It was the second day when Du Gang came. He said that there were shooting stars that night to watch. Wang Chen paid attention.

Du Gang's statement reminded Wang Chen. It seems that the day is really coming today.

Just last month, Ying Jiang suddenly announced that she would officially retire the International Space Station next month.

This space station, which has been in service for a long time for a long time, is finally about to end its mission and will disintegrate and fall in the atmosphere.

Speaking of which, this space station is indeed a legend. After all, as the largest space base built by mankind before, it has obtained countless information for European and American countries in space.

As the largest space platform in orbit, it is a space laboratory with modern scientific research equipment that can carry out large-scale, multidisciplinary basic and applied scientific research.

It provides a large number of experimental loads and resources for conducting scientific experimental research in microgravity environments, supporting humans to stay in Earth's orbit for a long time.

This project is also jointly built, operated and used by 16 countries. It is the largest, longest time-consuming and most countries-related international space cooperation project ever.

Since the website was officially built in 1998, after more than ten years of construction, the construction task was completed in 2010 and entered the full use stage.

After various adjustments, its length has reached 108.5 meters, 72.8 meters wide and 20 meters high. Its total area is equivalent to the size of a football field, with a total mass of 420 tons, an internal space of 1,200 cubic meters, a cabin length of 74 meters, and a maximum capacity of 6 people.

But it is not a very regular spacecraft, because it is made up of various modules and components.

There are mainly 18 large components, including 1 service compartment, 3 experimental compartments, 3 mobile maintenance platforms, 1 dome compartment, as well as the largest main structure - space station trusses and solar panels connected in segments.

Although these have nothing to do with rabbits, they do have a high status in aerospace. European and American countries have accumulated a lot of experience through this.

Over the years, the cumulative investment alone has reached US$155.1 billion, including 131.1 billion in Hawk sauce, 12 billion in big gross, 5 billion in EU, 5 billion in foot chicken, and 2 billion in Canada.

From the start of construction in 1998 to the present, NASA spent an average of $3.5 billion on ISS per year. Astronauts spent an average of $7.5 million per day.

This may also be an important reason why Ying Jiang decided to eliminate it this year. After all, it can be repaired for several years as planned. However, considering that the technology is developing rapidly now, although this space station is expensive, it is already old in all aspects.

It's not like salted fish, even Apollo has left this guy a lot behind.

So instead of spending so much money every year to maintain an old site, it is better to replace it with a new one.

Didn't you see Da Mao thinking about his space station? Not to mention the European and American alliance, at least it can't be behind Da Mao, so where can you put the face?

Now, after making the decision, various preparations have been going on for more than two months, and 30% of the core warehouses have returned to Earth in advance through Apollo's shipping.

As for the remaining pile of unreturnable wholes, Eagle Sauce decided to place explosives when it entered the atmosphere.

This news came out. Many aerospace enthusiasts were preparing cameras on the Internet, intending to witness this special meteor shower with their own eyes that night.

After looking at it, it was already 9:20 in the evening. Wang Chen sat on the balcony on the second floor of his house. After thinking about it, he took out his tablet and logged into Station B.

As expected, such major events are broadcast all over the world, and Wang Chen will definitely be unable to see this broken place, so he can only watch it through the online cloud.

When Wang Chen entered the live broadcast room, ISS had already entered the predetermined track and was falling rapidly. Apollo next to him was recording the photographer in real time behind his butt.

The picture is very clear. After the space station entered the atmosphere, most areas began to turn red and tremble violently. Then a whole of silent fireworks blew it into pieces.

The violent explosion successfully decomposed the space station and sucked the wreckage firmly with the gravity of the earth. The rapid fall of hundreds of wreckage in the high temperature also rubbed a series of gorgeous flame tails.

The live broadcast screen quickly switched to a new perspective. In an unmanned area in Eastern Europe, a large number of dazzling light spots appeared on the dark night at the sky above the expected crash point.

The beautiful scenery of this artificial meteor shower passing through the air was captured by countless photography enthusiasts below who had been waiting for a long time. Someone on the barrage was teasing that this meteor shower is so expensive that it is too expensive, and I guess you can watch it in your lifetime.

Indeed, the value of a 100 billion US dollar is really expensive, and it can be exchanged for four or five Salted Fish.

In just a few minutes, the night sky on the screen returned to calm. The message sent to the scene said that the space station crashed perfectly, and they would spend some time collecting related wreckage in this area.

Back to Eagle Sauce, there will be a special museum for displaying these debris and the cabins that were transported back before.

I heard that the tentative ticket price is 10 US dollars per ticket, so Wang Chen probably would have to make a little difficult to make a profit.

However, Wang Chen really wants to go and see it when he has the chance. After all, this is also a pioneer of mankind. It is worthy of praise to put aside all kinds of positions.

With the technology of that era, building such a large space station can be said to be completely made of money and life, and he respected those astronauts Wang Chen very much.

After all, the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage.

After watching the live broadcast, it was already half past ten o'clock. He looked up at the night sky and then yawned and returned to the inner room.

The old legend has come to an end, the new legend has just begun, and the road is still long, let's go to bed first, there will be some busy tomorrow.

This time, Ying Jiang fell the International Space Station and must be prepared to fill it in a short period of time.

Although they are not clear about their specific trends, new competition is coming soon.

Wang Chen thought that Ying Jiang's new space station plan had probably started to prepare for it long ago. Apollo's successful takeoff also means that Ying Jiang can finally let go and start to make trouble.

Although Apollo's carrying capacity is not as strong as the Salt Fish, it can also undertake the assembly plan of the new space station.

Maybe Hawkshop's speed is still above the rabbit. After all, rabbits still have many shortcomings in terms of experience. This time I acted separately from my superiors. I really may not win by relying on rabbits alone.

Even though Damao is still fully supporting him, Damao himself needs to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the civilian version of the spacecraft and his own space station.

There is really not much support to the rabbit, and only some data parameters plus some experience records from my father back then.
Chapter completed!
