This star is going to the moon

Chapter 203: Countries around the world are gearing up again

In 2005, China announced its "Three-Step Lunar Exploration" plan.

That is, it will orbit the moon within a few years, land on the moon within a few years, and use unmanned equipment to collect lunar soil before 2020.

At the same time, countries around the world are also eager to release their own lunar plans.

At that time, all this news was reported in newspapers and compiled into a book.

But now, the Chinese have perfectly completed their "three-step lunar exploration" plan.

And none of the countries in the world that were "ready to go" had completed it.

At that time, China planned to complete a manned lunar landing between 20 and 25, and then establish a lunar base by 25.

But next year will be the 20th year, and there is no sign of a lunar base, let alone a manned lunar landing.

The unmanned exploration equipment planned for the early "lunar exploration" has not yet been developed.

In 2007, an orbital probe was launched, which orbited for two years before crashing into the moon.

After that, there was no more news about the lunar exploration or landing plan.

The Europa Space Agency also has its own lunar plan. They plan to pool Europe's strength and work together to achieve manned lunar landing in 2020 and complete the construction of a lunar base.

Judging from the plan, they are going to be more powerful than their ordinary lives.

In fact, it is reasonable from their point of view. After all, they are the first place to become a developed country and a civilized world. They are definitely better than Asian countries like Xiaozi that have barely squeezed into the civilized world.

It’s a pity that their current status is just a supplier of American aerospace.

So the Americans are even more powerful. Their plan to return to the moon was 15 years, and no later than 20 years.

At the same time, we need to not only build a lunar base, but also a lunar space station!
American: “I want them all!”

As a result, up to now, not to mention the lunar base and lunar space station, even the plan to return to the moon has not been realized.

The first flight of the SLS rocket involved in the return to the moon program has been postponed again and again and has now been pushed back to next year.

And if nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be postponed.

As for any unexpected events...then it will have to be postponed, or even risk being cancelled.

As for the Russians, which inherited most of the old Russians' legacy, it was not to be outdone and claimed that its new lunar spacecraft would make its maiden flight in the summer of 2005!
Guigui, the newspaper that published the collection was in July 2005, which was already summer.

As a result, by August, the end of summer, there was no sign of Russia's new lunar spacecraft.

Even now, not only is there no sign of a new moon rocket, even its own aerospace industry is struggling.

We can only maintain some existing industries. If we want to make any big development... it's difficult.

Of course, such a grand event that has countries around the world gearing up for it is bound to include India, which is determined to become a world power.

They claim that they will achieve manned space flight in 2015 and manned lunar landing in 2020.

The director of the Bharat Space Research Organization has repeatedly stated: "Our dream of landing on the moon is just around the corner and there are no technical obstacles."

Although the actual situation later was... there were many technical obstacles, which led to a lot of delays in the plan.

But before the launch of Chandrayaan-2 some time ago, Lao Xian directly stated: "China's Chang'e-4 landed on the far side of the moon for the first time, and our Chandrayaan-2 will also land on the south pole of the moon for the first time, so we are not inferior to China in the field of space and are on equal footing."

however……

Chandrayaan-95 has a % chance of landing on the moon!

Of course, at this International Astronautical Congress, they said… “That was then, and this is now!”

"China isn't even qualified to participate in this International Astronautical Congress, and we've brought a new space program!"

“This time it’s absolutely authentic!”

Not to mention the Hanqian country, it has already jumped up and not only gave itself the "Wanhu" but also the technology of the "Wanhu" rocket.

As for the question: "Why is it your technology, but Lu Yun developed it first?"

Han Changguo replied sadly: "Lu Yun is too cunning. When he stole the technology, he didn't use 'copy', but 'cut'!"

"He cut away our plans, so we had to rebuild the technology from scratch, and we're only now recovering it!"

Originally the reporters wanted to make a big news, but after they heard the story, they all lived in Bengbu, and only those media outlets that were open to everything could buy it.

Its daily life in this regard is not so extravagant. Its main task is to provide support for the American aerospace industry and participate in the American plan to return to the moon and build a lunar base.

Of course, it also has its own manned lunar landing plan, but it is in cooperation with another American supplier, the European Space Agency, and plans to achieve manned lunar landing in 2030.

This time, Europe is not so honest. Although the official space agency still pretends to be a "good aerospace supplier for the United States", it also strongly supports the development of commercial aerospace in its own country.

They all benefited from Roadun's "big technology integration technology", and the development of reusable rocket technology was very rapid.

Although the United States has banned itself from cooperating with China in space, it has not banned Europe. Therefore, China and Europe not only have extensive cooperation in rockets and satellites, but also the "Chang'e" series of lunar probes have European-provided detection equipment.

The three brothers are the most unrestrained, and they have released a series of new plans.

Although the Chandrayaan-100 probe was not 100% successful, Chandrayaan- will definitely be % successful, and its target is still the South Pole of the Moon!

They must get a first on the moon!
Only in this way can we compare with the older Chinese.

This is their obsession, and they can never let it go.

Then they also announced their manned space program and space station construction plan, and even displayed the model.

"We will achieve manned space flight in 2022, and then build our own space station in 2025!"

The third brother is very confident!

But this time they met their match, the Americans!

At this conference, the Americans confidently reiterated their timetable for returning to the moon in two to four years at the latest.

According to Boeing, the SLS rocket will definitely make its maiden flight next year!
The results of the lunar module bidding competition involving commercial space companies will also be announced next year.

Although this is only the preliminary result, as long as there is clear technology, the progress will be rapid!
By this calculation, the first unmanned flight will be in 2020, followed by a manned lunar circumnavigation in 2021, and a manned lunar landing in 2022.

Even if there are any problems, there is still a two-year redundancy buffer, which is enough!
Make America great again!
There is also good news in the commercial space sector. Boeing claims that its "Starliner" manned spacecraft will make its maiden flight at the end of this year, and if there are no problems, the manned space program will be implemented next year.

Lockheed Martin announced that the "X-33" single-stage orbital space shuttle project has been restarted. They will soon manufacture an advanced single-stage orbital space shuttle, thereby forming a competitive relationship with Lu Yun's "Kite", defending the space domain of the civilized world and making space forever free!
In addition, there is information about other commercial aerospace companies, such as commercial space stations.

Maozi also attended the conference. He also announced many PPTs and expressed that he would cooperate with the United States to build a lunar space station, just like the cooperation on the International Space Station.

It has to be said that the amount of information released by the countries around the world "once again" gearing up for action is huge. Yu Xingchen asked Lu Yun, "How many of these plans do you think can be completed on time?"

Lu Yun curled his lips and said, "Don't even think about completing any of them on time. Just wait and see the show."

Yu Xingchen asked a question similar to Liu Chun's surprise: "Is it true?"
