At this time, the Sun Chaser was already approaching the Mars synchronous orbit while rapidly decelerating.
[Captain, the spacecraft has braked and decelerated and reached the designated speed.] Reported by Masashi Kishimoto.
[Prepare to enter the Mars synchronous orbit.] Fang Tianbo ordered.
[Report, we have connected to the Mars satellite communication system.] Yurihui reports.
That's right, Mars has a satellite communication system of the Human Innovation Alliance. These satellites were previously launched by Dongtang and the Galactic Federation. There are a total of 11 large communication satellites, and their orbits are also in the Mars synchronous orbit area.
The synchronous orbit of Mars is about 17031.568 kilometers, but Mars has two irregular natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos.
Phobos is potato-shaped and orbits Mars three times a day, with an average distance of about 9,378 kilometers from Mars. It is the larger of the two satellites of Mars and the closer to Mars.
The distance between Phobos and Mars is also the shortest among all satellites in the solar system and its host star, only about 6,000 kilometers from the surface of Mars.
Deimos is the smallest satellite of Mars, with an average radius of 6.2 kilometers and an escape velocity of 5.6 m/s (20 km/h). It is the smaller and outer known satellite of Mars.
The distance between Deimos and Mars is 23,460 kilometers, and it orbits Mars in a 30.3-hour period with an orbital speed of 1.35 kilometers per second.
In other words, the synchronous orbit of Mars is between Phobos and Deimos. Although Phobos and Deimos are not large in size and mass, disturbances may still occur in the synchronous orbit of Mars.
[Successfully entered orbit, has been successfully captured by the gravity of Mars, and is undergoing synchronous orbit correction operation] reported by Masashi Kishimoto.
[Yuri reported to Blue Star that we have successfully reached Mars synchronous orbit.] Fang Tianbo quickly gave instructions to Yuri.
Because in the anti-loading liquid, they all communicated by typing quickly through the brain control system.
[Received.] Yuri quickly packaged and sent the relevant information about the Sun Chaser's successful arrival at Mars back to Blue Star.
However, due to distance issues, the distance between the Sun Chaser and Blue Star at this time is 141 million kilometers, and as Mars rotates, it is moving away from Blue Star.
It takes about 470 seconds for the spacecraft's communication system to transmit the communication waves back to Blue Star to reach Blue Star from the Sun Chaser, and it takes about the same time for Blue Star to send it to the Sun Chaser, which means that the fastest time for a round trip is 16 seconds.
About minutes.
About 8 minutes later, the New Changan Space Station received the communication waves from the Zhuri.
"Report, the Sun Chaser has safely reached Mars synchronous orbit."
Bang bang bang... Wang Tiejun and Li Zhongting clapped happily, and others were also very excited. This flight was the first time that humans had officially set foot on a planet other than Blue Star. It also tested the Sun Chaser spacecraft and provided the basis for the construction of a formal
Sublight spacecraft provide extremely valuable experience.
After a while, Li Zhongting calmly ordered: "Reply to the Sun and ask them to carry out their assigned tasks. Finally, I wish them a smooth return to Blue Star."
"Yes." The staff quickly input the information and responded to the communication wave of the Zhuri, which was 141 million kilometers away.
at the same time.
Kaohsiung Space Center, Bazhong Space Center, Tanegashima Space Center, Moscow Space Center, Wenchang Space Center and other ground space centers of the Alliance for Human Innovation also received the good news that the Sun successfully entered Mars synchronous orbit.
"Victory belongs to mankind!"
"Successful."
"Hahaha……"
"We have officially become a cosmic civilization."
"..."
Some people were ecstatic, some cried with joy, some hugged each other or laughed. For a time, the sense of depression caused by the triangular civilization was dissipated a lot.
Soon the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics disclosed relevant information to the public and issued an announcement.
[Warmly celebrate the successful test of the Alliance's first sublight speed spacecraft, the Chaser, and also warmly celebrate the success of the Chaser's achievement of manned reaching Mars synchronous orbit...]
As soon as Break came out, it immediately set the world ablaze.
The Internet Forum, the largest social forum of the Human Innovation Alliance, suddenly started boiling like boiling water.
"The cruising speed of the Sun Chaser can reach 41,400 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to 13.8% of the speed of light. It only takes two or three hours to go back and forth to Mars. Oh my God!" - Shocked UC

“Mars! Sawadika!”——Bangkok user
"Immigration to Mars is just around the corner, and the stars and the sea are no longer a dream." - I want to suck frozen pears.
"That's awesome. I'm proud of the Human Revolution Alliance." - Pandaren

"@nasa, everyone else has developed a sublight speed spacecraft, but now you can't even get out of the atmosphere of Blue Star?" - Cowboy is very busy
"The evil alliance is going to occupy Mars. If we don't take action, we may not even have a chance to get an asteroid." - Black Watermelon
"Wow! What a cool (?▽?) spaceship!" - Star Trek

It is obvious that the social conflicts in the Mi Li family are constantly accumulating and deepening, and the Mi Li family, which has lost its position as the world's leader, is now in dire straits, as internal conflicts and the external environment continue to deteriorate.

NASA, Houston Space Center.
"Madam Congressman, there is nothing we can do now. Your request is too overwhelming." John Burns said in embarrassment.
Alice, a member of the Federal Parliament, asked with an ugly face: "The Federal Parliament has invested 150 billion US dollars this year, plus the original 80 billion US dollars in funding. Now tell me, where are you going to use this money?"
"Ms. Alice, we are not alchemists or magicians. Scientific research projects cannot be successful all at once. We need time." Dr. Archimedes retorted.
"Congressman, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that inflation is too fast." John Burns reminded.
Alice suddenly fell silent. The U.S. dollar has depreciated very much this year. The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar is now only about 60% to 70% of its previous level. However, the federal government's fiscal revenue is declining. Now even the Federal Reserve is printing money like crazy.
It doesn't help, after all, the US oil system is on the verge of collapse, and international trade has been replaced by Mars coins.
"We can provide up to another 50 billion US dollars in special funds. You must give an explanation to the people, otherwise you will know the consequences." Alice said a little crazy.
"We promise to rebuild the space station in 2021 and establish a lunar base in 2025..."
"It's too slow. A lunar base must be established in 2022. This is the deadline." After speaking, Alice turned and left.
John Burns, Dr. Archimedes and others looked at each other in confusion.
