Chapter 2742: A huge family of universal satellite platforms
Wu Hao made a colorful joke, causing everyone at the scene to burst into laughter, their eyes filled with endless yearning. But it was just yearning, and I don’t know when this day will come.
Even if they arrive, I don’t know if they will have the opportunity to go to the distant moon. Although compared to the vastness of the universe, the distance between the earth and the moon is only 380,000 kilometers, but for humans, this is
It is a chasm. At least for now, there are only a handful of people who can cross this chasm and reach the other side.
However, there is still hope, just in case it comes true.
And Wu Hao has now given them this hope. As long as they are willing and as long as they have money, they can send their own astronauts and scientists, or even themselves to the moon, whether it is to travel or to show off their space skills.
Ambition or influence, this is a very good choice.
Of course, they also understand the price this dream has to pay.
After an introduction to the lunar scientific research station, everyone followed Wu Hao to the most prominent rocket models, and then enthusiastically introduced to everyone: "What you are seeing is our Jianmu series.
The launch vehicle family includes the Jianmu-1 rocket, which is known for its low cost and flexibility, and the Jianmu-2 rocket, which is currently the most commercially available and is our first reusable rocket.
At present, we are able to recycle the entire rocket, which means that its latest experimental improvement model can realize the recyclability and reuse of the entire rocket.
The commercial version facing the market has also been able to realize the recycling and reuse of other parts of the rocket, such as the first-stage rocket, fairings, etc., in addition to the second-stage rocket and the upper stage carrying multiple satellites. This can greatly reduce the cost of the rocket.
The launch cost, thereby reducing the launch cost of satellites.
This one here is our Jianmu-5 bundled launch vehicle. It is developed from the Jianmu-2 rocket. The biggest difference is that it has two boosters. These two boosters are actually Jianmu-2 rockets.
The first stage of a wooden rocket.
This has also greatly improved its carrying capacity. Its carrying capacity in low-Earth orbit can reach fifteen tons, while that in geosynchronous orbit can reach eight tons.
This carrying capacity is enough to meet the launch needs of basically the vast majority of satellites and spacecrafts.
The two models here are our Jianmu-7 medium-sized launch vehicle and the heavy-duty launch vehicle improved from Jianmu-7.
Among them, the carrying capacity of Jianmu-9 in low-Earth orbit can reach more than 50 tons, and the carrying capacity of geosynchronous transfer orbit can also reach more than 20 tons.
Currently, these two rockets are mainly used for our manned spacecraft and lunar exploration projects, as well as other deep space exploration missions. Of course, they will also undertake the launch missions of some large and important spacecraft and satellites, but they are not common.
It’s just being used.”
Although Wu Hao introduced all types of their launch vehicles, he still mainly introduced the various types of Jianmu-2 rockets. This is mainly because this rocket currently undertakes the most commercial launch projects, which means that it has received the most commercial launch projects.
The space satellite projects they are going to talk about next are basically launched by this rocket, so I will focus on them.
As for other types of rockets, I just briefly introduce them to open their eyes, and they basically don’t need them.
Everyone obviously knows this, so they pay more attention to various types of Jianmu-2 rockets. Of course, they just pay attention to these rockets, and these are not what they can think about.
In fact, these rockets have little to do with them. Compared with these rockets, they are more concerned about the various satellite models and actual objects on display next to them.
Wu Hao obviously noticed this, so he led everyone to the satellite exhibition area obediently.
"What is shown here are our various types of universal satellite platform families and some of the equipment carried on them. According to the weight of these satellite platforms, we divide them into multiple levels, such as the smallest one here, which is ten kilograms.
Universal platform for micro-satellites, universal platform for CubeSats at the 20-kg level, universal small-satellite platforms at the 50-kg level, universal levels for 100-kg, 200-kg, and 500-kg conventional satellites.
Then there are some of our medium-sized satellite universal platforms, which weigh more than one ton, including one-ton, two-ton, and five-ton universal satellite platforms. In addition, we have also specially developed
A universal platform for large satellites in the ten-ton class.”
At this introduction, Wu Hao paused for a moment and then continued: "I want to explain here. The greater the weight of the satellite platform, the larger the equipment it can carry, the heavier the weight, and the higher the performance.
Stronger. And because the platform is relatively large, its solar panels can be made larger, so the power generation power is higher, which can provide more sufficient power for the higher-power equipment it carries. This is like the same
A radar, the difference between one kilowatt and one hundred kilowatts.
At the same time, because the larger the satellite platform is, the more fuel it carries, the longer it can support the satellite operating in space orbit.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that bigger satellites are better, it all depends on everyone’s individual needs. Small satellites also have the advantages of small satellites, such as being cheap, flexible, widely used, etc.”
After introducing these, Wu Hao led everyone to a physical exhibit of a small satellite, and then introduced to everyone: "What you see in front of you is our physical small satellite with a weight of 100 kilograms.
What you see as a whole is wrapped in a golden insulation film, which is our satellite platform, and the white equipment above is some of the equipment carried by the satellite platform. It can be seen that this satellite platform is equipped with an optical detector.
The detection camera can conduct reconnaissance and monitoring of ground targets. Its resolution is also quite impressive, and it can meet the reconnaissance and imaging requirements at the meter level on the ground.
In addition to optical cameras, these satellites can also carry a variety of functional modules, such as various radar equipment, communication equipment, and other functional modules, depending on their respective needs.
And we also provide customers with personalized and flexible customization services. Customers can purchase relevant equipment by themselves and have us assist in installing it on the satellite platform. They can also put forward their own requirements, or choose our related equipment products for installation.
onto these satellite platforms.
After passing the test, it will be transported to the launch site and mounted on our launch vehicle. Then it will be launched into space by the rocket in a suitable launch window, and then released and transferred to the prescribed orbit.
Once there are no problems with the online inspection, we will hand over control of the satellite to everyone to complete the cooperation."
