Super technology leader
Chapter 293
Tang Chao has been stationed at Navigator's Hongshudao Space Launch Center during this period.
The company’s virtual reality helmet production line is still being assembled and debugged, and he doesn’t need to care too much. Various experiments and formal announcements are also being arranged. Even some of the company’s astronauts have signed a confidentiality agreement and have begun training and testing with virtual reality helmets. , After the Starry Sky Inn gets into orbit, it will naturally follow.
He has been to space many times. Whether in Kanxing or in virtual space, he has been to space in many ways, but he officially entered space from the earth, he hasn’t played it yet, so he also Looking forward to it.
Originally, the company's orbital shuttle technology has been quite mature. The first two space pilots have flown at least 10 times, and both have started to bring students to train other space pilots of the company.
By the time the company officially starts to commercialize space travel, the leader company will have at least a team of 15 professional space pilots.
In addition to space pilots, various professional mission astronauts are also training, and the company also specializes in manufacturing an orbital shuttle.
The orbital shuttle for training has only two sections, the cockpit, the transition cabin, and the training cabin through which the passenger cabin passes. The training cabin has some training equipment that can allow 4 to 5 mission astronauts to train inside.
During training, this orbital shuttle will fly into space, and those trainees will assemble, disassemble, repair, detect, control, plant, pollinate, take care of, harvest, cook in a real weightless environment... Uh, this is not a wait Aspect of training.
This is because there is no dedicated training space station section, so it can only be carried out with a small plane.
But just use it. Having an orbital shuttle is the way to do whatever you want. Flying many times will cost other space agencies a manned space flight.
With this kind of high density, even normal manned spaceflight missions can directly put other organizations with manned spaceflight capabilities straight.
Think about how long it takes you to perform a manned space mission, then look at others, the times have changed!
Some countries that have space agencies but do not have manned space capabilities have also paid attention to the orbital shuttle. If you buy an orbital shuttle, won't your country join the international space club?
And it's also a manned space club, a one-step high-end club!
There is only one thing, that is, it is not possible to say "autonomous manned spaceflight capability", which sounds a bit shorter than those countries with autonomous manned spaceflight capabilities.
Of course, if you are shameless, this "autonomy" can still be used, such as a certain country.
But it doesn't matter if you don't blow it. The times have changed. It doesn't matter who you use it, and Pioneer is not Meriken. It has been said that everyone sells it, and there is no political kidnapping.
Now the aliens are coming to buy a modified orbital shuttle like this, no matter what the modification is, how can it be mixed with a high-end position in the possible "earth coalition".
If you lose, everyone will play together, but if you win, this is a good thing to increase the proportion of contributions and the right to speak.
The rules of the world have been fixed for decades. Seeing that history has reached a bifurcation again, the world pattern may usher in a sudden change, and we should fight no matter what.
These organizations have found the leader company to buy the orbital shuttle. Now the company has more than 12 external orders for the orbital shuttle that it wants to use.
This is because although some space agencies have been established and rocket research and development tasks have been launched, they have not received too much attention in China. The leaders of the space agency have to wrestle with the financial institutions, and then the financial and management departments have to look at other purchases. The reason for the decision on the institutional use of the equipment.
This is the so-called "waiting party."
When a certain thing emerges recently, many situations are irrational. After a period of time has passed, the essence of the thing will be revealed. It is advantageous to make a decision at that time.
For example, in a graphics card upgrade event, the graphics card series rose by one level, but the price was reduced by half, that is, waiting for the victory of the party.
Regarding the specific Starry Sky Inn orbiting mission, Tang Chao was permanently stationed on Sweet Potato Island and didn't care much about the head office, but he didn't have any idle time. He ran live broadcasts several times and answered many netizens' questions.
With a young person like Tang Chao who knows the way most netizens are, it is very simple to deal with the problems of netizens.
At the same time, he is the boss of the company and has extremely high authority. He decides what should be said and what should not be said, so he can speak freely.
And he is also the company's chief technology officer. Regardless of whether he is young or the boss of the company, he can also speak up on technical matters. When it comes to company equipment, no one knows better than him.
With so many BUFFs gathered together, there is no one.
During the preparation of the "Yuanhang" rocket and the "Star Inn" space station, two more orbital shuttles came from the space launch center of Sweet Potato Island, and they all flew over from the company.
Of course, it is definitely not a direct flight in the atmosphere, they don't have that ability.
They took off into space from the head office. One of them was performing an astronaut training mission, and the other was performing a supply mission to the Tiangong space station.
There is nothing to say about the training mission. It is basically a normalized mission, used for the company’s aerospace talent training, while the replenishment mission is interesting. It is the business scope of the leader company-a national space mission.
Although it’s not cost-effective to use an orbital shuttle to transport goods based on the transport ratio of a single mission, it can’t be supported and cheap!
Moreover, it is very convenient to use, and the preliminary preparations are simple. If the orbital shuttle ordered by the Tianxia national team is not still being manufactured, they will use the shuttle for this kind of space station replenishment mission.
It is conceivable that when they get the rail shuttle, they will definitely be changed to a dual-purpose passenger and cargo.
Of course, the shuttles of the Navigator are all dedicated. Passenger transport is passenger transport, freight transport is freight, and training is training. After all, dual-use means that neither model can be fully loaded.
The pure cargo version of the rail shuttle can carry 2.5 tons of cargo, although it is not comparable to the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft with a load of 6 tons, but from other aspects, its comprehensive price is simply too cheap.
Anyway, Tianxia has a technical reserve of cargo spacecraft, so I used and purchased the orbital shuttle of the leader company with confidence.
Even if the orbital shuttle is retired like the previous space shuttle, they still have a way to transport the cargo to the space station. There is no need to worry about encountering a situation similar to Merrican, that is, for a long time, astronauts will have to take other countries’ carriers to go to space. People spaceship.
The reason why the two orbital shuttles are now stopped here is because they have been assigned new tasks.
One is to land here. Check the landing and tower command capabilities of the new runway, as well as the repair and maintenance capabilities of the repair shop.
The second is to wait for the Starry Sky Inn to enter the space orbit, and then the orbital shuttle will take off from here, not only to check the take-off capability of the new runway, but also to deliver supplies to the Starry Sky Inn that just went up.
Navigator will not do the thing that waits a long time before delivering the supplies. The time when the Star Inn waits for the orbital shuttle to stop is enough for self-inspection. After completing the self-inspection, it can be replenishment. Can't pass, just let the shuttle land again.
The single-stage orbit reusable aircraft is so capricious!
