Chapter 1,670 The Jianmu-7 retractable launch vehicle is revealed for the first time
Compared with the relevant data of this intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle, the mission it will perform this time is also particularly interesting.
Among these many missions, searching for lunar surface water and detecting the distribution of lunar mineral resources are what almost all human lunar probes want to do. However, compared to other probes, theirs this time
The intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle is particularly attractive.
The main reason is that because it travels relatively far, it will conduct direct detection through sampling, which is much more accurate than those long-distance telemetry technologies.
Among the many tasks, finding suitable lunar scientific research stations and lunar city construction sites is the most attracting attention.
Landing on the moon has always been a dream of mankind. Compared with Lao Mi’s feat 40 or 50 years ago, now, mankind is igniting the moon craze again.
Compared with the expensive moon trips forty or fifty years ago, which were just for taking photos and digging some soil and rocks, humans now hope and are more inclined to establish permanent human scientific research stations and permanent human settlements on the moon.
At present, various countries have established multiple such international organizations for lunar exploration, and everyone is actively busy. However, so far, no organization has put it into practice.
Regardless of whether you are building a lunar scientific research station or a permanent human settlement on the moon, before that, you must first select a site. Those places are not suitable for building a lunar scientific research station and permanent human settlements. These are all
It needs to be surveyed in advance. This is not just a matter of using satellites to detect it. It requires detectors or even astronauts to detect it in person.
This time, Wu Hao and his team's intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle performed exactly this task.
The outside world has several completely different interpretations of this detection mission. First of all, many netizens believe that Haoyu Technology’s intelligent lunar surface inspection vehicle must be the entire moon of our country.
A member of the exploration project will also be responsible for the preliminary preparation tasks for the site selection of our national lunar scientific research station.
Although it is not an official detector patrol vehicle, it is okay to also serve as an official mission. After all, our tradition is to spend the least money and do the greatest things. How could the aerospace department and experts miss such a rare opportunity.
As for the second interpretation, many netizens believe that this is a detection mission conducted by Haoyu Aerospace on its own, aiming to provide commercial lunar ground detection data for the country and even overseas countries, thereby obtaining high economic benefits.
This statement is not unreasonable. When Wu Hao and others announced their entry into the aerospace field, and announced the development and launch of their own commercial civilian intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle, they stated that this was a private commercial project. Since it is a private
For commercial projects, it is understandable to carry out such tasks and make profits from them.
As for the third interpretation, many people believe that this should be an important part of Wu Hao or Haoyu Technology's entire huge space exploration mission, the foundation and beginning. Wu Hao and others have entered the aerospace field in such a large scale, and
With such rapid development and such huge investment in such a short few years, it is certainly impossible to achieve such a small goal.
They definitely have a bigger plan. Wu Hao and others have also said in previous interviews that they will vigorously develop the aerospace industry. They have also mentioned the idea of establishing an international commercial scientific research station on the moon and a lunar city. I believe this will happen this time
What this intelligent lunar surface inspection and exploration vehicle is doing is preparation for the preliminary site selection and technical demonstration work for their lunar international commercial scientific research station and lunar city movement.
This interpretation is indeed a bit too amazing and unreasonable. But it is not impossible. After all, even Musk is planning to immigrate to Mars. It seems that Wu Hao wants to build an international commercial scientific research station or lunar city on the moon. It is not a big deal.
Bar.
For Wu Hao and others, they smiled and didn't care about these external interpretations. Let them guess, their attention is still focused on the 'vehicle-arrow combination' that is about to undergo vertical transfer.
In the morning, the Nanhai Space Launch Site was sunny and beautiful with blue sky and white clouds.
Under a red flag, the huge revolving door of the vertical assembly test site slowly opened, revealing the beautiful figure of Jianmu-7, the medium-sized retractable launch vehicle newly developed by Haoyu Technology.
This is a giant rocket with a diameter of 3.8 meters, a height of 59 meters, and a take-off mass of 450 tons. It can transport a load of about 18 tons to low-Earth orbit, and a geosynchronous transfer orbit of about 8 tons. It can carry seven tons
It can transport more than a ton of payload to the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. It can even transport a four-ton payload to the Mars transfer orbit.
Of course, compared to heavy-duty launch vehicles, the data of this rocket is relatively weak, but among international rockets of the same type, it is already very good. It can be said to be at the cutting-edge level, except for a few two or three countries.
In addition, it seems that there is no rocket in the world that can match its performance, not even Sanguo, which has been trying to be the best in Asia all day long, and the weird one who claims to be the best in the universe.
The main rocket is painted in white. Compared with the official paint, it looks simpler and more elegant. In addition to the LOGO of Haoyu Aerospace, there is also the LOGO of this lunar exploration mission. In addition, there are some cooperations.
The national flag of the country, but the pattern is relatively small.
On top of the main rocket, in addition to the intelligent lunar surface inspection vehicle wrapped in the upper fairing, there are naturally three recovery and landing folding legs on the lowest core stage. These three recovery and landing folding legs are currently in a folded state.
, close to the surface of the core first stage rocket, and the exterior is painted black.
When the first stage of the rocket core completes its mission and separates, the return procedure will be started. Compared with the parachute plus reverse thrust landing method used by Jianmu-2 and the Jianmu-5 rocket, which is an improved and upgraded version of Jianmu-2, this
For once, Jianmu-7 will fully adopt the rocket reverse thrust landing technology used by Falcon rockets.
This also means that Haoyu Technology has finally mastered a reliable rocket engine with excellent performance and long working time. This also means that the first stage of the Jianmu-7 rocket core will abandon the previous parachute design, which will also provide
They save hundreds of kilograms of payload weight. This weight will also be converted into fuel and payload weight, thereby increasing the overall economy of the rocket and reducing launch costs.
This time, the core-stage rocket will also change its previous land landing site and use a sea landing site for the first time. Compared with land landing sites, sea landing sites are more difficult to land and have higher uncertainties.
, so the technical requirements are more stringent, which is also a greater test for the rocket technology team.
