Every spaceflight was an adventure, and every test of a new spacecraft was a gamble.
Before a spacecraft truly took to the skies, no one knew how it would end.
The two pairs of fixed wings with adjustable angles gave the Rosy Glow more flexible thrust directions, but at the same time, they also added greater risks to its wing components.
Even though the servo motor control system that drove the wings was designed with Xiao Ai's help, Lu Zhou could not guarantee that the Rosy Glow's test flight would be free of accidents.
All he could do was make every effort to reduce that possibility to the absolute minimum...
The latter half of the meeting focused mainly on the timetable for the Rosy Glow's test flight and the launch plan for the Moon Palace spacecraft's node module next month.
According to the opinions of both the Aerospace Science Group and the Aerospace Group, the next launch was scheduled for a month later. Once the node module and core module were assembled, the Moon Palace spacecraft floating in Lunar Orbit would have much greater room for expansion and would also be able to dock with crewed spacecraft such as the Auspicious.
That way, although it would look rather tiny, it could at least barely count as a true "port"!
Meanwhile, as the Rosy Glow's test flight and the next launch plan were put on the schedule, the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had not been idle either.
With the Life-Support Unit successfully activated remotely through a ground base station, training for the three volunteers had long since been completed. The Americans seemed to have no reason to wait any longer.
After receiving approval from Congress, NASA soon announced with great fanfare that it was advancing
