North American Arizona astronomic station.
After 2020 the big astronomic station that completes, this scientific research facility has the North American sensitivity highest radio telescope array, its precision even can trace the diameter, only then half meter meteorite fragment and space trash- wants it situated in the earth-moon system.
Is latest as North America and is also the most advanced astronomical observation center, this Arizona astronomic station name belongs to the civil public scientific research facility of American Astronomical Society, however in fact its funds actually from defense budget in Pentagon, and has jurisdiction by the outer space headquarters directly.
Since received the funds from military, the when duty of this astronomic station, naturally also impossible like it newly was established initially, to the outside declares was pure.
According to a house document of Pentagon demonstrated that this astronomic station only then 30% observation missions, are seeks for beside the Solar System occupy the star suitably.
As for the remaining 70% observation missions, then mostly centralized in earth-moon transfer orbit, and on Moon encirclement track, its goal was not no need to say much, obviously in monitored solar-system operation of China for the Pentagon in earth-moon system.
Stands waits for the coffee to hit peacefully by the coffeemaker, Professor Reston some headaches rubs the forehead that turned sour, was relaxed to the overheated brain by oneself diligently anxiously.
Probably one week ago, China according to facing the international community public timetable, launched the first batch manned to ascend the fire plan the module.
Also after that day, the observation group that he and he leads has not taken a day of false, almost 24 hours of standby on the job, one hour does not dare to be lax.
After all, no one can guarantee that China will certainly illuminate them to the international community public launch plan timetable, arranges each primary emission plan.
Such matter has the precedent.
Even they are innumerable have done.
The head as this astronomic station, and is employed the researchers in Pentagon, duty that he receives only then, that is observes and traces China ascend the fire plan each detail, many collects the information from their launch as far as possible.
This duty is American Secretary of Defense in the workshop, the confession gives him personally.
Also therefore, from receiving that moment of duty, he then felt unequalled pressure of that pressure on shoulder.
However what fortunately is, these days was soon lives through by him finally.
Recent the launching mission, is China ascends the third launch in fire plan. But according to launch plan that they announced that was only left over if as expected for the last time.
When finished for the last time, their work can also come to the end for the time being.
„Multi-colored sunlight number has succeeded the injection synchronous orbit.”
„The third raid module from cargo hold release......”
„Recycles successfully, the magpie bridge number is accelerating to change the track.”
„Track switches over successfully, the magpie bridge number has succeeded the injection earth-moon transfer orbit!”
One after another report sound transmits.
Stands is controlling indoor Professor Reston, is listening unemotionally.
Although does not have one to call it the news to them, but why does not know, in his heart had a mood of light extrication unexpectedly.
All these must finish finally......
When he, just like this is thinking, his assistant walked from the control.
„Professor Reston.”
Turned around to look to own assistant, Professor Reston inquired said.
„What matter?”
„Professor Phil Goethe submitted the visit application to nasa, he will visit our astronomic station in the day after tomorrow.”
Hears this strange name, Professor Reston frowns.
„Professor Phil Goethe?”
Read out confusion in oneself boss eyes, that assistant opens the mouth immediately a introduced.
„He is the professor of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the nasa special invited engineer, and head of gate of plan deep space. He was declaring some time ago in a special media interview in high-profile manner, this ascending fire plan that launches with the Pacific opposite shore is doomed to be defeated, they simply to not land sparks/Mars prepare any sufficient......”
At this point stopped the moment, his assistant somewhat reluctantly peak under shoulder.
„Perhaps is saw until now the plan of China person is conducted is so smooth, he possibly a little could not sit still.”
How couldn't sit can still?
Hears these words, in the heart of Professor Reston had a funny feeling.
Although in this smiling face, is in the majority by the helpless ingredient.
Pulled corners of the mouth unemotionally, his tone said neither cold nor hot.
„If he is interested, was casual he to come.”
„Although I do not think that this has what significance.”
Then, he coffee cup that emptied has then put the hand on control bench nearby table, then bypassed own assistant, left toward outside of control room......
......
The magpie bridge number successfully takes over the third batch manned to ascend the fire plans the module third day, Professor Phil Goethe arrived in the astronomic station in Arizona as promised.
This 60-year-old senior professor had just stepped into this astronomic station, sees Professor Reston who the front surface walks, even greeted has not hit with enough time, then asked beyond the shadow.
„Situation how?”
„Which step have their launch plans been conducted?”
„What has unusual place?”
„In my opinion entire ascended the fire plan to fill the unusual place from beginning to end, which did you refer to?” Faces issue that this machine-gun same is throwing, Professor Reston shrugs the arm, „which step as for their plans conducted, I thought that should reach the final stage of preparatory work.”
The expression looks at front this young researchers stiffly, Professor Phil Goethe the tone said slightly obviously difficultly.
„...... Final stage?”
„Is this.” Professor Reston selected, „before a half hour, these China people have succeeded the last batch of modules to transport to the Moon Palace number probably, like them in ascending fire planned time table public. We think, they possibly through interim adjustment firing time, will dodge us to their detection. But looking back now, they have not as if cared to their spying on us probably completely, not only has not made any change to the launch plan, even......”
Professor Phil Goethe: „Even?”
On the face of Professor Reston appeared to be full of the bitter and astringent and helpless smiling face.
„......, even, looking like placed there looks to be the same intentionally to us.”
Professor Phil Goethe fell into silent, does not know that should say what good.
A half month ago, he also once optimistic believing, China at this time announced that the start ascends the fire plan, the big probability provokes to nasa, and provokes the new round aerospace competition to achieve some secretive political z goal. If they really according to so „hasty” the timetable start ascends the fire plan, this not mature plan will be doomed to become a tragedy of failure.
But looking back now, all these purely are oneself conjecture.
Let alone was defeated, they even covering up the intention without, probably from the start , there would be no to pay attention to these nominal opponents.
Looks at this maintaining total silence senior professor, Professor Reston silent a while, suddenly opens the mouth to continue to say.
„We let us not stand in the entrance spoke, since came to come, came to have a look.”
„If I have not guessed that wrong, they are thinking the means to put together an entire colonizing ship these components probably, then shoots at sparks/Mars it and astronaut together.”
The latter half a word words, he said with the joking tone, although was far from anything to comfort, but surroundings dignified atmosphere many because his joke relaxed some.
On the lunar orbit actually assembles over a hundred tons spacecraft difficultly, did not need him to say anything, the matter that this was any had to understand the people who is clear about to the aerospace slightly.
Assembles a spaceship in the Moon Palace number general three components, this sounds like with ak47 to target strafe several hundred meters away, all bullet heads and tails sneak in the same target eye to be the same connected.
Without the independent power system, and according to the CCD camera and dynamic vision measurement system on spaceship constantly adjusts its track, even the slightest misstep these components will then hit one group, turns into the fatal space trash.
In comparison, he favors believing, China design ascends the hot spaceship in fact is slightly is smaller than the multi-colored sunlight number spacecraft, has delivered to the Moon Palace number to conduct the refueling when the primary emission plan.
The following two launching mission maintains livelihood the installment to deliver to the Moon Palace number space station some simple grounds, is prepared to carry by other spacecraft, divides the raid launch to go to the Mars orbit deployment.
However when he is so thinking, directs on indoor radar screen, three floats in the Moon Palace number surrounding white spot, actually under the hauling of some strength, gradually close to one.
Just led Professor Phil Goethe to enter the control room, noticed on the radar screen non- ordinary case Professor Reston to wrinkle the brow.
From the beginning he also thinks that was the radio telescope array had the problem.
However is quick he then to realize, this is impossible, the engineer who this morning is responsible for the eqipment maintenance conducted the maintenance to the radio telescope array of astronomic station.
Stands in his nearby Professor Phil Goethe also noticed the unusuality on radar obviously, muttered talked over one low voice.
„...... Are they up to mischief?”
„Does not know that......” realized gradually the gravity of issue, Professor Reston looks immediately to own assistant, opens the mouth to ask, „can the use jurisdiction of Shanghai universe-2 optical observation satellite?”
the universe-2 optical observation satellite is nasa entrusts the space-x group after the universe observation satellite that 2022 will launch, will mainly photograph through high resolution the planet of lens to Solar System.
Naturally, so far, this satellite is like the Arizona astronomic station, 70% observation missions centralized on Moon.
Accurate, 70% duties centralized in these activities on the China astronaut on Moon.
„Should not have the issue...... I to ask.”
Abandoned these words, the assistant slightly ran fast outside the control room.
Had not waited for very long time by own boss, he ran from outside quickly.
„That side nasa authorized our application!”
Heard these words, Professor Reston orders to say immediately without hesitation, „connects the universe-2 optical observation satellite! Focus Moon Palace number!”
In the upper air several hundred kilometers away, a satellite trimming of cylindrical the angle of orbital and direction, locked the lens in the Moon Palace number.
When the lens aim at the Moon Palace number and complete the focusing the flash, controlled indoor everyone being shocked by the present picture.
Returns really in the assembly astronautical craft?!
wtf?!
