Космические путешествия
Глава 2. Робот-спутник.
Пока ребята ждали знакомого кота у входа Ярослава рассказала, что это очень интересный музей. Там было много красивых экспонатов связанных с научными открытиями. Ярослав в ответ сказал, что с удовольствием бы сходил на экскурсию. Вдруг из окошка в жилом здании напротив появился кот-проводник. Ребята подошли к окну и кот передал им пропуск. И друзья отправились к аэродрому. На входе в аэродром гостей проводили к ракете. Ребята заняли оба свободных места в ракете и, не успев ничего сообразить, оказались в открытом космосе. Ярослава в полёте была очень спокойна, и даже была рада звёздам и кометам мимо, которых пролетала ракета. По дороге девочка стала распрашивать про ракету и рядового Дворнягу. Ярослав рассказал про свои старые путешествия новой спутнице. Когда ракета прибыла на место в окне иллюминатора, они увидели красивую планету и рядом обледеневшего робота. Стало понятно, что поломка стала причиной сбоя в его работе. Ракета пристыковалась к роботу, и вся команда отправилась к лунной станции. На подлёте ракеты к луне робота отсоединили. На связь вышел один из слизней, он сообщил, что робота направили в ремонтный модуль. Также слизень сообщил, что гости смогут приземлиться для осмотра ракеты и потом вернуться на землю. Ярослав согласился на посадку. Пока ракета была на осмотре Ярослав показал новой знакомой местное угощение. Попробовав лунный мармелад ребята отправились домой. Девочка после возвращения сказала, что ей очень понравилось их путешествие, и что теперь Ярослав может считать её своим другом. Конец!
Part 1. The Space friend.
Chapter 1. The telemetry wristband.
The modern day of a big and noisy city with a lot of houses, cars and young people mastering electric scooters. In one of the green parks, a sad boy wanders past benches and grounds with walking four-legged friends. It's really summer weather outside and he just wants someone to play with. The boy's name is Yarik, unfortunately, he has no brother or sister in his family. Parents often stay long hours at work. His only friend is his grandmother, who lives next door and periodically visits her grandson and brings delicious treats.
And one summer day the boy got tired of sitting at home, and he decided to make a friend. A park suitable for walking was just near the house. The boy wanted to adopt a lonely puppy or kitten. Sometimes he walked with his parents in the park in the summer, and passing by the training grounds, he saw people and pets playing and having fun. When pets carried out the commands of their owners, they received gratitude in return. The park was close to the house and the boy planned to return home quickly. When he walked in the park there, as usual, trained pets frolicked. All of them were combed and in beautiful overalls, pleasing to the eyes of the hosts. It seemed that everyone had different breeds – from African silent dogs to the South Russian Shepherd. Having walked through the park, the boy, unfortunately, did not find either a lonely puppy or a small kitten.
When the tired boy returned to the yard it was already late evening. On that day, his parents stayed longer than usual. Walking around the neighborhood, the boy suddenly noticed a lonely walking dog. Unfortunately, he was already old, but this did not bother the future owner, since he had little choice. A lone dog, wandering in the middle of the yard, turned into a dark corner and disappeared from view, and the boy decided to follow him. He saved a few grandma's treats for the occasion. The Yarik having reached the place where the dog disappeared from view, noticed that the new friend was standing motionless and warily looking at something. The boy took out treats and called the dog to him. Suddenly noticing a man, the dog abruptly disappeared into the depths of a dark street. The upset boy, seeing the reaction of the dog, went back to the outdoors. Suddenly, a strange sound was heard from the darkness, it looked like a radio, which the grandson sometimes listened to when visiting his grandmother. The Yarik's curiosity took up and he decided to return and find out what was the matter. When he turned into a dark corner, in the midst of the darkness could see the light coming from the ground, in the very place where the old dog had been. Coming closer, the boy noticed a small telemetry screen with a map image, which was attached to the bracelet. Puzzled, Yarik picked up the bracelet and decided to put the strange watch on his hand. Immediately after the fitting, human speech was heard from, the voice on the device asked for confirmation of the coordinates. The boy decided to ask and find out in more detail what kind of device it is. Suddenly, a yard dog appeared out of the darkness. He walked straight up to the boy looked into his eyes and suddenly spoke. "Hi!", the dog greeted the new acquaintance. “Hello!”, the boy replied in surprise. The Yarik was very surprised by the talking dog, new friend said that he could explain everything if the boy would help him. The dog asked to put the device on him, he said that he accidentally left it when he wanted to examine the map. The boy dressed the device as a collar, and thanks to the rubber bracelet, it easily fit on the dog's neck.
Immediately after the dog received the collar, he introduced himself to Yarik as a soldier Tramp. The boy responded cheerfully by saying his name. The old dog continued the story, that the bracelet is part of rocket technology. The bracelet went to Tramp when he worked in the space industry associated with launching rockets. There, his last nickname was Private Laikin, he was a reserve dog when, on August 19, 1960, the first rocket launched the Sputnik-5 spacecraft with animals on board into orbit. Then the initiative to fly passed to the people, and he was sent to rest. But now a new task has been found for him and he will need human help. New coordinates lead him to the suburbs, but it's a long way to get there. Yarik remembered his grandmother's ticket, which she uses when she travels out of town. The boy told the Tramp that he could get it, but he wouldn't be able to leave the house for long. To this, the dog said that this was a great offer, but one telemetry image would be required. The dog began to call the person on duty in the yard on the bracelet and a mouse-robot answered the call, he appeared on the screen and introduced himself as Rodent. The Tramp began to explain that he needed to make a telemetric image of the boy for several days. Rodent asked in response to clearly name the address of the boy's apartment. Yarik have thought that a mouse-robot could stay with him forever. But he had already left the communication air. Yarik went up to his grandmother, she was not at home, that evening she was on duty as a concierge. He was able to easily take the travel card, which, as usual, lay in a glass sideboard. Yarik closed the apartment, went down to the Tramp and they went to the indicated coordinates.
