[The International Space Station is in danger, and it is urgent to rescue the astronauts.]
"Oh buy it!" - Lucky Bob
"Boeing spacecraft and Crew Dragon spacecraft have failed, what can NASA do to save the astronauts?" - Houston Flying Pig
"Perhaps we can rent a spaceship from the Eastern Tang people to pick up the astronauts." - Optimus Prime
"Why can't the International Space Station withstand debris? But the new Kaohsiung Space Station can?" - Please eat the black watermelon
"A please eat black watermelon, racists, rough rice grains." -Martin Luther King
"Martin Luther King, a scoop of garbage, please eat watermelon." - Western Cowboy
"Are the mentally retarded children above concerned about the lives of the six astronauts on the International Space Station now? Or are they arguing about racial discrimination?" - Paradise
"If the International Space Station is destroyed, mankind's dream of the universe may come to an end." - Centaur
The astronauts on the International Space Station don't know how noisy the Blue Star ground is, but at this moment they are already panicking.
Because a group of satellite debris is moving high towards the International Space Station. Most of these debris are the debris of the military satellite Mao Xiong. Perhaps the military satellite is relatively strong, and the debris is quite large.
International Space Station - Inside the Life Support Module.
Andrew Morgan looked at the status of the debris tracking network and said with a somewhat ugly face: "We must change course, otherwise death will be the only thing waiting for us."
Alexander, the furry bear astronaut, nodded: "I agree to change the orbit immediately. Those debris are too dense. Now the orbit change can avoid 80% of such debris."
"Alexander, we'll start immediately." As a MiLi family astronaut on the International Space Station, and the only male among the three MiLi family astronauts, Andrew Morgan took the responsibility to become the leader of the International Space Station.
The six astronauts are all in the life support module at this time, and this is their last hope.
Under the leadership of Andrew Morgan and Alexander, they began the orbit change operation and activated the orbital motivation control system of the space station.
According to the direction and scope of the debris, they quickly adjusted the engine nozzle, then started the engine to push the space station away from its previous orbit.
A hot tail flame appeared from the engine nozzle, and driven by the reaction force of chemical energy, the International Space Station slowly deviated from its orbit.
Soon the orbit of the International Space Station changed. As long as you work harder, you can use the classified area to leave the debris.
Suddenly, the alarm system inside the space station rang loudly, beep beep beep beep...
[If the centrifuge adjustment cabin is hit by an unknown object, please close the airtight door of the related cabin immediately.]
"Shet! Jessica immediately close the airtight hatch of the centrifuge chamber." Andrew Morgan cursed angrily.
Jessica immediately controlled the hatch closing system and closed the airtight hatch of the centrifuge adjustment chamber.
However, a sudden air leak in the space station affected its direction, and unfortunately, the change was for the worse.
Everyone became nervous, and suddenly there was a violent vibration, followed by a crackling...bumping...collision sound.
[Alert! Node 2 cabin was hit.]
[Alert! The gimbal docking module has been hit.]
…
The shrill sirens were like a big stone pressing on the chests of Andrew Morgan and others.
Although they were already wearing extravehicular space suits, even wearing titanium alloy armor was of no use in the face of debris traveling at more than 7 kilometers per second.
Suddenly, a violent vibration came from the space station, and Christina shouted with a pale face: "The multi-purpose logistics module was destroyed by 47%, and the Sun Country test platform was completely destroyed."
"Close the airtight hatches of each cabin immediately." Andrew Morgan shouted loudly.
"No, Node 1 cabin, multi-functional cargo cabin, Maple Leaf Kingdom cantilever has completely lost control, and other cabins have suffered heavy losses." Jessica replied in panic.
"Fake Squid." Andrew Morgan has given up resistance and can only resign himself to fate. The others also look desperate. In this situation, they have no power to fight back.
Ten minutes later.
The entire International Space Station has been scarred, and many parts have disappeared or been separated from the International Space Station.
Especially those solar panels and heat sinks, 75% of the solar panels and heat sinks were lost. The Maple Leaf Country cantilever and the Sun Country test platform were also destroyed.
Andrew Morgan looked at the life support module that was not seriously damaged and ordered with a trembling tone: "Report the damage to each part."
"The Maple Leaf Country cantilever, the Sun Country test platform were completely destroyed, and 58% of the universal docking was lost..." The more Christina spoke, the paler her face became.
The International Space Station has a total of 17 cabins and a large number of ancillary facilities. After being hit by a debris swarm, about 53% of the ancillary facilities were lost, while the overall loss of each cabin was 34%.
Only the life support module, the docking and storage module, and the Sun Kingdom test module were intact. The other modules were damaged to varying degrees. The most serious centrifuge adjustment module was 84% damaged.
"Jessica, report our situation to the Houston Space Center immediately." Andrew Morgan ordered calmly.
But Jessica remained silent without saying a word.
"Jessica." Andrew Morgan shouted loudly.
Jessica raised her tear-stained head and said with a tearful voice: "The communication system with the ground is no longer usable."
"..." Andrew Morgan became a little desperate.
Another Furry Bear astronaut Oleg said in words that were so plain and frightening: "Bad news, in three hours, we are very likely to encounter another debris group, the direction is between 42.73 and 56.47.
between."
"Oh God! Am I destined to be buried in the stars!" Luca, the astronaut of the Spaghetti Kingdom, crossed himself on his chest.
The life support module is very dull inside, which is the result of the lack of oxygen replenishment. If they cannot find a way to leave the International Space Station, they will not survive for long even if they escape the attack of the debris swarm after three hours.
Because the oxygen in the life support module can only support the breathing of the six of them for about 5 hours, and with the oxygen bottles that come with the spacesuits, it can support up to about 6 hours.
Once the oxygen is depleted, they will surely die.
Suddenly Alexander said: "Do you remember the holographic bracelet that the Qatari billionaire forgot on the space station?"
"Holographic bracelet?" Andrew Morgan thought about it for a while: "It seems that there is such a thing, why do you ask this question?"
"At that time, the rich man from Qatar used it directly on the space station. It seemed that it could communicate over long distances," Alexander said.
"Could it be using the network of our space station?" Andrew Morgan doubted its authenticity.
"Try it, you will be waiting to die here anyway." Alexander said decisively.
After hesitating for a while, Andrew nodded and said, "I agree, but who knows where that thing is placed?"
"It seems that it is in the docking and storage module. It was originally intended to be sent back to the ground, but the spacecraft never came up." After Luca finished speaking, his resentment towards Boeing and Space Exploration Company increased greatly.
He was supposed to change posts with others and return to the ground in January, but the spacecraft had an accident and was unable to come back. After repeated delays, he encountered this unfortunate incident.
