Returning is more difficult than launching.
At the beginning, when Gagarin went to the sky, the spacecraft Ascension did not intend to bring Gagarin directly back to the ground. When the spacecraft was still some distance away from the ground, Gagarin was ejected. Landed with a parachute.
The spaceship that followed, took the astronauts and returned to the ground together with a huge parachute.
It was not until the space shuttle that this situation changed. When the space shuttle landed, it could land directly like an ordinary plane, which greatly improved the adaptability of the astronauts. There was no need for special training, and even ordinary female teachers could can go to heaven.
But now, when it comes to aerospace planes, it is even more advanced. Aerospace planes can take off and land like ordinary planes, fly directly out of the atmosphere, and then fly back. This kind of aerospace plane has not been studied in later generations.
There is no urgency, the spaceship is enough, and secondly, the technical problems have not been overcome, relying on rocket power, ordinary jet power, not enough.
But now, the United States has made it, after all, the United States is quite urgent, if there is no such aerospace plane, they are dead!
This kind of aerospace plane could have returned directly to the ground, looking for the airport to land, especially, when the speed is low, it can be converted into an ordinary jet engine, just like an ordinary plane, it has always been the dream of aeronautical engineers, Thirty years ahead of schedule!
Unfortunately, this also requires a premise, that is, if there is fuel, if there is no fuel, then everything is in vain.
Just like now, how can an aerospace plane with almost exhausted fuel be able to return home smoothly?
Robert had no choice. He operated it carefully. Now, he first needs to adjust the attitude of the aerospace plane so that the tail is forward!
After several times of attitude adjustment, the jet of the nozzle has been adjusted and everything is normal!
Then, just turn on the engine and let the engine jet forward, then the spacecraft on your side will slow down! And after slowing down, it will go head-to-head!
This must be controlled well. If the deceleration is too fast, the savage will be too hard. As a result, the aerospace plane will fall into the atmosphere like a stone and then burn up.
If the deceleration is too slow and the posture is wrong, it will be like a drifting water, and it will be ejected by the atmosphere again, and it will not be able to enter the atmosphere at all!
After several unforgettable knocks, finally, the goddess of the dawn decelerates gracefully, and then, correctly along the five-degree glide angle, goes towards the atmosphere!
"The posture is correct." Yorkson said, he continued to look at the monitor a few times, but found that something was wrong: "Quick, we have to turn one hundred and eighty degrees!"
This kind of aerospace plane has all the openings in the upper part. There must be openings for refueling in the air, and openings for launching missiles. These openings must not be able to withstand too much impact.
Therefore, it is necessary to turn one hundred and eighty degrees so that the belly of this aerospace fighter faces the front! There is a special layer of material on the belly of the aircraft, which can offset the heat generated by friction. If the back of the aircraft rubs forward, there is only one outcome!
Robert was also aware of this problem. He pushed the operating lever and wanted to change the attitude of the aerospace fighter. Unfortunately, the red light in front began to flash, and the gas cylinders used to adjust the attitude were exhausted!
Attitude can no longer be adjusted!
"No!" Robert shouted loudly, through the special piece of glass, you could see that black smoke was rising outside, the temperature of the fuselage rose rapidly, and almost ten seconds later, the entire fuselage turned into a fireball !
A beautiful meteor appeared in the sky.
Baikonur.
"A few minutes ago, one of our Scythia 4s lost contact with us." When he got this news, Nikolai's face was very ugly.
Now, there are six Scythian laser cannons in orbit in space, which are not enough to be used in all directions. Now that the Soviet army is fighting in Alaska, the Americans have good reasons to launch nuclear bombs at the Soviet Union. , laser cannon, is the biggest support of the Soviet Union!
Now, this laser cannon has lost one again!
"It seems that we have to adjust the Blizzard's mission. After they have replenished the energy for Scythia 1, adjust the orbit and let them repair Scythia 4." Nikolaie told Logino-Lo who was beside him. Kinski said.
At this time, on the launch pad outside, the Blizzard is about to conduct the second launch experiment. This launch will be a manned launch, and at the same time, the Scythia 1, which was originally launched, will be repaired.
Scythia 1 is the first space laser cannon. This cannon shocked the Americans and gave the Soviet Union peace of mind. It has actually been out of service, but it is still in good condition, but the gas laser needs to be supplemented with new ones. Gas, as well as adding new energy to the engine!
This task fell to the Blizzard. Although the Soyuz can still be launched, the Soyuz does not have sufficient carrying capacity to supplement Scythia, and this second Blizzard launch is a new beginning. , Since then, Soviet astronauts can repair their own spacecraft in space!
"This will be very dangerous," said another engineer: "We still found that there were many small metal fragments next to Scythia 4. "
Metal shards! Nikolaiye and Logino exchanged glances, and both saw the unease in each other's eyes: "Investigate immediately, when our Scythia lost control, were there any other spacecraft nearby?"
The measurement and control data were quickly mobilized. With the gradual increase of the Soviet spacecraft, the aerospace measurement and control became quite heavy. Massive data gathered, and they usually did not investigate every data. This is simply impossible. They can only pick a few studies from it.
Now, when the required data comes together, it seems rather strange.
"That is to say, we can only know the situation of this spacecraft outside the atmosphere, but we can't know how it suddenly appeared?"
It's quite strange that a new spacecraft suddenly appeared, but I don't know how this spacecraft appeared!
"Yes, we have monitored all the launch sites of the spacecraft in the United States, and we have not found any spacecraft that they have launched, and they are still in orbit."
"Is it from another country, such as France, or China?"
Impossible, their launches are even more pitiful, and every time they launch publicly, it is impossible for us not to know.
Now, outer space is controlled by the Soviet Union. France is very honest. Every time it launches, it is public. It just wants to let the Soviet Union know that now, it is France that launched it, and it has nothing to do with the Jews. Don’t use lasers. Cannons are coming at us.
There was concern in Logino's eyes: "It seems that there is only one possibility, the Americans have invented more advanced spacecraft, such as aerospace planes."
