Chapter 146: A Year Plan

Leaving Shanghai, Hua Kejing began to fly around the country again.

In order to complete at least 30 air-space transports on time, as well as the task of creating an experimental-class space station in Earth orbit.

He has to move back and forth between supply chains and production lines, not including additional communication with various administrations.

The Spring Festival holiday has just ended,

As the core business department of Muyu Aerospace, Beiming Aerospace Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is a joint venture with the Chinese national team, has officially launched the Chongming Bird series rocket engine super factory project, and plans to land in Lucheng High-tech Development Zone.

As a high-tech manufacturing super factory, the construction of the basic plant of Beiming Aerospace Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. usually takes at least one to two years to complete.

However, with the full support of the Lucheng City Government and the Management Committee of the High-tech Development Zone, Li Chenjing and Mao Xianyu patted their chests and personally led the construction team of Yijing Construction from February 15th to May 15th.

Just three months after the beginning and the end of the year, the construction of the North Aerospace Equipment Super Factory was successfully completed at an astonishing speed.

There's no way, who let the boss of Muyu Aerospace be from a construction background.

Who made Beiming Aerospace Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. their own son?

Of course, in the process of building the Beiming Aerospace Equipment Super Factory, the Yinglong series of rockets were not idle.

Because the supply chain is not perfect enough, and the run-in with the third-party production line needs to be improved,

Therefore, even if Hua Kejing is stubbornly grasping the progress, it can only guarantee the completion of the launch mission once a month.

Although there is still a distance from the 2.5 launch missions per month, as long as the North Aerospace Equipment Super Factory can be successfully completed and put into operation in the first half of the year, Huake is confident that it will catch up with the progress of the launch mission that has fallen behind.

February 23, 2023.

Muyu Aerospace's Yinglong heavy-duty carrier rocket carried out the second test launch, and on the premise of successfully recovering the rocket, a test capsule of Muyu Aerospace and two test satellites of Huaxia Aerospace Science and Industry were successfully sent into the predetermined orbit.

……

March 19, 2023.

The Yinglong heavy-lift launch vehicle, which received a commercial mission for the first time, was successfully launched again and successfully recovered.

In addition to its own test equipment, Yinglong will also weigh a heavy

The 5-ton UAE communications satellite and three commercial satellites of African countries were successfully launched into orbit.

……

April 15, 2023.

Muyu Aerospace's Yinglong heavy-lift carrier rocket was successfully launched for the fourth time and successfully delivered to the Huaxia manned space station - Tiangong with more than 6 tons of cargo and materials.

The Tiangong space station is designed and manufactured by the Chinese national team, with a life span of 10 years, a long-term residence of 3 people, and a total weight of 90 tons.

The flight orbit of the Tiangong space station is at an altitude of kilometers with an inclination angle.

There are two reasons for choosing such a height.

1. If it is lower than 300 km, although the replenishment spacecraft will save a lot of fuel, because the orbit altitude is relatively low, the thin atmosphere here has great resistance, and the fuel to maintain the orbit will exceed several times that of the 400KM orbit.

2. If the orbit is set higher, although the orbit maintenance will save a lot of fuel, the cost of resupplying the spacecraft will rise significantly.

Therefore, the orbit of more than 400 kilometers is actually the result of a compromise.

In addition, the reason why the manned space station should not be too high is that the high orbit will pass through the Van Allen radiation belt. That is: the band of high-energy charged particles of the sun (generally a few MeV of high-energy electrons and a few hundred MeV of protons) captured by the geomagnetic field!

Under normal circumstances, ordinary spacecraft would try to avoid crossing this radiation belt.

If the track must require this, then special protective measures need to be made!

To sum up, compared to the International Space Station, which will be decommissioned in a year, the Tiangong space station is much more pragmatic.

PS: With a length of 110 meters, a width of 88 meters and a total mass of more than 400 tons, the ISS project is jointly built, operated and used by 16 countries, making it the largest, longest and most international space cooperation project in history. The construction was officially started in 1998, and the construction task was completed in 2010 and transferred to the stage of full use. But I thought that the space station without Huaxia should not be called the International Space Station.

Of course, this is also for the sake of the total cost of operation in the future, after all, the high cost of construction and maintenance of the International Space Station is a bit difficult for participating countries to ride.

In addition, the return on investment in the aerospace field is very low, and it often takes a very long period to be presented, not to mention that there are many projects that are basic science investment, that is, the kind of meat buns beating dogs, so this kind of investment that looks lofty but illusory has to make people very cautious!

It is worth mentioning that the Tiangong space station has just completed the in-orbit assembly two months ago, and Muyu Aerospace has contracted the business of delivering express delivery to it.

There is no way, who makes the launch cost of Yinglong's heavy-lift launch vehicle relatively low.

……

May 8, 2023.

The Yinglong heavy-lift carrier rocket was once again successfully launched under the attention of the world, this time carrying 66 commercial satellites into space, and perfectly completed the mission of 66 satellites with one arrow.

The 66 satellites are all from a German commercial company, which, like the old American Space X, is also preparing a satellite Internet project.

After this successful launch, Deutsche signed a six-year package launch plan of 3,300 satellites with Muyu Aerospace.

There's no way, the package discount is too big, and even the upright German brother can't resist the temptation.

……

May 15, 2023.

A week after the last launch, in order to celebrate the successful completion of the Beiming Aerospace Equipment Gigafactory, the Yinglong heavy-lift launch vehicle was launched again.

At the celebration on the same day, Hua Kejing, the head of Muyu Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., announced to the media: Chongmingniao's new liquid rocket engine No. 1 officially began production and received orders from all over the world. At the same time, the R&D and manufacturing of the Chongmingniao No. 2 rocket engine and the new generation of Yinglong rocket have also been carried out smoothly.

……

In June 2023, Muyu Aerospace completed three rocket launches at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and Xichang Satellite Launch Center, and sent the self-developed test space station No. 1 test module into the scheduled orbit for the first time.

……

In the July 2023 issue, three Yinglong heavy-lift launch vehicles launched 168 satellites from 42 different companies, government agencies and universities into their respective low earth orbits.

……

In August 2023, Muyu Aerospace ushered in the busiest month ever, and successively completed 5 rocket launch missions at the three major rocket launch centers in China.

……

In September 2023, Muyu Aerospace successfully completed 4 rocket launch missions, of which 3 were commercial launches.

……

In the month, Muyu Aerospace successfully completed 4 commercial launches, and another launch mission successfully sent the self-developed core module of the space station into the predetermined orbit, and with the assistance of two Chinese astronauts, successfully completed the in-orbit assembly task of the No. 1 test module and the core module.

……

In the month, Muyu Aerospace carried out four more space transportations and successfully completed all the in-orbit assembly tasks of the self-developed space station.

The space station is named Tianque, with a design life of 6 years, can accommodate 2 people for a long time, has a total weight of up to 50 tons, and is in the same flight orbit as the Huaxia Tiangong space station.

The Tianque space station is a "3-module" structure, with a core module and an experimental module, and the other docking module can be perfectly matched with the Tiangong space station in design, and space docking can be completed when necessary.

Since then, in the extraterrestrial orbit, Tiangong Tianque, one big and one small, one before and one behind, one country and one people, complement each other.

……

By the end of the month, Muyu Aerospace had successfully launched rockets and successfully completed 32 space transportations.

The Tianque experimental space station has also become the first civilian space station in human history.

To sum up, the world's media and the aerospace field have basically commented that Muyu Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. from Huaxia has reached a milestone that many aerospace companies need a long time to achieve at an astonishing speed.

Not surprisingly, its achievements and strength are completely comparable to that of Space X.

Of course, the goal of aerospace development in Hua Kejing is not to be the same as anyone else, in his vision, what he hopes to see is the prosperity of all mankind moving towards interstellar development.

This is also the reason why he has taken the initiative to itemize the latest technological achievements in the entire aerospace field.

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
