Chapter 2521 Space Express

[Modified version] After listening to Yu Chengwu’s explanation, Zhang Jun nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Upon seeing this, Yu Chengwu immediately continued: "In addition to the Jianmu-7 series of rockets, the Jianmu-9 rocket will also become the main force of our extraterrestrial exploration projects for a long time to come.

It is also particularly important in the construction of this lunar scientific expedition station project. It will undertake the task of transporting our series of large and heavy spacecraft and building scientific research stations.

At present, our first Jianmu-9 rocket has been successfully developed and is undergoing a series of tests and inspections. It is expected to be transported to the Nanhai launch site next month, where the pre-launch rocket assembly will be carried out, as well as a pre-launch process. Series work. The launch time window has been basically determined. The Jianmu-9 rocket will be launched in early July to transport the first batch of equipment and supplies to the moon for our lunar scientific expedition station. "

"It's so fast. Has the time advanced?" Zou Xiaodong, who was sitting in his seat and turning his pen all the time, couldn't help but ask after hearing this. As a shareholder and board member of the company, it is natural for him to attend this meeting.

Hearing Zou Xiaodong's question, Yu Chengwu nodded and said: "This is also an adjustment made in response to this year's launch mission plan of the Nanhai Launch Site. This year, the Nanhai Launch Site has undertaken a series of major launch missions, so resources are relatively tight. Coordination will not be until early July. We have also spent a lot of effort. If we miss this time window, our launch plan may have to be postponed to next year."

"It's early July, it's not long. How are the preparations going?" Zhang Jun asked Yu Chengwu immediately after hearing this.

Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Yu Chengwu smiled and shook his head and said: "There is no problem with the rocket. As for the payload, let Xiang Ming introduce it to everyone."

Hearing Yu Chengwu call his name, Zhou Xiangming nodded slightly, then turned sideways and said to Wu Hao and others: "Currently, the first batch of load materials for our lunar scientific research station are ready and are currently undergoing intense testing.

The load of this transportation includes the total weight of the orbiter and lander, which is 21.5 tons, of which 11 tons are the weight of the orbiter and lander, and 10 tons are the equipment and materials we prepared for the construction of the lunar scientific research station.

These materials include two multi-purpose engineering robots, an intelligent control robot, a lunar soil 3D printer, a large data antenna system, a set of solar panels, super solid-state batteries, and a series of other related materials. equipment.

We will use these robots and material equipment to officially start the construction project of the lunar scientific research station. First, we need to build a large-scale data antenna system to establish a high-speed data transmission network between the earth and the moon.

The transmission speed of the antennas on these robots is too wide and the bandwidth is too small to support our subsequent series of construction and exploration scientific research tasks on the moon, so we must complete the communication system first.

In addition, we will also transport solar cell sail panels to the moon in batches and build a solar power station around the lunar scientific research station we have chosen. Providing abundant power for the construction of our lunar scientific research station, as well as subsequent operations and scientific research, this will also become our main source of energy.

Two multi-purpose engineering robots and an intelligent control robot, as well as the lunar soil 3D printer, will serve as the main force in the early construction of the lunar scientific research station and complete a series of construction tasks. "

At this point, Zhou Xiangming paused for a moment, and then continued to everyone: "This is just the first transportation mission. We will launch another one next summer. It is expected that we will transport more than thirty tons of materials in total. To the moon.

By then, the first phase of the entire lunar scientific research station will be initially completed, and it will be able to welcome the first batch of visitors. "

After listening to Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao nodded and then asked: "Where is the manned spacecraft?"

After hearing Wu Hao's inquiry, Guo Yulong, the person in charge of the manned spacecraft project, immediately reported to Wu Hao and everyone.

“At present, the technology of our Walker series manned spacecraft has basically matured. In addition to completing the first manned flight, we have also participated in the transfer of materials and personnel to our national space station, and have been highly praised by all parties.

In the future, the Walker series spacecraft will serve as our main means of transportation in and out of space, responsible for traveling in and out of space. As for the Space Express, which is used to transfer orbits between the Earth and the Moon, we are also in the process of intense development.

As he spoke, Guo Yulong slid the transparent folding tablet in his hand, and a photo appeared on the big screen. The photo showed a very huge and strange spacecraft frame, where many scientific researchers were participating in the construction and development. "

Guo Yulong introduced to everyone: "This is the Space Express Earth-moon transfer spacecraft we are developing. Its overall structure is actually similar to the core module of our national space station, but it is also very different.

It is divided into several structures as a whole, namely the tail thruster and the tail interface, and then the middle stage is the main body of the crew cabin. The head is the node module, which is used to dock the manned spacecraft and lunar lander.

The tail docking port is mainly connected to the thruster and can also be connected to the cargo spacecraft. We designed a special thruster module for Space Express, which will bear the main power output of the entire Space Express. Find the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com This thruster module is separated from the main body of our Space Express. The advantage of this design is that it facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the propulsion module in the future.

In addition, the entire thruster module can also provide relevant resource support for the entire Space Express, such as oxygen. This thruster module can be reused or disposable, which is very convenient.

The core crew module has a total of eight beds, or eight bedrooms, and we can go up to twelve if needed, which means we can allow up to twelve members to call this space express.

In addition to transporting cargo, the core crew cabin can also transport various materials and equipment, and can transport a maximum of more than ten tons of cargo to and from the earth and the moon.

In front of the core crew module is the node module. The entire node module has a panoramic observation cabin and four interfaces that can dock cargo spacecraft, manned spacecraft, and lunar lander.

Under normal circumstances, the position directly in front of the node module, that is, along the axis of the core crew module, is used to dock the lunar lander, and the interface below the core module is used to dock the cargo spacecraft or manned spacecraft. At the same time, the spacecraft can be transferred to some docking ports through a mechanical arm. The other docking interface can be used for temporary exit and walking windows, and can also be used to park other manned or cargo spacecraft. "
