when the spacecraft has finished the acceleration phase, there will be basically no problems.
When ye Su gave the command to enter the cruise mode, all the crew members took a long breath and released their nervous tension a little.
Just when the spaceship accelerates, the crew need to pay attention to a lot of things. The spaceship in the acceleration phase is very busy, but when it comes to the stage of smooth flight, there is a lot less to be done.
When the trailblazer was converted to cruise mode, only a part of the crew was required to care about the condition of the spacecraft, and no operation was required.
In cruise mode, the crew doesn't need to control anything. Anyway, there's nothing in space. The pioneer can fly straight to the target, even turning.
This mode is also the normal mode of spaceships. After the acceleration, the crew can relax and even take turns to have a rest.
If the crew had been as nervous as they had just been, they would not have been able to stay in space for too long.
For example, when a spaceship is on a long-distance voyage, it will be in cruise mode most of the time.
It won't take long to accelerate, and it will basically be in a stable flight state.
In fact, for the crew on a spaceship, in addition to the acceleration during takeoff and deceleration when arriving at the destination, there is not much work to be done at other times.
A lot of the work that needs manpower to do has been replaced by the robot on the spaceship.
When in cruise state, the crew should do is the usual maintenance.
Routine maintenance is what long-distance space travel needs to do. The purpose is to keep the whole spacecraft running well during the long flight.
The flight from earth to Neptune in the solar system is really a short journey compared with the years of intergalactic flight.
This test flight, a short flight of several hours, does not even need to be done for routine maintenance.
Now the astronauts can finally take a break, and Yesu, the temporary captain, can relax for a while and enjoy the space trip.
Ye Su carried the ice drink inside and went to the front of the bridge.
Here you can see the view outside the spacecraft through the transparent window in the front section of the spacecraft.
Now that the pioneer's speed has reached half the speed of light, it can see the cosmic scenery at this speed, which is totally different from usual.
In Yesu's eyes, the surrounding stars fly backward at high speed, which is a visual error caused by the spacecraft moving.
In particular, the appearance of the planets in the solar system is changing very fast. Because these planets are relatively close to the spacecraft, the visual changes are very obvious.
Ye Su looked at the changing scenery outside the spaceship and tasted the ice drink in his hand. This feeling still made him feel very good.
Jupiter soon appeared in Yesu's eyes, and the gas planet was still very special.
It's like the planet is full of flowing gas, all kinds of gas interweave a kind of wonderful scenery.
Especially the big red spot on Jupiter, Yesu can see it at a glance.
The great red spot is a giant updraft, 40000 kilometers long, which makes this Jupiter's red spot look very obvious.
Jupiter's great red spot has been around for hundreds of years, which means the storm has been blowing for hundreds of years.
This storm may last for a long time. I don't know how long it will take to stop.
After a period of time, trailblazer slowly moved away from Jupiter, the giant gas planet, which was becoming smaller and smaller in Yesu's eyes.
Soon the Explorer entered the voyage between Jupiter and Saturn, left Jupiter and began to fly toward Saturn.
Yeosu has been looking at the scenery outside the spacecraft, watching the Saturn in front of him growing bigger and bigger.
After another period of flight, the explorer finally approached Saturn's orbit.
Saturn began to become clear in Yesu's eyes, allowing him to see the full picture of Saturn.
The first thing that left Yesu with a deep image is Saturn's iconic rings.
Saturn's rings, located around Saturn's equator, are made up of large pieces of gravel and ice.
The huge ring around the real Saturn, it seems very shocking.
From a close look at Saturn, it looks like a ball of many rings.
The earth yellow color of the planet's surface with the surrounding circle of rings, it seems to have an unspeakable beauty.
Because of the speed of the pioneer, Yesu was not able to watch Saturn for a long time. Soon, the pioneer ignored Saturn and continued to fly toward Neptune.If you don't have a good look at Saturn, Yesu has no regrets.
Anyway, if you have time, you can come here at will. This trial voyage is more important.
After watching the view of Saturn, Yesu sat back to his seat with satisfaction.
The main purpose of Yesu's coming here is to enjoy the views of different planets in the solar system.
Because now there is nothing to see, so Ye Su also sat back.
After that is the distance from Saturn to Uranus, but this time Ye Su can't see Uranus.
Because Uranus is on the other side of the orbit, on the back of the sun, not in the same orbit as Neptune.
The trailblazer won't make a detour at this distance, so I'll have to wait for another time.
After seeing the scenery outside the spaceship, Ye Su quietly waited for the spaceship to arrive at its destination.
After a few hours of flight, pioneer finally arrived at the end of the test voyage, Neptune, the most distant planet in the solar system.
Neptune's appearance slowly appeared in Yesu's eyes, so he had to get up again and walk to the front of the bridge to observe the mysterious planet carefully.
The planet has a pale blue appearance, and Neptune seems to be filled with sea water, especially from a little farther away.
Maybe that's why Neptune's name comes from. It looks like a planet full of sea water.
