1638: C1638 The Technical Risks Were High

C1638 The Technical Risks Were High

Theoretically, the ship is like an old satellite, the launch method was exactly the same, and the landing time was also quite similar. Using the parachute to retrieve it, but before landing, there was a need for a reverse rocket to lower its speed.

As for the Space Shuttle? It was a spacecraft that was similar to a plane, and he had the ability to fly. It needed a pilot to pilot it, and it also looked like a triangular-winged aircraft. As a spacecraft, it needed specialized personnel to develop the aircraft.

Not to mention, just this alone was enough to put a lot of people in a difficult position. Everyone present was a rocket expert.

In order to develop the Blizzard, Bear Country had transferred a large number of personnel from their airplane research department to participate in this project. What about their own side? Their own side simply did not have this ability.

Theoretically speaking, that was right. The Space Shuttle was a better choice. However, they didn't have this ability, so they could only give up for the time being. In comparison, the universe ship was much simpler, especially when it was being recycled. Only recycling cabins were recycled, so the difficulty was much lower.

"Let's continue, the structure of the Space Shuttle has two different methods." Qin Guan said, "The Space Shuttle of the people of Y Country has a main engine. If it needs to be used multiple times... Can we guarantee the lifespan of this engine? "

The Aerospace Technology in Han Country was quite advanced, but there was a gap in the aviation technology compared to the west. What was the reason?

The spacecraft is a one-time use. For example, the launch of a rocket. Even if it was done, as long as the launch was met once, it would be fine. The rocket engine would burn for a few hundred seconds. As long as the life expectancy of these few hundred seconds was guaranteed, that would be enough.

Aircraft planes were different. The engine of a fighter aircraft would take a few hundred hours even if it was weak. The advanced aircraft would take a few thousand hours. This required a lot of effort in terms of materials and other aspects.

This way, the difficulty of an aircraft engine was much higher than aerospace. This was the case.

The Space Shuttle in Y Country was the same as the Space Shuttle in Bear Country. On the side of the Space Shuttle, there was a large cylinder with a booster on both sides.

However, in reality, the two were different.

Outside the Y Country hung a fuel box. The fuel box contained a few thousand tons of fuel. All of them were highly efficient liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel. These were the main engines that entered the bottom of the Space Shuttle. Launch: 8. After 5 minutes, the fuel was used up and thrown into the ocean.

This way, the engine behind the Space Shuttle had to be used multiple times. This brought about a lot of uncertainty. Every time it was used, it had to be checked and repaired. A small problem could cause the Space Shuttle to crash.

Other things aside, there was no such technology in China.

"If we want to follow the Space Shuttle's plan, the Y Country's plan is not the best." Elder Ren said, "We plan to walk the path of the Bear Country. At the same time, the Chicken Country also has the same plan."

Everyone could already think of the hidden dangers in the Y Country's plan. It was very difficult to burn the rocket engine multiple times and use it many times. Therefore, they had to change the method.

Bear Country was also working on the Space Shuttle. Now, they had roughly revealed the plan. Different from Y Country, Bear Country's plan was more like firing a rocket. The Space Shuttle was just the load of the rocket.

The Blizzard Space Shuttle was only a small engine used to change the orbit. It was also attached to a huge cylinder on the side. This cylinder was not a fuel tank, but a real rocket.

This way, every time it was launched, it would still use a normal rocket. Of course, this rocket was full of power. It was definitely a super rocket that could send dozens of tons of load directly into Earth's low-Earth orbit.

Like this, every time the rocket was launched, it would be one-time use. The small engine on the Space Shuttle was only used to adjust the orbit and so on. This way, the difficulty of the system would be greatly reduced.

Not only Bear Country, but also the entire European Space Agency led by Chicken Country. They had proposed this in 1976.

Chicken Country was also in high spirits, wanting to start a manned space project. They planned to launch Li's No. 5 rocket, the Heaven and Earth Transmission Transportation Transportation Device. This was a super sonic glider, and it was even simpler. It was a manned heaven and earth return transport system. It was named after the legendary Oracle Hermes.

However, no one had seen it in the future because of the funding problem. This project had been canceled. Only a large country could carry out manned space, because only a large country could have such an ability.

Qin Guan nodded. "Yes, if we want to get the Space Shuttle, we can only take this path. However, the rocket that we can take on this mission hasn't come out yet."

If they wanted to get the Space Shuttle, they didn't have any technological reserves right now. Although they were already getting the rocket with a huge thrust, there were still many years before this kind of rocket could succeed.

"Right now, the ones with the highest success rate are the Long-March 2-series rockets. This type of rocket has a load close to 10 tons of low-Earth orbit, which can be used as a transportation tool for our universe ship." Qin Guan said, "The cost of this plan is the lowest, and the technical difficulty is the lowest. This is the easiest plan for us to succeed. As for the Space Shuttle... Why don't we use it as a long-term plan? "

The universe ship must have one, because Qin Guan had already decided on the route. It is a universe ship and a space station, the space station is a large platform in the universe. It could conduct all kinds of effective scientific experiments, develop a new generation of large thrust rockets. It was for the purpose of launching the space station's module.

As a space station, there had to be a spacecraft that was on standby. Once there was a problem with the space station, it would withdraw from the space station and return to Earth.

The spaceship was the best plan, looking at the Bear Country space station. There is a spacecraft waiting for orders outside. Generally speaking, there will be a time interval of half a year, or even a year. Depends on how long an astronaut worked there.

In fact, this spaceship was the spaceship that the astronauts came from. After docking, it would operate together with the space station. When they went back, they would sit on this spaceship and leave.1

Of course, after the mission became normal, there would be a second batch of astronauts coming up. The spaceship that they brought would also be docked, so at most, the space station would bring along two spaceships at the same time.

Space Shuttle, could it be so wasteful? Of course not!

The Space Shuttle could only stay in Outer Space for a week at most before coming down. Hence, the universe ship must have one. As for the Space Shuttle, then we'll talk about it in the future. When the country becomes strong... Now, the universe ship was the only choice.
