Hearing his introduction, Old Suha couldn't help asking: "Then, Mr. Wu, if we want to launch a satellite, how much is the price?"

In response to such a direct inquiry, Wu Hao began to froze for a moment, but then responded with a smile: "Depending on the height of the orbit, as well as the weight and volume of the satellite, the relevant prices are also different.

If you are launching tiny satellites weighing only tens of kilograms and in low-Earth orbit, then we can control the launch price of these satellites at around US$1,000 to US$1,500. "

"A thousand dollars?" Everyone was surprised.

This is a very low price, incredibly low.

Wu Hao nodded and said, "Of course, this is also required. We can't just use a rocket just to launch such a tiny satellite. This launch cost is too high.

Therefore, we have to use the one-shot multi-satellite launch method to send multiple satellites together. In this way, the price per kilogram evenly distributed to the respective satellites will be lower.

But if you need to launch a medium-sized and large-scale satellite with a weight of several hundred kilograms or even a few tons, and a special orbit is required, then the cost of launching will rise linearly.

Therefore, I cannot give you a very accurate quotation, which must be combined with your requirements to make an accurate estimate.

But because the cost of a single rocket is here, even for such a launch mission, the launch price will be much cheaper than the launch price of a normal rocket. "

Seeing everyone nodded, Wu Hao then introduced.

"In addition to the first-stage rocket that can be recycled and reused for this Jianmu-2 launch vehicle, we have also recycled and reused the rocket fairing. And we have used a technology that is different from the Falcon rocket fairing recovery technology. A more advanced and reliable recovery technology that uses helicopters for recovery in the air.

This kind of fairing recovery technology is lower than the cost of using tugboats for recovery of Falcon rockets. As a result, the cost of rocket launches will be further reduced.

In addition, we are studying the recovery technology of the rocket's secondary body and have also successfully conducted experiments. Once successful, it will further reduce the cost of the rocket, so as to provide customers with cheaper launch vehicle launch services. "

"This one here is the Jianmu-5 medium-sized launch vehicle that we are developing and will soon launch our first unmanned experimental spacecraft next spring.

The biggest feature of this rocket is that it uses our existing mature technology to bind the first-stage body of two Jianmu-2 rockets to one Jianmu-2 rocket to form a new kind of bundled carrier. rocket.

Its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity reaches fifteen tons, and the geosynchronous transfer orbit carrying capacity reaches eight tons, which also enables this rocket to undertake most of the launch missions of our related customers' spacecraft.

From low-Earth orbit, to high-orbit, from small satellites, to large spacecraft, and even spacecraft, they can be launched. And because it uses mature technology, it has very high reliability and is suitable for launching some important spacecraft.

Of course, its biggest feature is recycling and reuse. Its first-stage rocket and two boosters can be recovered, and when recovering, everyone can also see the spectacular sight of three first-stage rocket bodies landing at the same time. In addition, its fairing can also be recycled.

The Jianmu No. 7 single launch vehicle here will be the main force of our commercial launch vehicles in the future, and it will be the main force of our future commercial load launch missions. It will also be the main rocket for our commercial launch projects promoted by customers all over the world, and the main rocket for a series of space exploration projects in the future.

As for the Jianmu No. 9 heavy-duty bundled launch vehicle, its principle is the same as the Jianmu No. 5 rocket, and it is also a bundled, recyclable and reusable launch vehicle. It is a heavy-duty launch vehicle, which mainly undertakes some heavy-load launch missions. In addition, it will also undertake our exploration of Mars and other distant space exploration projects.

For example, we have an idea to use this Jianmu 9 launch vehicle to launch related spacecraft to the asteroid belt, capture the precious metal asteroids on the asteroid belt, and then drag it back to Earth for sale. "

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they showed interest in one after another.

And Wu Hao then smiled and said in a calm tone: "Of course, this is just our idea. It is still very difficult to capture these asteroids and bring them back."

Ha ha ha ha...

After hearing his words, everyone present laughed.

Indeed, this is a very whimsical idea. It can't be said that it can't be realized, but if you want to realize it~lightnovelpub.net~, there is still a long way to go. Whether it can be successful or not is still two to say.

Wu Hao didn't care about everyone's laughter. He smiled and walked to the model of the intelligent lunar patrol rover, looked at everyone and said.

"Now that the project is too far away, so what we have to do now is to do what we want to do now.

At present, what we are going to do is a commercial manned spaceflight project, and the other is this lunar exploration project. "

Wu Hao pointed to the intelligent lunar patrol rover model in front of him and introduced to everyone: "This is the isometric model of the intelligent lunar patrol rover independently developed by us. It will be the world’s first commercial lunar rover. Landing on the moon and conducting lunar exploration projects.

Unlike other official lunar exploration projects, our intelligent lunar patrol rover mainly undertakes two tasks.

First of all, the first one is to find suitable human landing sites and lunar scientific research stations and human settlements.

Make preliminary preparations for our next manned lunar landing and lunar tourism projects.

As for the second mission, it will carry out the lunar mineral exploration project. As you all know, the moon is rich in mineral resources, not only the clean energy resource helium III, which we all know, but also many other rich mineral resources.

The main purpose of this mission is to explore the distribution of these resources on the moon and prepare for the next mining mission. "

"Is the moon mining still a bit immature now, can it make money with the current technology cost?" Prince Maiha asked involuntarily.

Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Aerospace technology is constantly moving forward. With the continuous use of new technologies, future lunar mining will not be impossible.

And compared to the earth, moon mining has its unique advantages. "
