Chapter 274 The Fourth Moon Landing



Even if they knew about the Indians' proposal, they would just laugh it off.

Ye Neng was pleased with Chen Dong's optimism.

As a veteran who has undertaken numerous Chinese space missions, he knows the importance of having optimists in the team:

"I believe we will successfully complete this lunar base construction mission, or rather, we must complete it."

I just don't think it will go as smoothly as we expect.

Success after experiencing some setbacks is still success.

However, in order to minimize the setbacks we encounter along the way, we need as many contingency plans as possible.

We need to think repeatedly about any potential problems.

Didn't we also have an accident when we first went to the lunar space station?

China's lunar space station is located in the lunar libration point, which is the "ring orbit" of the previously mentioned L2 point.

The concept of a ring orbit was first defined in NASA's plans in the 1980s.

NASA initially planned to set up a lunar remote data relay satellite in ring orbit, but this plan was later changed to a lunar space station.

Later, this position was occupied by Chinese people.

Satellites orbiting along the ring orbit maintain line-of-sight contact with both the Earth and the far side of the Moon.

From the lunar surface, the entire ring orbit has an angle of only 6.2 degrees.

"You mean after we docked, we found that the satellite had shifted and could no longer stay in the ring orbit?"

To keep a satellite in its ring orbit, energy is required for position maintenance.

However, when their satellite was launched and docked with the lunar space station, this balance was affected.

The low-thrust direction of the lunar space station has been affected.

In other words, if they continue to operate along the predetermined orbit after entering the space station, they will break away from the ring orbit.

"Yes, because we were in lunar orbit and didn't land on the moon, we were still able to receive technical support from Earth," Ye Neng nodded.

At that time, Chinese scientists on Earth proposed an optimized method for long-term stationing in a lunar halo orbit to address the deorbiting crisis of the lunar space station.

This method discretizes each half-turn into segments and uses a set of pseudo-pulses for each segment.

The characteristic velocity of the pseudo-pulse and matrix inequalities are used to transform the problem into a large-scale linear programming expression.

Terminal constraints can be expressed as linear matrix equations using the numerical partial derivatives of the reference orbit.

Simultaneously, an iterative firing algorithm based on a full ephemeris model and differential correction is used. Preliminary simulation and comparative results for a one-year long-term stationary strategy are presented.

The algorithm for maintaining novel low thrust for an extended period of time was estimated using the method described above.

They also recalculated the operations they needed to perform and the thrust-to-weight ratio required for the space station.

Everyone at the Blue Star launch site was panicked at the time.

Having escaped the ring orbit, they will be forced to land on the moon according to the calculated trajectory.

Even without physical injury, after landing on the moon, they would not have enough oxygen and supplies to sustain them until they were rescued from Earth.

Not to mention, if we were to relaunch the lunar space station, America might beat us to it and occupy point L2.

The occupation of L2 point is equally unacceptable to China.

This means that they will have to start all over again to build a base on the moon, not to mention investing even more money.

China's budget for the aerospace field is less than half that of America, so every penny is precious.

To solve this problem, China sent a mage with a mathematics background to participate in the solution and spent a magoin to rent the biological cloud brain.

This is also the first time that BlueStar Bio has used the biological cloud brain function.

Zheng Li was surprised when he received the notification. He thought, "This feature I set up has finally been used by someone after so long."

If you guys don't use it, I'll start to wonder if this feature is even useful.

China has discovered the functions of a biological cloud brain, which is suitable for top geniuses to use when tackling world-class problems.

Ye Neng continued, "You should know that there are high-energy particles and solar wind on the moon."

"Communication with Earth will definitely be affected."

Unlike growing vegetables on the moon, there is a lot of research on communication between Earth and the moon, because it is a communication problem.

Furthermore, lunar rovers will need to address communication issues.

The data from the lunar rover needs to be transmitted back to Earth.

As early as the 1940s, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, scientists on Earth were already studying how to achieve daily communication between the Moon and Earth.

The IRE meeting minutes contain a complete solution for daily communication between the Moon and Earth; IRE was the name of IEEE before its name change.

Of course, this solution only addresses the principle; it doesn't mean they actually solved the problem.

"The main problem is that communication with Earth will be severely delayed or even impossible."

"If we encounter any accidents on the moon, we can only rely on ourselves first."

Therefore, it's always good to be prepared.

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we built an LTE base station at the lunar base the second time?"

In China's lunar base construction plan, the first trip up the lunar base was mainly to complete the construction of the main living area and then plant vegetables.

The second time we go up, we need to set up the LTE base station, research environment and other supplementary environments.

Ye Neng smiled and said, "Preparation is the key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure. We need to make more preparations."

China's plan to land on the moon and build a lunar base is scheduled for mid-March, which is the day of the Dragon Raising its Head.
