Chapter 1608

"Waiting for the breakthrough of the Rocket Branch project? Everyone is waiting, but won't we do the work that can be done well? As long as we design enough plans, even if there are changes in the end, we will be able to rely on the current situation According to the situation, choose an excellent and suitable launch plan according to local conditions.

There is no need to be lazy. Scientific exploration requires us to make sufficient accumulation. "

Li Jian, one of the chief engineers of Jiuzhou Science and Technology's aerospace project, clicked on this engineer.

Although the other party is still his disciple from the perspective of being a master.

But in the field of scientific research, there is no such thing as kinship between generations. In the field of scientific research, the capable ones always go up and the mediocre ones go down. If you think about being lazy in everything, even if you have some achievements, you will easily fall short in the end.

And with not only the company's colleagues and executives present, but also the founder, Li Jian will naturally take the initiative to beat his juniors more actively.

In a sense, this is also to protect this junior. After all, as the elder, he has been beaten, and it is difficult for others to intervene and say something.

Although the scientific research environment within the company is very good, Li Jian was already aware of this when he worked at Daxia Aerospace Group.

It's just that Gu Qing really didn't care about these trivial things. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't expose the existence of Xuanwu to these researchers, he wanted to tell these researchers that there would be absolutely no problem with their identity if they could enter this room. .

In Jiuzhou Technology, as long as there are no problems with identity and work, Gu Qing will not kick them out.

Regarding the various orbital designs of the moon landing plan, after hearing the discussions among these engineers, Gu Qing chose to reveal a little bit about the direction that the rocket branch was optimizing.

He clicked on several lunar landing plan designs to attract the attention of others, and then said: "Look at this plan, during the low-Earth orbit rendezvous, the assembly of the lunar landing vehicle will be completed by docking, and the launch vehicle will be used to separate the manned vehicles. Each part of the lunar landing vehicle was sent into low-Earth orbit. After completing the rendezvous and assembly in the low-Earth orbit, it was ignited and accelerated into a lunar orbit. After reaching the vicinity of the moon, it decelerated and entered a lunar orbit. The manned spacecraft separated from the lunar landing spacecraft.

When the manned lunar landing spacecraft descends to the lunar surface, after the work is completed, the lunar landing spacecraft ascends from the lunar surface and enters the lunar orbit, docks with the manned spacecraft in the lunar orbit, the astronauts enter the manned spacecraft, and the spacecraft relies on its own propulsion module Power returns to Blue Star.

As for the flight mode in which the lunar landing vehicle needs to pass through low-Earth orbit and circumlunar orbit at the same time, and then perform the lunar landing mission after completing assembly, you all find this process model complicated. In the actual advancement process, it will only become more complicated and troublesome.

As Luo Song just mentioned, if the process is too complex and equipment and instruments are involved in too much work, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the failure rate.

Speaking of which, do you still remember the moon-chasing starship we originally envisioned? "

Hearing Gu Qing mention the Moon Chasing Starship, Li Jian and others' eyes lit up.

When we originally designed the Moon Chasing Starship, we thought that it would be too cumbersome to use rockets to go back and forth from Blue Star to the moon again and again. Moreover, the aircraft would have to enter and exit the atmosphere every time, and would experience severe friction in the atmosphere, which would damage the shield shell. So we thought about research and development. Create a shuttle-like spacecraft that travels between low-Earth orbit and lunar orbit.

Used for high-frequency, repeated moon landings.

But assumptions are assumptions. When conducting actual research and development and manufacturing, everyone found that their ideas were still too simple.

Even with the strong support of the Titan Star Department, some equipment provided by the Special Equipment R\u0026D Center, and even some extraordinary design information provided by the Daxia Aerospace Group, the Moon-Chasing Starship has never been tested in the spiritual realm ecology. Chamber Server has more than five successful cases in low-Earth orbit and the moon and back.

After nearly 10,000 virtual tests, the best result was the completion of four round trips. In the end, the spacecraft malfunctioned due to issues related to power and energy.

The interactive docking of spacecraft in orbit is a relatively common thing in today's Blue Star aerospace field.

However, after analyzing, evaluating and inspecting the Moon Starship from many aspects such as design requirements, technical status, design characteristics, product process control, product acceptance, single point failure links, software quality, residual risks, etc., the final result is , the Moon Starship project cannot be implemented at this stage.

That’s why so many elite engineers gather today to discuss launch plans and moon landing plans.

Li Jian thought for a moment and said: "Actually, I was very optimistic about the Moon-Chasing Starship project. That was before our space station was launched into orbit. As long as we can launch the Moon-Chasing Starship into low-Earth orbit, even if there is no With the help of the space station and without the docking of other cargo spacecraft, the Moon Starship can also rely on the energy and fuel it carries to cause a change in the direction of power output, leaving low-Earth orbit and flying to the lunar orbit.

But in doing so, we cannot provide the energy consumption for such a huge starship to travel back and forth, unless we can make a breakthrough in energy projects. "

The Moon Starship is not a new energy vehicle, and its mileage cannot be increased by increasing battery energy density or increasing the voltage of the battery plate. Every gram of payload of the Moon Chasing Starship has its trade-offs.

An engineer who resigned from Daxia Aerospace Group and finally signed many agreements before entering the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Aerospace Department also said at this time: "The No. 5 project in the past few years was to launch on the Blue Star and enter first." Blue Star circular orbit', after three times of acceleration at perigee, it enters the Blue Star large elliptical orbit. Finally, it accelerates again before entering the moon's gravitational zone, then decelerates into the moon's large elliptical orbit, and waits until it decelerates into the moon's circular orbit. When in orbit, only the orbital module and the lunar module were left in the spacecraft, and the orbital module kept flying in the moon's circular orbit, and it was the lunar module that landed on the lunar surface.

After the lunar rover completes its mission, the lunar module takes off from the lunar surface and enters the lunar circular orbit. After successfully docking with the orbital module in the lunar circular orbit, it can then begin its journey back to the Blue Star.

The idea of ​​the Moon Chasing Starship is very convenient, treating the distance between planets as a bus stop, but there is no comparison at all between the distance the bus travels and the gravity and journey that the Moon Chasing Starship needs to overcome. "

"Well, if we can develop nuclear fusion technology, maybe there will be new changes."

"Nuclear fusion? Daxia officials have only opened one door."
