1768: C1768 A Satellite with a Bad Fate

C1768 A Satellite with a Bad Fate

Western Alliance?

When he heard this, even Qin Guan felt puzzled. What company was this? He had never heard of it before.

"I know this company. This company is a communications company. Buying the Hughes Company's satellite and using it for his own use. Their company's current management is not very good." There were also a few diplomats who had come with Elder Wang. Qin Guan immediately understood what this person meant after hearing what he said.

So that was the case.

Their company's management was not in a good state, and could go bankrupt at any time. Therefore, a company like this is most sensitive to prices. The price of their own satellite was very low, so they must be interested in choosing their own company as the distributor. However, such a company also had risks. What if they went bankrupt? Then their initial preparations might go down the drain.

However, even if they went down the drain, this deal was worth it, because we have money, so what are we afraid of?

"Then we'll prepare. We'll entertain the guests tomorrow." Qin Guan said.

Elder Wang's face was beaming with joy. He immediately went to analyze the situation with the others. He wanted to see what kind of satellites the other party was going to launch and what they were going to sell to the other party. He had to make the other party satisfied.

The next day, Stephen Ike, the market manager of Western Alliance Trading Company, who was covered in dust, his complexion did not look too good. It was because he took a plane at night and only rested for a few hours. Now, he was still sleepy. But... Stephen smiled when he saw Qin Guan. "President Qin, it is an honor to meet you. You are a miracle in the business world. You have shown us your new and refreshing way of doing business. "

What technique? Do you know that I did it on purpose? Qin Guan looked helpless. This guy obviously didn't know how to praise people. No wonder their company was not good at management. This kind of person was the manager of the market. He ran into walls everywhere.

"Please take a seat, everyone has come from afar. Is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Guan asked.

"We have learned from the Hughes Company that your launch cost can be 20% lower than other commercial launches, right?" Stephen asked.

"Of course." Qin Guan said, "We are in the early stages of entering the commercial launch market in order to open up the market. Now, we can only sign the launch contract with us. Only then can we enjoy this discount. "

The launch reservation agreement is a special term, just like the university students in the future taking seats. You have to know that if you want to have a launch mission, you have to launch at the aerospace center. And the space center had limited number of launchers, so they had to prepare for a long time. This required an advance order. This was the launch reservation agreement. Only with this agreement could there be subsequent launch preparations.

Now, hearing Qin Guan's words, Stephen immediately said, "Of course there's no problem. We are here to sign the agreement. Our Western Alliance Planet No. 6 is a synchronized communication satellite. Weight Can you launch it? "

Upon hearing the other party mention the Western Alliance Star Six, Elder Wang immediately recalled something. "Could it be the satellite that failed the launch two years ago?"

With bad luck and bad luck, Elder Feng, Tang Yi, and Li Guang found it difficult to seal their names. Many things that made one sigh could be found everywhere in history. If one were to talk about bad luck in the Satellite Realm, they would definitely mention the Western Alliance Star Number Six.

Ever since the Y Country had the Space Shuttle, they had been very proud. Even the president of the Y Country had signed an order. From now on, anything that could be launched using the Space Shuttle must be launched by the Space Shuttle. Otherwise, how could they promote the Space Shuttle?

Therefore, in February 1984, 'Challenger' Space Shuttle carried this West Union Star Number 6 and another @ @ # @ @ # 162c023746663Palapa B2 # # @ # @ The satellite enters space together.

The Space Shuttle launched the satellite. Different from the rocket, they were all loaded into the Space Shuttle's Cargo Warehouse. Then, in space orbit, the mechanical arm took the satellite out. It was enough to throw it out. However, this was only a low-Earth orbit. The Space Shuttle could not reach the synchronous orbit.

The satellites in the synchronous orbit needed to be pushed forward. Fortunately, they had already left the atmosphere and entered the Outer Space. As long as the rocket engine was ignited, they could successfully push them into the orbit.

However, these two satellites were very unlucky. After they left the Space Shuttle, the engine did not ignite as planned, so they could not enter the scheduled orbit and the satellite launch failed.

This was a huge blow to the Western Alliance Company. Even if the insurance company paid the insurance fees, but... Their satellites had to be used, and now there were no satellites... How could they forward messages?

Fortunately, the ground tracking station detected and calculated the exact location of the two satellites. At the same time, they discovered that the satellite was in good condition.

After all, the cost of building a satellite was very high. Now that the two satellites were intact, they might as well retrieve the two satellites!

The dark technology of Y Country was displayed just like that. Only the Space Shuttle could do it, nothing else was possible. After all, for such a large cargo to come back from space, it would normally vaporize. Only the huge cargo hold of the Space Shuttle could bring the satellite back in one piece. At the same time, only the way the Space Shuttle skidded and landed could allow it to return to the ground. Ordinary spaceships were parachutes, they definitely didn't have this ability.

This also reflected the advanced nature of the Space Shuttle. Even though the launch failed, we can still retrieve it.

Hence, on November 8th, the "Discovery" Space Shuttle was launched into space. First recycle the Palapa B2 satellite, then recycle the satellite. Because of the distance, even two astronauts were able to walk in space. Arriving near the satellite, bring the satellite back to the Cargo Warehouse, then safely return to the ground.

The Hughes Company had refurbished the satellite. It had been in the middle of the year. Now, the satellite was still in the process of being refurbished. Once the refurbishment was completed, it could be launched.

But...

What should he choose to launch it? Thinking back to the previous experience, the Western Alliance Company was trembling with fear. They did not want to use the Space Shuttle anymore. At the same time, their company's funds were also very tight. They could not afford the cost of the Space Shuttle launch. Now... When Qin Guan and the others went to Hughes Company to promote their own launch, Western Alliance immediately knew. The cost was reduced by 20%. Furthermore, the previous launch of the Han people... There was almost no record of failure, so they were tempted. They immediately ran over and got the Han people to launch. It was cheap and safe.2
