Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. After all, this is the first unmanned experimental spacecraft. For them, the most important thing is to achieve the most basic and most important core technologies of successful launch, successful flight, successful return, and successful landing. In addition to
In addition, the life support and life support system of the spacecraft are also very important.
Compared with this time, some other test items appear to be less important, or have a lower priority. After all, you have to eat a little bit, and you can't eat it all at once, which is unrealistic.
Okay, let’s end it. Wu Hao nodded.
Yes! Under Wu Hao's instruction, the big screen immediately returned to the previous images.
After returning to normal, Wu Hao said to Zhou Xiangming: "After the return capsule of our Walker 1 unmanned experimental spacecraft separates and returns to Earth, this service module will also return to the atmosphere and burn up."
Zhou Xiangming nodded and said: "That's it. After the return program is started, the directional engine on the service module will start to adjust the direction and angle, then start the main engine and enter the return orbit. After reaching a certain position, the return module will fall off.
, and then return to the earth and land along the designed trajectory.
As for the service module, it will continue to fly in space for a period of time relying on power, and then return to the atmosphere deep in the southwest Pacific. More than 95% of the materials will be slightly in the atmosphere, leaving only 5%.
The debris may fall into the sea. It is not a main shipping route, so it will not harm passing ships and people."
After listening to Zhou Xiangming's report, Wu Hao nodded, and then asked him: "What about the Walker 2 unmanned experimental spacecraft? What are your plans?"
The Walker 2 unmanned experimental spacecraft is the backup to the Walker 1 unmanned experimental spacecraft. Wu Hao and his crew’s manned space project also designed backup projects in accordance with our country’s aerospace development ideas. Once the main project fails, the backup project can be
Liftoff occurs within a very short period of time.
Before the launch, no one would believe that Wu Hao and his new rocket and new spacecraft could successfully launch the experiment in one go. You must know that Musk set off fireworks many times when he was building an interstellar spacecraft.
Even the members of the project team did not have much confidence, and many of them were even ready to face failure. Unexpectedly, the first time it happened, it went extremely smoothly, which made everyone put down half of their worries and still
Half of them have to wait for the return capsule of the spacecraft to return and land successfully before they can be put down.
If it succeeds, what should we do with the backup Walker 2 unmanned experimental spacecraft?
Hearing Wu Hao's inquiry, Zhou Xiangming replied seriously to him: "In this regard, I have also communicated with Mr. Yu (Yu Chengwu) and Mr. Guo Yulong. Our opinions are still on the technology of this backup unmanned experimental spacecraft.
Improvements are made to continue launches and experiments.
This can shorten the relevant development and preparation time, and naturally save funds to the greatest extent, which can be used in subsequent experiments.
If the return capsule of the Walker 1 unmanned experimental spacecraft lands safely, we plan to launch the second unmanned experimental spacecraft from late July to early August.
If there are no problems with this launch, we will launch the third unmanned experimental spacecraft in winter and around New Year. And on this unmanned experimental spacecraft, we will consider sending relevant experimental animals into space.
.”
animal?
There are indeed such experimental cases in the history of aerospace development in various countries, that is, some experimental animals were sent into space before manning them, such as orangutans, macaques, puppies, mice, etc.
But now that testing technology has become quite mature and advanced, is it still necessary to conduct such controversial animal experiments? Once disclosed, I am afraid it will attract great criticism.
There is no way. There are too many moral kidnappings nowadays. Everyone is a moral defender. Even large companies must deal with them carefully and not give these people any opportunities to exploit and hype.
Sensing the look on Wu Hao's face, Zhou Xiangming immediately explained: "We will carry out a manned flight next year, so before that, we must ensure the reliability of the entire life support system and life support system. This aspect relies on any instrument
There are certain risks in equipment testing, so it is better to simply send your life up and fly around. This is more reliable and safer.
In fact, all manned spacecrafts will go through such a process before carrying people, and this cannot be omitted.
We have entrusted a biological experiment company in Shanghai to help us breed two medical experimental macaques. According to the introduction, we will select one, then put it into a special "space suit" and then send it to space."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. He didn't have the so-called sexual desire, he just had concerns. But since it couldn't be avoided, he couldn't care about it.
Moreover, the fate of these two macaques is much better than that of other experimental macaques. The other experimental macaques will not escape death in the end. And these two macaques, if the experiment is successful, will also serve as heroes.
of care.
If the experiment fails, then it is still great. It has dedicated its life to the human aerospace industry and can write a mark in the history of aerospace. Compared with its peers, it can at least be remembered by future generations.
Now that he has said this, Wu Hao couldn't help but look at Zhou Xiangming and asked: "What do you think about our first manned flight to space?"
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhou Xiangming smiled and said: "Our company has not trained professional astronauts, and ordinary people must not be able to do it.
It is definitely not possible to sell tickets for the first flight, and no one will take the risk to buy it.
So my suggestion is still to cooperate with the aerospace department to see if we can get an astronaut rotation project for the space station.
Of course, it may be a little difficult to win the astronaut transportation rotation project for the first flight. But it is not impossible, and I think we can fight for it."
Regarding Zhou Xiangming's question, Wu Hao nodded, but he did not express his position. Because this project is indeed difficult, it will definitely not be easy to win it.
According to his previous communication with the leaders of the aerospace department, there is no problem in docking with the space station and transporting materials and equipment to the space station, but it may be difficult to obtain the qualifications to transport astronauts.
On the one hand, the aerospace department certainly does not trust their technical products. After all, this project is very risky. On the other hand, there are also aerospace technology companies competing there.
So when Wu Hao thought about this, he couldn't help but get a headache. But as Zhou Xiangming said, you still have to fight for it, otherwise how will you know if it will not succeed.
