The rebirth or rebirth of an artificial satellite is not so simple.

Because of the participation of Navigator Space, people can intuitively see the process of scientific research engineers building satellites, which seems to be very simple, that is, to install some things prepared in advance.

In fact, this is only seen, shown in front of the camera, and behind the camera, the engineers have a lot of work to do, and even these engineers in front of the camera are simply not enough, and there are a lot of people, facilities and resources around this artificial satellite.

However, for the first time, mankind has upgraded artificial satellites in outer space, which does not seem to be difficult, and it also gives more people confidence.

Confidence in the face of the universe and the future of mankind!

There is even some thinking, in the future, can human beings make satellites directly in space?

It is of course difficult to manufacture directly from scratch in space, after all, the manufacturing equipment in space now is only the manufacturing center of the Tianting Space Station, and its overall size is only more than 30 meters by more than 10 meters, which may not be as large as a production equipment on the ground.

There is also some manufacturing equipment in the lunar base, but it is smaller than the manufacturing center, and one manufacturing center can last for several months.

By the way, there are also a couple of small 3D printers in the International Space Station and Tiangong, which are even smaller.

In fact, what people think about is that the parts production stage is still carried out on the ground, after all, there is a perfect production system on the ground, and it is stupid to abandon it.

If the whole satellite is transported from the ground to space, there are too many things to consider, so much so that a large part of it is not necessary for the artificial satellite to operate in space, but in order to transport the whole satellite from the ground to space, those things are necessary.

If it is just a part, the structural strength of the parts of the monomer must be much greater than that of the artificial satellite, as long as it is packed, then it can be sent into space violently.

For satellite assembly in space, those auxiliary structures related to "violent transportation" are definitely not needed, so the same platform can be equipped with more equipment, so that the proportion of practical functions of the satellite can be increased to the maximum.

But this has to be redesigned, and it may not come out for a while.

However, the test is carried out directly in space, and the test items are scrapped or semi-scrapped satellite platforms, and the cost does not seem to be large, and it can be carried out completely!

It's a good way forward!

Soon, after the first space upgrade assembly satellite of Navigator and Tianxia was shipped out of the maintenance module and was running normally, everyone felt very happy, and human space technology had taken a big step forward.

It is said on the news how dangerous the earth is and how bad the environment is, but for ordinary human beings, no matter how bad the environment of the earth is, compared to other planets in the solar system, it is simply heaven, as if the development of space technology is not very important.

But humans are a race that likes to watch the excitement, so they are also very excited when space technology continues to move forward.

They also want to see what's in the mysterious space.

For example, in the three-body galaxy next door, is there a three-body person?

Because the galaxy next door is the closest to the solar system, human beings have the most reverie.

After all, even the nearest star system, people have analyzed that with the level of human aerospace technology, it will take at least a few hundred years to fly over.

Hundreds of years......

At that time, I really couldn't imagine what the state of the human world would be.

At least for now, the recovery of resources in Earth's orbit has begun.

However, because the communication is problematic, the Navigator is currently cooperating with Tianxia to salvage Tianxia's satellites, revive them, and upgrade them.

They worked quite fast, repairing four satellites in half a month.

This includes the first satellite to be redesigned from scratch, which took 10 days.

The reason why we can build four satellites in half a month is because some satellites do not need to go to the same great trouble as it, and some satellites just need to be refueled once.

At present, the fuel problem can already be taken over by the lunar base, after all, at the beginning, it was only to provide fuel supply for satellites and "worker bee" spacecraft, and the daily consumption is not high, and the supply of the lunar base is nothing to do.

Regardless of the fact that these fuels need to be transported from the moon by a lunar spacecraft, their delivery costs are much smaller than that of the Earth "close at hand".

In the end, this is still a question of gravity and the atmosphere.

With plenty of fuel, the engineering spacecraft can go out on waves every day, and they, well, that's it, because within a few days, another maintenance bay was lifted off, so the two engineering ships were ready.

In addition to transporting complete satellites, they will also pile up space junk in orbit for salvage and then transport it back.

Most of the basis for the operation of the two maintenance pods is the manufacturing center, after all, it cannot always be transported from the ground to the sky, since it is necessary to explore the possibility of human survival in space, then the manufacturing center must be self-sufficient.

Space junk cannot be transported back at will, because it has its own owner, and every spacecraft launch on Earth is recorded, so it cannot be found randomly.

At present, there is nothing to do with Tianxia here, after signing an agreement, the completely scrapped aerospace equipment will be recycled directly, and the useless items can be dismantled and thrown directly into the electric furnace, and it is just right to test the microgravity smelting project.

Some space junk can't do it, because it's complete, the authority is very clear, which country belongs to which country it belongs to, but some things that are smashed, it's hard to say.

For example, a piece of solar energy and a piece of a solar panel that doesn't have any identification on it can be pulled back for recycling.

Even if it is a marked wreckage, it is not much of a problem, and after getting it back, it is thrown directly into the furnace, and what comes out is the material.

As long as there is no beacon on it, it will not let the original authority country know that it coincides with the location of the manufacturing center of the Heavenly Court space station.

Anyway, their current strategy is that they can't do complete abandoned satellites, and other wreckage without beacons can be salvaged and thrown into the furnace.

Because the worker bee spacecraft has come and gone back and forth enough, more and more astronauts have entered the manufacturing center and the maintenance module to work, and they sometimes take some photos or videos of the industrial area, and then process it by Navigator Space and upload it to the Internet, and people have a more comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing and maintenance center.

Navigator Space is moving quite quickly, and the industrial zone is almost 80% complete.

Of course, the main thing is that the Yishanha rocket and the design plan are reliable, although the industrial area looks large, but it has a fairly small number of transports, and the individual modules are large, so it is enough to launch the Yishan rocket only a few times.

Now it has a manufacturing center and two maintenance bays, and later eight huge heat dissipation plates were added to dissipate heat from the manufacturing center.

It was 100% 100% off eight huge fuel storage tanks.

But that's not in a hurry, after all, there aren't so many spaceships in space now, and there aren't so many long-distance space missions, so you don't need a lot of fuel supplies.

The refueling of small equipment can be directly used in the maintenance module, and it can also store a lot of fuel, which is enough for the maintenance and refueling of two small engineering spacecraft and satellites.

In a way, the combination of the manufacturing center, the maintenance cabin and the radiator is actually not large, the length and width are only about 50 meters by 40 meters, but the whole row of solar cells spread out on the manufacturing center is really large.

It is 120 meters long and 40 meters wide, so at some angles on the ground, the effect of a telephoto lens camera is about the size of the International Space Station, at most the "light spots" in the industrial area appear a little more elongated.

In the end, it still didn't dock with the current Tiangong space station, even though its large axis interface looked like it could dock with the large axis interface of a rotating gravity simulation module.

It chose to operate independently, which also proves some people's previous suspicions.

It will be built independently, and the final final docking will take place after the commercial area has been built.

In fact...... The Navigator company doesn't want to do this, it also wants to finish smoothly.

From the very beginning of the docking, and then little by little from less to more, the same construction is completed.

Instead of building independent modules first, and then docking to form the Heavenly Court Space Station, as is the case now.

The topic here appears that the Heavenly Court Space Station is a giant project for men, a giant project that can give birth to many companies.

The Navigator has many peers in the country, many private space companies, but they are not so much peers as the Navigator is the thigh, and they are the pendants on this thigh.

The level of development and science and technology on both sides are really no longer on the same line, and they are too far behind the leader.

They have their own core technologies, and as long as they are given a little more time, they will grow into a private space company with their own unique technology, which can enter the international market and fight for testing.

But, the navigator appeared.

Its technology is comparable to those private aerospace companies, which is simply a dimensionality reduction blow, that is, because Tang Chao is the boss of the navigator, and he is a Tianxia person, so he understands the dilemma of facing the future situation alone.

So he also agreed to support other aerospace companies, and also pulled the national team out to do the "escape" of technology together.

It's just that we can't blindly sell technology, "it's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish", only when these private aerospace companies digest the technology they have escaped, and summarize their own new technologies, the whole process can be considered complete, and those private space companies can be regarded as growing.

Now that's it, those companies got the order for the Tianting space station, and when digesting and absorbing foreign technology, they constantly sought breakthroughs, so that they could have their own new technologies, and jointly play the role of "everyone" in the "everyone picks up firewood and the flame is high" for the direction of human spaceflight, instead of the big guy making a pile of firewood and coming back, and after lighting the bonfire, they send a barrage next to them.

"Wow, yes!"

“666666！”

"Big guy cow pie!"

"Kneel!"

It is very unhealthy for a society as a whole to work with only one person to do the work, and it is very dangerous to tie all the future to one person.

Tang Chao also understands this truth, although he has a golden finger, and for a while he thought he was the protagonist, but then he became sober and felt that the future of the world was indeed a bit unreliable for him.

It's like a country that has produced a rich man, or even the richest man in the world, but everyone in the country is poor except for him, so is this a developed country?

Apparently not.

This is certainly a deformed society.

Tang Chao didn't think very highly of himself, he didn't want that kind of world, mainly except that he was poor, who did he play with?

Can billionaires have a common language with the poor, who struggle to even get enough to eat every day?

That kind of world must be boring, unless the richest man is a pervert.

But Tang Chao is obviously not a pervert.

Therefore, human civilization must develop in an all-round way, even if it cannot be truly comprehensive for various reasons, it is still possible to be relatively comprehensive, and it is really not suitable for a one-man development.

Maybe one day this lone show will be cut off, leaving only the lawn full of yards.

The flowers are gone, and no one cares about the yard, and the lawn slowly becomes weeded, and finally piles up, and no one pays attention to it, and the yard must be dilapidated.

It's just waiting for someone, which is really unpleasant.

The industrial zone on the Navigator's side is almost finished, and when the eight fuel tanks are completed, they can be transported in four times, and the progress of the entire industrial zone will reach 100% by then.

As long as the moon base gives a force point, the fuel supply station in the Earth's orbit can be opened.

In the commercial district, there was no sign of a launch.

By the way, it's not that there is nothing, there are still some of them, that is, those two large rotating gravity simulation ring cabins.

They are real ring cabins, and all of them are simulated gravity cabins, and the small and medium-sized ones are not comparable to them at all.

Similarly, large rotating gravity simulation chambers are more difficult to manufacture and assemble.

Therefore, their manufacturing company is Navigator Aerospace.

Large simulated gravity capsules and large fuel tanks are the work of the Navigator, after which they are launched and assembled in space as planned, which is a later matter for the Navigator.

In addition, the Heavenly Court Space Station has to wait for other companies, and the navigator will certainly not be idle.

"The moon base needs to be hurried, new fuel-making equipment needs to be launched, and the process of special vehicles for transporting fuel must also be accelerated."

Tang Chao sat on the main seat of the conference room and talked eloquently, talking about the mission goals they only wanted.

"The Yishan rocket is already a mature technology, and it should not be difficult to change its launch vehicle into a fuel transporter that flies to the moon and regional orbits, and it will enter the earth's atmosphere, and I need it to focus on the transportation project between the moon and the earth's orbit like the moon spacecraft."

"At the moment, orders from other private space companies are producing according to plan, but they are too slow for us, so we have to open new projects in addition to the projects I mentioned earlier."

"We have to make the next stop," Tang Chao said with a little screen, and a red planet was simultaneously displayed on the big screen.

"Mars!"
