The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 48 – Artemis Project

Time flies, and two months have passed in a flash.

During this period of time, Du Xingyu’s research progress on the moon landing spacecraft has reached 71%, and it should be completed in a month.

At this time, China Space Administration finally announced the updated space program.

In the plan, in addition to some meteorological and communication satellites, the most obvious one is the moon landing plan that has been advanced to this year!

The relevant department also issued a new message that in the future, an annual increase of 20 billion in the budget for aerospace science and technology research and development will be increased year by year.

In the previous ten years, China National Aerospace Science and Research spent less than 50 billion yuan.

In contrast, the US Space Agency’s annual budget is around 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the European Space Agency, the French Space Agency, and the Russian Space Agency’s budgets are all higher than that of China.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately aroused widespread public concern.

People’s Newspaper: “The Ministry of Aerospace announced the latest space plan. The moon landing plan will be ten years ahead of schedule! Planned: The annual budget for space research in the future will increase by more than 20 billion!”

Frostchen: “Support!”

Black Egg: “Go to the moon ten years ahead of schedule, 666!”

Little G: “It looks like the moon landing is coming soon!”

…

With policy support, the moon landing plan has been much smoother.

“Let’s start the last few parts of the research and development, now it should be… the research and development of the lunar rover.” Du Xingyu began to pour energy points into the technology simulator.

“Start the lunar rover simulation…”

The lunar rover will be the main means of transportation for astronauts on the moon, including light machinery, mechanisms, and remote control.

Because the lunar surface has a large temperature difference between day and night, the materials used to manufacture the lunar rover must also be specially designed. Fortunately, the space agency has cooperation with hundreds of universities and thousands of companies in China. As long as there is a need for materials and tasks, it can be arranged.

Due to the complex gravity and surface environment of the moon, the performance of the lunar rover is stronger than that of the earth’s military off-road vehicles, and the lunar rover is also suitable for carrying on the lunar module!

It is worth mentioning that in 2013, the Chang’e-3 launched by China Space Administration had already sent an unmanned “Yutu” lunar rover to the moon.

Chang’e 5, which was launched last time, also has a small unmanned lunar rover, which is responsible for collecting and transporting soil and rock samples on the moon’s surface.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Du Xingyu’s research and development is a manned lunar rover driven by astronauts, which is a bit more complicated.

He directly imported the lunar rover data that the space agency had, and on the science and technology simulator, the research progress of the lunar rover soared to 75%.

“Considering the possibility of entering the crater and other complex conditions, the battery engine power is not enough, and the ejection system must be added…” Du Xingyu slowly perfected the functions of the lunar rover. ”

“The main vehicle can seat six people, so it is necessary to design a folding cargo box for hauling materials.”

“The payload must be miniaturized, so the installation and dynamic problems of the detection instrument, the excavator and the sampling machine also need to be improved…”

With the investment of several million energy points, Du Xingyu pushed the development progress of the lunar rover to 90%.

“There are still some system control parts designed to be completed… However, it is better to add two folding lunar motorcycles, so that in the event of an accident, the astronauts can quickly rescue or deal with crises.”

Du Xingyu continued to add the functions of the lunar rover. One day later, he completely completed the lunar rover simulation.

“The main design of the lunar spacecraft is basically completed, the main design of the lunar module is also completed, and the accessories of the lunar rover are also designed, and then only manufacturing is left.” Du Xingyu knows that manufacturing is often more difficult than designing.

At that time, he will inevitably use technology simulators to simulate the transformation and design of materials and manufacturing design.

The lunar landing engineering team started frantically advancing the manufacturing speed of lunar spacecraft…At the same time, the space agencies and scientific research institutions of other countries were not idle.

It was still the US Space Agency. After the World Astronautical Conference was held, they announced three things at once.

The first is the joint manufacture of a new generation of space stations with other countries; the second is the US plan to return to the moon, which they call the “Artemis Project.”

Artemis is the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology, and the U.S. uses this to distinguish the previous “Apollo Moon Landing Program”.

The US Space Agency announced to the world that the US will return to the moon in the shortest possible time! They have this technology, and they also have this strength!

Fifty years ago, the United States landed on the moon, and it has successfully landed on the moon six times!

Today, the U.S. aerospace technology is more developed, and the moon landing will be easier! This plan is already being implemented. The Blue Origin Company founded by Amazon founder Bezos, and the Space Exploration Technology Company and American Power Systems Company founded by Musk will cooperate with the US Space Agency.

The third thing is that the U.S. Space Agency officially announced its plan to land on Mars and began to recruit cooperative companies. The related orders exceeded several billion US dollars. Including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and other top international aerospace companies have also joined the competition.

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s actions are huge, and once it is announced, it will attract global attention!

The Internet in the United States is full of congratulations, and the American people are proud of the powerful aerospace capabilities of the United States.

Even the owner of the White Palace proudly announced at the press conference: “We have been on the moon several times. Maybe we should go back to our hometown and tell others by the way that there is already a master here.”

The speeches of the American bosses naturally caused great controversy. Scientists and space agencies in other countries have criticized them, saying that the moon belongs to all mankind and does not belong to any country.

Of course, they are also very clear in their hearts, and they can talk about it verbally. Who has the ability to land on the moon, who owns the resources of the moon!

Just like in the previous era of great voyages, the time has come to grab territory on the moon. If anyone is late, they will be abandoned by the space age!

Russia, Star City near Moscow, where the Federal Space Agency is located.

“The moon landing is imperative!” Romonrosov said loudly in the conference room, “The moon is not the property of the Americans, nor is it the property of the Chinese. There should be a space territory of our Russia! ”

“We want to get ahead of the US and China Space Administration!” In the meeting room, everyone was full of fighting spirit.

“We also have moon landing technology!” one person said, “If Korolev had not died of illness, we would have landed on the moon as early as the last century!”

When the United States and the Soviet Union competed in space, the former Soviet Union also invested a lot of money and scientific research to land on the moon.

Korolev, the chief designer of the moon landing program, was a Soviet space hero. Under his plan, the moon landing rocket and spacecraft were only the last step.

But just before the implementation of the moon landing, Korolev died of illness, and the Soviet Union failed to land on the moon, which became a heart disease in the hearts of Russian astronauts.

In any case, they retained the technology at the time, and after so many years of research and development, they are equally confident of landing on the moon.
