Chapter 1618 Space Junk

Looking at the rocket from afar. .

Not long after, a large ball of fire emerged from below, spewing out a long distance along the flame conduit. The loud noise could be clearly heard within two kilometers. The big guy with a huge amount of more than 500 tons began to rise slowly.

Musk's face was nervous, his hands were clenched into fists, most afraid of the Rockets' sudden abnormality, causing explosions, etc. Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. It was like a pen that was rising from the bottom, rising rapidly into the air, with the traces of flames longer than the Rockets themselves.

He mumbled something in his mouth, his eyes kept looking at the watch, while the rocket kept moving up, and soon he could only see a ball of fire.

Han Xuanhua's thoughts on Rockets manufacturing were not as good as him, so she felt fine. She asked Winnie to come to the telescope and gave it to Musk, and said to him with a smile: "Hold it, I feel like you need it more than I do."

Elon Musk was also laughing, not polite to him. After taking the telescope, he said thank you.

He looked in the direction of the rocket taking off with a telescope. Soon after, he muttered: "The first-stage rocket fell off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flames disappeared. The ignition of the second-stage rocket was very important. This guy kept whispering "God Blessing", picked up the radio communicator, and asked how the rocket was on the podium.

The total number of R&D team of the Orion-1 rocket exceeds 1,300 people, and more than 1,000 people in the United States. In the research institute outside Moscow, the capital of Russia, there are more than 200 experts working for South Korea propaganda.

When they were about to bring them all to the United States, they were banned by the Russian authorities. The good era of plundering talents from there has passed. In fact, many high-end talents want to come to the United States to live.

Several years after the disintegration, Russia is still in chaos, with shortage of daily necessities and extremely low incomes from residents. It is reduced by foreign financial tycoons again and again, and their talents are useless.

It can be said that the spaex company has stood at a high position as soon as it was established, and the "Fat Ding" super computer is often loaned to them for use. With the idea of ​​making meticulous work, Han Xuan never urged them to build the rocket as soon as possible.

A high-precision object like a rocket, a small screw may cause an explosion if it is loose. He was already ready to fail once or twice, but he heard a voice from the communicator saying that the data is normal, and he was very happy.

The conditions are much better than when Musk developed the rocket himself in his previous life. Han Xuan was not surprised by its success. If he invested so much money and finally got a problem, he should find out the reason carefully.

It has been about seven and a half minutes since the launch, and there has not been an accident in Orion 1, which is enough to show that it is very safe. But this launch is not just for launch. It also carries a communication satellite worth nearly 200 million US dollars, and it must be successfully sent to orbit.

"Sorry, boss, I'll go to the command tower first, and I need to deal with some things." Musk said to Han Xuan after receiving a call.

Han Xuan nodded and replied to him: "Well, go and do your business, don't worry about us."

Then, Musk trotted all the way, got into the car, and drove away by himself, as if he was quite anxious.

Anya just looked up at the sky, and now her neck was sore, she asked, "Has it been successful, Han?"

"The rocket launch is probably successful. There are other missions. We will send our company's satellites into orbit later.

In the afternoon, I sent someone to Nasa to sign the business worth $1.64 billion. If there is no problem with the next launch, the spaex should be able to make a lot of money from it and quickly break away from my investment and achieve self-sufficiency.

There is also an order to transport supplies to the space station. Unfortunately, the spaex has no strength to take it down for the time being. The food and water that the astronauts in the space station eat and drink are probably the most expensive in the world."

Anya heard Han Xuan say that the launch cost was as high as tens of millions of dollars each time, and said, "It's just that the shipping cost is expensive, and the taste may be very bad. I've seen how they eat in the documentary."

"I tried it once, it's really not delicious."

The space station he mentioned refers to the "Mur" space station left by the former Soviet Union.

The International Space Station, jointly invested and established by Japan, the United States, Canada, the European Union and other countries, has been splicing one after another in the past two years and has been put into use recently. The space transportation market will be quite large in the future.

The launch time lasted for more than ten minutes. Mr. Michael Griffin was so excited that his face turned red. He didn't dare to say that the launch was successful before. Now it has been successful. The spaex employees who came with him shouted!

Han Xuan was also very happy because with the successful launch of the rocket, his value instantly soared by about 3 billion US dollars. He officially owned a private enterprise with huge development potential and could launch rockets. Whether or not the satellite was sent into a predetermined orbit, it was considered successful.

At this moment, Mr. Michael Griffin raised a question.

He asked Han Xuan and said, "Boss, have you ever thought about cleaning up space garbage?

I think that would be a very huge market. Recently, a spy satellite from the US side turned into waste because of the impact of space garbage. It was only a part of the parts were damaged, but it was impossible to repair it in space, and it lost more than 300 million US dollars..."

Han Xuan's attention was attracted by this sentence, and he looked at him and asked, "Why, you have come up with a good way to clean up space garbage?"

Since entering the universe in the 1950s, humans have launched two thousand super-high space launch vehicles, leaving a lot of garbage in space one after another. They float around in outer space, and they don’t know which day they will be affected by gravity and land on Earth.

Among the space garbage, there are scrapped satellites, rocket bodies, spacecraft parts, and even satellite paint sheets.

According to observation data released by NASA in 1998, there are now more than 60,000 space garbage with a diameter greater than one centimeter, while there are more than 190,000 kinds of garbage with a volume greater than one millimeter!

Just like the asteroid belt between Venus and Jupiter, it is very dangerous.

Although some of the debris are not big, they fly very fast, reaching about six to seven kilometers per second, so they contain huge lethality and pose a serious threat to the safety of satellites and manned spacecraft in orbit.

How to clean them has always been a difficult problem that plagues all over the world.

Michael Griffin also had no good idea, telling him: "Recently a professor at MIT proposed a novel idea of ​​removing space garbage, and planned to weave a huge space fishing net to salvage space garbage floating in Earth's orbit.

The hole is only one millimeter in diameter. It will begin to fall after wrapping too much garbage. It will be burned out during the process of entering the atmosphere..."
