383 Rocket lifts off
When Anne, who was already nervous and uneasy, heard the countdown to launch, felt that her heart was about to jump out.
Subconsciously, he held his father Philip's hand tightly.
Philip, who was also very nervous, had to reach out to hold her and comfort her.
"Don't be nervous, it will be fine, it will be fine, my dear."
Several American senior executives who accompanied Philip were also praying that something would happen.
Otherwise, the situation in the United States will definitely be even more difficult.
Therefore, Li Changheng must wait for Apollo 14, but not the following No. 15, 16 and 17, and it is accurate to calculate that No. 14 is definitely the highest-level, relevant capitalists, enterprises, and project teams in the United States do not want to fail.
On Saturn 5, Li Changheng heard a buzzing sound again.
This time Jim couldn't help but say, "The fuel tube is off, and we have entered the launch process.
You will find that just a few vibrations will happen and we will enter space."
Losa nodded nervously, while Li Changheng rolled his eyes and glanced at the abandonment launch button in front of Jim.
Then Jim raised his hands, his fingers wearing astronaut gloves kept shaking, and his eyes were also on the abandon button.
"The countdown to launch is 15 seconds, 15, 14,,."
While Li Changheng and the other two were cheering each other up, they launched the viewing stands. Amid the noise, Annie stood up nervously and stared at the huge rocket in the distance.
“10,9,8,7,6, the ignition program starts.”
As the rocket began to shake violently, when a "launched" sound came, only a huge roar was left in his ears.
Then before he could react, a loud bang sound came, and huge flames and smoke spewed out from the bottom of the rocket, ranging from dozens of meters or hundreds of meters.
Under the huge vibration, ice began to fall on Saturn 5's shell.
"The Rockets took off into the air, and the Rockets took off in the air."
110 meters and weighs 3038.5 tons. In human history, whether in the past or the future in decades, Saturn 5, which has the largest thrust-weight ratio, began to fly into the sky with an unyielding momentum.
"Houston, the rocket has left the launch tower, the rocket has left the launch tower."
Horn, who was on Houston, held the pen in his hand tightly and said to the microphone, "I understand, we will take over the rest, thank you."
In the stands, Anne held her hands in front of her chest and kept muttering, "Fly, come on, come on, come on, be sure to fly."
On the side of Li Changheng, Luo Sa, who was sitting on the far left, kept spinning his eyes on the various dashboards, and then said excitedly, "The speed is normal, the flight trajectory is normal."
After 50 seconds, the rocket rose into a height of 10,000 meters. Jim looked at the green track dashboard and said excitedly, "The track is normal, the track is normal, guys, the most difficult thing has passed."
135 seconds later, the Rockets had already rushed to a height of 60,000 meters, and Jim shouted again, "The countdown to the separation of the first stage thruster."
Houston's voice immediately came from Li Changheng's headphones, "I understand that the protective layer between the secondary thruster and the primary thruster is being separated."
After a "bang" sound, the protective layer broke away, and Jim shouted, "The protective layer has broken away" while shouting.
As he reached out his hand and operated on the control button. "Manually disengage the first-stage thruster, the countdown was 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, gentlemen sat firmly, and there would be a little shaking next."
When Jim shouted 1, the rocket that rushed forward quickly seemed to step on the brakes after the thruster left.
Li Changheng and the other two who were fixed on the flying chair suddenly felt a huge reaction force and pushed themselves forward.
Even though Li Changheng has super strong overload ability, he still feels discomfort in his stomach.
The blood in Jim and Losa's bodies instantly left a lot on his face and chest, and his face suddenly turned red, and then accompanied by a brief sense of dizziness.
The second-level thruster of Saturn 5 was separated from the 42-meter-long first-level thruster with a "bang".
Then the secondary thruster automatically ignites, pushing the three people with their heads forward back into the back of the chair.
Lee Changheng joked, “This is what you said a little bit of shaking?”
Jim smiled and said, it was still very pleasant to be able to play with Li Changheng.
Then he reached out and opened the protective cover of the button of the abandonment escape system, looked at Li Changheng and Luosa, and saw that neither of them had any expression and pressed their fingers.
The escape tower at the front of the rocket automatically departed and fell toward the earth.
After 5 minutes and 40 seconds, the fuel of the second stage rocket was about to be consumed, and the sound of Houston leaving the thruster came from the headphones again.
However, this time Jim doesn't need to manually do it, but has a command center to control it.
After the ten-second countdown, the feeling of the body rushing forward turned again, and Li Changheng and the other two understood that the second-level thruster had successfully escaped.
"The third thruster ignition."
165 seconds later, another voice came from his ears, "The third thruster was shut down, the engine was successfully shut down, and it was flying around the earth, waiting to enter the orbit of the departure from gravity and enter the orbit to the moon."
Two hours later, the third thruster ignited again, and this time it took the longest run.
335 seconds later, "Titan, Titan, has escaped from gravity and is flying to the moon. Good luck, guys."
"Thanks".
After confirming that there was no problem, Jim smiled and held the transparent hood with both hands and twisted it.
With a "click", he saw that he had taken off his hood, and then as soon as he let go, the hood was suspended in the air.
Seeing this, Li Changheng and Losa also smiled and began to take off their hood, gloves and space suits.
However, after a brief cheerful atmosphere, Lothar was responsible for connecting the command module and the lunar module.
As for the reason, you can first look at the structure of Apollo 14 and you will understand it.
An accident occurred when an astronaut was trapped in the command compartment by a fire.
So the escape towers were installed on the top of the rockets later.
Then the command module where the astronaut is located must be connected to the escape tower.
Once there is a problem, the escape tower fled with the command cabin, carrying a large amount of fuel to the rocket.
Therefore, these two equipment must be placed in the first and second positions.
Next is the service cabin linked to the command cabin.
The bottom of the service bilge is a thruster used to break out of the moon's orbit, and the fire spitting port will definitely occupy a port.
Below the service cabin is the lunar module placed in the third thruster, fairing.
Because the lunar module does not need to consider returning to the earth, and there is no atmosphere on the moon, its shell is actually very thin and large in size, so it must be placed in the fairing so that it will not be damaged during liftoff.
In other words, in space, the lunar module must be separated from the fairing and then docked with the connected command module and service modules, so that the lunar module is at the forefront and flew to the moon.
The command module and service module connected together are connected to the lunar module hidden in the third thruster fairing.
