Bab 358: Chapter 350 Venus_1

"Old Xiao, hey, the probe is about to be launched. Why are you so listless?"

Shen Zuozhou noticed Xiao Okada's absent-minded appearance and came over with concern to ask.

Shen Zuozhou was a space technology expert from the Fifth Institute and had undergone the first batch of space training. His main field was deep space exploration.

After China's Venus mission was hurriedly put together, he immediately led his team to the base, cramming equipment funded by the space agency into "Tai Bai" and "Morning Star No.1".

He acted quickly because there was no choice; mid-April was the latest time to launch the probe, or else the launch window would be missed.

"Tai Bai" was an orbital satellite probe, operating in Venus' orbit and able to use the Hall Thruster to continuously adjust its orbit for observation; "Morning Star No.1" was an atmospheric probe of Venus that could even bring samples back, though not from the surface.
