The Pioneer spacecraft is launched directly from the ground, so the spacecraft is attached to the launcher in an upright position.
It enters the inner cabin of the spacecraft and reaches the bridge position.
That is, the cockpit needs to rely on a special gangway to climb up, and then sit on it.
The chair is fixed at 90 degrees.
As the captain, Su Yichen's seat is in the middle, and on the right is the assistant's seat, held by astronaut Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong has worked on the International Space Station and Tiangong-1 and is an experienced veteran astronaut.
On Su Yichen's left hand side is the backup astronaut Molivan.
Being a backup astronaut does not mean that Molivan is not capable enough.
It is mainly because Molivan's stay in space is slightly shorter than the previous candidates, so he was dismissed as a spare astronaut.
As a backup candidate, who would have thought that something like this would happen temporarily?
Molivan, who thought he had no chance, made preparations in the shortest possible time after receiving the emergency order.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Gu Chen, the astronaut in charge of medical care on the Pioneer, otherwise the launch of the Pioneer would have been delayed.
Gu Chen's importance in the Pioneer is second only to Su Yichen and Lin Guodong.
He mainly plays the role of the Pioneer's doctor, and is also responsible for some research and experiments on organisms, animals and plants in space.
Gu Chen and Gao Jian were at the back, and their job during takeoff was basically just to wait.
Opening the console, Su Yichen first connected to the communication center of the base and made final preparations.
"Pioneer, please pay attention, prepare for the last 30 minutes before takeoff."
"Pioneer received it, ready to take off in the last 30 minutes."
Su Yichen replied and switched the communication at the same time.
His assistant Lin Guodong temporarily maintained communication with the base center, and he contacted the intelligent core of the spacecraft, which was Su Li.
"Su Li, report the overall situation of the spacecraft."
"The self-inspection of the spacecraft is intact.
The controllable thermonuclear fusion engine is normal, and the auxiliary power rocket is ready for normal takeoff.
Everything is ready."
Due to Su Yichen's request, Su Li did not show her humanity as usual, but reported step by step.
"Monitor at all times to ensure there are no errors."
"clear."
Su Li answered simply and concisely, and Su Yichen finally confirmed the status of Luo Yan's hibernation device.
Luo Yan's hibernation device is placed in a special cabin of the Pioneer.
Although it is very safe and reliable, after all, uncertain factors may occur at any time during launch, and he must be absolutely sure.
Thirty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the personnel at the base center were fully prepared.
Everyone was staring at the big screen, watching the Pioneer spacecraft about to be launched on the screen. "29282726."
The emotionless electronic countdown reminded everyone that the final launch was imminent.
When the final number returned to zero, the auxiliary power rocket ignition began.
The Long March 7A carrier rocket bundled with the Pioneer spacecraft began to ignite, and the launcher was ready for separation.
The ground shook slightly, and a large cloud of smoke was ejected from the bottom of the Long March 7A carrier rocket.
In just a few tenths of a second, the smoke covered the area nearly 100 meters around the launcher, followed by a bright flame at the rear of the rocket.
Starting, the flame became brighter and brighter, and the entire Pioneer spacecraft began to rise into the sky.
The flame at the tail of the rocket stretched longer and longer in the night sky.
The smoke and dust below rolled up like clouds swept by a storm, and in a blink of an eye, the Pioneer made a striking mark in the night background and rushed into the sky.
Mr.
Tian's eyes were closely watching the Pioneer take off.
Whether it is a rocket launch or other spacecraft launch, including the current Pioneer, its most dangerous moment is now.
That year, the American Space Shuttle Challenger failed to take off, leading to a tragic crash that occurred just ten seconds after ignition and launch.
When witnessing the Pioneer ignite and take off.

Mr.
Tian's heart skipped a beat.
He couldn't help but clasped his hands and watched the Pioneer flying into the sky with scorching tail flames on the big screen as it began to change its intended direction.
He even held his breath.
"Turn to normal" "Auxiliary power rocket feedback is normal" "Acceleration is normal" "The first stage engine of the power rocket is preparing to shut down and separate."
"Shutdown separation completed, second node ignition is normal" "Altitude control is normal."
The entire control center.
The staff continued to report on the situation of the Pioneer after liftoff.
When it reached a certain altitude, which was about 100 seconds after the Pioneer was launched and took off, and about 70 kilometers above the ground, you could still see clearly when looking up at the sky with the naked eye.
The sight has turned into a small The bright spot is the first-stage engine at the rear of the Pioneer auxiliary power rocket, which was shut down and separated.
At the same time, the second-stage rocket began to ignite.
One of the two eye-catching small spots gradually dimmed and fell, while the other became brighter and brighter, carrying the Pioneer universe with it.
The spacecraft continued to fly toward space at extremely high acceleration.
"The shutdown and separation are normal when preparing to shut down in the second quarter, and the ignition is normal in the third quarter."
When the second section separated, the naked eye could no longer see the Pioneer in the dark night, but the Pioneer's operating status could still be seen on the big screen in the center of the base.
As an auxiliary power rocket, it does not mean that the more nodes it has, the better.
Most people always feel that the more nodes it has, the greater the rocket's propulsion capacity and it can also run for a longer time.
This view is actually wrong, because don’t forget that every time a rocket section is shut down and separated, it must face the problem of re-igniting the next section.
Once the number of rocket sections is increased, various uncertain factors and factors in flight will increase.
Possible failures, and these problems increase geometrically in terms of probability.
The Long March 7-A launch vehicle used by the Pioneer is currently China's most advanced and most reliable rocket.
Considering the size of the Pioneer's hull and the required acceleration requirements, the Long March 7-A launch vehicle has only three sections in total.
The three-stage rocket will propel the Pioneer to low-Earth space orbit.
When it reaches a certain altitude, the last stage of the rocket will automatically shut down and separate.
Then the Pioneer will start its own controllable thermonuclear fusion engine and continue to accelerate its flight away from the Earth's gravity. toward space.
"It has arrived at the predetermined orbit, and is preparing to shut down and separate in the third quarter.
The separation is normal.
The Pioneer engine is starting.
The engine is starting normally.
The engine is starting normally.
The Pioneer has broken through the low-Earth orbit.
It has broken through the low-Earth orbit and is accelerating.
Everything is normal.
Acceleration is normal."
When the last section of the rocket was shut down and separated, the Pioneer's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine started to start.
After everything showed that it was normal, a cheer came from the center of the base, which meant that the Pioneer was completely launched successfully.
Ten seconds after the Pioneer's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine started, the exterior of the Pioneer, which was flying out of Earth's low-Earth space orbit, began to rotate.
At the same time, the base also received an echo from the Pioneer. s: The first update is here today.
