Chapter 237 Happy astronauts!

"We need to connect, get closer, get closer!"

"From this perspective, the orbital shuttle is really big. The core cabin on the axis and the Tianzhou spacecraft are only a little over 27 meters. The node cabin and the Wentian Experimental Cabin next to it are less than 20 meters. Because it is necessary to connect to it, the manned spacecraft will turn below the node cabin. If you don't look at the solar panels, it is basically the same as the orbital shuttle with a length of 25 meters and a wingspan of 20 meters."

"In fact, it's not that the orbital shuttle is big, it's just that the Tiangong Space Station is small now. Just like the space shuttle docked with the International Space Station back then, the space shuttle is also a huge lump in comparison."

"I have also seen the docking CG between the fork's starship and the International Space Station, hahaha, the International Space Station is not as big as the Starship."

"It would be great if humans had a huge space station. I don't know if they could see it in their lifetime."

"Humans are still too weak, how can they fight aliens?"

"Is this weak? Didn't someone say that Meriken would modify two space shuttles? I asked me to change the space shuttle. This orbital shuttle is the best carrier of space fighter. Based on this orbital shuttle, it will be changed to a space fighter, and then equipped with one thousand of them. When aliens come, they will directly leave them in the earth's orbit and become 'earth rings', so that they can show off!"

"What are you thinking about? If there is an extra ring on the earth, it will be even more difficult for humans to enter space. What bad ideas are you going to come up with!"

"Damn, I finally paid attention to the slightly more peaceful space news, and I'm waiting for commercial space tourism. Can you calm down?"

"That's right, I've been talking about aliens, where are aliens? I don't even know whether the thing in Mars orbit is an alien's probe. I'm talking about aliens every day. Don't let the aliens come yet, you'll scare yourself to death first."

"Stop talking, start connecting. Isn't it good to concentrate on watching live broadcasts..."

But no, when some people started arguing over inexplicable things, the orbital shuttle in space was already very close to the unfinished Tiangong Space Station.

Its counter interface is opened, and the square counter interface extends out and shrinks into a circular counter interface, facing the counter interface of the space station. Under the action of the attitude adjustment nozzle, it slowly leans up.

"Click~"

Looking at the docking screen displayed by the surveillance camera, the sound of the sound of the transmission into the cockpit through solid vibration made the two astronauts know that the aircraft and the space station were encountered. Then the flight control computer prompted in a pleasant female voice: "The docking is completed, the air tightness is good, and the air pressure is being balanced."

"Prepare, it's time for us to play."

Du Kangsheng said something and took off his helmet.

He had been wearing a helmet before. Li Yuling took it off for a while while conducting the simulation introduction, and then put it on again after she came back.

This is the first manned test, so it is important to pay attention to safety. When it is confirmed later that the orbital shuttle is different from the manned spacecraft and has higher safety, you can no longer wear helmets throughout the journey, just like civil aviation passenger planes.

That’s when it’s time to start commercial space tourism.

While the two took off their helmets, they heard a pleasant female voice reminding: "The air pressure is stable and you can open the hatch at any time."

This time is much faster than the average flat pressing time.

The audience who heard this prompt were also watching the live broadcast. They also knew that the critical moment was coming. Seeing the two pilots floating to the docking door, the picture of the Tiangong Space Station was also connected to the live broadcast screen, and the movements of a total of five astronauts on both sides could be seen.

Du Kangsheng first opened the shuttle's hatch door, and then Stationmaster Wang Ping on the other side of the space station opened the hatch door of the space station.

The moment the hatch opened, the people on the ground cheered, and the people in the space cheered.

"Welcome to the Tiangong Space Station."

"Thank you, hello!"

"Hahaha, newcomers are here, welcome!"

"Hello, hello!"

The five astronauts hugged and shook hands, and they spoke various welcome words. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Du Kangsheng and Li Yuling are not the first "private astronauts" to enter space and space stations. After all, wealthy people have spent a lot of money to buy tickets for manned spacecraft to enter the International Space Station.

"Dart X" is not the first private spacecraft to send astronauts into space and connect with the space station. After all, it has a manned dragon spacecraft with space forks in front of it.

But this is the first time that the private space company's spacecraft sends private astronauts into the space station.

Not to mention that the mission of "Dart X" has many halos.

For example, it is the first single-stage manned spacecraft on Earth to enter orbit.

And it is a single-stage rail shuttle, the kind that can be reused.

It is equipped with astronauts, not just space tourists.

These halos have strengthened their "fame" time and time again, and have also brought about this wonderful performance today.

After the five astronauts laughed, Du Kangsheng said to Wang Ping: "Do you want to go to the 'dart' to have a look? We have brought you a lot of gifts."

As he said that, he also made a request gesture.

But at this time, he supported the cabin roof of the space station with his other hand, and his feet hooked the fixing ring on the floor, which was quite unique in shape.

"Of course, this is the first time we have received this form of gift." Wang Ping said happily.

The result was that Du Kangsheng and Li Yuling had just arrived at the space station from the orbital shuttle, and now they have taken the lead in going back, followed by three space station astronauts.

The 2.5-ton capacity of the "Dart X" orbit shuttle is not outstanding compared to that of a specialized cargo spacecraft, especially compared with the cargo spacecraft with a load capacity of about 6 tons in service in various space powers.

But it is not a special cargo aircraft. Its main function is to carry people more stable, and cargo is just by the way.

Even shipping is to carry some high-precision and valuable items that are particularly sensitive to vibration and pressure.

This time it has such a task.

The Navigator Company has released some experimental equipment and some related equipment in the space station. This docking experiment just transported the equipment and results back to the ground and replaced it with new experimental equipment.

In addition to these, I also brought a lot of supplies.

For example, fresh fruit.

This thing is rare in the space station, but it is more nutritious pills and brewing powder, so they can be happy for a while every time fresh fruit appears in the supply.

Yes, fresh fruits can not only play a good role in mental regulation, but also in spirit.

So after entering, Du Kangsheng first opened the package for storing fruits, then took out a green apple and threw it to Wang Ping: "Give it, fresh green apples, refreshing, crispy, moderately sweet and sour."

"Wuhu, your gift is awesome!" Astronaut Liang Junming said cheering.

Wang Ping took the green apple that floated over and smelled the unique taste of fresh fruits, and handed it to Wu Yue, who was also surprised and said, "Turn everything to the resource cabin first. I think today's dinner will definitely be very sumptuous."

"Yes, move things!"

"Haha, I'll move this bag of apples!"

"Stop being fooled, the five of us form a conveyor belt to let everything float."

"Hehe, listen to the webmaster, two of you, we have prepared a lot of delicious food today and brought out all the food we usually improve our food..."
Chapter completed!
