft No. 002, six astronauts had already left the life-sustaining cabin, changed their spacesuits, and were moving around inside the spacecraft.
However, as the pilot Zhang Yunfeng, Chen Liang, and the correspondent Li Xuan, they could not take it lightly. At this time, they were in the cockpit of the spacecraft.
Kaohsiung Base, this is the Qinglong 2 spacecraft, please come back. Li Xuan contacted the fourth control room of the Kaohsiung Ground Control Center through communication equipment.
Qinglong 2 spacecraft, this is the Kaohsiung base, and we have received your information.
The Qinglong 2 spacecraft is allowed to dock in line 1 of the upper orbit.
Kaohsiung Base, Qinglong 2 spacecraft received it. Li Xuan temporarily turned off the communication microphone, turned his head and reported to Zhang Yunfeng: Captain, Kaohsiung Base has given permission for the spacecraft to dock with the space station on line 1 of the upper orbit.
Received, ready for orbital docking.
Zhang Yunfeng and Chen Liang concentrated on adjusting the orbit of the Qinglong-class spacecraft 002 to line 1 of the upper track with the assistance of the autopilot system.
At 12:16, Qinglong-class No. 002 successfully docked with the new Kaohsiung Space Station.
The docking operation between Qinglong-class No. 002 and the new space station was broadcast live on multiple high-definition cameras to audiences around the world.
This is the first time I saw the new Kaohsiung Space Station so clearly, it really looks like a honeycomb.——Dongdao user
It feels bigger than the International Space Station.——Zhao Zilong, Shijiazhuang
Zhao Zilong, Shijiazhuang, please feel it. The new Kaohsiung Space Station is more than twice the size of the International Space Station. - Lu Bu, Baotou
There is no harm without comparison. I heard that Mi Lijia plans to extend the life of the International Space Station to 2030. It seems to be a financial issue. - Grapevine
The crushers of developed countries are not hiahiahia in vain.——Jupiter
When the chairman of Galaxy Technology said that their goal was the stars and the sea, many people regarded it as a joke. Now less than two years have passed and people are already playing in the sky. - Prophecy Emperor
Prophecy Emperor, I remember this, it was mentioned at the 2017 Economic Figure of the Year Award Ceremony.——The changes in the sea.
Wow, astronauts have entered the space station.——Shanmei user
Cabin No. 9 of the New Kaohsiung Space Station. This cabin is docked with the Qinglong-class 002 spacecraft. The airtight hatch on the side of the access bridge near the spacecraft slowly opens.
As the passage bridge connecting the spacecraft and the space station, there are three airtight hatches. Zhang Yunfeng, maintenance man Fang Haibo, space operators Qin Xuexue and Liao Qingsong, drifted across the passage bridge with some discomfort.
As for co-pilot Chen Liang and correspondent Li Xuan, they must stay on board the spacecraft to prevent emergencies.
After the four of them swiped their cards, Zhang Yunfeng entered the passcode.
Huh! The last airtight hatch near the space station's No. 9 cabin slowly opened, and a cabin similar to the ground simulation training ground appeared in front of the four people.
As the four people stepped into Cabin 9 of the new Kaohsiung Space Station, this also officially marked the completion of manned spaceflight by the Galaxy Consortium.
Everyone in the fourth control room of the Kaohsiung Ground Control Center burst into warm applause, and many viewers watching the live broadcast also applauded.
According to the plan, the new Kaohsiung Space Station will have 15 permanent residents and can accommodate about 50 temporary residents. This temporary period refers to one month.
Haibo will study in one group with you, and Qingsong and I will be in the same group. We will check each cabin one by one. Zhang Yunfeng ordered.
Okay. Fang Haibo nodded, and he and Qin Xuexue went to the next cabin.
Zhang Haifeng and Liao Qingsong did a simple check in cabin No. 9. Although the space station has a self-check system, the system program may not be reliable. They checked it manually just in case.
The four of them interacted with the audience on the ground while inspecting.
Zhang Yunfeng pointed to a cabin full of unknown equipment and introduced: This cabin is one of the core cabins of the new Kaohsiung Space Station, and it is no less important than the main control cabin and the energy storage cabin.
This device is called an electromagnetic field generator. Through the electromagnetic field generator, the entire space station can generate a protective magnetic field. This magnetic field blocks the approach of some cosmic rays and charged particles.
Living in the universe, cosmic rays are very dangerous. Without these protective measures, astronauts are very vulnerable to excessive radiation. I believe everyone knows the consequences of excessive radiation.
Zhang Yunfeng was chatting with the audience, while Liao Qingsong was relatively taciturn. He carefully checked the electromagnetic field generator and the entire cabin and found that there were no problems, so he said to Zhang Yunfeng:
Captain, there is nothing wrong with this equipment or cabin.
Then let's go to the next cabin.
In one afternoon, after checking all the cabins of the space station, they also moved the 20 tons of cargo from the Qinglong-class 002 spacecraft into the space station.
The 20 tons of cargo that followed Zhang Yunfeng and others this time were mainly living supplies prepared for them, especially 5 tons of domestic water, which is crucial for astronauts living on the space station.
At 17:20 in the afternoon, the astronauts started eating. Apparently many viewers were very interested in space food and dining.
Dear viewers, you must be very interested in what astronauts eat, so I will briefly introduce it. Zhang Yunfeng took out an aluminum-sealed bag from the food warehouse, and then he and Liao Qingsong took five such bags.
Return to cabin 6 of the space station, which is the restaurant and kitchen of the space station.
Each of these bags is enough for one person to eat in one meal. Zhang Yunfeng picked up one of the bags and explained.
Captain, the audience asked you what is inside. Qin Xuexue looked at the holographic screen and said.
Zhang Yunfeng opened one of the bags and explained: Inside one bag is one staple food, two portions of meat, one portion of vegetables, one portion of fruit, and one portion of snacks. As for drinks or drinking water, you will know later.
The staple food he took was something similar to grilled naan, which was dehydrated food. On one of the special processing tables in the kitchen, he pulled out a water injection pipe, inserted the head of the water injection pipe into the bag, and pressed the grilled naan button.
The water injection pipe injects an appropriate amount of water.
Now that water is added to it, put the staple food bag into the microwave oven, the meat bag and vegetable bag into the special microwave oven, and press the heating button.
Then there are drinks or drinking water, and of course soups and the like, they are here.
Zhang Yunfeng pointed to a machine that was similar to a vending machine nearby, pressed the apple juice option, and a capsule popped out of the machine. The capsule was about the same size as a small sausage.
This granule capsule comes in a variety of drinks and soups. After Zhang Yunfeng finished speaking, he took out a special bottle from the kitchen cabinet.
Seeing that there is no bottle, open the top, insert the capsule inside, and then pour cold water into the bottle, or hot water if it is soup. Zhang Yunfeng explained while operating.
After the water is injected, you can see the live broadcast. Time flies by like a white horse. The live broadcast ends here. Here we wish everyone at Blue Star a happy New Year! See you next time.
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and shook hands with the audience before exiting the live broadcast.
