This communications satellite was undoubtedly lucky, and it operated until it ran out of fuel.

They did an external visual inspection of it and found out what caused the space agency's record anomaly in the first place, and all of them were hit.

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

Fortunately, the impact points are very small, and it is conceivable that the impactors should also be small, but also, if the impactors are large enough, they will not be able to see the satellite, and basically the wreckage is not easy to find.

So far, the space junk caused by the first business should be carried out in a big way, and many space facilities have been scrapped by space junk.

The collision between the space junk and the space junk will cause later impacts, but there will be no loss at that time.

There is a running space equipment that has been hit, which can make the space department feel distressed.

Not only will it be distressing, but it will also affect the development of the country, and even some small countries will launch a total of one satellite, and if it is hit all at once, it will return to the "pre-liberation period".

Don't think you don't think there isn't, it's true.

That was more than ten years ago, a country called Guado in South America finally sent a self-developed microsatellite called "Pegasus", about 10 centimeters long and wide, and weighing 1.2 kilograms, into space, played the Ecuadorian national anthem in space, and sent back space images to the ground.

It is the pride of Guado and a symbol of Guado's touch on space.

This tiny satellite was launched in Tianxia, but less than a month after it was put into orbit, it lost contact because of a collision with space junk.

After some time, the Guado space agency announced that after being loaded with space junk, the "Pegasus" did not depart from its original orbit, but the solar panels were damaged, the antenna "could not be oriented", and the satellite "circled wildly around two axes".

"The satellite went dizzy after the impact, but it's still there." said the head of Guardo's space agency.

Although they were still praying, everyone knew that their space pride was gone, and the symbol of touching space was gone, and after that, it could only be said that they had ...... Touched space.

The space symbol of a country is gone, but it is too small after all? The country in which it is located is also small? So it receives limited attention.

For a long time, the International Space Station was the largest man-made object in space. There is also a greater chance of being hit.

Large chunks of space junk are being monitored? Can you give early warning? The ISS can be maneuvered and dodged in advance, but some tiny space junk cargo is not easy to monitor and dodge.

It's hard to say on the shell of other cabins? If you don't go out, you can't see it basically, unless you hit it directly? But the watchtower of the International Space Station is clearly visible.

The watchtower is a protruding observation pod made of several portholes, which is nothing to see from a distance, but if you look closely, you will see that there are dense scratches on the top and some tiny impact craters.

One of the more famous is a photograph taken by an on-site astronaut of an impact crater about 7 mm in diameter on a porthole.

This is very dangerous for the space station, because no one has ever found this small impact crater before? It wasn't until someone went to the "viewing window" to observe that they accidentally discovered this small impact crater.

Didn't even realize that the space station was hit? Although it didn't crash through this time? But it is also a very dangerous phenomenon.

If it is not treated? Could it be that the space station will be hit with a hole by something that doesn't know what it is someday? And then none of the astronauts on the space station could escape.

But as astronauts, there is nothing they can do, because this is not something that a few of them can solve, so what can they do? It's just that some agreements are signed before going into space, which are not open to the public.

Now, it seems that things are finally getting better.

The Navigator is starting to do it in earnest.

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

"I hope that the experiment between the Navigator and the Tianxia Space Agency can be successful."

"Well, if they succeed, it's also a guarantee of our safety, so we don't have to pray every time we go into space."

"By the way, our International Space Station is indeed seriously aging, when will we be able to live in the new space station?"

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

"I don't know if we have a chance to go inside, and I don't know if the other side has any plans to cooperate with the other side......"

Just 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 tear down damaged modules, they have to tear down outdated equipment.

For more than ten years, some equipment has been updated quickly, such as solar panels, which have been updated for several generations, and this upgrade will definitely replace the new solar panels.

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

Not only because it is advanced, but also because the old solar panel in the place where it was hit before is also shared, it has also been hit with a hole, resulting in a decrease in the conversion power of the solar panel, plus other messy reasons, the degree of decline is not small.

So, it has to be replaced with a new one.

Even if you don't want to see broken solar panels because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, you have to replace them with new ones.

When they actually got started, they felt like this kind of thing was really ...... Very simple.

Even the upgrade package they hammered out on the ground is not 100% suitable.

Because the situation in space is really different.

Why do they have to be careful when building satellites on the ground, some structures have to be discussed repeatedly, because this satellite is not built and can be used, and it has to go through a period of "violent transportation" in the middle, and many of its structures are used to deal with this.

However, when upgrading satellites in space, the problem of "violent transportation" is basically not considered.

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

So they can be a little more daring to upgrade their satellites!

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

They're going to get in touch with the ground, and they might be able to build a new satellite in space.

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

Satellites of the same model as it have already entered the atmosphere and burned up, some are about to be "scrapped", and some have not been successfully launched.

If this can get off to a good start, then it will be much easier for those satellites to be repaired and upgraded in the future.

Especially those who were not successfully launched for various reasons, obviously entered orbit, but did not run for even a day, which is a great loss.

Now, there is hope that they will be re-listed.

They thought of it, and so did a lot of people.

"Good guys, because of the problems of the rocket or the satellite itself, there are indeed some satellites in the earth's orbit that do not work, and if they can be repaired, it will be too resource-saving."

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