In fact, the 330 cubic meters of space Xu Chuan mentioned is the cargo hold capacity of this space shuttle.
This does not include other use areas, such as the cockpit, power module, astronauts' living and activity module, etc.
You must know that its size is only smaller than the wingspan of the Boeing 747, and its fuselage itself is not much smaller.
The cargo hold capacity of the Boeing 747 passenger aircraft is as high as 670 cubic meters. In other words, in comparison, only half of the space of this space shuttle can be used to carry supplies, and the rest is occupied by various instruments and equipment.
But despite this, the supplies it can carry, especially when in outer space, are still amazing.
With a single replenishment, a large-scale activity base or small space station can even be established on the moon.
Compared with traditional launch vehicles and manned spaceflight, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new revolution in the aerospace field.
Among the crowd, Chief Yang Han from the Air Force Equipment Department was even more shocked and excited. While listening to Xu Chuan's introduction, he was taking deep breaths to control his emotions.
Regardless of other things, the infinite endurance of this space shuttle alone, whether in the atmosphere or above low-Earth orbit, is unparalleled by any turbojet aircraft.
And the huge and spacious space allows the space shuttle to cruise in low-Earth orbit forever in a form similar to a space station.
But there is no doubt that its maneuverability and sensitivity are also unmatched by the space station.
The space station is fixed in orbit and cannot escape, but this space shuttle is completely different. It can come down from low-Earth orbit at any time, enter the atmosphere and maintain the ability to move.
This alone is enough to form an unimaginable strategic deterrent to the outside world.
"By the way, speaking of which, do you have a name for your space shuttle? What is it called?"
In the factory, Yang Han suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the huge thing in front of him and asked curiously.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Of course."
"Its name is 'Xinghai'."
After a pause, he looked up at the huge space shuttle in front of him, and continued: "Although it has the same name as the institute, the sea of stars represents the dream of the institute and also represents my dream. Looking up at the sea of stars, it is the future!"
