Chapter 941 Space Rescue (I)

A space station, also known as a space station, a space station, or an orbital station, is a manned spacecraft that operates in low-Earth orbit for a long time and can accommodate multiple astronauts for visits, work, and life. It is like an ordinary satellite that can continuously navigate in outer space with a lifespan of several years. At the same time, the space station has all the facilities for human life, so people can live in space for a long time without returning to Earth.

In later generations, the record holder, Russian astronaut Sergei Vasilyevich Avdeev, made three space flights. The first time he stayed in space for 189 days, the second time he stayed in space for 178 days, and the third time he stayed in space for 378 days, a total of 746 days in total. This is something that the space shuttle can never achieve.

In fact, the earliest space station can be traced back to 18 Hale wrote an article about "Building a Moon with Bricks" for The Atlantic Monthly. After that, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Hermann Oberth also envisioned a space station. However, due to technical limitations, it was impossible to achieve at the time.

In the 1970s, the Soviet Union lost the space race with the United States to land on the moon, so it turned to the space station. Salyut 1 was successfully launched in 1971, and it was the first space station in human history. Unfortunately, the three astronauts died of suffocation due to a valve failure during their return, causing the cabin to lose pressure.

After that, the Soviet Union launched a series of space stations, from Salyut 1 to Salyut 7.

And now, Salyut 7 continues to fly in space.

On April 19, 1982, Salyut 7 was launched into low-Earth orbit by a Proton rocket. Historically, the space station operated in orbit for a total of 3,214 days, eight years, until 1991, when the Soviet Union no longer existed, when it fell.

And now, Salyut 7, which has just been in operation for a year, is at the peak of its vitality. There are three astronauts on duty at this space station, and they have been flying in space for several months.

"Savitskaya, we have received an order from the ground to adjust our orbit." Commander Kizim said in the space station: "We need to rescue two American astronauts who are stranded in space. This is a difficult political task."

The American astronaut in distress? Upon hearing this, Savitskaya smiled and said, "It turned out to be our American colleague."

Among the three astronauts, Savitskaya is a woman. Space has not stopped women. On the contrary, women's unique advantages allow them to give full play to their advantages in space flight missions.

For example, women are more mentally agile than men. During the docking of spacecraft, Savitskaya performed better than male astronauts. At the same time, in spacewalks, Savitskaya also scored full marks every time in training.

"Savitskaya, you need to operate our space station. Solovyov and I will put on our space suits. We may need to conduct a space walk to retrieve the two colleagues. Moscow's order is to retrieve at least one body, even if it is a corpse!"

Savitskaya still had a charming smile on her face: "But how can we find them? Our radar can't detect astronauts flying in space, right?"

"According to ground analysis, these two astronauts were outside dismantling our Polaris when the Challenger accident occurred. So, they are likely still with the Polaris. As long as we can get close to the Polaris, we will be able to find them."

"I understand." Savitskaya said, "Don't worry, our space station will definitely catch up with the Polaris and get close to it! If the Polaris has another interface, I can still dock with it."

Kizim nodded and said, "It's up to you. Our space station is much more difficult to operate than the Soyuz spacecraft. You must be careful not to crash the Polaris."

It is actually very dangerous for a space station flying at a speed of almost eight thousand meters per second to get close to the Polaris. But now, they can't care about that at all. As soldiers, they need to follow orders!

Sitting in the control position of the space station and opening the operation interface, she will then control the space station with all her strength, perform multiple complex orbit changes, and then approach the orbit of the Polaris.

Of course, she is not alone. The Baikonur Cosmodrome and survey ships in the ocean are all helping her. This is a large-scale systematic project.

It is extremely dark in space, and even on the sunny side, I still can't feel the warmth.

What does it feel like to drift in space for several hours?

Nelson didn't know it before, but he was very proud to be an astronaut. At the same time, he knew it was a very dangerous job, and he was ready to sacrifice at any time.

However, when this moment really came, he felt an instinctive call for survival in his heart: I cannot die, I cannot die!

It was precisely because of this survival instinct that made him lie on the Polaris, tightly using a tool to hook a disassembled part of the Polaris, and he was waiting.

What was he waiting for? He didn't know. He only knew that he had to stay with the Polaris to have a chance of being rescued! The last image of Hoftan still appeared in front of his eyes.

At that time, when the Challenger exploded, the two men hid on the side of the Polaris, but after the explosion, Nelson still heard Hoftan's terrible screams on the radio.

Hoftan still didn't dodge! A piece of debris hit Hoftan, and a hole was instantly torn in his space suit. As the interior was pressurized, air gushed out from the hole. As a result, Hoftan could only wave his hands helplessly, as if he was a person who couldn't swim and fell into the sea. He shouted loudly on the radio: "Save me, Nelson!"

However, Nelson could not move. If he left the Polaris, he would definitely not be discovered by anyone. Nelson even wondered if he just stayed there for days, months, or even years, would he still be discovered? Or could he fall into the atmosphere with the Polaris and complete the cremation process?

Hoftan was gone, falling into endless darkness. At the same time, as the oxygen ran out, the space suit became a vacuum within a minute. All the water and blood in Hoftan's body evaporated, turning him into something like a mummy. Nelson spent the last moments of his life in great fear.

He knew that no one would come to save him. A space flight launch was not that easy. He just lived a few hours longer than others.

Now, he has less than half of his oxygen left.

The Polaris is still flying. At this moment, it has flown to the other side of the earth. The sun is shining here. It seems that there is something in the space that is approaching rapidly?
