v2 Chapter 32: Elvis poster with spacesuit training (2/2)
After the torture on the first day, the players have made some psychological preparations for this compact schedule. However, they did not respond much, of course, it may be because they have not woke up or are numb, and only high school students listen. When I was in the spacesuit training, a look of expectation appeared on my face.
The space suit used in the Apollo mission is an upgraded A7L space suit based on the Gemini spacecraft. Later versions of the Apollo-Soyuz mission and the Sky Lab mission have improved versions.
Astronauts can often be seen putting on and taking off spacesuits in science fiction movies, but in reality this is simply impossible in reality.
Take A7L as an example. This spacesuit weighs nearly 70 pounds and contains five main layered liquid cooling suits that are close to the skin. This is the inner part worn by Zhang Heng, followed by a layer of nylon to ensure For comfort, a pressure airbag is placed on the nylon to facilitate the movement of the joints. There is another layer of nylon outside the airbag to fix the airbag. Finally, there is an outermost layer of mask, which is worn outside the pressure suit for insulation Heat and protection are provided, while helmets and gloves are connected to the pressure suit by closed metal rings.
And that's not all, Zhang Heng also needs to carry a portable life support system ~~ to provide oxygen for breathing after leaving the cabin, as well as cooling function. High-frequency antenna, supports two-way voice communication.
This is why astronauts need good physical strength. Most ordinary people ca n’t move this stuff on board. Of course, it will be much better after entering space. This space suit NASA has prepared three for everyone. One set for tasks, one set for training, and one set for backup.
Zhang Heng brought the famous ”fish tank” helmet with the help of the trainer. The world suddenly seemed to be isolated on the other end, but the helmet was not completely quiet. He could hear the comfortable buzzing sound, and The sound of the fan turning comes from the life support system.
The trainer helps Zhang Heng learn how to use the urine bag, and reads the life support system control unit on the chest, where you can monitor and adjust the liquid and power in the portable life support system.
This is a very fresh experience for the seven people present. Although the hard work is still, compared to the boring pure theoretical learning and high-intensity physical training, spacesuit training can undoubtedly bring a little fun.
In fact, if it is not because of the cruel pressure of survival, for 99.9999 ...% of people in the world, becoming astronauts and boarding the moon on the Apollo 11 is an unprecedented and extraordinary experience. You must know that in 2001 At that time, in order to become a space tourist, a rich man in the United States paid a total of 20 million US dollars for a seat on the Soyuz, in exchange for 8 days of sightseeing on the International Space Station.
However, Zhen Huan noticed that Zhang Heng always intentionally or unintentionally fell on the clock not far away during the training. He seemed to be waiting for something.
