In 1969, NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong and Baz Aldrin became the first human beings to set foot on another celestial body, creating history and defeating the former Soviet Union in a space race.
However, during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union in the white space competition, once the Soviet people once seized the opportunity, it seems always with a series of "first" link. The first successful launch of the artificial earth satellite, the first shot to the back of the moon photos, the first manned space flight, the first space walk, the first female astronauts and so on. The Soviet people in the field of space by leaps and bounds, once let the Americans feel the first time in the back of the feeling, but beyond the people's expectations, the first in the moon on the "human small step", but the United States people.
When the history of this time to learn, small soldiers also wondering, the Americans in full swing to implement the "Apollo plan" when the world's number one known as the power of the Soviet Union, do not nap it? For a long time, this is a mystery. But in the recent mystery finally solved, as early as the early 60s of last century, the Soviet Union has been quietly in the manned moon to prepare.
In the case of
In fact, after Gagarin completed the first human travel in human history, the Soviet Union focused on the moon, and strive to create the next "first" - that is the first to achieve manned moon! To this end, the Soviet scientists made a full preparation, not only launched around the moon flying satellite, also developed a large number of landing tools, from unmanned lunar detectors to unrivaled lunar vehicles, from the lunar module to aerospace Members on the moon service, you can say everything. Especially the lunar module, not only to meet all the design needs, but also successfully completed, including the return of the earth, including all the project testing.
It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union developed unmanned lunar landing cars were also in 1970 and 1973, twice successfully boarded the moon. Compared with the United States, "Apollo" lunar rover, the Soviet unmanned lunar rover volume is only half of the former, the weight of only one-third of the former, and can automatically take pictures of the moon and analyze the rock, soil samples, Unlike the United States "Apollo plan" as to rely on the moon astronaut personally completed.
Is the so-called everything with, only owes the wind! The Soviet people only need to develop a heavy rocket, the smooth delivery of spacecraft even if you're done. As the American Apollo program has genius rocket expert von Braun, the Soviet Union's N1 heavy rocket project, fell on the shoulders of the same great space pioneer Korolev,
However, let Lorov unexpected is that they have never been able to create, as the United States, "Apollo Plan" "Saturn" 5, as powerful and stable performance of heavy-duty launch vehicle. The reason is that at the time of the Soviet Union's industrial level, actually unable to build a large thrust engine with the rocket match! This embarrassing situation forced Korolev to have to N1 rocket loaded up to 30 sets of rocket engines, the only way to get with Saturn 5 considerable carrying capacity.
In the case of
A rocket using so many engines is undoubtedly a fatal flaw: on the one hand, the engine group between the many engines can not do the effective balance of the boost; on the other hand, for these engines were added fuel is Headache things, but also prone to accidents. The result is that this is carrying the Soviet Union too much expectation of the "Big Mac", in the Baikonur space launch site test only a total of 4 times, the results of each tragedy ended.
In 1976, the huge cost of N1 rocket project was forced to dismount, and with the Americans and then a group of astronauts sent to the moon, the Soviet Union want the opportunity is completely gone. The Soviet-American moon program, once smug, had to turn into a bubble. Giant rocket frowned abdomen is also considered, the most pity is that those who have completed the development of lunar matching technology and equipment, had to Ukraine in the South Bureau of Design of the plant is a place for forty years.
In the case of
But good things are good things, no matter how long it still can not cover up its value. Following the flight of the mother, the late bear's moon dream I am afraid we have to "pack away." Recently received the news. Ukraine will sell its lunar module and related technology to China.
I drop an obediently, this is the lunar module ah! Saying that two hair can really dare to sell, my rabbit really dare to buy! In their hands useless things, to our hands that is the price of the baby, and do not say there are too many key technologies worth learning from, even if the repeated study of the experiment to save time and capital costs, it is also considerable of.
As everyone knows, has long been the home of two Mao home to find us, Shashi Hou done the loss of the sale? This business, do value!
