To it the most treasured dream of small crew "Diskaveri" also was reduced - that forthcoming weeks in months nothing has saddened peace monotony of their life.Chapter 18
Through a belt of asteroids
Strictly speaking, that area of space in which "Diskaveri" has now intruded, was not free at all from obstacles. Before it the zone which has been cut up by lines more of one million of asteroids was stretched unknown to the person. Exact orbits have been calculated by astronomers approximately for ten thousand. However, the sizes of asteroids are insignificant: only four have diameter more than hundred fifty kilometres, the others represent only the huge boulders aimlessly born in emptiness. Any measures of protection against them did not exist: the smallest asteroid at collision for the speed over hundred thousand kilometres per hour could carry "Diskaveri" on pieces. However the probability of such collision was is insignificant Is small. On the average on the volume of space representing a cube with the party, equal to one and a half millions kilometres, it is necessary only one asteroid! Crew least disturbed that "Diskaveri" can appear in one point of space with any asteroid, besides during the same instant. For the eighty sixth day of flight they should pass a point of the greatest rapprochement with one of known asteroids (other meetings it was not expected at all). This asteroid of the name had no and was at number 7794; it was the fragment of a rock about forty five metres in a diameter, found out in 1997 the Lunar observatory and immediately forgotten by everything, a cream of patient blocks of memory of Office of minor planets. When Boumen has gone on watch, it has there and then reminded it of a forthcoming meeting though it was difficult to expect that the commander of the ship will forget about unique event which is provided by the schedule throughout all flight. The line of an asteroid adhered to stars, and its co-ordinates at the moment of the greatest rapprochement were already shone on panel screens. There there was also a list of supervision which should be conducted; At astronauts will be affairs on a throat during those instants when by them, all in one and a half thousand kilometres, will fly 7794 on relative speed of hundred thirty thousand kilometres per hour.
