Chapter 942 Space Rescue (Part 2)

It is not easy to see something in space. After all, there is no air in space, so there will be no diffuse reflection. Normally, we can see things because they are reflecting sunlight. But now, if we want to see something, the sunlight must be reflected!

But now, the thing flying over happened to have a large solar panel that was reflecting light, allowing Nelson to see it at a glance.

As an astronaut, Nelson is competent. He knows almost all the spacecraft currently flying in space, and he knows that this huge flying behemoth should be the Soviet space station!

Space station! The Soviet space station! When Nelson saw this thing, his instinct for survival made him want to shout to the space, "I'm here, I'm here!"

However, without any air, his shouts could not be heard! At the same time, he also knew that this was his only chance, and he must not lose this opportunity because of his blindness!

If he wanted to be rescued, he had to be on the Polaris. If he left the Polaris, there was no way he would be rescued in space!

It is very difficult for two spacecraft to get close to each other while flying at high speed. And if it were a single astronaut, it would be even more difficult to get close to the spacecraft flying at high speed!

This is like being on a shipwreck in the vast ocean, but still able to float. Sitting on the boat waiting for rescue is definitely much better than floating in the sea waiting for rescue.

But how to alert the other party? Nelson remembered the flashlight on the right side of his helmet, and immediately had an idea. He turned his head in the direction where the space station was flying, pointed the flashlight in that direction, and then pressed the switch.

On－－－－off－－－on－－－－on－－－off－－－, with an interval of 10 seconds, indicating three long sounds. Then, on－off－on－off－on－off－－, with an interval of one second, indicating three short sounds. These three long sounds and three short sounds are the most common international distress signal, SOS!

SOS! Nelson paused and sent a signal to the other side again, hoping that the other party could see his signal.

In fact, Nelson knew that even if he sent a signal to the other party, it might not necessarily lead to their rescue. After all, the space station only had a few very small windows, and there were only three astronauts inside, and they had to take turns on duty. Maybe they would not notice him.

Nelson also knew that there was nothing else to do and he had to do his best!

Just after he sent the signal, he finally saw what he hoped for. The Salyut 7 space station was ejecting air currents into space. It was making a small-scale orbit change. The other party was changing orbit towards his direction!

"Keep getting closer." Inside Salyut 7, Savitskaya was operating on the control panel. Every change of orbit would consume precious energy. In order to save the American astronauts, they really tried their best.

Fortunately, the data from ground measurement and control is quite accurate. Now, we are getting closer and closer to the enemy!

The huge black Polaris looks so majestic in front of Salyut 7!

It can be said that the combination of Salyut 7 and Soyuz is less than half the size of Polaris! From here, Polaris is truly a fortress in space!

However, because the Polaris was black, it was difficult to see, and at this moment, a flash of light was heard outside.

"SOS, SOS! There are people on the Polaris, sending us a distress signal!" At this time, Solovyov, who had already put on his space suit and was ready to enter space in the airlock at any time, suddenly shouted loudly. He saw the distress signal!

"It seems that our efforts were not in vain. The American is still alive." Kizim said on the side: "Now, we need to get closer. It's up to you, Savitskaya."

"I see. I am really turning on the radar. It will probably take a dozen or so adjustments," Savitskaya said.

Originally, in order to carry out docking, the Salyut space station was equipped with a radar. At this time, the radar was scanning the surrounding space and no longer needed the help of the measurement and control system below. Now, it all depends on the proficiency of the operator!

"The closing speed is twenty meters per second. We need to reduce the speed."

"Approach speed five meters per second, adjust the direction now."

"The closing speed is two meters per second, and the direction is correct."

"Yes, we saw the American astronaut, and he was waving at us."

"Approaching speed is 0.2 meters per second. We can't get any closer. It's up to you." Savitskaya said. With the last jet, finally, the relative speed of Salyut 7 and Polar was zero. However, the distance was still fifty meters!

Fifty meters is, of course, a very dangerous distance in high-speed space! Just like the protagonist's final return in The Martian, it was full of thrills and excitement. The biggest problem at the time was the huge difference in relative speed between the two sides, which forced the protagonist to jump across in space!

Now, the relative speed is zero, which has created the greatest condition. A distance of fifty meters is already extremely close. After all, this is a speed of almost eight thousand meters per second! If they are not careful, the two sides will collide, which is definitely the most tragic.

"It seems that the American is a little scared." Kizim said: "He is still signaling us to move closer."

"We are the only ones who got there first," Solovyov said. "I'd better show my style in front of the TV audience."

In front of the TV audience! Yes! This rescue operation in space was being transmitted through the camera lens of Salyut 7 to the communication satellite, to the ground, and then to the TV sets all over the world!

The Soviet Union is carrying out a highly difficult space rescue, and the people they want to rescue are American astronauts!

Of course, it is not a live broadcast. The rescue will not be broadcast until it is over. However, you can imagine how excited and happy people all over the world will be when the footage appears on TV.

The Soviet Union, regardless of past grudges, extended its hands of friendship to the Americans, and bravely rescued the American astronauts who died after the Challenger explosion! The Soviet Union is friendly, the Soviet Union is generous, and the Soviet Union is the most respectable country in the world!

Attaching himself to a specially made rope, Solovyov waved to Kizim.

At this moment, Kizim's expression was also extremely serious.
