Chapter 386 : What kind of moth will come out again
After the Yutu probe entered space, what happened next was a new challenge for Jiang Fan and the others.
The distance between Blue Star and the moon is still more than 350,000 kilometers.
The beautiful country's probe once flew from Blue Star to the moon for about 120 hours, about 6 days!
Time is not the biggest issue for the probe and getting to the moon!
The most important thing is the lunar orbit in space!
The moon is always in motion and is not static, so Jiang Fan and the others must calculate the movement trajectory of the moon and the speed of the probe's flight, so that the probe can enter the moon's polar orbit!
During the flight of the probe, it is necessary to constantly correct the flight trajectory to ensure that it can finally enter the moon accurately.
Jiang Fan and a group of technicians made adjustments to the moon's path again!
As a result, they found that the moon will reach its closest distance to the blue star in two hours, and then the distance will slowly increase again!
If the distance is increased, more fuel will be consumed by the detector, and at the same time, it will be more difficult for the Blue Star to control the detector!
Originally, according to the plan, after entering space, the Yutu probe would enter the high-altitude orbit of the moon after traveling for 4 hours!
But under the current situation, Jiang Fan decided to speed up and try to enter the polar orbit of the moon in two hours!
According to Blue Star's previous lunar landing technology, the probe would need 5-6 days to fly in the sky before finally entering the lunar orbit!
However, the initial time setting for the Jade Rabbit detector developed by Jiang Fan was four hours, but now he has actually increased the speed and is preparing to complete the space distance between the Blue Star and the Moon in two hours!
If the Dragon Kingdom accomplishes this feat, it will definitely shock everyone’s jaws!
"What's the status of the Yutu detector's fuel?" Jiang Fan asked
"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Jiang, the Yutu detector currently has 81% of its fuel remaining. Do you want to open the solar panels?"
"No need!" Jiang Fan denied, and then he asked, "The average speed of the detector reaches 3000 meters/second.35000 kilometers, how much fuel does the Yutu detector need to consume!"
The technician started working on the computer, and after a while he said to Jiang Fan!
"Will consume 60% of fuel."
"60% fuel?"
Jiang Fan fell into thinking. Currently, the Yutu probe still has 81% of the fuel. If it accelerates to the moon at full speed, the probe will only have 21% of the fuel left!
Adding in the 15% of fuel consumed after entering the moon, there is only 6% of fuel left!
The probe will use solar panels for its work after landing on the moon, and the fuel will only be used in emergencies!
Then, Jiang Fan issued an order!
"After entering the predetermined orbit to the moon, accelerate the Yutu detector to more than 3,000 meters/second!"
"Above 3000 meters/second?"
All the technicians looked surprised. They knew very well that this would consume a lot of fuel!
"Commander Jiang, isn't this too risky! I suggest that we stick to the originally planned time!"
"Yes, Commander Jiang, if there is insufficient fuel, it will seriously affect the moon landing!"
When Jiang Fan heard what everyone was worried about, he simply explained!
"Two hours later, the distance between the moon and the blue star will be the closest, and the angle at which the probe will enter the lunar orbit is also the best at this time. Our success rate is higher!"
"But the key is, our fuel..."
One of the technicians was already worried about the lack of fuel in the detector!
"Don't worry about this problem. According to the plan, there should be no problem!" Jiang Fan said!
When everyone heard Jiang Fan say this, they didn't say anything. After all, Jiang Fan is their commander-in-chief!
But they are already a little worried. You know, increasing the speed will consume half of the detector's original fuel!
One of the old technicians walked up to Mr. Long and whispered!
"Mr. Long, I feel that Commander Jiang's approach is a bit too risky!"
Mr. Long smiled and said, "Lao Gao, Jiang Fan is the commander-in-chief now, but judging from the probability of success, I think his probability of success is higher!"
"Higher?"
The old technician looked surprised. You must know that the fuel of the detector will be less if you use it a little, so he thinks that leaving enough fuel to deal with unknown situations is the safest!
However, since Mr. Long has said this, he can’t refute anything!
I had no choice but to return to my position and carry out Jiang Fan's orders!
"Get ready to enter the moon orbit!"
Technicians began to control the Yutu probe and enter the predetermined space orbit!
"The Yutu probe has entered the moon orbit!"
"Adjust the speed to 3000 meters/second!" Jiang Fan continued to order!
International Space Alliance live broadcast room!
The director of China's Space Administration, Bor, saw that Longguo's probe entered space.
He was very surprised. He thought that based on the fuel consumed by the previous Dragon Kingdom detector, it would be difficult for the Yutu detector to enter space!
Now it seems that he still underestimated Longguo's detector!
However, after the Dragon Kingdom's Yutu probe entered space, it did not enter the moon orbit. This will be a severe test for the Dragon Kingdom's probe!
"Director Boer, do you think that if the Dragon Kingdom enters space in such a hasty manner, they can accurately enter the orbit of the moon?" the host asked!
"This is hard to say!"
Although Boer didn't think that Dragon Kingdom's detector could enter the orbit of the moon, he still gave an ambiguous answer!
Before the main event, Longguo's detectors seemed to have a grudge against him and were always going against him!
Now he still feels a little sore from being beaten on the face!
Not long after Boer answered, Dragon Kingdom's detector quickly entered the orbit of the moon!
When Bol saw this, he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he didn't say that Dragon Kingdom would definitely not be able to enter the orbit of the moon!
Otherwise, you will be slapped in the face again!
Because he escaped a disaster, he showed a happy smile on his face and then said!
"Dragon Kingdom's performance this time is quite eye-catching. It has actually entered the orbit of flying to the moon!"
Moderator: "Director Boer, after the probe enters the lunar orbit, how long does it usually take to reach the moon?"
When Bol heard the host's question, he immediately regained his previous confidence. For him, he was the authority on this question!
"After the detector enters the lunar orbit, it usually takes about 110-130 hours! That is, 5-6 days!"
"So long?" the host asked doubtfully!
"There are reasons why it takes so long. First, the orbit to the moon is not a straight line. When the probe flies, it needs to be corrected many times to prevent it from deviating from the orbit. Second,..."
Not waiting for Bol to finish speaking!
The Yutu detector in the live broadcast room suddenly accelerated, which stopped Bol who was talking!
At the same time, he said helplessly in his heart!
Damn it!
Chapter completed!
