I have a little black hole

834 Space Junk Processor

Of course, he was not called by Zhang Hanxiu to visit today, so he immediately passed these labs by looking at them.

"Look, boss, this is the space garbage collector you asked us to design. We have completed the design work. The related design has also been verified by the simulation of the origin. Today, please come and have a look. If the boss thinks there is no problem, Then we can arrange production!" After entering the laboratory to be visited today, Zhang Hanxiu asked Yuanyuan to project a design drawing.

"If I hadn't seen the design, I thought you were joking with me. This is only 3 days after our meeting. Your design has been completed, which is too fast!" Lei Tiantang looked at it. The design said with emotion.

Zhang Hanxiu said calmly about his boss's emotions: "Boss, we dare not take credit for this, because we also borrowed the ideas of our peers for the design thinking of this space garbage cleaner.

There are many international designs for the cleanup of space debris, and many designs are very feasible.

Of course, these designs belong to the design, but there are few designs that have actually been verified, and even if they have been verified, they have been conducted for at most one or two rounds, mainly in the technical reserve stage.

The main reason why this situation occurs is that it is a thankless thing. The cost is too large to recover the cost. There are not many people who are willing to do a loss-making transaction. This research accounts for the entire aerospace research and development. Little pitiful.

So your boss asked us to provide a solution to clean up space debris from your lab during the last meeting. We have conducted research on related designs in this area.

Now our design is just adopting the doctrine. Of course, they only adopted their design concept. Technically, the design we have completed in our laboratory is far more than the previous one. So about cleaning up space debris the design of!"

He said that Lei Tiantang also understood the reason why the laboratory can complete the design so quickly, because there are indeed many related international designs.

Like the old and beautiful "space slingshot" plan, England's "cubic solar sail" plan and my country's "Aolong-1 space debris active cleaning aircraft" plan, etc., various major aerospace countries have conducted exploration work in this regard.

However, because these related technical designs are not mature enough, so far no country has said that it will formally carry out space debris removal.

Of course, the reason for this is that Lei Tiantang also knows the same as Zhang Hanxiu said. The cost of space debris removal can be quite a lot. With the current technology, the cost cannot be afforded by any country.

Because even if the infinite gravity group's current recyclable rocket launch technology is used to launch the space garbage processor, the cost of each launch will be at least 20 million US dollars.

And a launch can carry up to 10 such space garbage processors, and according to the working efficiency of those space garbage processors they design, a processor can handle at most one or two small space garbage because of the volume Their designs are too big to handle.

And each space garbage processor can handle a maximum of 10 garbage at a time, even if it is calculated according to this number, the average cost of cleaning up each space garbage must reach 200,000 US dollars, such space garbage cleaning costs No one can bear it!

According to the statistics of the national space agencies, as of January this year, the number of large debris in space has reached more than 34,000, and the number of dangerous debris is as high as about 900,000. Of course, this number is now with the three countries The explosion has grown a lot.

As you can see from the above data, if you want to clean up the space debris that surrounds each orbit, how much will it cost, no matter which country will spend so much money to serve the world.

"If you say that, I will understand, but I can make you confidently call me to visit. I believe it must be different from those immature designs, so tell me your design ideas!" Lei Tiantang little bit Said the head.

"Hey, boss, you say this as if I were looking for you to show off! Although it does have such thoughts, it's not good for you to say so straightforwardly? Don't you see it after seeing it!" Say, Zhang Hanxiu couldn't help vomiting.

"Get out! Introduce quickly!" Lei Tiantang was cheered by his cheeky face.

Seeing that the nearby employees were laughing after hearing the movement, Zhang Hanxiu coughed and acted seriously: "Good boss, then I will officially introduce the space garbage processor we designed!

In general, our design refers to the cubic solar sails in England and the net throwing method to design our space garbage cleaner.

Because this design that actively grabs space debris and takes it out of orbit is a relatively mature method of removing space debris, so our design also adopts this design.

Each space garbage cleaner is composed of 4 thrusters and a catching net. Each thruster has various detection equipment. After reaching a predetermined orbit, the 4 thrusters will be separated in 4 directions. Open the middle catching net, and then use the catching net to clean up space debris.

During the removal process, the space junk processor will first adjust its own orbit based on the monitoring data of the ground junk on the ground facilities, close to the position several kilometers away from the target.

Then it will use the aurora radar, infrared camera and other detection equipment mounted on the 4 propeller to further check and confirm the target's flight status, angle and other information, and then further approach to the place tens of meters away from the target.

Before capturing space debris, it is necessary to use optical cameras and other equipment to patrol the target, after determining the capture point, and then close to capture space debris, the entire capture process is basically the same as fishing with nets, but we catch this 'Fish' is more valuable and harder to catch!

After reaching the capture limit again, the space junk processor will carry the space junk into the tomb orbit or quickly fall into the orbit of the atmosphere to be released, completing the clearance of space junk.

Our space garbage processor can handle about 500 kg of garbage before the exhaustion of the thruster or the accident of the capture network is damaged. This processing capacity has practical value!"
