Vol 6 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 reaches about ten to twelve tons, which is nearly half less.

However, although its carrying capacity is reduced, it can be fully recycled and reused. In this way, with more human missions, the cost will naturally come down, even lower than that of the Jianmu-7 reusable launch vehicle.

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 supplies to the space station from the current cargo spacecraft and our Walker spacecraft. It can transport about 12 tons of supplies, oil, water and other supplies to the space station at one time.

At the same time, materials on the space station can also be transported back to the earth. In this way, these materials can be reused, and of course, these materials can also be disposed of harmlessly, instead of crashing into the cargo spacecraft and then flying into the atmosphere and burning up as before. "

At this point, Yu Chengwu paused, and then continued, "In addition, we can also install an intelligent robotic arm for this multi-purpose orbiter, and then use it to repair some damaged satellites or other spacecraft in orbit. Of course, we can also capture these damaged or old satellites and other spacecraft in orbit and bring them back to Earth. After they are repaired or upgraded, they can be launched into space and released. .

We have many high-value satellites and spacecraft, and it is simply a waste that they have to be discarded because of a slight failure. By using it, we can remotely repair these spacecraft and satellites in orbit, or we can bring them back to Earth to repair and re-launch. In this way, we can recover a lot of losses.

Of course, its biggest role is to deal with enemy satellites and spacecraft in space orbit. We can get close to these satellites and spacecraft and use intelligent robotic arms to surgically destroy them. We can also give these satellites and spacecraft Install some gadgets, small equipment and so on on the device.

As for Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming, they were a little confused by Wu Hao's sudden laughter.

Ahem, Wu Hao coughed twice, and then said to the confused two people: "That's right, the Institute of Aviation Technology and UAV has also developed a similar weapon and equipment. You can go back and talk to them. , to see if there is any possibility of cooperation.”

Upon hearing Yu Chengwu's introduction, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun looked at each other and laughed.

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming couldn't help being shocked. This was something they had never thought of. It seemed that they looked down on him.

But there is a problem here, which is a bit tricky. "

This is a question. Trains are definitely not possible. How about land transport? Wu Hao nodded slightly, then asked after thinking for a while.

A bit troublesome. Yu Chengwu said: "In fact, its overall weight is not heavy, mainly because of its shape, which may be more troublesome to transport."

After hearing Wu Hao's words, Yu Chengwu immediately woke up, and then said to Wu Hao: "Currently, the prototype of this multi-purpose orbiter is in the process of development, and we plan to make its first flight in the second half of next year.

The Jianmu-7 launch vehicle was also built because of transportation problems, so we built the factory in Jiangcheng. This is convenient for shipping, but shipping is not possible in the northwest. "
