"After completing the initial acceleration phase, the first-stage propulsion rocket began to separate, and then the second-stage propulsion system, that is, the main propulsion system Hall ion thruster began to work and continued to accelerate the deep space probe.
In addition, we are also equipped with two emergency chemical thrusters on the second half of the truss support rod. These two thrusters are used in emergencies, or when entering or leaving a large gravitational star. In this way,
It can also help this deep space probe to get close to some massive stars for detection.
On the truss support rods of this deep space probe, we are equipped with multiple auxiliary detection equipment, among which we have prepared ten small detection satellites for it.
Each of these small detection satellites weighs about 80 kilograms, and the total weight is less than one ton. They can be used for detection in places that our deep space detectors cannot reach, such as the orbits of some large planets.
, and also to detect some asteroids, dwarf planets, including some satellites of large planets, etc.
When the deep space probe reaches the corresponding target, it will release a small detection satellite. This small detection satellite will approach the target, and then continuously transmit the signal back to the deep space probe, and then from the deep space
The probe's large antenna beams back to Earth.
Of course, this small detection satellite can also rely on its own communication antenna to establish communication directly with the earth, but the efficiency is definitely not as good as the large antenna on the deep space probe.
Based on this function, we have developed another new communication method. The relay communication mode, that is, these small detection satellites are released one at a certain distance, and then transmit relevant data information through relay transmission.
In the future, deep space detectors will definitely go very far. How to solve the problem of long-distance communication is also a difficult problem. So we can use this relay communication method to get in touch with deep space detectors far away from the earth. And this
It can also greatly expand the detection range of this deep space probe and contribute to human understanding of the universe and exploration of the unknown."
Hearing the genius design introduced by Wu Hao, everyone present cheered. Such an idea and design are indeed very clever. It can be said that it has hollowed out all the features on this deep space probe.
technical potential.
This also makes everyone look forward to this deep space probe. If such a project can succeed, it will definitely be able to obtain very rich detection data for them, which will be of great help to them in studying the solar system, studying the universe, and studying other stars.
So after hearing this, everyone started talking, and some experts asked him eagerly: "Mr. Wu, have you developed your deep space probe? When do you plan to launch it?"
Seeing someone asking this question, the noise at the scene stopped immediately, and everyone looked at Wu Hao, waiting for his answer.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "This is just an internal design plan of ours, and the relevant technologies are still under pre-research. Everyone knows that such detection projects currently lack market economic benefits.
, so our internal project review committee could not pass it.
In addition, the investment in such a project is relatively large. Currently, we have too many projects underway, and we are already unable to expand other projects. For a deep space probe like this, we can only wait until we have the ability in the future and the conditions are mature.
Conducted.
Finally, there is the issue of related technologies. This deep space probe contains many new technologies, and we need to overcome them one by one.
In addition, such a large deep space probe must have a matching rocket to launch it and send it out of the earth. At present, the high-orbit transportation capability of our Jianmu-7 rocket is still insufficient, so even if this deep space probe
Even though the detector has been developed, it cannot be launched until our Jianmu-9 heavy-lift launch vehicle is successfully developed."
"Jianmu No. 9?" Everyone was confused.
"Haha, we are developing a strap-on heavy-duty launch vehicle. It is in the exhibition area over there. I will introduce it to you in a moment." Wu Hao replied with a smile.
Everyone glanced in the direction he indicated, and then focused their attention on the deep space probe model hanging in mid-air.
The meaning of Wu Hao's words is actually very clear, that is, he has no money. Naturally, everyone knows what Wu Hao's plan is to place it in this exhibition hall and introduce this deep space probe to everyone. What kind of attention can be paid to it?
It is said that Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone.
However, as a private enterprise, they are not surprised to have such a sense of market competition, let alone have any troops. Moreover, everyone is also full of interest in this deep space probe.
Even if Wu Hao didn't talk about it before, I'm afraid there will be experts who won't let go. This is Wu Hao's conspiracy. Everyone knows that this is his plan, but they are still willing to dig into it.
From a design and technical point of view, this deep space probe is definitely one of the best among all the deep space probe designs we have seen, and has impressed the hearts of countless experts.
It's like a boy sees a sports car, a man sees firearms, a woman sees cosmetics and clothes, and an old woman sees a beautiful woman in cool clothes.
For this group of experts, nothing is more attractive to them at the moment than this deep space probe.
Immediately, some experts anxiously asked Wu Hao: "How much does it cost to develop and launch this deep space probe? If the difference is not much, our scientific research institutes can make up the difference."
What I want is your words. Wu Hao felt happy, and then replied with a smile: "This deep space probe uses a series of new technologies, and the cost of one-time development is relatively high. How much development funding is required?
We don’t know yet, but our experts have given us a number. I’m afraid that the development of this deep space probe will cost at least one billion. How much more it will take is still uncertain.”
hiss……
After hearing this quotation, everyone at the scene couldn't help but take a breath. This is definitely a big number and a big project. You must know that the country's annual funding for the aerospace system is not much, and it has to be allocated to many institutions and research institutes.
So, used in many major projects.
For now, I'm afraid they can't support such a project. But this project is indeed very good, so it's a pity that it was abandoned like this.
While everyone was frowning and thinking, suddenly an expert said: "By the way, I remember that there are several deep space exploration projects in our aerospace system. Can we combine several projects together?"
