Chapter 1270 The Soviets Are Coming
The moon, the planet closest to humans!
In the past, humans launched a vigorous project to explore the moon. That was a product of a specific period of the Cold War. Afterwards, the activities of exploring the moon disappeared, leaving only many mysteries.
Now, the Soviets, will continue to develop the moon!
It is a tense moment at the Dhahran Space Launch Center. Outside, a huge Energia rocket stands there!

The launch hall was crowded with people, and several foreign astronauts were blaming themselves at this moment.
If their physical test results had not been good enough at the last minute, they would have had the opportunity to become the first astronauts to land on the moon and step onto the moon together with Soviet astronauts!

What a pity, let’s wait for the next chance!
French astronaut Thomas sat on a chair, silently watching the screen in front of him. At this moment, the rocket launch had entered the countdown! He was extremely envious.
When the sound of ignition rang out, the white smoke produced by the blazing flames covered the entire big screen, and the Energia rocket flew towards the sky!

The lunar spacecraft was successfully launched!
Relying on its powerful thrust, there is no need for complicated maneuvers and orbit changes. The Energia rocket can directly bring the lunar spacecraft into the lunar orbit!

When the second-stage rocket ignited and fell off, the lunar module finally unfolded in space.
Compared with the American Apollo moon landing, the structure of the Soviet lunar module was very different.

The United States' Apollo was just a vehicle that traveled between the Earth and the Moon's orbit. At the top of Apollo, there was a docked lunar module. The Apollo spacecraft could not land directly on the Moon, and the lunar module was needed to go up. During this period, the Apollo spacecraft was flying in the Moon's orbit, and then the lunar module took off to the Moon's orbit and docked with the Apollo spacecraft.
Now, the Soviet Union has mastered the key technology of nuclear-powered engines and greatly simplified the structure of the lunar spacecraft. There is no need to do so much. This spacecraft is integrated and can land directly on the moon, and then take off directly from the moon and fly to the Earth's orbit. It will not continue to descend into the atmosphere, but will stay on the Mir space station. In the future, the next batch of personnel can go to the moon directly from the Mir.
In this way, the entire payload of the lunar module can be effectively utilized, so this lunar module with a total weight of 50 tons can accommodate 5 astronauts!
At the same time, they will also be the first permanent personnel to enter the lunar base!

Just two days before the launch of the Energia at the Dhahran base, at the Baikonur launch base, an Energia rocket, carrying the initial forward base, had already taken off in advance and landed accurately at the Jinghai base identified by Andre. Now, it was just waiting for them to pass through!
These five astronauts are the early pioneers. They will build a base on the moon that can accommodate 50 people and create the prototype of a long-term manned base!
At the same time, there is a woman among these five astronauts!
Svetlana Savitskaya was a famous Soviet athlete and astronaut, the creator of the speed flight record and the holder of the highest flight record. She was also the world's second female astronaut and the world's first female spacewalker, a two-time Soviet hero. It can be said that Svetlana's record is unprecedented and unmatched.

She has loved flying since she was a child. Before becoming an astronaut, she was a test pilot of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. The sky could no longer satisfy her, and she longed to go to space. So in 1980, she was selected to join the Soviet astronaut team. She has been into space twice, in 1982 on the Soyuz TM-7 and in 1984 on the Soyuz TM-12.
At the same time, during her second flight, she also performed the most dangerous spacewalk, setting a new record!
In later history, after these two flights, she did not continue to advance into space. She got married a year later and continued to work in politics until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
And now, Svetlana, who loves the space industry, is still continuing to conquer space. Moreover, this time she is going one step further. She is about to conquer the moon with four companions!

If women want to conquer space, they need to pay more than men. At the same time, women are meticulous and have more advantages in many cases. For example, Svetlana’s mission is to be the pilot of the lunar module!
In other words, if an accident occurs during the flight of the spacecraft and manual control is required, Svetlana will need to operate the aircraft personally and eventually land it on the moon!
Of course, this possibility is very small. The Soviet electronic technology is already quite advanced, enough to allow this spacecraft to achieve automatic driving!

After flying away from the earth, the long-lost feeling of weightlessness came back. The commander of this flight, Onuflenko, an outstanding Soviet astronaut with several space experiences, looked through the porthole at the planet in the distance that was getting closer and closer.
"Moon, here we come!" Everyone made this call in their hearts.
It seemed like there was something there, waiting for them to arrive!

At this moment, Onuflenko was extremely looking forward to it in his heart.
Except for one novice, the other four were veterans. They moved around in space for a while, and after the spacecraft passed the Lagrange point, it began to accelerate towards the moon!
"Prepare to start the rocket brake," Onuflenko shouted. If they continued to fly, they would pass by the moon and fly into the farther space. They had to slow down to be captured by the moon's gravity!

Slow down! Under the thrust of several small engines, the attitude of the lunar spacecraft was adjusted, and the tail nozzle of the nuclear-powered engine, according to the preset instructions, sprayed out milky white hydrogen steam.
The spacecraft began to slow down and slow down, and soon it was captured by the moon's gravity and became a spacecraft flying around the moon!

"Svetlana, it's your turn now," said Onuflenko.
"Understood." Sitting in her seat, Svetlana was fully focused. Prepare for the moon landing. If the system fails, be ready to drive manually at any time!

After more than ten years of silence, the moon finally welcomed a group of visitors again!
The lunar spacecraft weighs dozens of tons and is more than thirty meters long. At this moment, the main engine at the bottom and the attitude adjustment engine on the side are being carefully adjusted according to the requirements of the landing procedure!
