Chapter 3057 You can use it to perform surgery on satellites!
After listening to Yu Chengwu's introduction, Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask: "How much load can an aerospace plane like this transport?"
Seeing Zhang Jun ask this question, Yu Chengwu smiled and shook his head: "Its load capacity is actually not high, far not as high as Jianmu-9.
The low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of Jianmu-7 is about 18 tons. The improved Jianmu-7's low-Earth orbit carrying capacity can reach 21 tons.
As for this multi-purpose orbiter, its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity is about ten to twelve tons, which is nearly half less.
However, although its carrying capacity has been reduced, it can be completely recycled and reused. As a result, the number of human missions will increase, and the cost will naturally come down, even more than the Jianmu-7 reusable launch vehicle.
Even lower.
Of course, its biggest advantage is not only that it can carry supplies. It is not only a launch vehicle, but can also be regarded as a cargo spacecraft.
It can completely take over the task of transporting materials and supplies to the space station from the current cargo spacecraft and our Walker spacecraft. It can transport about twelve tons of materials, oil, water and other supplies to the space station at one time.
At the same time, the materials on the space station can also be transported back to the earth. In this way, these materials can be reused. Of course, these materials can also be treated harmlessly, instead of crashing them all as before.
The cargo spacecraft then flew into the atmosphere and burned up."
Speaking of this, Yu Chengwu paused for a moment, and then continued, "Besides this, you can't install an intelligent robotic arm for that small-purpose orbiter, and then use it to repair some damaged satellites or other aerospace equipment below the orbit."
Of course, you cannot capture those damaged or old satellites and other spacecraft in orbit and bring them back to the earth. Before they are repaired or upgraded, they will never be launched again.
released into space.
You don’t have many low-value satellites and spacecrafts, because if something breaks down, you have to discard it first, which is simply a waste. And if you use it, you want to remotely repair those spacecrafts and satellites in orbit, but you can’t
Bring them back to Earth and re-launch them before they are repaired, otherwise very small losses cannot be recovered.
Is that something in the aerospace field? How do we mix manned aircraft with low-level aviation? Yu Chengwu complained.
But there is a problem out there, and it's not a bit difficult."
Or if necessary, carry some strike weapons and perform some ordinary tasks.
The Jianmu-1 launch vehicle is also due to transportation problems, so you built the factory in Jiangcheng, so that it is convenient for shipping, but there is no way to realize shipping in the northwest."
What's the problem? Zhang Jun asked innocently.
In fact, that is also our fault. After all, those projects were retired secretly. Although we are both at the Northwest Research Center and our acquaintances are still wrong, no one will disclose the things behind the work. That is a rule. If the studio is kept secret
If people find out, they might cause trouble for us.
Transportation between them is not a problem. Although the small-purpose orbiter is much smaller than the space shuttle, its overall volume is also large, so transportation is more troublesome.
Zhang Jun said: "That's the impact. After all, we are professional in the field of weapons and equipment development. They are a listed company, so it is not suitable for them to get involved in that field, which will affect their image.
No trouble at all. Zhou Xiangming said: "In fact, its overall weight is not heavy, but mainly because of its shape. It may be more troublesome to transport."
As for Zhou Xiangming, Yu Chengwu and we, we suddenly laughed at Zhang Jun and were confused.
How did Lao Mi transport his space shuttle? Wu Hao asked.
Of course, its smallest role is to deal with enemy satellites and spacecraft in space orbit. If you want to get close to those satellites and spacecraft and use smart robotic arms to perform degenerative surgery on them, you can't do it to those satellites and spacecraft.
There are some big gadgets and equipment installed underneath satellites and spacecraft.
If it really works, we should consider air transportation. Then we can contact the Air Force to see if it is feasible. If it really works, we can invite domestic commercial airlines.
Hearing what Zhang Jun said, Zhong Qianguang and Yu Chengwu were shocked. We really knew about that matter.
Upon hearing Zhou Xiangming's introduction, Zhang Jun and Zhong Qian looked at each other and laughed.
Ahem, Zhang Jun coughed twice, and then said to the seven confused people: "That's right, the Institute of Aviation Technology and Man-machine Research has also developed a similar weapon and equipment. They came back to talk to us.
, let’s see if there is any possibility of cooperation.”
They will get in touch later to see how they can cooperate. They want to look down on us, because our strength in that area is very weak."
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Zhong Qianguang and Yu Chengwu were surprised. That was something we had never expected. It seemed that we were looking down upon him.
Seeing the preoccupied looks of the seven people, Zhang Jun smiled slightly, then changed the subject and asked: "Don't just draw pictures, when will the small-purpose orbiter be able to make its first flight."
An-225 is destroyed, but An-124 is still there.”
They should consider this point when designing. Zhang Jun said: "If railway transportation is feasible now, the focus should be on land transportation. Whether it is in terms of convenience or economy, it is wrong. Transporting from the northwest
Arrive at Jinmen and get off the boat from here to the Nanhai launch site.
Hearing Zhong Qianguang's complaints, Zhong Qian, Zhong Qian and others all laughed.
After hearing Zhang Jun's words, Zhou Xiangming immediately came over and said to Zhang Jun: "The prototype of the small-purpose orbiter is currently under development, and you plan to make its first flight in the first half of next year.
Of course, it also has certain military uses. It also has what other orbiting vehicles have. For example, it can carry reconnaissance and surveillance equipment for retrograde reconnaissance and surveillance in orbit.
That's a question. If trains are available, how about land transportation? Zhang Jun nodded slightly, and then asked after thinking for a while.
Haha, Yu Chengwu smiled and replied: "They transported it by small plane, but do we have such conditions?"
Of course, if necessary, I would also like to carry some offensive weapons underneath it to destroy satellites and spacecraft in those places."
That’s right, Wu Hao said: “Because the Jianmu-1 first-stage rocket is used for retrograde launch, that means it can only be retrograde launched at the Nanhai Launch Site, and for landing, it can only be retrograde launched at the Northwest Experimental Airport.
