Chapter 721: Satellite Life!

In order to provide satellites to Huaxia Satellite Communications Company and to circumvent the censorship of the United States, Motorola also set up a satellite company in Hong Kong, and Huaxia Satellite Communications Company cooperated with the engineers of this satellite company through technical exchanges.

For this reason, Huaxia Satellite Communications Company has to pay tens of millions of satellite patent fees to Motorola, a satellite company, every year.

On the basis of absorbing these technology patents, Huaxia Satellite Communications Company is also developing the next generation of satellite platform technology, and has now become the best company in China in satellite platform technology.

With the technical support of the Huaxing Group Company, the Huaxia Satellite Communications Company has developed the most advanced satellite communications technology in contemporary times, and the military naturally attaches great importance to this.

With this high-speed communications network covering the world, the military can have a dedicated high-speed communications network that can be used around the world, and can respond and deploy very quickly.

Although these satellites have completed ground tests, they will not be considered a preliminary success until they are networked after they are launched, and there are various variables in between, and no one can guarantee that the launch will be successful.

However, the communication capability of the satellite developed by Huaxia Satellite Communications Company in the ground test made the high-level people extremely shocked!

At the beginning, the total communication capacity design target of Huaxia Communication Satellite Company was 200G, but as a result, Huaxing Group has been improving its communication technology for more than two years, and the total capacity of the latest satellite communication has been increased to 1200G!

Originally, the satellite was designed to be 1,200 watts, but thanks to the use of gallium nitride solar panels, the power has now been increased to 2,500 watts!

The number of R&D personnel of Huaxing Group has exceeded more than 100,000 people, and this number is still growing, the ability to transform technology patents into products is already very strong, a large number of technology patents will emerge every year, and then many subsidiaries are enjoying these technology patents.

Priority to use the most advanced technology patents is the tradition of Huaxing Group Company, the whole company's technology update speed is extremely fast, basically maintain five or six years to develop and produce a comprehensive update of the equipment, these replaced equipment Huaxing Group will be presented to domestic university laboratories.

It is also the rapid technological update speed of Huaxing Group that Huaxia Satellite Communications Company has launched almost four continuously improved prototypes in more than two years.

Yang Jie's idea is that the production line of Huaxia Satellite Communications Company to produce satellites should at least reach the historical production record of 1 to 1.5 satellites per week when Motorola was in the factory.

Only by realizing the large-scale production of satellites can the production cost of satellites be reduced, and now the domestic satellite assembly is basically assembled by hand, the efficiency is very low, and the life of the satellites produced is very short.

After the establishment of Huaxia Satellite Communications Company, Yang Jie required the design life of satellites in orbit to be more than 12 years, which forced the R&D team to work the production and manufacturing of satellite components, used a lot of advanced testing and testing equipment and established a set of very strict testing and testing processes and standards, which are basically on par with the Motorola satellite production line, or even more stringent.

Such a set of standards alone makes 60 or 70 percent of the components provided by domestic research institutes unable to meet the standards.

In order to improve the quality of the supply of these research institutions, Yang Jie directly sent some high-precision advanced production equipment to these research institutes to improve the life of parts, especially the production and manufacturing of ion thrusters and hydrogen atomic clocks are very demanding.

In the previous life, Motorola spent two years to build dozens of Iridium stars, and 20 years later, more than half of the first batch of Iridium stars are still in a usable state, more than double the design life, which shows that Motorola has a first-class level in satellite design and manufacturing.

High-quality, tenacious satellites are the basis for the rebirth of the Iridium system, and it is also the first successful attempt to manufacture satellites in large quantities in the history of aerospace.

Motorola wants to join this project this time, and naturally it has to come up with some of its own housekeeping skills, from satellite design and manufacturing to various test standards, it has taught Huaxia Satellite Communications Company.

Motorola has always wanted to become an important satellite manufacturer, and has also designed and developed communication satellites for the satellite Internet of Tridesick, which is backed by media magnate Craig McCaw and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, including Saudi Prince Alwaleed Talal, Boeing and Motorola, but the project is still yellow.

At this time, Motorola, which was in deep trouble, also had a request from Huaxing Group Company, so it was willing to come up with these satellite technology patents to cooperate, and dispatched a group of technical experts who had participated in the Tridesick and Iridium projects to help Huaxia Satellite Communications Company establish a complete set of satellite design, development, production and ground station infrastructure construction.

In addition, this company has also established a satellite-scale production line in China with Huaxia Satellite Communications Company, and this company also holds 15% of the shares.

It is precisely because of such a master as Motorola that Huaxia Satellite Communications Company has made a qualitative improvement in the design, development, production and manufacturing level of the satellite platform in the past few years.

Yang Jie talks to Zhang Kelong and Vice Premier Zeng Jiabao, who is in charge of Guó Zī Wěi, in an office.

"Your Huaxing Group Company can let Motorola find a way to circumvent Washington's restrictions and provide all kinds of technical support to Huaxia Satellite Communications Company, which has really played a huge role in promoting the country's aerospace industry. ”

Zeng Jiabao nodded and said.

"Chief Zeng, the current Motorola company also has a request for our company, and they can enjoy a lot of benefits for us to help us develop satellite technology. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

"You don't have to be so modest, if you don't have two brushes yourself, how can Motorola come up with real skills. ”

Zhang Kelong said with a smile.

"That's just as well!"

Zeng Jiabao nodded with a smile.

Everyone in the conference room laughed.

"Motorola's previous design and development of satellites have been launched for almost eight years, and now the network of these satellites is operating normally, and the design life of the satellites they make is five years, and now it has long exceeded the design life, and their quality control is really very good. ”

Zhang Kelong looked at Yang Jie, "You have studied with Motorola for several years in Huaxia Satellite Communications, how long can you guarantee the life of the satellite?"

"Our design life is more than ten years, but for satellites working in outer space, there are many factors that affect its service life, satellites in low earth orbit, and air friction will reduce the speed, the speed will fall after a critical point, in addition to the occasional failure of the satellite, if not repaired in time, it will shorten the life of the satellite plus the harsh environment in outer space, will accelerate the loss of satellite parts, we are also trying our best, the satellite voice carries a certain base of spare parts, if you encounter a major failure to replace the parts directly, with the ability to self-repair, as long as it does not appear in space by space junk hit by such a situation, the design life of the satellite can still be achieved. ”

Yang Jie nodded and said.
