As for why a modular design is adopted, it is mainly to facilitate on-orbit maintenance. If the original precision integrated design is adopted, the difficulty of on-orbit maintenance will be greatly increased, and damaged parts will be difficult to replace. But if a modular design is adopted, then
This problem can be solved by replacing it where it is broken.
Now that Qin Xinghe was telling him this matter, it was obviously impossible to just mention it casually. So Wu Hao, who knew what he was talking about, immediately started asking.
"What, Bureau Qin, does the Bureau have any ideas or plans in this regard?"
Seeing Wu Hao asking, Qin Xinghe looked at him, paused, and then laughed. However, he did not avoid the question raised by Wu Hao, but smiled and admitted generously: "Yes, we are concerned about this."
This technology is very promising. We believe that this technology has very broad development prospects and will definitely have great potential in the future aerospace field.
You know, with the development of aerospace technology in various countries around the world, there are more and more satellites in space orbit. In addition to some of the previously eliminated ones, it can now be said that the entire earth orbit is basically covered and surrounded by these satellites and garbage.
, there are fewer and fewer valuable tracks.
It can be said that the value of good satellite orbits now exceeds that of the satellite itself, and it is a very scarce and precious resource.
The significance of this technology is that it can help us repair important satellites in orbit and extend their working life.
In addition, we can also use this technology to remove obsolete satellites and satellite debris in high-value orbits to free up valuable positions for new satellites.
You should be familiar with Musk’s Starlink plan.”
Speaking of this, Qin Xinghe looked at Wu Hao.
Wu Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then nodded. In the eyes of people in Qin Xinghe's aerospace management department and even the industry, Wu Hao and the others were imitating and replicating the development route of Musk's SPX company, which is why Qin Xinghe behaved like this.
explain.
Wu Hao didn't bother to explain this, so he nodded to acknowledge Qin Xinghe's statement. Besides, as long as you pay a little attention to the field of aerospace technology, even the global cutting-edge technology trends, who has not heard of the Starlink project. This was once considered absurd, but it
Most of the huge project has been completed.
Seeing him nod, Qin Xinghe continued: "This foreigner is very clever. In recent years, he has basically occupied most of the low-altitude orbits with this Starlink project, and many of them are valuable orbits.
Now it is impossible for others to launch and use these orbits, unless they purchase these orbits from the other party. I think the Starlink plan and the global wireless network are fake, and occupying these orbital resources and selling orbital resources are real.
Otherwise, NASA and the US military would still strongly support this project, which obviously has ulterior motives."
Hearing Qin Xinghe's words, Wu Hao also laughed. Indeed, more and more people have now clearly seen Musk's calculations, including those of NASA and the military. This is an excuse to build a global communication network project to occupy
A shameless strategic plan for global low-altitude orbit resources.
You must know that the other party occupies these low-Earth orbits not just to stock up and sell goods, but also for other purposes and calculations. The control of these orbital resources in their hands means that other countries want to launch satellites to such places.
In addition to paying a large sum of money, it also depends on the other party's face and situation.
It can even be used as an excuse to suppress and restrict the development of aerospace technology in some countries. This is the real purpose of NASA and the US military to support this seemingly money-losing project so strongly.
Seeing that he understood the meaning of his words, Qin Xinghe immediately said: "So, we must actively deal with the situation.
In recent years, we have also been actively developing similar projects, such as our Hongyan project, etc. In addition, we must also actively look for ways to defeat the enemy.
The space orbit does not belong to them alone, but is shared by all mankind, so we must resolutely say no to such hooliganism."
Hearing Qin Xinghe's words, Wu Hao laughed and said to himself, "You went to the meeting and said you were actively developing such a project. Now you criticize again, what does this mean?"
Of course, this is just Wu Hao's inner activity, and Qin Xinghe cannot feel it.
"And your small satellite in-orbit satellite (spacecraft) maintenance technology is a very good way to defeat the enemy.
If we master this technology, it also means that we have the technology to fight or even suppress the other party. Don't they want to occupy the orbit, but we won't let them do it. Their junk satellites don't want to be cleaned up, so let's pay for it ourselves.
They clean it up. But one thing is, once it is cleaned up, these tracks belong to us.
Currently, there are thousands of malfunctioning and scrapped satellites floating in various orbits of the earth, and they are still orbiting. If they just rely on the gravity of the earth to clean themselves, it may take hundreds of years. These satellites occupy
Some very valuable tracks.
So if we can master this technology, we can take action against these scrapped and faulty satellites. The commercial and economic value of these orbits alone is a very considerable number, not to mention the strategic military value of these orbits.
is immeasurable.
Once a conflict occurs or enters war, this technology can play a very important strategic value. We can promptly repair satellites and spacecraft that have been damaged by the enemy's use of high-energy laser weapons or directed energy weapons, or we can quietly repair them.
Get close to enemy satellites and spacecraft, capture and destroy them, and steal important information."
At this point, Qin Xinghe changed his tone and said: "A few days ago, when I was discussing with military experts, I came up with a brand new idea. Can we use this technology to build a space strategic interception system in space?
.
We know that some strategic missiles are ballistic missiles. After being launched, they need to fly to a fairly high orbit and then fall down to attack the intended target.
This altitude is generally hundreds of kilometers. If we deploy some of these small maintenance satellites in orbit at this altitude, we can completely intercept enemy ballistic missiles in orbit by taking advantage of the super maneuverability of small satellites.
It has the advantages of high reliability and ultra-low cost to intercept incoming enemy ballistic missiles.
This interception can be a hard interception or a soft interception."
Hearing Qin Xinghe's words, Wu Hao instantly understood the role of the space strategic interception system in Qin Xinghe's mouth, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Sure enough, with his specialization in the art industry, the other party could actually see it from this technology.
