In the future, if our flying-wing reusable launch vehicle technology is successfully developed, after solving the problem of cost control, this flying-wing reusable rocket technology will also be applied to the second stage of the Jianmu-9 rocket. stage rocket. In this way, except for the "upper stage" in the fairing that cannot be recycled, the entire Jianmu-9 carrier rocket can be recycled and reused, so that the transportation cost can be greatly reduced. "

Hearing his words, the discussion at the scene suddenly became louder. A leader next to him immediately asked, "What is the carrying capacity of this Jianmu-9 rocket?"

This problem naturally attracted the attention of other people present. I am afraid that such a large rocket has a lot of thrust.

Wu Hao replied with a smile: "The low-earth orbit carrying capacity of this Jianmu-9 carrier rocket is 42 tons, the geosynchronous transfer orbit can reach 20 tons, and the ground-fire (Mars) transfer orbit can carry about 8 tons."

hiss…

Hearing his familiar introduction, some people at the scene couldn't help but gasped. They were really taken aback by such a powerful carrying capacity.

From this point of view, this Jianmu-9 carrier rocket is twice the size of our Chang-5, and it is almost the same as our 921 rocket. Some experts exclaimed.

Qin Xinghe said to Wu Hao: "The low-earth orbit can reach 40 tons. This carrying capacity is considered outstanding among all commercial launch vehicles. It can be used for most of your space launch missions, including your commercial launch vehicles." Space station construction mission."

He didn't show a surprised expression, because he had already seen the relevant information about this rocket in the report, and he was shocked at that time, but it is naturally much better now.

Wu Hao nodded and replied: "Yes, in the future, several payloads in this commercial space station will need it for transportation. In addition, some of our other important tasks will also need its participation."

Um? Hearing the second half of Wu Hao's words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.

A bald expert in the crowd nodded and said: "Indeed, the 20-ton Earth-Moon transfer orbit is enough for your lunar scientific research station construction tasks."

More than that, with the eight-ton ground-to-fire transfer orbit delivery capacity, I'm afraid you are also planning to prepare for the exploration of Mars. Another fat expert next to him talked.

For these experts' words, Wu Hao just smiled and did not answer. However, his reaction was also understood by everyone as a tacit consent, which also made many people at the scene feel emotional. I have long thought that Wu Hao and the others are very ambitious, but I did not expect to underestimate them.

When are you planning to make the first flight of this rocket? The old white-haired expert in the crowd asked.

Wu Hao replied with a smile: "I am afraid that we will have to wait until the end of next year and the year after next year at the earliest. Our main mission next year will be the manned spaceflight mission. Moreover, the carrying capacity of our current Jianmu-7 rocket is not bad, and it can also meet Our series of launch missions."

Hearing his words, everyone was still very surprised. After all, it usually takes five to ten years for a large rocket like this to produce results. I didn't expect Wu Hao and the others to do it so fast. Could it be that this is a commercial company? With such a high efficiency, is it really all due to overtime work, as rumored by the outside world?

After visiting the launch vehicle model exhibition area, basically all the furnishings in the hall have also been visited. But in the end, everyone's eyes stopped on a model of an aerospace vehicle displayed in a very remote corner of a booth.

The entire model is only 20 centimeters long. Under so many large objects, it looks very small and is easily overlooked. But the hall is full of aerospace system experts, even if it is an inconspicuous thing, as long as it is eye-catching, it will definitely attract the attention of these experts.

The aerospace vehicle that these professional eyes are focusing on is a bit like a space shuttle, but not entirely. It is more like an airplane fused with a rocket, but it doesn't look like an airplane.

It has two wings, and a pair of empennage and vertical tail at the tail. The entire fuselage is slender, and there are carved windows on the nose. It can be seen that this aerospace vehicle can take people.

This is a good thing, Xiao Wu, since you have shown it here, you should not be afraid to let us see it. Zou Huanyi smiled and joked at him.

The experts next to him laughed, and Qin Xinghe said, "What's the matter, tell us about it, I didn't know you had such a project hidden."

Obviously, the experts and leaders present are full of interest in this aerospace vehicle.

Facing the expectant eyes of the crowd, Wu Hao deserved to bite the bullet, took out the model of the ship on the platform, and then introduced it to everyone while showing it with a smile.

"This is an aerospace vehicle developed by us. It is a bit like the space orbiters currently developed by various countries, and its basic structure is similar.

The only difference is that our aerospace vehicle is large in size, and it can carry people inside. In addition to the two pilots and co-pilots in the cockpit, it can also carry ten to fourteen members inside.

Like the orbiter, it is also launched into space by rocket, and after UU Reading www.uukanshu.com performs the mission in orbit, it glides back to the ground. "

Like the space shuttle? The bald expert asked him.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile, then erected the aerospace vehicle and said to everyone: "No, it is different from the space shuttle, it is smaller and slender than the space shuttle.

The way it launches is not to rely on external fuel tanks and boosters to take off, but to install a first-stage rocket and a booster rocket at its tail.

To put it bluntly, it is to install the first-stage rocket and multiple boosters of the Jianmu-9 heavy rocket at its tail to launch it into the sky. After reaching the predetermined altitude, the booster and the first-stage rocket were shut down and disengaged, and the aerospace vehicle began to ignite autonomously and continue to rise, and finally entered space.

In fact, everyone can understand it this way, that is, we have integrated the secondary rocket of the launch vehicle, the flying-wing multiplexing design structure and the manned spacecraft to form an aerospace vehicle. "

After hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone finally understood, and then carefully looked at the model of the aerospace vehicle in its hand.

Very good idea. Zou Huanyi praised, and then said with a smile: "At present, all countries are developing orbital vehicles, and there are already very successful representatives, such as the famous X47B of Lao Mi.

Although many people have thought about using this kind of orbiter for manned flight, but no one has put it into practice. It seems that the only thing similar to yours is Musk's starship.

However, compared with its interstellar spacecraft, I think aerospace pilots like you are more suitable for commercial use. "

Hearing Zou Huanyi's praise, everyone at the scene nodded their heads one after another. It is obvious that Musk's interstellar spaceship strides are too big, and Wu Hao's way of trotting step by step is more suitable for development.
