828 The threat of space debris

You have to know that even the company will have such a big loss. The combined losses of the whole world will of course be more, and if there is a "chain" reaction, the trouble will be even greater, so Zhang Hanxiu feels This third brother's trouble is really too big!

"It's drunk! Everyone came here with a mentality of watching fun, no one thought that the third brother was so unreliable!

You see which public launch of our company was not launched after being checked over and over again. You don’t know how they operate. Such a big thing can be sloppy!"The reported staff couldn't help but complain.

"Oh! Just get used to it! In this way, you can communicate with your peers there and see if there are any other conditions. I will also report to the boss here. Things are not small. You have to discuss the specifics. 'S response plan!" Zhang Hanxiu asked.

Although he did an emergency response as soon as he received the news, such a big thing must definitely notify the boss and the president, because the latter thing needs the company's response.

After all, the company’s losses need to be compensated, and the compensation is still a small matter. What needs more attention is the space debris generated by the explosion. Their existence is even more troublesome!

According to the professional saying of rocket scientists, it is called “orbital debris”, but most people call it “space debris”.

Don't underestimate these bits and pieces of space debris. According to statistics, the number of space debris larger than 1 cm in diameter exceeds 110,000, while the space debris larger than 1 mm exceeds 300,000.Surprised that there is so much garbage?In fact, in the final analysis, we all made it ourselves.

Space junk is a variety of objects and debris abandoned by humans in space activities. They are like artificial satellites orbiting the earth in a certain orbit, forming a dangerous garbage belt.

Space junk can be divided into three categories: one is relatively large objects that can be monitored and tracked by modern radar, mainly including various satellites, satellite protective covers and various components, etc. This kind of junk has reached more than 8,000;

The second is that small objects, such as engines and satellites, are generated during a space explosion. The number is estimated to be at least a few million. The large amount of debris produced by this explosion in the three countries is of this type.

The third is nuclear-powered satellites and the radioactive debris they produce. Up to now, these satellites have sent 3 tons of debris to Earth orbit. This type of garbage is not dangerous at all.

Space debris has brought hidden dangers to the development of the space industry. They have become potential killers of man-made satellites and orbiting space stations, and have seriously threatened the safety of astronauts.

You know, space junk runs at the speed of the universe.An oncoming metal particle with a diameter of 0.5 mm is enough to pierce the sealed flight suit;

Dust that cannot be discerned by the naked eye (such as paint fines and paint powder) can also kill astronauts. In the future, the infinite gravity group's experiments in the "Nantianmen" Earth Orbital Space Station will be necessary.

Even if it is due to orbit, this explosion will not affect the astronaut’s cabin movement, and their presence will make it difficult to launch the manned spacecraft, because in the event of the spacecraft launching these fragments The danger is not small at all!

A piece of wreckage as large as an aspirin pill can crash an artificial satellite into "mutilation" and can send a spacecraft with a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to a dead end. This kind of danger is not just a matter of words!

In the history of human space, accidents and disasters caused by space debris are not uncommon.In 1983, the old and beautiful space shuttle "Challenger" collided with a 0.2 mm diameter paint peel, causing damage to the porthole and forced to stop flying.

Big Brother's "Salute-7" orbital station has also been damaged by such "dust" many times.

In 1986, the "Ariane" rocket exploded shortly after entering orbit, becoming 564 pieces of 10 cm-sized wreckage and 2,300 pieces of small debris. "!

On September 15, 1991, the space shuttle "Discoverer" launched by Lao Mei almost collided with the rocket wreckage of the former Soviet Union. At that time, the "Discoverer" was only 2.74 kilometers away from this "uninvited guest". Fortunately, The command system sent warning signals in time to save it from being killed.

According to calculations, the probability of a catastrophic collision event for each flying object in space orbit is 3.7%, and the probability of a non-catastrophic collision event is 20%.

And the explosion of the three countries may have to increase this probability by several percentage points, which makes everyone sad!

"... The total number of various exploration satellites and experimental verification satellites currently in low orbit on our company's side is 33. According to the calculation of the origin, 7 satellites will be impacted by the debris generated by this explosion. The damage is mainly due to the fact that they are too close to the explosion, even if the orbit changes are too late to avoid.

In addition, there are 9 satellites that need to orbit to avoid debris generated by the explosion. Such orbit change will not only delay the detection and experimental work of the satellite, but also reduce the service life of the satellite due to such orbit change!

The preliminary estimate adds that our company will lose at least RMB 1.5 billion due to the satellite launch explosion of the three countries, which is still a direct loss!

The debris generated by these subsequent explosions may make our company's subsequent space launch activities more difficult, and the losses will be even greater!At the company's emergency meeting, Zhang Hanxiu reported the situation in detail.

"Such a big loss! The third brother really made a big death this time! It's okay to show a fart. It is not the focus to create 1.5 billion yuan for our company. The focus is on the threat this explosion will pose to our future launches. It's too big!

To know that the company's next launch missions are very intensive, it is very troublesome to delay any launch!"Kong Yuxiao was anxious to hear this!

"Boss, what kind of response should we make here? We must have a specific response plan for this matter, otherwise we will be very passive!" Jiang Yuting frowned and looked at Lei after listening to Zhang Hanxiu's report. Tian Tang asked.

Her mood at the moment is also very uncomfortable, to know that she is responsible for coordinating most of the work of the company, and she is busy every day. Now that such an accident has occurred, you can say that you are heartbroken!

She needs to deal with such a large loss and the adverse effects on the company in the future. It is enough to think about such troubles!
