Chapter 632: Can't Escape My Eyes
At this moment, the speed of the asteroid and the spacecraft exceeded ten kilometers per second.
Compared with this asteroid with a diameter of 1,500 meters, this spacecraft looks very small. Even if it collides with the asteroid, it does not seem to have much impact on the asteroid's operation state.
But in fact, when the asteroid is still a certain distance away from the moon, as long as the asteroid can be deflected by a very small angle, it will completely escape the moon's capture range and pass by the moon.
Of course, making the asteroid's orbit move out of the range of the moon is only the first step. It does not mean that the asteroid will never fly towards the blue planet again.
The radius, mass and gravity of the Blue Planet are much larger than those of the Moon, so the Blue Planet's ability to capture celestial bodies is far stronger than that of the Moon.
In order to completely escape the capture of the blue planet, the asteroid will need to continue to be impacted to change its trajectory.
When the spacecraft was about to hit the asteroid, no one could see the situation on site except the control center of our aerospace institute.
Such a collision is not suitable for live broadcast.
Even so, everyone is still very concerned about whether this impact will be successful. After all, it concerns the safety of all mankind.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the spacecraft finally successfully hit the asteroid and completed the exchange of momentum in an instant.
The whole process is so fast that it is almost completed in a time that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.
Immediately, the motion states of the asteroid and the spacecraft changed.
The spacecraft's state of motion changes very dramatically, because it is like a stone hitting a car and being bounced back immediately.
The change in the motion state of an asteroid is not obvious, and it would be difficult to discern its change without detailed data for measurement.
However, when measured by professional measuring instruments, its state of motion did undergo some changes.
Among these, the most important point is the change in direction of movement.
A deviation of just one degree or so is enough for us to move the asteroid out of the range of the Moon.
"According to our latest measurements, after the impact, the asteroid's direction of motion shifted by about 1.1 degree. The asteroid is expected to escape the capture range of the moon, but has not completely escaped the capture range of the blue planet."
After hearing the news, the entire control center could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They had been through a lot in the past few days, and their bodies and minds had been in a state of tension.
The successful launch of a rocket to the moon for the first time without any test run is something worth celebrating.
However, facing the approaching asteroid, no one is in the mood to celebrate.
Fortunately, all this was not in vain. Not only was the rocket on the moon launched successfully, but the spacecraft also successfully changed the trajectory of the asteroid according to the ideal plan, allowing the asteroid to escape the capture range of the moon.
Although the asteroid will continue to move towards the Blue Planet, dozens of spacecraft on the Blue Planet are already ready in orbit. As long as there are no major errors, they will be enough to prevent the asteroid from flying towards the Blue Planet.
This feeling of relief did not last long. Just a moment later, everyone continued to pay attention to the asteroid's movements while preparing to issue commands to the spacecraft that had already entered space.
In the following period of time, dozens of spacecraft from various countries' space systems will collide with the asteroid one after another, further changing the asteroid's trajectory.
Compared with the spacecraft launched from the moon, these spacecraft launched from the blue planet are much different in both speed and mass.
Even so, as long as 80% of these spacecraft can eventually successfully collide with the asteroid and affect the asteroid's operation state, it will be enough to ensure the safety of the blue planet.
Otherwise, nuclear devices may have to be used as a last resort.
"This is SAM Space Agency. Our spacecraft is ready and will fly towards the asteroid."
At this time, the voice of Johnson, the commander of the SAM spacecraft, came from the headset.
In order to better ensure the smooth progress of subsequent work, the space systems of various countries will carry out impacts on asteroids in a certain order.
Among them, SAM Space Agency will be the first to start using more than a dozen of their spacecraft to collide with asteroids.
Xu You is still relatively confident about SAM Space Agency's aerospace technology.
Moreover, even if Xu You wanted to control the spacecraft of SAM Space Agency, it would not be so easy to do.
This is also the only space system that Nameless cannot hack into, except for our spacecraft.
Just as Xu You expected, SAM Space Agency's performance in the following period was indeed outstanding. Each of their spacecraft accurately impacted the asteroid and changed the asteroid's operating state to a certain extent.
Such performance has given great confidence to the space systems of other countries.
Next, several other space powers will control their spacecraft in turn to impact the asteroid.
What everyone doesn’t know is that at this time, the spacecraft of other countries have already been implanted with a special spacecraft intelligent control system.
Although this spacecraft's intelligent control system has not yet been activated, it has been secretly monitoring the spacecraft.
Once the operating state of the spacecraft deviates from the ideal value, the movement of the spacecraft will be immediately fine-tuned to make the spacecraft move in the most ideal state.
At the same time, the concealment of this system is also very strong, and it is not easy to see abnormalities just from the returned data.
All of this is done to better change the asteroid's operating state and ensure the safety of the blue planet.
At this time, the British spacecraft was very close to the asteroid.
At this time, the spacecraft's intelligent control system also detected that the spacecraft's movement direction had shifted slightly, and immediately repaired the spacecraft.
This tiny detail did not escape the eyes of Robert .
"Just now, the British spacecraft seemed to have suddenly undergone a slight change."
Robert keenly noticed this abnormality, even Great Britain himself did not notice such details.
"Robert, what did you just mean?"
Williams didn't understand what Robert meant and asked quickly.
