Chapter 1470 Repair the Satellite!

If these orders are given to any commercial aerospace company, they will be very excited and very headache at the same time.

Because for them, the launch of each rocket requires a long preparation, from manufacturing, debugging, to the final launch, it needs to go through a long process.

With so many orders placed in their hands, they simply cannot complete all of them in a short period of time. In fact, under normal circumstances, the orders received by commercial aerospace companies are carried out on a yearly basis, and orders received at the beginning of the year often require It won't actually launch until the end of the year or even Year 2.

For Aegis Aerospace, the situation is completely different.

After the construction of the spacecraft is completed, it can be put into normal use after this test flight.

For this spacecraft, which is built with the current aerospace technology beyond the earth, the launch mission of the earth orbit is not much different from an ordinary flight for an ordinary aircraft.

If there is enough time, it can fly once a day!

Of course, considering the actual situation, the time spent on each flight mission itself, as well as the preliminary preparations and post-launch maintenance work, it is not realistic to perform a flight mission every day.

However, after integrating and planning the existing orders, Aegis Aerospace has carried out several satellite launches and space station material transportation tasks at a frequency of once a week, and all of them have been completed perfectly without any accidents.

With the smooth execution of the launch missions, people who were worried that the SHIELD Group's spacecraft would have potential safety hazards like the space shuttle have also been relieved, and the launch orders received by the SHIELD Group have continued to increase.

If it weren't for the carrying capacity of the Aegis spacecraft far exceeding that of ordinary launch vehicles and space shuttles, many launch tasks could be combined and completed at the same time, and they would have to consider whether to build another spacecraft in order to meet the rapidly growing orders.

And this is actually just the beginning. The functions of the Aegis spacecraft go far beyond launching satellites and transporting supplies.

Spaceships that can fly directly into outer space with their huge size not only have super carrying capacity, but also can perform tasks that a variety of rocket platforms simply cannot perform.

The functions of the Aegis spacecraft are very comprehensive. In addition to the huge cargo compartment, spacious cab and crew compartment, it is also equipped with multi-functional robotic arms and various detection devices.

In addition to the capabilities of satellite deployment, space transportation and space exploration, it can also carry out maintenance of satellites, recovery of satellites, space rescue, space experiments and production,

missions such as space travel.

Small spaceships or space capsules launched by ordinary launch vehicles must accurately calculate the orbit due to the limited fuel and materials they carry. Any mistakes and omissions may lead to mission failure.

The Aegis spacecraft, which uses new propulsion fuel, has sufficient power and can move flexibly in Earth orbit, perform various complex tasks, or stay in space orbit directly as a space station. The various materials carried by the spacecraft are also sufficient. Support their long-term stay in space orbit.

A very complex and difficult mission for NASA and commercial space companies is very simple for Aegis spacecraft.

Some countries, companies and laboratories that have the need for space experiments but do not have space stations have also placed orders for space experiments after confirming the manned safety of the spacecraft.

Since space experiments usually take longer, at least a few days, the Aegis spacecraft is also more fully scheduled.

At the same time, many satellite maintenance tasks have also come to the door.

Satellites run and work in harsh space orbits and are subject to huge temperature differences and strong space radiation. Various precision equipment on WeChat is prone to various failures.

If it's just a system problem, you can do your best to remotely repair and troubleshoot from the ground.

But if it's a hardware problem, then they're left with two options, or watch the satellite gradually drop in altitude, eventually crashing into the dense Earth's atmosphere and burning up.

Or if the satellites are still in control and there is fuel left, they can be raised to a so-called "graveyard orbit" 38,000 kilometers above the ground, at which these abandoned satellites will not be able to work properly. Satellites pose a threat.

But how can countries and companies that own satellites be willing to throw away these things that cost hundreds of millions of dollars?

Most of the equipment of these satellites is usually good, and only one of them is broken, or the fuel to maintain the orbital altitude is exhausted. It is a pity to abandon it like this.

But because there is no way to go to space to repair the satellite, and there is no way to refuel it, they can only choose the above two options to abandon the satellite.

It was not until the United States developed the space shuttle that humans had the ability to repair satellites, and several satellites have been repaired by the space shuttle.

However, since the retirement of all US space shuttles a few years ago, in theory, human beings have now lost the ability to repair faulty satellites in orbit.

And the appearance of this spacecraft of Aegis Aerospace has undoubtedly given them hope again.

No matter how expensive it is to repair, it is far cheaper than re-manufacturing and launching a satellite, not to mention the delay in re-launching a satellite.

In addition to these various space missions, this spacecraft is most concerned about its space travel plan!

That's right, after several manned missions to confirm the safety of the spacecraft, SHIELD Aerospace officially launched its space travel program.

At present, only the Earth orbit sightseeing project has been launched, and the ticket price of the spacecraft is 10 million US dollars per person, and the moon and Mars travel plans that have never been before will be launched in the future.

Due to the huge technical advantages of the Aegis spacecraft and the launch and return methods different from the launch vehicle, the overload during the entire flight process, especially the launch and landing, is much smaller than that of the launch vehicle. Ordinary personnel can also bear it, which also allows many space travel enthusiasts who could not bear the powerful overload of a rocket launch due to their unsatisfactory physical fitness, but also have the opportunity to realize their dream of space travel.

Moreover, the crew compartment of the Aegis spacecraft is much more spacious than that of the rocket ship and the US space shuttle. The flight experience is simply not the way of traveling in a tin can-like space capsule before being launched into space by a rocket. comparable.
