After this mission, Lin Fan felt like vomiting whenever he saw the Blue Star Instrument and the world map.
But there are also benefits.
After so many times of circling around, she was almost familiar with the world geography, the distribution of various G countries and their main regions.
Although the standby time did not increase significantly this time, the rest time was slightly shortened.
A week later, Lin Fan came to the launch tower again.
But this time, she did not go to the top of the launch tower, but stood at the bottom of the tower.
A space capsule is hanging on the launch tower's fixed frame. It is the target of this mission - a meteorological observation satellite to be sent into space.
The launch center really didn't expect that Xingchen's flight plan would go so smoothly and recover so quickly.
While they were overjoyed, in order to ensure the smooth launch of the space shuttle, they continued to conduct additional tests on Lin Fan's side.
The first time I tested endurance, the second time I tested speed and distance, and this time I tested weight.
After all, although interstellar escort is a precautionary measure, in the end, one must be prepared to carry the aircraft in space.
So even though the Xingchen has a very strong load-bearing capacity, it is still best to give it a try according to the process.
The satellite now on the launch tower was originally scheduled to be launched this month.
However, due to the sudden success of the space shuttle, the launch plan was temporarily adjusted. This backup satellite made way for the space shuttle and was postponed to next month.
Now that stars need to carry heavy loads into space, this satellite comes in handy.
On the one hand, it acts as a heavy object, and on the other hand, if we go into space as planned, we can save a rocket.
As we all know, rockets are disposable products, and they will be scrapped after propelling spacecraft into space. This is a lot of money!
Country H is not short of money, but in this situation, if it can save money, why not?
So it became the situation we have today.
Staff are still inspecting the space capsule on top.
Although it is to send a satellite into space, it does not mean to carry the satellite directly up there.
Taking into account the intense heat when passing through the ozone layer, a space capsule with a thicker thermal insulation layer was specially added to the outside of the satellite.
Lin Fan squatted under a small tree near the launch tower, using a branch to write and draw on the ground, waiting for the satellite cabin to be inspected.
This time, the master control has more work procedures than the previous two times.
After all, as an individual, there is nothing much to examine about the stars.
However, this time the satellite cabin was disassembled for recycling and reuse.
Xingchen will release the satellite into the predetermined orbit, propel it into autonomous flight, and then assemble the space capsule and bring it back.
It is easier said than done.
So this time, although there is no manned program and no rocket, it is also important to check the airtightness of the space capsule.
After waiting for a long time, tool man Lin Fan finally arrived at the countdown stage for the launch.
She also followed the procedures and stood right under the aviation cabin.
The fixed frame slowly opened, and Lin Fan transformed into a star, slowly rising up, holding the cabin with both hands.
Because of this special mission, technicians specially welded a number of grippable handles for Xingchen in various parts of the cabin.
After the ten-second countdown, Xingchen slowly rose up with the space capsule, which was many times larger than her, held high in her hands.
I don't dare fly too fast because I'm afraid the things above my head will be unstable and I will fall.
I have experience of flying with heavy objects overhead, but how could it be so valuable?
It took Lin Fan a while to get used to it, and only after making sure it was safe did he speed up his flight.
At the request of the main control, it maintained the same ascending speed as the rocket and successfully sent the satellite into the predetermined orbit.
Lin Fan sat on the satellite with its solar wings slowly unfolding, and his sense of accomplishment soared.
Finally got something done!
Although she felt a sense of accomplishment the previous two times and the base felt successful, she felt it was all very empty.
It is progress, but it goes around in circles... Anyway, it is not as practical as sending a satellite up this time.
After confirming that the satellite was operating normally, Lin Fan turned around to look for the space capsule shell that she had just thrown aside.
The space capsule was floating not far from the satellite. Star spread its wings and fastened the buckles in a few seconds, but it didn't want to hold it high above its head anymore.
When she came up, the weights didn't affect her at all. Instead, she felt very tired from holding her hands up all the time.
It's just an empty shell anyway, so there's no need to take it so seriously.
Grab a handle with one hand and easily drag it back.
This space was super shocking when I first came here.
Everything is new and interesting. I feel like a speck of dust in the universe...
To the second circumplanetary flight.
She was happy when she first came up, but maybe because she flew too much later, it was too boring and tedious, and the pitch-black space lost its appeal to her significantly.
Too much is as bad as too little!
Now... when she saw the huge Lanxing in front of her, she thought of world geography...
I couldn't help but shiver all over, feeling like I was being controlled by something strange.
It’s better to go back quickly!
Three battles and three victories, the roar from the base seemed to be about to blow the ceiling of the control room off.
They waited for Lin Fan's car to return and blocked him at the door.
Before Lin Fan could react, he was pulled up and thrown into the sky.
She looked at the sky, the clouds rolling and unrolling, far and near.
My first reaction was: I wonder where that satellite just flew to?
Everyone's joy and excitement soon spread to her. She hadn't felt anything at first, but now she couldn't help but laugh happily...
This time, because he was just delivering goods and didn't use up all his energy, Lin Fan felt very relaxed when he got off.
After waiting for nearly another week, the space shuttle officially made its test flight.
The astronauts only learned the day before that there was a star insurance that would accompany them into space.
My already confident heart now feels even more at ease.
This time, it was finally decided to announce the launch to the public.
Hundreds of millions of people watched the live broadcast in front of their TVs and mobile phones, waiting for this epoch-making moment.
Song Ren, Li Chunhua, and everyone from 623 stopped their work and gathered together to watch the live broadcast.
Wang Fengfeng from the Special Affairs Office is watching.
Xue Ping in the underground cave also stopped his work and took his team members to sit in the tent outside to watch the live broadcast on the computer.
Lin's father and mother were also sitting at home, waiting with their 50-inch TV on.
Red-haired Antonio is sitting on top of a tall tree in the dense rain forest, looking at his mobile phone.
Ao Wei and other G members, sitting in the luxurious office in Country P, were also closely watching the live broadcast.
The eyes of the whole world are focused on this moment.
And outside the camera, where they couldn't see, John Woo was accompanying Lin Fan.
"Don't laugh," Wu Yusen said calmly, noting that Lin Fan seemed to no longer take Feitian seriously. "They'll start a space express delivery service, specializing in sending things into space. You'll have a lot to do."
Department J has Hurricane Express, which will definitely arrive at your destination.
Because of Xingchen's easy and outstanding performance in recent times, the aerospace science department also wants to develop a Xingchen express delivery system to prevent the J department from having only the glory.
"Really?" Lin Fan's face immediately fell. "Then I'll become a delivery girl..."
Is the end of science the takeaway?
Wu Yusen laughed, "Someone did bring it up, but it was rejected. Cui Yan said that the development of science can't be concentrated on you alone."
"Cui Yan?" Lin Fan was stunned.
For some unknown reason, they have always had a bad impression of Cui Yan.
"Yeah." John Woo's opinion of Cui Yan had also changed. "He said that the space program is for emergency relief, not poverty relief. It can be used as an emergency response, as insurance, and as a safety net, but it can't be a babysitter. Space development must be self-sustaining."
Lin Fan listened and nodded slowly. "That makes sense."
No matter how powerful Xingchen is, he is just one person.
The strength of a G family can never be tied to one person.
In the headphones, the launch countdown is ten minutes.
Wu Yusen helped Lin Fan adjust his headgear and goggles, then took two steps back and said with a smile, "Go ahead, be careful. I'll be watching you the whole time!"
"Okay." Lin Fan grinned as she watched John Woo take out his phone to film her.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
As countless people counted down in unison, stars appeared in a corner they could not see.
She playfully raised one hand, gave an informal salute to John Woo, and slowly rose into the air amid a huge roar.
I went up, came down, went up again, and then I vomited...
