As the space plane continues to accelerate, the plane has soon entered the earth''s low orbit space. At this time, the pulse detonation engine of the aircraft also stops working. After all, the pulse detonation engine is terrible for fuel consumption. If the pulse detonation rocket engine is used all the time, The fuel on the aircraft can only support the aircraft to fly to middle orbital space at most.
Therefore, after the aircraft enters the earth''s low orbit space, the aircraft will stop using the pulse detonation rocket engine and convert it into an ionic medium engine to save more fuel. In space, the power generated by the four ionic medium engines on the aerospace aircraft will never be weaker or even stronger than that generated by the pulse detonation rocket engine.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft flying in space, generally, the aircraft''s ionic medium engines will not be fully turned on, only two engines will be turned on, and even these two engines will not run at full power, only 50% of the thrust will be started.
After all, after the aircraft enters orbit, even if the thrust generated by the aircraft engine is small, it will directly act on the speed of the aircraft. There is no need to worry that when the aircraft is in the atmosphere, if the thrust of the aircraft engine is not enough, it will not be able to overcome the thrust generated by the air when the aircraft is flying, and the speed of the aircraft will naturally become slower and slower.
At the same time, because the aircraft and the space station are not in the same orbit and at the same angle, when the aircraft''s ionic medium engine is started and accelerated again, so that the far point of the aircraft orbit reaches the orbit of the space station and meets the space station, the aircraft''s engine is finally closed, and the aircraft begins to move in the universe according to inertia, Follow the set track.
"Hello, passengers, this flight has broken through the atmosphere and entered the intersection orbit of the space station. The space plane will reach the Ziwei space station in two hours. In these two hours, you can move freely. At the same time, the restrictions on the use of electronic products have been reduced. Now you can use electronic devices freely. After this broadcast, I wish you all a happy ending Passengers have a good trip! "As the space plane entered the cross orbit and the engine stopped working, the plane''s radio also rang in time.
When you hear the aircraft broadcast, the glass covers around each seat of the aircraft are also opened in time. Naturally, many people take out their mobile phones for the first time to contact their family or friends on the ground.
As the official reporter on this flight, Luo Daling naturally took out her own equipment for the first time. After opening it, she contacted the ground radio station and began live broadcasting.
"Hello, everyone. It''s a great pleasure to meet you again. Many people may have guessed that my dz0248 space flight has broken through the atmosphere and entered the intersection orbit of Ziwei space station.
Yes, the flight I took has broken through the atmosphere and entered space. I think many people can''t wait to see our mother earth in space. Now let''s focus on her and see her beautiful posture, "Luo Daling said.
When Luo Daling finished, Luo Daling asked the photographer to aim the camera at the earth outside the window.
When Luo Daling also looked at the scenery outside the window, she suddenly cried out: "is this our earth mother? God, it''s really beautiful! I really can''t express her by voice. Really, she''s so beautiful."
The fact is also true. At this time, hundreds of passengers in the whole aerospace plane were staring at the figure of the earth outside the window, and no one spoke, because they had lost their speech ability at this time.
Although everyone present has seen the view from space to the earth countless times in various TV movies or news pictures, there is always a big gap between TV or video and pictures and reality. The earth in the real world is much more beautiful than these.
At this time, as the space plane is getting farther and farther away from the earth, the earth, which originally occupied the whole field of vision, is becoming smaller and smaller. Soon, we can clearly see the whole body of the earth. We all know very well that this beautiful planet in front of us has nurtured the whole human civilization and all creatures on the whole planet.
At the same time, many people are also very clear that for mother earth, human civilization is no different from other creatures on earth in essence. It is her pride, but compared with other creatures on earth, human civilization has gone further.
If one day, human beings leave the earth or disappear forever, then in the near future, mother earth will nurture the next generation of civilization, even more brilliant than human civilization,.
However, all this still needs to wait until human civilization grows up enough to face all the difficulties in the universe, otherwise, human civilization will never get rid of the teachings of mother earth.
"God, it''s really beautiful. Just now, I saw our forbidden city, the Great Wall, our city and the sea. I really found that our human civilization has grown at this time and is no longer the bad child of contentment and destruction in the past. At this time, we have learned to look further into the universe." Luo Daling said.
During Luo Daling''s interaction with the audience, the plane gradually flew towards a higher orbit. Flying in the universe was boring. Although it was said that the altitude of the Ziwei space station was 356000 kilometers from the ground, in fact, if the Phoenix space plane really wanted to reach this altitude and did not dock with the Ziwei space station, it would only take more than ten minutes, You can reach this height.
However, when the space plane must reach the apogee altitude of the plane at the Ziwei space station, it is just about to intersect with the phoenix-5 space plane, and the distance between the two sides cannot exceed five kilometers. Of course, the closer the intersection is to natural starvation, the better. If the distance is more than five kilometers, Then the approach between the two sides is time-consuming and laborious, and the consumption of fuel and booster, that is, the consumption of RCS fuel, will also rise sharply.
As the altitude of the space plane continued to rise and the distance between the space station and the Ziwei space station became closer and closer, the huge body of the Ziwei space station soon appeared in front of everyone.
