Chapter 980 Accelerating the Expansion of the Space Station

Latest website:

Deputy Director Chen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had an in-depth exchange with Ding Yue on various aspects such as the development of aerospace science and technology, Mars landing exploration, and space station technical cooperation.

Both sides have the intention to strengthen close cooperation.

However, Ding Yue said that the premise for cooperation between Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, Feiyue Aerospace and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is to establish their own private aerospace technology. Deputy Director Chen also made it clear that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will do everything possible. To help and support the development of Feiyue Aerospace, a private aerospace technology enterprise.

After all, for the country, the development and construction of Feiyue Technology is benchmarked against the overseas Space Exploration Technology Company of Yingjiang. I believe that it goes without saying that Deputy Director Chen and others understand how strong the Space Exploration Technology Company is.

Yingjiang's satellite launches, Mars exploration, etc. all have certain technical and cost advantages. If the country wants to catch up, it will definitely not be enough to rely solely on the efforts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The emergence of Feiyue Aerospace is a very good opportunity.

First of all, Feiyue Aerospace is backed by Feiyue Group. As an entity enterprise, Feiyue Group has a market value in the trillions even if it is not listed. For such a large-scale company, the capital investment in aerospace technology must not be underestimated. of.

In fact, Feiyue Aerospace has proven themselves with their excellent research and development capabilities, that is, rocket recovery technology.

Feiyue Aerospace will also build its own space launch base center, and will also build its own rockets, satellites, space stations, and even spaceships in the future, which shows the ambition of Feiyue Aerospace.

"Principal Ding, if you need help from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in rocket research and development, just ask."

Deputy Director Chen gave Ding Yue a "guarantee."

That is the technical support for rocket research.

After all, domestic rockets are very mature and advanced in terms of technology and have a good foundation. This can play a positive role in promoting the development of Feiyue aerospace.

If Ding Yue's Feiyue Aerospace wants to create its own rocket system, or even a spaceship system, it must develop and manufacture its own rockets.

After all, after the space launch base center is built, what will happen without rockets?

It’s not just about building rockets.

Moreover, it is necessary to build a low-cost and powerful rocket, so that it can be highly competitive compared with the rockets of the Eagle Space Exploration Technology Company.

if not.

Even if you build a rocket and have rocket recovery technology, the cost of rocket launch is actually relatively high compared to space exploration technology companies.

So under such circumstances, if countries around the world want to launch satellites or conduct space exploration activities, should they choose a space exploration technology company or Feiyue Aerospace?

Naturally, you have to choose the one with the higher price/performance ratio.

For now, Space Exploration Technology Company does have a great advantage, and what they represent is cost-effectiveness.

However, the domestic space agency also has some technical advantages of its own, so the space agency can also get some satellite launch orders from international countries every year.

"Thank you, Director Chen. With the support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, I think our development of Feiyue Aerospace will definitely be accelerated a lot."

Ding Yue expressed his gratitude to Deputy Director Chen.

"We are currently in the critical period of the second and third phases of building a space station. We need to launch many space station modules and frequently send astronauts to the space station. The cost budget is extremely high, but we cannot If you don’t do this, now that your Feiyue Aerospace and Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences’ rocket recovery technology has been successfully tested, I think it should be implemented as soon as possible and put into the planned launch of the space station, what do you think?”

Deputy Director Chen suddenly talked about business very seriously.

have to say.

Deputy Director Chen spoke very "organically". He first promised Ding Yue that he would provide support to Feiyue Aerospace in rocket development and manufacturing, which was considered a benefit to Feiyue Aerospace.

Afterwards, Deputy Director Chen focused on the most critical matter.

That is the rocket recovery technology that Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace successfully tested today. The meaning is obvious, that is, since your rocket recovery technology has been successfully tested, our National Aeronautics and Space Administration will start to use it.

"Of course no problem."

Ding Yue nodded and replied without hesitation.

Ding Yue hardly needed to think about this matter.

What is the purpose of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace developing rocket recovery technology? Could it be that he is trying to make money with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

of course not!

Ding Yue already regards the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as a "relative" existence, but because he is a private aerospace technology company of a private enterprise, there are still some differences from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, so the two parties can only have close communication. cooperate.

In cooperating with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Ding Yue can not ask for any profit. After all, Ding Yue's Feiyue Aerospace is not inferior to the profit of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's orders.

As a son of China, what Ding Yue can do is to promote the continuous development of domestic aerospace technology.

Nowadays, the construction of Xia State's space station is in full swing, and the scale of the space station is constantly expanding. Space station modules are launched one after another to establish docking with the space station to form a larger space station.

As Deputy Director Chen said, the transition from the second stage to the third stage has been reached. Space station cabins and manned launch missions are becoming more and more frequent. When the third stage matures, Xia Guo’s space station can The round-trip exploration mission from Earth to Mars has begun.

The space station is the greatest guarantee for Mars exploration and landing. It can be regarded as a harbor. If you want to transport any materials and personnel from the earth to Mars, just relying on a spacecraft is obviously not enough.

After all, what is the carrying capacity of a spaceship?

The carrying capacity of a mature space station and the number of astronauts can be greatly increased.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the space station must be large enough, otherwise the carrying capacity and exploration capabilities will be limited.

"That would be great."

Seeing that Ding Yue readily agreed, Deputy Director Chen was overjoyed and said: "With rocket recovery technology, the completion of the third phase in 2028 can be advanced to 2017, or even by the end of this year." Finished ahead of schedule.”

Another year was gained.

This is really great news for the domestic aerospace industry plan.

After all, according to the previous plan, if rocket recovery technology is not included in the plan for the expansion of the space station and the exploration of Mars, the third phase of maturity of the space station will only be achieved in 2028, that is, two years later. , and then make preparations, and then start from the earth for the first time and arrive near Mars for exploration. This will take more than a year in total.

Calculating this, by the time Xia's space agency starts using the space station to explore Mars, it will already be 2030.

Not only this time cost, but also the cost of rocket launch is extremely high.

With the advent of rocket recovery technology, rocket recovery technology can be frequently used to launch rocket carrier space capsules. In this way, not only the time cost, but also the economic cost has been greatly optimized.

This is definitely exciting news!

"Chen Department."

Ding Yue suddenly wanted to say something.

"Um?"

Deputy Director Chen stopped walking, turned to look at Principal Ding, and asked, "What?"

"As for the space station, can we get one or two astronauts through spaceflight?"

Ding Yue directly put forward his thoughts without hiding it.

After the space station expands in size, the number of astronauts that can stay on it will definitely be increased. By 2022, domestic space stations will generally have three people on board.

In 2024, the number of nuclear passengers on the domestic space station will be six, but usually five people will go up.

Now the nuclear capacity of 202 has reached the maximum number of ten people, but it is usually eight people.

When rocket recovery technology is used in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's rocket launch and space station expansion plans, the scale of the space station will accelerate. The number of nuclear passengers will definitely increase by then, and it may even be able to carry two small teams of astronauts. Members and scientists will go to Mars to explore.

Ding Yue thought that his Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace would definitely train their own astronauts, so this was a good opportunity.

"This really should be considered. After all, this rocket recovery technology comes from your Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace."

Deputy Director Chen said with a smile: "We will see how many places there are then, and then we at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will hold a meeting to discuss how many places we can allocate to you. What do you think?"

"OK."

Ding Yue felt relieved when Deputy Director Chen said this.

Deputy Director Chen said he would do it. Since he said he could transfer astronaut quotas for several space stations to Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace, there was basically no problem.

In this wave, both sides get what they need.

"Principal Na Ding, our rocket recovery technology team will be taken away by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the time being."

Deputy Director Chen said jokingly.

"no problem."

Ding Yue nodded.

In the following period, the rocket recovery technology team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace followed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

After all, if you stay on your side, you can only wait for the completion of the space launch base center before you can take action. Moreover, you have just promised that you will use rocket recovery technology to strongly support the accelerated expansion of the space station of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Since the National Aeronautics and Space Administration wants to continuously launch rockets to accelerate the expansion of the space station, it naturally needs the full support of its own rocket recovery technology team.

During this walk, Ding Yue talked a lot with Deputy Director Chen.

When the time was almost up, secretary Wen Ruohan called and told Ding Yue that the evening celebration banquet was almost ready, and all the staff involved in rocket recovery technology today had been invited.

"Director Chen, the celebration banquet is ready. Let's go there now."

Ding Yue invited Deputy Director Chen.

"Okay, let's go."

Deputy Director Chen nodded, and then returned to the parking lot of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center building with Ding Yue. They took a car together and left the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and headed for Jiuquan City.

On the Jiuquancheng side, Huang Youjie, the director of the logistics department of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, with the assistance of Xu Bin, and Zhang Luo, secretary Wen Ruohan, prepared a celebration banquet at the Jiuquancheng Hotel.

Many staff members were received by special cars one after another and came to Jiuquancheng Hotel to participate in the celebration banquet.

This celebration banquet is to celebrate the success of today's rocket recovery technology experiment. The team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and the team of Feiyue Aerospace are the most happy.

The staff of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are also happy for them.

After all, the rocket recovery technology developed by Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences will definitely be used in the rocket launch missions of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Everyone guessed this is correct. Ding Yue and Deputy Director Chen have already reached an agreement on this issue. There was an intention to cooperate, and Ding Yue temporarily gave the team to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Everyone was very happy at the celebration party that night.

Ding Yue also had a few drinks with Deputy Director Chen, and then drank a lot with members of his research team at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace.

Looking at these young people, Ding Yue felt quite emotional.

In the future, the world must be dominated by these young people who graduated from Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

They learned professional knowledge at their own Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and applied it after graduation. In this way, one genius after another was trained by Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

"Your future is limitless. The stars, the sea, and the vast universe are waiting for you to explore."

This is Ding Yue’s “evaluation” and expectations for the geniuses at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Leap Space.

At the same time, this is also the future that Ding Yue hopes to see.

When I, the aerospace technology researchers at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and the staff of Feiyue Aerospace, engage in aerospace technology research, they do it not for the sake of fighting for rice and money, but because they have the ambition to long for the vast stars.

Without such lofty ideals, who would be able to dedicate their life to such an industry?

At the celebration banquet, Ding Yue informed the aerospace science and technology research team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and the Feiyue Aerospace work team that they would follow the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to participate in a major cooperation project.

"After you arrive at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, you must cooperate closely and do your best. Do you understand?"

Ding Yue gave some instructions to the young and promising geniuses under his command.

"clear!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The determination in their eyes was something Ding Yue had seen before in the eyes of his students at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and in the eyes of his employees at Feiyue Group.

"Principal Ding, after we go to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, can we come back?"

Suddenly, someone asked.

"Of course, I'm not selling you to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I'm just transferring you to assist the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in participating in cooperation projects." Ding Yue replied with a smile.
