Chapter 943 Grabbing the Long Legs

Spacewalk! It is the most dangerous walk in history. On March 18, 1965, Soviet astronaut Alexei Leonov achieved a 12-minute spacewalk outside the cabin during the space flight of the Voskhod 2 spacecraft, becoming the first astronaut in history to achieve spacewalk.

The walk was extremely thrilling and various situations kept occurring. When returning to the cabin, because the designer of the space suit did not take into account the expansion of the space suit in space, Alexei had to risk releasing the oxygen in the space suit before he could return.

Now, although nearly 20 years have passed, spacewalks are still very dangerous, especially the manned maneuvering device outside the cabin, which has not yet appeared. Historically, it was not until 1984 that American astronauts successfully tested it on the Challenger. This is a thruster with high-pressure nitrogen and several nitrogen-spraying thrusters, which are installed in different positions and directions of the "seat". Astronauts use the thrusters in different positions to control the jets in different directions to produce a reaction posture. The manned maneuvering device can carry a certain amount of high-pressure nitrogen, which allows astronauts to reach a place hundreds of meters away from the spacecraft.

At present, whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, this kind of manned maneuvering device is still under development, so the current extravehicular walking is absolutely "naked swimming."

There can only be one steel cable to tie the astronauts into space. If any danger occurs, Kizim needs to pull the steel cable to pull Solovyov back.

After all, today's spacewalks are not about going deep into space, but about walking near a space station. The purpose is to repair the space station, for example, if it is damaged by a meteorite in space, or to assemble it. For example, the Mir space station was assembled through spacewalks. After leaving space, the astronauts just have to crawl along the spacecraft.

But now, we need to leave the spacecraft, fifty meters away!

Solovyov was not afraid. He pushed his feet and, using the impact force when he went out, his body slowly left the Salyut space station and flew towards Polar!

Come to save me! The other party is here to save me! Nelson was extremely excited. Seeing an astronaut flying out from the Salyut and "swimming" towards him, Nelson was extremely excited. He was finally going to be saved!

But at this moment, he felt the Polaris trembling.

What's going on?

The Polaris was only screwed down a circle! But who could have thought that the Polaris would disintegrate at this moment?

Damn it! Nelson knew that he could not hesitate any longer at this moment. He gritted his teeth, exerted force with his legs and arms, and used the reaction force to leave the Polar!

In space, the Polaris split into two!

In fact, it wasn't just because they removed a circle of screws. When the Challenger exploded, the airflow hit the Polaris. The Polaris was in danger of breaking in the middle for a long time, and it continued to fly for such a long time before breaking. It was already amazing!

"Oh no, the Polaris broke into two pieces. To avoid danger, we should leave temporarily!" Savitskaya said after hearing the radar warning.

"No, hold on!" Kizim shouted on the radio.

At this time, Solovyov was leaving the cabin, hanging by a steel cable. If the space station maneuvered at this time, it would pull Solovyov, and he might be seriously injured.

Moreover, the American astronaut had already left the Polaris and was flying over. If he maneuvered and changed his trajectory at this time, the American astronaut would be in vain and would die.

Fifty meters away from their own space station is the farthest distance they can reach. If the American astronaut cannot be caught by their side, there will be no second chance!

persist in!

As the commander, the experienced Kizim knew that although the Polaris was broken into two parts, generally speaking, the two parts were still on the original orbit. After all, it was not the external force that caused the split, but it was broken by itself. The two parts would continue to fly together in most cases.

If his side was really in danger, which would cause the Salute to collide, he would not take such a risk.

Hold on! Solovyov was flying towards the other side. At the same time, the American astronauts on the other side were also flying towards this side. In the deep universe, two small dots were slowly approaching each other!

Oh no! At this moment, Kizim behind him had already noticed that the two were not on the same line! If they flew over like this, they would pass each other!

"Soloviev, fly to the left, fly to the left!" Kizim shouted.

Flying to the left? What a joke! If it was in the sea, it could still flutter a few times, but in outer space, no matter how hard you flutter, it will be useless! Solovyov looked at his hand, there was almost nothing in it, only a metal flag!

Yes, it is a metal sickle and hammer flag! In space, without wind, ordinary flags cannot fly at all. If you want to take pictures of flags in space, you must rely on this metal flag.

Solovyov had originally intended to pose with this flag in front of the camera when he rescued the American astronauts, but now, he had no other choice. Fly to the left? Then he could only throw the thing in his hand to the west!

So, in front of the camera, this metal flag was thrown out. Although it was small, it had a reaction force, which changed Solovyov's flight trajectory!

"No, it's not enough, it's not enough!" At this time, Kizim couldn't care less. Throwing the Soviet flag into space was a serious act. After going down, he might face scrutiny. But now, he had to complete the task first!

Looking at the trajectory, they still can't intersect accurately! Kizim was very nervous and wanted to go out by himself, but he couldn't help much even if he went out by himself!

It's not enough! Solovyov had no other choice but to change his body position. Just now his body was vertical, but now, his body was horizontal!

Solovyov stretched out his legs, which was the longest part of his leg. At the same time, Nelson, who was flying from the opposite side, also responded by changing his body posture to sideways. When the two men passed by each other, Nelson's hand could just reach Solovyov's long legs!

Caught!

Although the scene was a bit ugly and not at all elegant, we finally got in touch with the American astronauts!

Holding Solovyov's legs, Nelson stopped the momentum of the body collision. Then, holding Nelson's space suit, he moved upwards, and the two bodies hugged each other tightly!

Nelson was extremely excited at this moment, he was finally saved!
