Having said this, Zhang Hanxiu clicked on a new simulation video, which is a visual display of the simulation video of the probes flying in and out of the disaster after the combination has a flight failure.

"Look, boss, after they leave the complex by themselves, they can fly to the destination and enter the orbit smoothly by relying on their own flying ability. After all, we have considered this, so each detector comes with its own The fuel is very abundant.

However, if this happens, the working hours of these detectors will be greatly affected. The detectors that can work for up to 10 years, after such a toss, may only work for 2-3 years. When the orbital change fuel is used up, it can only fall as the orbit continues to decrease.

At the same time, there will be a certain lag in the time for the probes to fly to their respective target planets, but in general, the problem is not big, and it will definitely be much faster than our relaunch of the probe, and it will not delay our solar system exploration plan. !

We can accept the time of only working for 2-3 years. After all, there is a buffer of time. Our follow-up detector reissue plan has enough time to adjust and redesign. In this case, even if the combined launch appears If the problem is solved, the launch cannot be considered a failure, it can only be said that it is not successful enough! "Zhang Hanxiu said with a smile.

After seeing the simulation screen, Lei Tiantang nodded his head with confidence to approve the design. Everything that should be considered was taken into account. If you worries about this and that, then, will you have to launch various detectors in the future? Take a conservative launch mode?

"Okay! Since you should think of everything, then follow this design!" Lei Tiantang smiled and nodded.

Seeing that my boss nodded his head and approved the design, both Zhang Hanxiu and the surrounding staff were relieved. After all, if such a traditional design is rejected, they will need to reuse the previous one. Launching these detectors in launch mode, then their workload will become very large.

It will also delay the entire solar system exploration program for a longer period of time, which will inevitably drag down the company's entire space program, which is why they have put forward this new design with great difficulty.

"By the way, in order to ensure that this design is reliable, we also designed two rounds of test launch missions to verify the reliability and advancement of this launch mode!" Zhang Hanxiu said and opened two new ones. projection.

"Look, boss, this is our relay satellite launch plan and the asteroid belt probe launch plan. We plan to use these two launch plans to practice hands!

The first plan to launch is a combination of relay satellites. Because this launch plan is to launch dedicated relay satellites with only high-speed signal reception and forwarding functions, these satellites are exactly the same, which means they can be mass-produced.

And because they have a single function, they are not big, and a single relay satellite weighs only 500 kilograms. With this weight, with the carrying capacity of our company’s rocket, 30 relay satellites can be launched at one time. To the earth's transfer orbit.

If it is not for the size of the satellite, there is no way to launch too many at a time, according to the actual carrying capacity of our company's rocket, we can even launch more than 100 at one time!

But even so, our planned test assembly is equipped with two large ion engines and a rocket booster, plus a 100-meter-diameter folding solar sail, and the core of the assembly-120 relay satellites. Together, these things will be launched 7 times and it will be OK!

After the successful launch of these 120 relay satellites, they will basically be able to meet the signal forwarding mission of our company’s solar system exploration plan for the next 10 years. This is very important for our subsequent launch missions and the work of the probe. Significance.

The satellite detectors of the asteroid belt exploration program are twice as heavy as the relay satellites, and the weight of an asteroid satellite detector is only one ton. After all, they need to have many times during the asteroid exploration mission. The orbit change operation is to avoid the collision of asteroids and space debris, and it is necessary to conduct detection missions on more than one asteroid.

In this case, the asteroid satellite probe needs to carry more orbital fuel, and because it is a detection mission, the satellite has more various components, so its weight will be twice as large as that of a relay satellite. .

In this case, the number of asteroid satellite detectors that we can carry for the first test combination launch mission can only be 60, but this is also in our plan.

After all, whether our asteroid satellite detector can adapt to the mission of the asteroid belt is also verified through this launch. 60 satellites are enough to cover all angles of the asteroid belt~lightnovelpub.net~ collected like this The data obtained is enough to provide data support for our next launch.

The two rounds of test launch plans will probably cost 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, but we think this money is worth what do you think, boss? "Zhang Hanxiu gave a detailed introduction to the two projected images.

"Very good! Your consideration is very comprehensive! The launch of so many satellite probes actually only cost 1.2 billion US dollars, which is not much for our company!" Lei Tiantang laughed loudly and affirmed the two test launch plans.

He did not feel that this 1.2 billion US dollar test mission is a lot of money. After all, even if such a test is not carried out, both the relay satellite launch plan and the asteroid belt satellite probe launch plan are all part of the company's space plan. Part of it is something that must be done. If it is launched separately, it will cost more money if it is troublesome and time-consuming.

"Hey, boss, you think that 1.2 billion US dollars is not much. Most companies in the world can earn 1.2 billion US dollars in net profit a year, but not many. Those companies cannot make a year. Money, our company'swish! Whow!' and it was thrown out in a few seconds. This is already a very wealthy thing, okay!" Fang Huiran couldn't help but vomit when he heard his boss say that.

"Haha! You can't say that! It's the right thing to burn money for space launches. If our 180 satellites are to be launched by other companies, 5 billion US dollars may not be able to get it. Didn't I feel that I was taking advantage of it in my heart?" Lei Tiantang joked with a smile.

"Boss, that's what you said! You made at least 4 billion dollars more!" Fang Huiran laughed.
