Chapter 455 Preparing to build a mid-orbit space station

The entire press conference came to an end in the excitement of Wang Xu and others. It can be said that this new machine launch conference is a fruitful harvest for Tiangong Technology. After all, this is an intentional order of more than 1,000 aircraft what!

The total order for these more than a thousand aircraft is as high as hundreds of billions. Even this aircraft, due to the price, is not very high, but with such a large quantity, Tiangong Technology can earn at least tens of billions. profit.

.........

Of course, although Wang Bin also paid some attention to the matters at the press conference, he did not spend much time. After all, Wang Bin had already handed over the matters at the press conference to Wang Xu and other high-level executives of Tiangong Technology. , so Wang Bin believes that they will definitely handle this matter well.

Therefore, after they developed the vertical take-off and landing aircraft, Wang Bin plunged into the design and development of Tiangong Technology's medium and large aircraft.

Of course, the most important project for Tiangong Technology at this time is to cooperate with the official to build a space station.

The space station built by Tiangong Technology and the official cooperation is not a project that the official has been building before.

After all, the space station that the government was building before is also a low-Earth orbit space station in real time, and besides the government itself, many countries also need to join in the construction of this space station.

As for the space station cooperated by Tiangong Technology and the official, according to the discussion results between Wang Bin and the official, this space station will no longer be an earth-orbit space station, but a medium-orbit space station.

According to Wang Bin's discussion, the orbital height of the space station they are about to build will reach a height of 5,000 kilometers.

In addition, according to Wang Bin's plan, the volume of this space station will be larger than the official space station currently under construction. After the completion of this space station, it will not only carry out various scientific research tasks, but also the life and survival of astronauts. At the same time, it also undertakes tasks such as deep space relay, deep space positioning, deep space exploration, and air-to-ground communication.

In addition, this space station will also undertake a very important mission in the future, that is, the mission of the space relay gas station.

It is the task of providing fuel for various manned spacecraft of Tiangong Technology in the future. It can be said that the technical difficulty of the entire project is hell-level even for Tiangong Technology now.

After all, according to the preliminary design drawings, the tonnage of the core module of this space station alone is as high as 50 tons, and if you want to send such a heavy space station core module to an orbital altitude of 5,000 kilometers, with the current capabilities of Tiangong Technology, in addition to the upcoming Except for the Tiangong-9 rocket that has been developed, there is no rocket in China or even the whole world that can send this core module into orbit.

Of course, if it was decades ago, there was still a rocket that could send this core module into orbit, and that would be the Bald Eagle's Saturn V rocket.

But now in the whole world, there is no rocket with this capability.

In addition to the weight of the core module will reach 50 tons, the weight of the other modules of the entire space station is not light, at least has reached more than 30 tons, the most important thing is that these modules will no longer Like the cabins of traditional space stations, they are cylindrical. The shapes of these cabins, including the core cabin, are all rectangular.

Although there are many disadvantages of designing the cabin section of the space station as a rectangle, the biggest disadvantage is that compared with a cylinder, the space inside the rectangle is much smaller.

They are all rectangular cabins, and they also have their own advantages, that is, the rectangular cabins are easier to realize patchwork welding in space.

In this way, the volume of the space station can be made larger,

It can withstand greater compressive and tensile capabilities.

After all, according to Wang Bin's prediction, the overall weight of this space station will exceed the space station that was already under construction by the government before, reaching thousands of tons. At the same time, there will be multiple docking ports on this space station, and the weight of these docking ports The purpose is naturally to prepare for docking aerospace planes and spacecraft in the future.

Of course, the construction of such a huge space station will naturally require astronauts' space operations in the future, such as fixed welding between modules, etc. A lot of work, because Tiangong Technology has not yet developed engineering robots for space environments, so manual work is required. to accomplish this work.

So once the space station starts construction, it will naturally require a large number of astronauts.

For this reason, in fact, Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology have already sat down and prepared. The astronauts in their entire Tiangong Technology have reached more than 30 people.

The astronaut team of more than 30 people seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is still far from enough for his entire space station plan, let alone a larger space plan in the future.

For example, the high-orbit space station plan, the lunar orbit space station plan, the moon survival scientific research base plan, and so on.

It is also because of this that Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology have submitted multiple application reports to the government during this period of time, hoping that the official can give Tiangong Technology a team of at least 100 astronauts.

In this regard, the official has also given a reply to Tiangong Technology in the past few days. These astronauts will come to their Tiangong Technology to report in the near future.

It's just that these astronauts are just novices who have only received basic training.

After all, astronauts who have already had spaceflight experience are very valuable even to officials. Naturally, it is impossible to have extra for Tiangong Technology, even if Tiangong Technology is now a real regular army.

Wang Bin didn't care too much about this. After all, Tiangong Technology's Phoenix-kt1 aerospace plane test flight has reached a relatively high stage, and only in terms of prototypes, Tiangong Technology has already produced it. Three planes have been produced, and this small-scale mass production has also begun.

According to the speed of construction, in the next year, the number of aerospace aircraft owned by Tiangong Technology will reach more than ten.

All, as long as these astronauts come and let them go to the sky for a few laps with the test flight aerospace plane, then these astronauts will be fine when they arrive.

Now the most urgent problem facing the astronauts of Tiangong Technology is how to let these astronauts quickly master the crafts of space welding and other aspects.

After all, the assembly of space station modules in space is not as good as on the ground. Even if the expertise in this area on the ground is brought into space manually, it may not be able to handle it, let alone astronauts.

Therefore, once the construction of the space station starts, they must master these professional skills.

Of course, in addition to these, there are various professional tools used in space, and their Tiangong Technology must also pay close attention to research and development, such as welding machines used in space, professional welding rods used in space, etc.

In addition, in terms of spacesuits, ordinary spacesuits cannot carry out various engineering work in space at all, so professional spacesuits are necessary, preferably hard spacesuits, that is, full-body exoskeletons. Covered spacesuit.
