Chapter 1,427 The Cornerstone of the Space Exploration Project
Yang Xiaoyun is not a professional technician, but she has been familiar with it for a long time, and with some professional studies, she is already familiar with this aspect, and she can introduce it eloquently.
Seeing Yang Xiaoyun finish speaking, Guo Yulong, the general person in charge of the spacecraft project, nodded and added: "We are also doing this to maximize benefits. If we want to build our own commercial space station in the future, we must have our own manned spacecraft and
Cargo spaceship.
The cost of developing a cargo spacecraft is too high, so we have targeted the manned spacecraft. Moreover, our manned spacecraft return capsule can be reused, so the cost will be further controlled and reduced.
.
In addition, this spacecraft has a very special function as a cargo spacecraft, that is, it can still return and land. In other words, we can directly transport some cargo from the space station back for related recycling and reuse. Of course
, you can also bring back some of the above experimental products to create relevant value."
After listening to the two people's introduction, Lin Wei, Zou Xiaodong and their entourage had a more detailed understanding of the unmanned experimental spacecraft and the return capsule. Of course, these are just some general remarks and what can be said.
.Some complex professional terms, some things that cannot be said, naturally cannot be said in front of these people, on such an occasion.
While listening to their introduction, Wu Hao carefully observed the undetected parts of the return capsule shell. Looking at the burn marks on it, Wu Hao said, "How did our new thermal insulation coating perform this time?"
?”
Very ideal. Yu Chengwu said with a smile on his face: "Look, these are the burning marks of the new paint. The burning is very even, and the protection of the shell armor is very good. Even when breaking obstacles at high speed, it can still
Control the temperature inside the enclosure within the socially acceptable temperature range.”
With that said, Yu Chengwu asked someone to operate the computer, and then some comparison photos were displayed on the large screen hanging in the hall.
Please see, this is the appearance of our protective shell armor coated with new heat-insulating coating, and this one is our ordinary alloy shell armor without new heat-insulating material.
Judging from the burning, this piece of protective shell armor coated with a new type of heat-insulating coating is still in good condition and has not been eroded much by high temperatures. There has not been much change in structure or appearance.
As for this piece of protective shell armor that has not been coated with new insulation materials, please see that after high-temperature friction, melting and deformation have occurred. The comparison can be said to be very obvious.
While Yu Chengwu was talking, several sets of detailed comparison photos were also displayed on the big screen, which was indeed very obvious.
Wu Hao showed a satisfied expression when he saw this, and then said: "It is still necessary to test it a few more times to fully verify the reliability of this technology before it can be used with confidence.
You know, what we want to build is a manned spacecraft, and we need to send people up safely, and even more importantly, we need to send people down safely. It is a matter of life safety, and there is no room for carelessness."
Understand that we will not use it on our manned spacecraft before fully verifying its reliability and safety. Yu Chengwu nodded and said solemnly.
How is the preparation of the Walker 2 unmanned experimental spacecraft and whether it can catch up with the launch window? Wu Hao couldn't help but be concerned again. Time is indeed very tight, so Wu Hao can't help but feel a little worried.
Hearing his words, Guo Yulong nodded and said: "From the current point of view, there is no big problem, and all aspects are making orderly progress. If there are no unexpected situations, there will be no problem in catching up with the launch window.
"
In other words, if something goes wrong, the launch window may be missed. Wu Hao heard a different meaning from Guo Yulong's words.
After hearing his words, several people were silent. In the end, Yu Chengwu nodded and replied: "The time is really tight at the moment. We are already going all out to ensure that the entire project can be carried out stably and orderly, and will not delay the arrival of the project in late July.
Early August launch window."
Regarding Yu Chengwu's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but frowned, glanced at the serious-looking people, thought for a moment, and then said: "The launch window from late July to early August must not be missed. Once we miss it, we will
We may have to continue queuing and postpone it until winter.”
Everyone couldn't help but nodded in agreement after hearing this. The Northwest Space Launch Center has a very intensive launch mission, especially the manned space launch mission, so the launch window task is very tight. If it is missed, it will have to be postponed.
A series of other planned launch projects cannot be rescheduled because of your delay, so if you miss it, you miss it. If the project is delayed, the impact on them will definitely be huge.
So thinking of this, Wu Hao couldn't help but look at everyone and continued: "We must leave some time before the stipulated deadline, and then conduct additional technical verification and overall investigation to ensure that the entire project is foolproof.
This will definitely squeeze your preparation time, but it is necessary.
So I think this is it, you can transfer some project personnel from other project teams as appropriate to temporarily participate in this project.
What we have to do now is to ensure the smooth launch of HaoWangzhe-2 on time."
But in this way, the transfer of researchers from other projects will inevitably affect the progress of a series of other projects. Zhou Xiangming couldn't help but worry.
Wu Hao waved his hand after hearing this: "You have to focus on something. This project is very important. If we weigh the pros and cons, we can only sacrifice other projects to gain time for this project.
In addition, as long as it is well coordinated with other projects, transferring a few people will not affect other projects too much.
The most important thing is that other projects do not need to be launched at the Northwest Space Launch Center, do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing his words, Yu Chengwu's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, compared to the Northwest Space Launch Center, the launch window times of other launch sites are much more coordinated.
And if the coordination is proper, the transfer of a few people will not have much impact on the operation of these projects. I think it can be done."
Hearing his words, Guo Yulong nodded and responded: "If we can add more manpower, it can buy us a lot of time. But in this case, the chief engineers of other projects will have opinions on me."
Haha, if they have any objections, let them come to me. Wu Hao waved and smiled: "What we have to do now is to ensure the normal progress of our manned spaceflight project. This is the cornerstone of our space exploration project."
