Super technology leader

This communication satellite is undoubtedly lucky, it has been running until it runs out of fuel.

Everyone performed an external visual inspection on it, and found the situation that caused the space agency's record to be abnormal. Without exception, it was hit.

Some were knocked through, some were cut with a small opening, and some only hit a small hole.

Fortunately, the impact points are very small, and it is conceivable that the impactor should be very small, but also, if the impactor is large enough, they will not be able to see the satellite. Basically, the debris is hard to find.

So far, the impact of space junk has not been small at all, and many space facilities have been scrapped by space junk.

Those space junk colliding with the space junk will cause later effects, but at least there will be no loss at that time.

If a space equipment in operation was hit, that would hurt the space department.

Not only will it feel distressed, but it will also affect the country's development. Even some small countries have launched a satellite in total. If they are hit all at once, they will return to "before liberation".

Don't think there is no such thing, it is true.

That was still more than ten years ago. A country called Guadoo in South America finally sent a self-developed tiny satellite named "Pegasus" with a length of about 10 cm and a weight of 1.2 kg into space. The Guaduo national anthem is played in space and space images are sent back to the ground.

It is the pride of Guado and the symbol of Guado's touching space.

This tiny satellite was launched into space in Tianxia, ​​and it was less than a month into orbit, because it lost contact with space junk.

After a while, the Guado Space Agency announced that after being loaded by space junk, the "Pegasus" did not deviate from the original orbit, but the solar panels were damaged, the antenna "cannot be directed", and the satellite "rotated wildly around two axes." .

"The satellite turned dizzy after the impact, but it's still there," said Guado's Director of Space Administration.

Although they are still praying, everyone knows that their space pride is gone, and the symbol of touching space is gone. After that, they can only say that they have...touched space.

The space symbol of a country is gone, but it is too small after all, and the country it is in is also small, so it has received limited attention.

For a long time, the International Space Station has been the largest man-made object in space. With a large size, the probability of being hit is also high.

Large chunks of space junk are under surveillance, and early warning can be provided to allow the International Space Station to maneuver to dodge in advance, but some tiny space junk goods are not easy to monitor and dodge.

It’s hard to say on the shells of other cabins. You can’t see them unless you go out, unless you hit them directly, but the watchtower of the International Space Station is clearly visible.

The observation tower is a protruding observation cabin made up of several portholes. It doesn't matter if you look far away, but if you look closer, you will find dense scratches and some tiny impact craters.

The more famous one is a photo taken by a stationed astronaut, which is an impact crater with a diameter of about 7 mm on the porthole.

This is very dangerous for the space station, because no one has found this small impact crater before, and it was not discovered accidentally until someone went to the "viewing window" to observe.

I didn't even realize that the space station was hit. Although I didn't hit it this time, it was a very dangerous phenomenon.

If not dealt with, the space station is likely to be hit by something you don't know what it is, and then no one of the space station's astronauts can run away.

But as astronauts, they have nothing to do, because this is not something they can solve, so all they can do is to sign some non-public agreements before entering space.

Now, things seem to be finally getting better.

The navigator began to do this seriously.

And the astronauts watching the live broadcast on the International Space Station can think of the scars on the International Space Station from the scars on that satellite.

"I hope that the pilot and Tianxia Space Agency's experiment can be successful."

"Well, their success is also a guarantee for our safety. There is no need to pray every time we enter space."

"In other words, our International Space Station is indeed seriously aging. When can we live in the new space station?"

"I don't know, there are only a few small commercial space station projects in the world, and then Tian Xia's Tian Ting project, God, it is simply a space giant."

"I don't know if we have a chance to go inside, or if there is any plan to cooperate with the other side..."

When the astronauts of the International Space Station were looking forward to it, Tang Chao had already started to dismantle the satellite.

They have to remove the damaged modules and the outdated equipment.

For more than ten years, some equipment has been updated very quickly, such as solar panels, which have been updated for several generations. This upgrade will definitely require new solar panels.

It can provide more power and higher voltage with a smaller wingspan.

Not only is it advanced, but the old solar panel where it was hit before is also part of it. It was also hit by a hole, which caused the conversion power of the solar panel to drop. Coupled with other messy reasons, the drop is not small.

Therefore, it must be replaced with a new one.

Even if it is because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, you do not want to see broken solar panels, you have to replace them.

When they get started, they feel that this kind of thing is indeed... very simple.

Even the upgrade plan they finalized on the ground is not 100% suitable.

Because the space situation is really different.

Why do they need to be cautious when building satellites on the ground? Some structures need to be discussed repeatedly, because this satellite cannot be built to be used, and it will go through a period of "violent transportation". Many of the structures in it are used Cope with this.

But to upgrade satellites in space, the issue of "violent transportation" basically doesn't need to be considered.

Because here is already in a microgravity environment, there is no need to super-accelerate in order to get rid of gravity, and there is no thick atmosphere here, and there will be no violent friction. Of course, the impact of various vibrations, shaking, and acceleration will be much smaller.

So they can be a little bolder in their satellite upgrades!

This situation caused them to dismantle everything that could be dismantled, leaving only the satellite frame intact, and they stopped temporarily.

They need to contact the ground, they may be able to make a new version of the ultimate magical modified version of the satellite in space.

If this can be changed, it is not a matter of one satellite, it will be many satellites.

Some of the satellites of the same model have entered the atmosphere and burnt down, some are about to be "scrapped", and some were not launched successfully.

If this can make a good start, then it will be much easier to repair and upgrade those satellites.

Especially those who failed to launch successfully for various reasons, clearly entered orbit, but haven't been in operation for even one day, it is simply a shame.

Now they have hope of re-entry.

They thought of it, and many people thought of it.

"Good guy, because of the problems of the rocket or the satellite itself, there are indeed some satellites in the earth's orbit that are not working. If it can be repaired, it will save resources."

"Yes, the materials used to make satellites are very precious. If they can be repaired and put into use again, it will be worthy of the hard work of the scientists and the original mission of the satellite!"
