If these orders were given to any commercial aerospace company, they would be very excited but also have a headache.
Because for them, the launch of each rocket requires a long period of preparation, from manufacturing, debugging, to final launch, it requires a long process.
With so many orders placed in their hands, they simply cannot complete them all in a short period of time. In fact, commercial aerospace companies usually receive orders on a yearly basis. Orders received at the beginning of the year often take
The actual launch won't be until the end of the year or even year 2.
For Aegis Aerospace, the situation is completely different.
After the construction of the spacecraft is completed, it can be put into normal use after this test flight.
For this spacecraft, which is built using current aerospace technology that surpasses the Earth, performing a launch mission into Earth orbit is not much different from an ordinary flight by an ordinary aircraft.
If there is enough time, it can perform a flight mission every day!
Of course, considering the actual situation, the time spent on each mission itself, as well as the preliminary preparation and post-launch maintenance work, it is not realistic to perform one mission every day.
However, after integrating and planning existing orders, Aegis Aerospace still carried out multiple satellite launches and space station material transportation missions at a frequency of once a week, and all were completed perfectly without any accidents.
With the smooth execution of launch missions one after another, people who were originally worried that the Aegis Group's spacecraft would have safety risks like the space shuttle have also relaxed, and the number of launch orders received by the Aegis Group has continued to increase.
If the carrying capacity of the Aegis spacecraft was not far greater than that of ordinary launch vehicles and space shuttles, and many launch missions could be combined and completed at the same time, they would have to consider whether to build another spacecraft to meet the rapidly growing orders.
And this is actually just the beginning. The function of the Aegis spacecraft goes far beyond launching satellites and transporting supplies.
A spacecraft that can fly directly to outer space with a huge size not only has a super carrying capacity, but can also perform tasks that cannot be performed by various rocket platforms.
The Aegis spacecraft is very comprehensively equipped with functions. In addition to a huge cargo hold, a spacious cab and a crew cabin, it is also equipped with a multi-functional robotic arm and various detection devices.
In addition to satellite deployment, space transportation and space exploration capabilities, it can also perform satellite maintenance, satellite recovery, space rescue, space experiment and production, space travel and other tasks.
A small spacecraft or, to be precise, a space capsule launched by an ordinary launch vehicle must accurately calculate its trajectory due to the limited fuel and supplies it carries. Any mistakes or omissions may lead to mission failure.
The Aegis spacecraft using new propulsion fuel has sufficient power to move flexibly in Earth orbit, perform various complex tasks, or directly stay in space orbit as a space station. The various materials carried by the spacecraft are also sufficient.
Support their long-term stay in space orbit.
What is a very complex and difficult task for national space agencies and commercial aerospace companies is very simple for the Aegis spacecraft.
Some countries, companies and laboratories that have space experiment needs but do not have a space station have also placed orders for space experiments after confirming the manned safety of the spacecraft.
Since space experiments usually take a long time, at least several days, the Aegis spacecraft's mission schedule is also fuller.
At the same time, many satellite maintenance tasks have also come to our door.
Satellites operate and work in harsh space orbits and are subject to huge temperature differences and strong space radiation. Various precision equipment on WeChat are prone to various failures.
If it is just a system problem, you can do your best to remotely repair and troubleshoot the fault from the ground.
But if it is a problem with the hardware device, then they have only two choices left, either to watch the satellite gradually lose altitude and eventually fall into the dense earth's atmosphere and burn up.
Or if the satellite is still in a controlled state and there is still fuel left, it can be raised to a so-called "cemetery orbit" 38,000 kilometers above the ground. At such an altitude, these abandoned satellites will not affect normal operation.
Satellites pose a threat.
But how can the countries and companies that own satellites be willing to throw away these things that cost hundreds of millions?
Usually most of the equipment of these satellites is good. Only one of the equipment is broken, or the fuel to maintain the orbital altitude is used up. It is a pity to give up like this.
But because there is no way to go to space to repair the satellite or refuel it, they can only choose the above two options to abandon the satellite.
It was not until the United States developed the space shuttle that humans had the ability to repair satellites. Several satellites have received repairs from the space shuttle.
However, since all US space shuttles were retired a few years ago, theoretically speaking, humans have now lost the ability to repair faulty satellites in orbit.
The emergence of the Aegis Aerospace Company's spacecraft undoubtedly gave them hope again.
No matter how high the maintenance cost is, it is still much cheaper than re-manufacturing and launching a satellite, not to mention the time wasted by re-launching the satellite.
In addition to these various space missions, what people are most concerned about about this spacecraft is its space travel plan!
That's right, after conducting several manned missions and confirming the safety of the spacecraft, Aegis Aerospace officially launched its space travel plan.
At present, only earth orbit sightseeing projects have been launched, and the spaceship ticket price is 10 million US dollars per person. In the future, unprecedented travel plans to the moon and Mars will be launched.
Due to the huge technical advantages of the Aegis spacecraft and the launch and return methods that are different from those of launch vehicles, the overload during the entire flight, especially during launch and landing, is much smaller than that of launch vehicles. People who have not undergone strict space flight training
Ordinary people can also bear it, which allows many space travel enthusiasts who are originally unable to withstand the powerful overload during rocket launch because their physical fitness does not meet the requirements, but also have the opportunity to realize their dreams of space travel.
Moreover, the crew cabin of the Aegis spacecraft is much more spacious than rocket ships and American space shuttles. The flight experience is not the previous way of traveling in a space capsule that is like a tin can and being launched into space by a rocket.
