In exchange for this technology, the Soviet Space Administration decided to share some confidential technologies about the space station with us.

Both parties are very satisfied with the technical exchange between them.

After completing the exchange of this technology, Yang Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, went to Xu You to express his gratitude.

"Professor Xu, thank you for your contribution to the National Space Administration! We have reached a technology exchange agreement with the Soviet Union Space Administration, and the Soviet Union decided to license some of the core technologies of the space station to us. In recognition of your contribution, CNSA will provide

You are awarded the Medal of Honor for Life and a bonus is provided to you."

"You're too polite. This is what I should do."

Xu You smiled and waved his hand. Originally, his original intention was just to worry that someone would get hurt.

I never thought about rewards and honors at all.

Compared with medals and bonuses, Xu You cares more about the aerospace technology of the Soviet Union.

"Mr. Yang, will I have the opportunity to come into contact with these core technologies provided by Su Guo in the future?"

"Of course, this is in exchange for your technology, and you must have such power. After we and the Soviet Union Space Agency officially complete the technology exchange, you can learn about these core technologies at any time."

Xu You has made so many contributions to the China Space Administration, and it is only natural that Xu You should know some internal secret technologies.

"Professor Xu, there is one more thing. The Soviet Union Space Administration has successfully analyzed some data of this out-of-control satellite. The reasons for the satellite's loss of contact and loss of control are being analyzed. They have also shared these data with us. I hope

We can also help them analyze it together.”

Upon hearing the news, Xu You quickly asked:

"Then Mr. Yang, please let me participate too."

Xu You has always wanted to unlock the secret of the out-of-control satellite. Now that the Soviet Union Space Administration is willing to share these data, it is exactly what Xu You wants.

"As long as Professor Xu is willing, that's what we intend to do. Finding this reason is a matter of great significance to us all over the world."

The data from satellites like this are very confidential and will not be easily shared with space agencies of other countries.

But this time, after the Soviet Union analyzed the satellite data, preliminary analysis did not find out the reason for the satellite loss of contact.

Since CNSA can even predict the landing point of out-of-control satellite debris so accurately.

They also have reason to believe that China can provide them with help on this issue.

After receiving the relevant satellite data, Xu You participated in the analysis of the data.

Because the amount of data is relatively limited, the analysis of the causes is not easy.

At present, the Soviet Space Agency believes that possible reasons include satellite fuel exhaustion, rare system failures, and satellites hitting space junk, etc.

In addition to these reasons, Xu You speculated that there is a more likely reason.

"I think it may be solar activity that caused the satellite to suddenly lose contact."

At the discussion, Xu You explained his point of view.

According to satellite data, the satellite experienced a rapid decline in orbit for a period of time before losing contact.

This rapid decline in orbit is not due to some sudden situation, but the result of accumulation bit by bit.

This period of time coincides with the activity of sunspots.

Because these influencing factors will only have a greater impact on satellites in certain orbits, and the greater the mass of the satellite, the more serious the impact will be.

So far, no other satellites have been reported to be similarly affected.

"Professor Xu, how confident are you in this inference?"

Since the amount of data is not sufficient, Xu You cannot guarantee that his inference is correct.

"I'm not very sure. This is just a more likely inference. But we have ways to further verify whether this inference is correct."

After hearing Xu You's words, everyone in the conference room suddenly became excited.

"Professor Xu, what is your method?"

"Check our satellites in this orbit, and none of the orbits are affected. If my inference is correct, our satellites will also be affected to varying degrees. The greater the mass, the greater the impact will be.

."

"Okay, Professor Xu, let's check our data right away!"

Just as Xu You expected.

Our satellite data shows that our satellites in this orbit have indeed experienced a decline in orbital altitude recently.

However, because the magnitude of the decline is small, it is within the normal fluctuation range, and the track repairs have been automatically completed.

In general, satellites with greater mass will have a greater decline in orbit.

"According to my inference, because the strength of the solar wind caused by sunspots is uneven, there may be a sudden increase in resistance strength at certain locations. The Su satellite is very likely to have encountered such an extreme situation.

, because the resistance increases sharply in a short period of time, directly causing the satellite to lose control."

With the support of data, Xu You's point of view becomes more convincing.

"Okay, then we will contact the Soviet Space Agency immediately to explain our inference."

Xu You frowned, thought for a while and said:

"If possible, I hope to share this news with all major aerospace systems around the world. This is not only a matter of concern to us and the Soviet Union, but also a matter of safety to all mankind."

After all, if another satellite falls, it may not necessarily fall to where.

"Yes, Professor Xu, this is also our idea. After we contact the Soviet Union Space Administration, we will notify the aerospace systems of various countries about this news."

This time, without waiting for NASA to proactively request relevant information, CNSA notified NASA and suggested that they check the data of the re-orbiting satellite to see if there are any abnormalities.

"What did you say? CNSA believes that solar activity caused this satellite accident?"

"Yes, according to them, this possibility is very high."

Robert thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed very important and could not be ignored.

"Okay, then let's quickly conduct a self-examination on our satellite. This situation cannot be underestimated. We don't want our satellite to have a similar accident."

Under the inspection of the aerospace systems of various countries.

Similar situations were found.

Because these conditions coincide with the time of sunspot activity and conform to the corresponding regular characteristics.

All major aerospace systems agree that this should be the most likely cause of the failure.

But the matter is far from over yet.

Because just finding the cause is not enough.

If a similar situation happens again, a solution must be found.
