Vol 2 Chapter 1405: To send the monkey to the sky

  Chapter 1406 I want to send the monkey to the sky

  Wu Hao nodded when he heard the words. After all, this is the first unmanned experimental spacecraft. For them, the most important thing is to achieve successful launch, successful flight, successful return, and successful landing. These are the most basic and important core technologies. In addition, there are also the life support and life support systems of the spacecraft, which are also very important.

  Compared with the second, some other test items are not so important, or the priority is lower. After all, you have to eat a little bit of rice, and you can’t eat it all at once, which is unrealistic.

  Okay, let's end it. Wu Hao nodded and motioned.

Yes! Under Wu Hao's instructions, the previous pictures were restored on the big screen.

  Wait until it returned to normal, Wu Hao said to Zhou Xiangming: “After the return module of our Zerner-1 unmanned experimental spacecraft is separated and returned to the earth, this service module will also return to the atmosphere and burn it.”

Zhou Xiangming nodded and said: "That's it. After the return procedure is started, the direction engine on the service compartment will start to adjust the direction and angle, then start the main engine and enter the return track. After reaching a certain position, the return compartment will fall off. , And then return to the earth to land along the designed orbit.

As for the service module, it will rely on power to continue flying in space for a period of time, and then return to the atmosphere in the depths of the Southwest Pacific. More than 95% of the material will be slightly in the atmosphere, leaving only 5%. The residue may fall into the sea. It is not the main route, so it will not harm the passing ships and people. "

  After listening to Zhou Xiangming’s report, Wu Hao nodded, and then asked him: "Then what about the Xingzhe-2 unmanned experimental spacecraft, what are your plans?"

The   Xingzhe-2 unmanned experimental spacecraft is the backup of the Xingzhe-1 unmanned experimental spacecraft. Wu Hao's manned spaceflight project also designed a backup project in accordance with our national aerospace development thinking. Once the main project fails, the backup project can be lifted off in a short period of time.

  Before the launch, no one would believe that Wu Hao and their new rocket and spacecraft would be able to successfully launch the experiment in one go. You know that Musk is engaged in interstellar spacecraft, but he has set off fireworks many times.

  Even the members of the project team do not have much confidence, and many people are even ready to face failure. Unexpectedly, the first occurrence was unexpectedly smooth, which made everyone put half of their worries down, and the other half had to wait for the spacecraft's return cabin to return and land before it landed successfully.

  If it succeeds, what should the backup Xingzhe-2 unmanned experimental spacecraft do?

Hearing Wu Hao’s question, Zhou Xiangming answered him seriously: “In this regard, President Yu (Yu Chengwu) and President Guo Yulong and Guo have also communicated. Our opinion is still on the technology of this backup unmanned experimental spacecraft. Make improvements to continue launching and experimenting.

  In this way, the relevant development and preparation time can be shortened, and the second is naturally to save money to the greatest extent and apply it to subsequent experiments.

  If the return module of the Xingzher-1 unmanned experimental spacecraft lands safely, then we plan to launch the second unmanned experimental spacecraft from late July to early August.

  If there are no problems with this launch, we will conduct the third unmanned experimental spacecraft launch in winter, around the New Year. And on this unmanned experimental spacecraft, we will consider sending related experimental animals into space. "

  Animal?

  There is indeed such an experimental case in the history of aerospace development in various countries, that is, some experimental animals, such as orangutans, macaques, puppies, mice, etc., were sent into space before manned.

  But now that the testing technology is quite mature and advanced, is it necessary to conduct such controversial animal experiments? Once disclosed, I am afraid it will attract a lot of criticism.

  There is no way. There are too many ethical kidnappings. Everyone is a defender. Even large companies must be careful not to give this group of people some opportunities to use and speculate.

Perceiving the look on Wu Hao’s face, Zhou Xiangming immediately explained: “We will fly manned flights next year, so before that, we must ensure the reliability of the entire life support system and life support system. This depends on any instrument. Equipment testing has certain risks, so it is better to send life up and fly around, which is more reliable and safer.

  In fact, all manned spacecraft will have such a process before they are manned. This cannot be omitted.

  We have commissioned a certain biological experiment company of Shanghai to help us cultivate two medical experiment macaques. Introduce, we will pick one, then put it into a special "space suit", and then send it to space. "

  Wu Hao nodded when he heard the words. He didn't have the so-called XX heart, but he was worried. But since it can't be avoided, then he can't control those.

  And the fate of these two macaques is much better than that of other experimental macaques. The other experimental macaques will never escape death in the end. And these two macaques, if the experiment is successful, they will also take good care of them as heroes.

  If the experiment fails, then it is also great. It has dedicated its life to the cause of human spaceflight and can also write a mark in the history of spaceflight. Compared to those of its kind, at least it can be remembered by later generations.

  Now that we have come to this, Wu Hao couldn't help but looked at Zhou Xiangming and asked: "What do you think about our first manned mission to heaven."

   Hearing Wu Hao’s words, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Zhou Xiangming smiled and said: “Our company does not train professional astronauts. Ordinary people definitely can’t do it.

  For the first flight, it is certainly not possible to sell ferry tickets, and no one will take the risk to buy it.

  So my suggestion is to cooperate with the aerospace department to see if we can win the astronaut rotation program for the space station.

  Of course, for the first flight, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to win the astronaut’s transportation rotation project. But it is not impossible. I think we can fight for it. "

  Wu Hao nodded to Zhou Xiangming's one piece, but he did not say anything. Because this project is really difficult, it is certainly not easy to win.

  According to his previous communication with the leaders of the space department, there is no problem with docking with the space station and transporting materials and equipment to the space station, but it may be difficult to obtain the qualification for transportation as an astronaut.

  On the one hand, the aerospace department certainly does not trust their technology products, after all, this project is very risky. On the other hand, there are also aerospace technology companies competing there.

  So when Wu Hao thought of this, he couldn't help but get a headache. But just as Zhou Xiangming said, we still have to fight for it, otherwise how can we know that we will not succeed.
