Vol 2 Chapter 1704: Cargo spacecraft mission approved

Wu Hao’s worries are unreasonable. Even on the earth, the technical ability of human beings in high-cold frozen soil needs to be improved. There are even many technical problems that have not been solved, let alone this is on the moon, the deep moon. What is the condition of the loam permafrost is still unclear, let alone used.

　　 Of course, what Zhang Qutong said is correct. If it is not at this stage, it does not mean that it will not work in the future. Besides, this is only detection, and it is far from the future application stage.

　　 In the next twenty-four hours, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover began to sample and analyze the entire crater and the lunar soil around the crater.

　　 The results show that the oxygen content of the lunar soil in the crater is much higher than the area near the crater. One of the findings of this inspection is that they also detected the cost of oxygen in the lunar soil in the gas sea basin outside the crater, but it was relatively rare.

　　 The results of nutrients are already exciting. On the one hand, it verifies the results of previous studies in this area. The lunar soil does contain oxygen. On the other hand, this can also be said to find a direction for the oxygen collection in these lunar soils in the future.

　　 In the future, the oxygen collection in the lunar soil will definitely not be the mining of a single element or a single mineral, but a comprehensive mining.

　　 You must know that these lunar soils not only contain oxygen, but also other mineral elements, such as ilmenite, copper, rare earth elements, as well as the abundant reserves on the moon, which is also the dream of mankind, and so on.

　　 It is worth mentioning that the extraction method of helium-3 is actually similar to that of oxygen. Helium-3 itself is also a gas, which can be extracted by heating the lunar soil. Therefore, in the process of mining and extracting these minerals, these resources will naturally be extracted, or the resources in the lunar soil will be fully utilized.

After completing the mission to detect this crater, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover continued its journey. According to the plan, this time it will maneuver for 80 kilometers, located in the gas sea crater. A moon creek was probed.

　　 The so-called moon creek is by no means a real lunar creek, but a dark and slender crevice on the lunar surface similar to the terrain of a stream on the earth. It is usually used to describe any narrow, river-like groove on the lunar surface.

　　The short ones are several kilometers wide, and the long ones are hundreds of kilometers long. According to the nature of the Moon Creek, scientists divided it into three types, namely, the meandering Moon Creek, the Bow-shaped Moon Creek, the Irregular Moon Creek, and the Straight Moon Creek.

　　 Moon Creek is of great significance for the earth people to study the development history of the Moon, so this time the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover will explore an irregular Moon Creek. The Moon Creek is about seven or eight kilometers long, showing irregularly shaped sections. The Moon Creek varies in thickness and depth. According to surveys, the Moon Creek may be hundreds of meters deep, and there are also 10 or 20 shallow places. Meter.

　　 This time, Zhang Qu and the others hope to understand the reason for the formation of this irregular moon creek through close-range detection, and thereby understand the geological activities before the moon. In addition, Zhang Qutong and the others are also looking forward to finding the surface ice layer from the bottom of this month's valley to find water.

　　For this exploration mission, the outside world is also very concerned. You must know that this is the first time for the detection of Moon Creek. So everyone is looking forward to discovering something this time.

　　Wu Hao is naturally very concerned about such detection missions, but he cannot stay at the Xinyue Fox Space Command and Control Center all the time, or he dare not only care about this thing all the time. This is obviously unrealistic.

　　 He still has a lot of work to do, such as aerospace matters. Although Haoyu Aerospace subsidiary was responsible for most of the period, Wu Hao had to personally participate in the decision when it came to some important matters.

　　 With the successful launch of their Jianmu-7 retractable medium-sized launch vehicle, it also allowed them to determine their leading position in the field of commercial launch vehicles. In addition, this time the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover successfully landed on the moon, which further demonstrates the strength of Haoyu Technology in the field of aerospace technology.

　　 Especially the excellent performance of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover on the moon has also attracted attention from all aspects.

　　 is also under so much attention, another good news came. Before they discussed with the space authorities, their third unmanned experimental spacecraft to the space station to carry out the docking experiment project finally obtained official approval.

This time, they have an unmanned experimental spacecraft that will take on the task of a cargo spacecraft, delivering some oxygen and food and water supplies to the space station. In addition, they will also transport some instruments and equipment to the space station. The total weight of the cargo will reach four. Tonnage, a little lower than the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft. In addition, this time, their unmanned experimental spacecraft Walker will also transport some things back from the space station. Including two sets of extravehicular space suits to be eliminated by astronauts.

　　 The use of this kind of extravehicular space suit is limited in the number of times and time. It is used once less than once. After reaching the end of the service life, it will generally be replaced and eliminated during the safety period.

　　 The obsolete extravehicular spacesuits will be loaded into the cargo spacecraft ~www.readwn.com~ and burned when the cargo spacecraft returns to the atmosphere.

　　 This time, their unmanned experimental spacecraft Walker will be transported back from the space station with two extravehicular space suits that will be eliminated and destroyed.

　　 Why did they bring it back? The main reason is that the unmanned experimental spacecraft Walker that they are about to launch has space on it and it will return to the earth. Therefore, the scientific research experts can just think about what can be brought back to the earth by the way.

　　Because it is in the experimental stage, the personnel must not be able to ride, so they can only put supplies. It just so happens that there are two sets of extravehicular space suits that are due to be eliminated. Instead of loading them into a cargo spacecraft and burning them in the atmosphere, it is better to take them back with a ride.

　　 In this way, waste can be avoided. After all, these two extravehicular spacesuits are very valuable. Although they have reached the end of their service life, it is a pity that they burned down like this. It's better to bring it back and make a national defense research and education exhibit. This is also better.

　　 You know, several museums want to collect this extravehicular space suit, but there is nothing. What's more, this kind of extravehicular spacesuit that has really been in space and has expired is more precious and more meaningful.

　　 Secondly, these two extravehicular space suits have been used on the space station more than a dozen times and have expired. If it can be transported back and then researched, this will greatly promote the improvement and upgrading of extravehicular spacesuits in the future.

　　 is also based on so many considerations, that's why these two extravehicular space suits were stuffed into their spacecraft to take a ride back to the earth.
