Human beings have not yet built a space orbital platform that is too large, and it is impossible to make anything in space, so Tang Chao has built a larger space orbital platform this time, which can do some experiments in industrial manufacturing and lay the foundation for a real space manufacturing plant in the future.

The industrial area of the Tianting space station is for this, and the manufacturing center on the large axis can produce some standard industrial parts, and can also use 3D printing to manufacture some special-shaped small parts for the next track maintenance factory.

There are two orbital repair shops, installed on either side of the manufacturing center, and they are large structures with separate cabins that can be opened like the cargo hold of the space shuttle, except that they are larger, reaching 12 meters in diameter and 30 meters in length.

Ahem, yes, there are changes in the Tianting Industrial Zone module, although the plan was made at the beginning, but the plan is ...... Isn't it just for changing?

Originally, the diameter of the industrial zone was about 8 meters, but then it felt smaller, so it was revised.

Some modules with complex functions are produced by the navigator itself, so there is no fear of modifying the data, the company has a general design drawing, and then modify it.

Those companies that have already received production orders will not be affected, and the Navigator will dock what they have built to the Heavenly Court space station suitably.

There are a lot of space version of maintenance equipment in the maintenance cabin of the maintenance module, and the inside can be pressurized after the hatch cover is closed, so you only need to wear a lightweight cabin spacesuit to work, which is very convenient.

After the expansion of the internal space, the repair shop can repair not only satellites, but also larger space station cabins.

Even the Luna spacecraft can be tucked directly into a single maintenance bay for maintenance and repair.

If you think about it, the diameter of a maintenance cabin alone has reached 12 meters, and the length is also 30 meters, the Long March 9 and Yuanhang cannot carry it at all, and a larger rocket is definitely needed.

So...... Have it?

Of course!

The navigator is no longer the previous navigator, after the company is all built, Tang Chao is not expanding, and he can come up with a kind of aerospace equipment needed at this stage for production and manufacturing at any time.

But don't worry, after the release of the rocket on the space station, how can a transport vehicle dominate.

The Luna spacecraft can go directly into the maintenance module, but the space station module and satellite do not have the ability to change orbits and move over long distances, so the industrial area will be equipped with two space boats at that time.

If there are satellites that need to be repaired, after getting orders from the corresponding companies and corresponding space agencies, the maintenance plant can send a small boat to receive it, then tow it back to the orbital maintenance plant, and then put it back in the same way after repairing it to ensure that the service is in place.

Artificial satellites are very valuable resources, sometimes just hit by tiny meteorites and space junk and scrapped, in fact, it is possible that only a small part has been damaged, and it has not been able to repair it before, and a small part is equivalent to the whole thing being scrapped.

After the Heavenly Court Space Station is built, there will be no problem, and it can be repaired directly if necessary.

In addition to repair and maintenance? It is also possible to upgrade Sputnik.

After all, the planet is changing with each passing day? Some satellites still have a long lifespan? But the equipment can't keep up with the demand, if there is an orbital maintenance plant, the parts that can be printed in space will be printed? Can't print on the ground to make or buy? Then it will be sent up either by car or by special use of space equipment.

When the time comes, upgrade the outdated satellites, do some maintenance, and become beautiful again, and continue to revolve around the earth.

Won't the dinghy be idle when there are no maintenance tasks? Have said that satellites are valuable resources, not only are they in operation? Even those that are scrapped and turned into space junk are the same.

The cost of transporting materials from Earth to space is high, even if you have mastered the recycling technology of rockets, and now the capabilities of the moon base are limited? Scientific research and experimentation are its main task now, and it is simply impossible to provide various materials for the Earth orbiting space station.

So space equipment that has been sent into space, and has been scrapped, and has not yet crashed into the atmosphere and burned up, is the perfect source of materials.

Just send a spacecraft to collect them and throw them into the material recovery area of the orbital fabrication center, and after a while, the various materials will be sent to the fabrication area.

This also has the advantage of recycling materials while cleaning up the Earth's orbit, reducing the risk of satellites, space stations, and spacecraft in service being hit by space junk.

As for where the fuel for the space boat will come from, or even where the fuel for satellites and other vehicles will come from after maintenance, this is the lunar base plan.

That is, Tianxia is now undergoing a plan on the moon.

In order to make the Heavenly Court space station operate completely and conveniently, the cooperation of the lunar base is indispensable.

Transporting fuel from the Moon to Earth's orbit is about dozens of times cheaper than transporting fuel from the Earth's ground to space orbit, which is the advantage that the Moon has no atmosphere and extremely low gravity.

Once transported, it is stored in four spherical fuel storage tanks at the back of the manufacturing center, where the refueling station is located.

When the Tianting space station plan was formulated, whether a large number of "ice cube ores" could be found on the moon was the key.

And now, none of this is a problem.

After all, there is a spacecraft on the lunar base that uses the fuel extracted from the lunar ice to fly back to the earth's orbit, which is the famous Luna Earth-Moon spacecraft.

So you see, everything is going well.

As for the commercial area in the middle, it goes without saying, it is the supreme upgraded version of the Star Inn.

It can play what it can play in the Star Inn, and it can play what it can't play in the Star Inn, and the play experience, the supreme upgrade, this ...... It is the commercial area of the Tianting Space Station.

If aerospace professionals look at scientific research areas and industrial areas, then the majority of netizens look at commercial areas, and according to the proportion of the number of people, the attention of commercial areas is off the charts.

There's no way, most people can't understand things that are highly professional, so you can only look at things related to play.

People found that there is a space court in the commercial area, and the rules are similar to those of ball games on Earth, all of which are goals and scores, but its way of movement is really too much in line with the characteristics of space.

Ball games on the earth are all running on the ground, you just jump up when you are out of breath, and there is also the title of "flyer" when you play basketball, but in fact, it is a long time in the air, but when you play in space, you can really fly.

Super trapeze per capita.

Not only do players have to fly, but they also have to fly fast and accurately, so they need to use their strength on the six walls of the room, then quickly intercept the ball, throw it again, and repeat these actions in a loop until the ball is thrown into the opponent's hole.

You can see basketball, handball, volleyball, and even billiards and other ball games on the court, which is quite interesting.

Tang Chao talked for a long time before he finished talking about the space station, and after saying this, the reporters at the scene thought that Tang Chao's explanation session was over, and it was time for them to ask questions.

As a result, when they had to raise their hands and wait for being selected to ask questions, they saw Tang Chao slowly unscrew the water bottle and take a sip of water, then changed the explanation diagram, and then started the lecture.

The new illustration seems to be a new rocket, a bit like the Starship rocket of the Merriken Space Fork, but it is a little different.

It has its own name next to it, called "Moving Mountain"!

Moving Mountains Super Rocket!

20 meters in diameter!

160 meters high!

The carrying capacity in low earth orbit is 280 tons!
