Chapter 637 (1/2)
With Peng Ming flying this space plane, that is, Phoenix I space plane. A safe landing site is the scheduled landing site before and reported to the spacecraft Dijiang in orbit.
Everyone on the spacecraft, including the captain of the spacecraft, took a big sigh of relief and confirmed that their mood had been relaxed a lot when they successfully entered the Martian atmosphere and successfully reduced their speed to less than 200 meters per second. However, since the aircraft has not landed successfully, there are risks, Now that the space plane has finally succeeded in landing safely on the surface of Mars, they can naturally breathe a sigh of relief.
So didijiang immediately reported this news to the earth command center. He was very clear that the plane had not landed safely on the surface of Mars. Not only the people in their spacecraft could not be calm, but even Wang Bin of the command center and other senior officials were also anxiously waiting for the news here.
After all, the earth command center is different from the people on their spacecraft. At this time, the earth command center is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Mars, but their spacecraft is in the orbit of Mars, and it is still in the low earth orbit of Mars. The ground probe can be used to observe the situation of the space plane entering the atmosphere anytime and anywhere.
The earth command center is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Mars. Even if the radio wave propagates at the speed close to the speed of light, it will take nearly 10 minutes to arrive, and it will take more than half an hour to wait until the information feedback on the other side of the earth.
Therefore, after Peng Ming's space plane successfully landed on the surface of Mars, Captain Qiu did not directly order the people in the space plane on the surface of Mars to go out of the cabin to investigate the surface of Mars.
As the person in charge of the Mars expedition and the captain of the spacecraft, he has the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety of the personnel on board.
In addition, because this is a human civilization landing on other planets in the solar system except the earth, their every move and subsequent plans must also be reported to the earth command center. They can carry out subsequent tasks only after they are approved by the earth command center.
Of course, if the situation is urgent, as the person in charge of this spacecraft and the person in charge of this investigation, he also has the right to take urgent action. After all, he will have a different life outside. That's the reason.
After all, in case of an emergency, if we have to wait for the reply from the other side of the earth, we may miss the opportunity and lead to serious consequences.
After captain Qiu waited anxiously for nearly half an hour, the command center finally got a reply, and the content of the reply was to let him make his own decision after discussing with the professionals in the spacecraft.
Then captain Qiu immediately convened relevant professionals on the spacecraft for a short discussion, and finally decided to let the internal members of the aerospace plane on the ground not leave the warehouse first.
At this time, although the sky at their landing point has brightened and the sun in the sky can be clearly seen, however, because the sun has just come out and the landing point is near the south pole of Mars, the external temperature of the space plane is very low, reaching minus 135 degrees.
Of course, the covered exoskeleton armored spacesuits worn by the personnel inside the spaceplane, even if the temperature outside is lower, reaching minus 200 degrees, are also within the bearing range of these covered exoskeleton armored spacesuits.
