The fault reported by GISAT-5A caused a mess in the satellite center of X3.

GISAT-5A is so important.

This large-scale optical reconnaissance satellite was manufactured by a certain three-dimensional space research organization. It used expensive imported high-end optical equipment and electronic system equipment, costing a total of nearly 700 million US dollars.

In comparison, it is already quite expensive.

The cost of international high-end large-scale optical reconnaissance satellites is only between US$200 million and US$400 million.

GISAT-5A spent so much money and was independently developed by a three-dimensional space research organization, which also has a certain representative significance.

At the same time, GISAT-5A is also the most high-end reconnaissance satellite of a certain three armed forces, and it has strategic issues that are directly related to the military's reconnaissance capabilities.

Problems with GISAT-5A are not what they want to see. If they want to build another satellite with the same performance, it will not only cost a lot of money, but also need to wait for a long time.

Amid the panic among the satellite center staff, one leader asked angrily, "How did the satellite go wrong?"

Satellite center personnel reported, "There are two failures, one is a sudden orbit deviation."

"We did not turn on our own power system and did not make orbit adjustments, but GISAT-5A suddenly experienced an orbit deviation, and the declination angle was still very large..."

"The fault reported by the satellite is the big problem. The orbit deviation can be readjusted, but the solar panel is damaged, which may cause the satellite to lose control!"

"This kind of failure occurs very rarely, and there are only two known incidents in history. One was the Americen reconnaissance satellite, and the other was the former Eelian's geosynchronous orbit satellite."

"The failure of the Amerikan satellite was determined to be caused by a failure of the power system."

"Is there a quality problem with the satellites of the former E-Link, or was it 50 years ago..."

The staff at the satellite center explained.

Damage to solar panels is a rare failure, because the technical content of solar panels is very low, and all technology is reflected in material performance, so the possibility of failure is very small.

Conventional satellite faults are generally power supply faults, transmission system faults, orbit control faults and load system faults, all of which are linked to the electronic system and are all faults that can be self-checked and repaired.

If the solar panel is damaged, it is most likely to be physical damage, and self-inspection and repair cannot be carried out at all.

"Is it a quality problem?" someone asked speculatively.

The high-end weapons and equipment they independently develop often suffer from failures due to poor quality.

Even in the aerospace field with high technical precision, similar problems occasionally occur, but they are relatively rare compared to other fields.

Someone immediately denied, "It can't be a quality problem."

"This is not a separate failure report. The satellite has also experienced an orbital deviation. The two occurred at the same time."

"The solar panel is just malfunctioning, not falling off, and will not affect the satellite's orbit."

"We don't know the specific fault situation yet, we can only wait for the satellite to send back photos..."

Others can only continue to wait.

GISAT-5A is equipped with high-precision optical equipment. After adjusting the camera lens, it can capture damaged solar panels and send back high-definition photos.

However, GISAT-5A is not a communication satellite. The radar communication system is relatively poor. All digital information is transmitted back. To receive the information and convert it into photos, you need to wait for at least an hour.

soon.

American also knew the news, and they immediately realized that the situation was unusual.

"It's not a coincidence!"

"GISAT-5A malfunction occurred about 80 kilometers away from the light source engine."

"The orbital deviation and solar panel damage occurred at the same time. Our analysis believes that the chance of coincidence is very small."

"There is more than 90% possibility that it is related to some kind of space weapon technology of the flower growers, or to the light pressure engine itself."

This is what a quick analysis concluded.

In fact, there is no need to analyze it carefully at all. Just think about it and you will know that the situation is unusual.

The probability of satellite failure is very low. How come it suddenly fails when it is close to the edge of the space control area and closest to the light pressure engine?

"The question is, how do they do it?"

"We did not detect energy abnormalities, the light pressure engine did not emit laser weapons, and the satellite directly malfunctioned..."

"It still depends on the damage to the solar panels. We can analyze it based on the specific situation."

"How long will it take for Xiansan to analyze the photos?"

"About an hour."

A satellite center staff suddenly reported, "We found that the orbital deviation of GISAT-5A is very similar to the TSA-395 that crashed last time."

"Both satellites suddenly experienced orbital deviations, as if they were suddenly subjected to some special force."

This information further allowed Amerikan to determine that the malfunction of GISAT-5A was directly related to the flower grower's mysterious space weapon technology or light pressure engine.

Testing of the light pressure engine continues.

Zhao Dahe operated the engine to approach GISAT-5A, and after performing the gravity shield interference satellite mission, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said to the other two people, "We actually hit a satellite."

"Although it's not a direct blow, it's still a big impact."

"If I can tell this in the future, this matter will last a lifetime..."

"yes!"

The other two people were also very emotional. They had never thought that one day they would be able to use space weapons to attack a satellite with an altitude of more than 500 kilometers.

They discussed a few words together and continued to focus on their work.

The next task is to release the v191 satellite.

Satellite release is very important. Cooperation with the military is one aspect. Spaceship companies also hope to take advantage of the opportunity to announce to the world that they have the capability to launch and release very large satellites.

The satellite release process will also be broadcast live around the world.

The live broadcast of the light pressure engine space test continues. The engine has completed takeoff acceleration and has risen to an altitude of nearly 600 kilometers.

It sounds like it took a long time, but in fact, it only took a total of more than an hour, including preparation and take-off time, and it was only half an hour from liftoff to now.

The vast majority of people watching the live broadcast were not aware of the problems that occurred with GISAT-5A. They even said that they did not know that such a satellite existed at all.

They are just paying attention to the test of the light pressure engine and waiting for the upcoming satellite release.

After interfering with GISAT-5A, the light pressure engine did not return to its original orbit, but simply adjusted its direction slightly and continued to accelerate.

When the established speed and direction are reached, the work of releasing the satellite officially begins.

Live broadcast screen connection.

At this time, the picture has changed to a space perspective, and the live broadcast picture was taken by several high-definition cameras that come with the light pressure engine.

The viewing angles of several high-definition cameras can be continuously switched to provide a live broadcast with a clear viewing angle, which also surprises the audience watching the live broadcast.

Various countries have launched many satellites into space, but it is rare to see the satellite release process in space.

Generally, after a satellite is launched into space by a rocket, the satellite release, orbit control and operation process can only be understood through animation simulation.

It’s not that countries don’t want to display high-end space technology, nor is it because the satellite release process is unattractive, but because ordinary satellites do not have the ability to transmit data quickly.

To put it simply, the data transmission speed is seriously insufficient.

Even if the built-in camera has good performance, the data cannot be transmitted in time, so it will not be possible to watch live.

The light pressure engine is different.

The engine is equipped with first-order radar equipment, as well as other high-end information processing and transmission equipment. The data transmission speed is very fast, and data can be transmitted with high precision and without delay, and high-definition live broadcast can be carried out.

Just by watching the live broadcast, professionals can analyze a lot of things.

"They use digital signal transmission."

"The picture is very clear and stable, without any lag, which means the transmission speed is very fast."

"This is very unusual..."

Generally, there are two ways of data transmission, one is digital signal transmission and the other is analog signal transmission.

Generally, the videos you watch are all digital signal transmission, which can have high resolution and the picture will be very clear. However, the problem is that digital signal transmission is easily interfered by the atmosphere and other radar signals, and the transmission process may be unstable.

.

It is difficult to achieve sustained, efficient and stable digital signal transmission from space to the ground.

Another way is analog signal transmission. Analog signal transmission will also be unstable, but it can provide a continuous picture. However, when the signal is unstable, the resolution will be greatly reduced, and the screen may even appear blurred.

The optical pressure engine can achieve such stable and efficient data transmission, which also represents extremely high-end data transmission technology.

American made a judgment, "It is likely to be some kind of high-end information transmission technology, possibly related to first-order electromagnetic waves."

"This is also evidence that they have mastered first-order radar technology!"

In the live broadcast, the work of releasing the satellite has begun.

From the perspective of a single-sided lens, the light pressure engine surrounds the cabin, a small part opens the cabin cover, and the large satellite slowly rises from the cabin.

When it rises to a certain height, you can clearly see that the large satellite is connected and controlled by a V-shaped boom, which is somewhat similar to the boom of an excavator.

The satellite was hoisted away from the cabin, about forty meters away, and the V-shaped boom was extended to its limit.
