Chapter 491: Navigation Again

Arc Aerospace is the least controversial to get this list.

In fact, no matter what you do in space, you can do it with current technology, but it is too expensive to send them into space.

It's so big that you can't recover the cost, and you end up poor to death, so no one will do this kind of thing.

It's the same for both the company and the country.

The matter of space junk is now everyone's attention, after all, you can see a "meteor" across the sky from time to time, but this "meteor" is man-made.

Now there are people staring at the sky and wanting to shoot this kind of picture, and after Arc Space takes over this mission, it may not be visible in the future.

Although according to the progress of the mission announced by Arc Space, it will take more than half a month for the garbage recycling ship to be refitted, but this does not affect people's confidence in Arc Space.

On the third day after the end of the special session on global space development, Arc Space held another test flight because their new aircraft had been refitted.

The color and appearance of the new aerospace transport aircraft have basically not changed, but it looks thicker, because according to Arc Aerospace sources, many parts of its fuselage are equipped with high-strength protective plates, and 10% of the load capacity is sacrificed for this.

However, in order for it to pass through the fragmentation belt, this armor is indispensable, and due to the special nature of the aircraft as a vehicle, this armor cannot be too thick, so the aircraft cannot be as crash-resistant as the space station.

One-1 has given Arc Space full authority to track the debris information, so now Arc Space is tracking these debris every day.

Moreover, Arc Aerospace has another business, that is, the sale of operational data of debris clouds. Compared with the vague monitoring and tracking of various countries, the technology of arc space is very clear.

The impact fragments flew out in all directions, most of them due to the initial force flying downward, but not in other directions.

The new Tiangong space station is not afraid of that, the big troops are all over, and those scattered little things are even more afraid, and now there is enough time to monitor and react, and the cosmic garbage can't even hurt the solar panels.

But those satellites of other countries and companies are not afraid, as long as a small fragment, the satellites they spent a lot of money to manufacture and launch are gone, and the monitoring in other places is not reliable, so it is still very necessary to buy arc space information.

The cloud of debris orbits the Earth, but with sparse differences, and while even the tiniest fragment is dangerous to other spacecraft, the Eagle-class transport aircraft with armor can fly.

On a sunny day, Zhang Zijian, who had rich piloting experience, went to space again with two pilots with excellent results.

This flight mission was an empty test flight, and they chose a window with sparse debris and immediately rushed out of the debris blockade, and when they passed through the debris area, they could hear the sound of debris cutting through the armor, but the aircraft's monitoring system did not appear any alarm, and there was no control failure.

When the plane flew to the Xintiangong space station for docking, both the people in the space and the people in front of the live broadcast cheered.

Arc Aerospace did not disappoint them.

After docking, the maintenance robot in the space station carried out a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft shell, and the astronauts who came here entered the space station to drink tea.

Viewers who watched the live broadcast found that compared to the chaos of the last post-disaster live broadcast, this time the place has become tidy again, and there are new changes.

Since reporter Li Danwen is a woman, and she doesn't know how to work as a space worker, she is idle except for shooting some video materials with the cameraman, but she can't be idle.

After asking what she couldn't touch, she began her journey to decorate the station's interior cabins.

The new station's cabins are very large, and everyone has electromagnetic shoes, so there is no need to fly around like the previous station, so she has a lot of small decorations and artwork inside.

For example, she glued a map of the Earth to a board from pieces of recovered solar panels, and then fixed the board to the wall.

Dong Chen had seen the picture in advance, not to mention, from the perspective of art and design, the broken pieces were still very felt, and hanging on the wall gave the space station some literary atmosphere, and it was also a lot warmer.

And the audience felt that this beautiful reporter was really versatile, and in addition to interviews, she could also engage in artistic creation.

Dong Chen looked at the barrage of envy and yearning of the audience in the command center, and felt that this was a good opportunity to make ordinary people pay more attention to space technology, and it could also create a wave of heat.

After thinking about it, Dong Chen said to Bai Hongxian, the commander-in-chief of the space center, "Old Bai, what do you say we should do if we have a similar activity?" ”

"Similar?" Bai Hongxian was a little confused, he didn't know what the chairman had thought of, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

Dong Chen also knew that what he said was too abrupt, so he explained, "I think we can hold an activity, which is to decorate the space station or something, the participants make a work by themselves, we select the top five, and then we can let them take their works for a day trip to space or something, and finally the works can stay in the Tiangong space station." ”

"I think a lot of people will come and participate."

"This can not only allow ordinary people to participate in the construction of the space station, shorten the distance between the space industry and ordinary people, but also warm up for our future space tours, there should be many other benefits, what do you think?"

What do I think?

I think starfish.

"I feel good, chairman," Bai Hongxian nodded and said, "Many large-scale space missions have activities similar to those for ordinary people to participate in, such as naming spacecraft, naming lunar rovers or something, but if you directly let the winners go on a space tour, then our arc space flight is really the first." ”

"That's okay, you can find the relevant people to formulate the rules and time for participation, and then release them after they are formulated." Dong Chen stood up and said deeply, "Although the sky is full of space junk now, they must have been impressed by the moment when the plane passed through the garbage patch just now, the more in this situation, the more attractive the starry sky becomes." ”

"Okay, chairman, I'll make a note of it."

Because of Li Danwen, the audience felt that the space station was suddenly much closer to them, and they could decorate it like their own home.

Though...... It was decorated with debris of the tall solar panels on the space station.

In addition to this, the happiest thing is the inspection results of the aerospace aircraft, from the perspective of the maintenance robot, although there are some external armor injuries, but the most are scratches, and the marks are not deep.

This shows that the garbage patch really has little impact on arc spaceflight, and its space activities are still unaffected.

Judging from the inspection results of the robot, this state only needs to be replaced after dozens of round-trips in the space junk belt with a similar sparseness, and the armor material can be recycled and reused, so the cost does not increase much.

After the space plane fell back into the Arc Space Base, Arc Space officially announced the space station mission again.
