Chapter 487: The Most Expensive Fireworks

The International Space Station did not escape its fate, and was smoothly smashed into pieces according to the "plan of the United States".

This also saves the United States from throwing money here all day long, and beeping with several other countries over who pays for how much, and also saves the trouble of how to destroy it safely in five years.

Although he didn't tell other countries, he scrapped the space station in advance, but this matter is the responsibility of the three countries, and the United States is not cowardly at all.

Of course, this was their previous plan, and it was only their side plan.

And now the accompanying plan is complete, and it is perfect, the main plan is not finished at all!

Although there are the most satellites launched by the United States in space, they are launched very early, and many of them have long passed their service life.

The plan is to throw away some satellites that have reached the end of their life or are obsolete, or even some less important commercial satellites, and then transfer their important satellites before the danger comes.

In this way, it not only blows the strength of other countries, but also retains or even improves its own.

But all this was destroyed after Arc Space released the operation data of the debris cloud, and the satellites of other countries did not suffer any major losses, and they all ran ahead of schedule.

In the end, only a dozen or so satellites were lost, and the impact on the daily activities of the countries on Earth was not great.

Instead, I swept up some of the scrapped satellites that had been sent and accumulated many years ago.

At the beginning, the technology of the launch vehicle was not very good, the height of the satellite was generally not high, and the orbit could not be maintained after scrapping, and the orbit was slowly lowered under the deceleration of the extremely thin atmosphere, so a large number of scrapped satellites were concentrated here.

Originally, this circle was a garbage belt, a test for aerospace equipment to pass, but the gap between them is still very large, and they are very large, easy to track, as long as the window time is calculated, they can be launched.

This time, a large piece of garbage was cleaned up, but a more uniform small fragment was formed, although there was a gap, but it was not easy to launch a manned rocket into the sky again.

It doesn't take too many pieces to destroy a spacecraft, but smaller pieces are extremely difficult to monitor, and that's where the trouble lies.

Bretta looked at the signal of the disappearing International Space Station in a daze, and then looked at the Tiangong Space Station, which was basically nothing to do in the live broadcast, and his cold sweat broke out vigorously.

Victor next to him was going to say something, but then a staff member came and said, "Deputy Director Victor, the astronauts who were evacuated in an emergency have landed smoothly, although the landing site deviated from the intended location and a parachute was damaged when landing, but all of them are fine." ”

"Okay, I see, I'll get over here," Victor nodded to the man.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Bretta again, "Although my level is not enough, I don't know your detailed plan, but no matter how you look at it, your plan has not succeeded, you still have to think about how to explain it." ”

Hearing Victor's words, Bretta looked up and watched him walk to the command podium to start issuing orders, and then look at the content of the live broadcast and he lowered his head again.

He took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and whispered, "My plan is right, if it succeeds, I will have everything." Just like you don't know that Ah San's materials are problematic, I don't know that their materials are problematic, so I can't find me in this matter no matter how much I look for it. ”

After wiping his sweat, tidying up his clothes, and finally taking a look at the Tiangong space station in the live broadcast, he took his bag and left.

Although he is not to blame this time, it is the fault of information gathering, but it is still a big difficulty for the Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Not only did the International Space Station, which still has a five-year lifespan, take it down, so that the United States has no place to conduct experiments, but the most important thing is that the Tiangong space station, which can be transformed into a space warship at any time, has nothing to do.

Don't say anything about maintaining the absolute advantage of the United States in the future, it's good not to be left behind by others.

If you don't go back and study how to explain to Congress and the president, it won't work.

This crisis is a temporary past for the country, because only a few countries or companies have satellites that have been destroyed, but the overall impact is not large, and now they are all raised in orbit, and the debris is also going down, so it is safe for the time being.

But what to do in the future still has to be carefully studied, although this time there are external forces that cause the fragments to go down, it is much better than those fragments that naturally rely on the sparse atmosphere to slow down and take hundreds or thousands to fall.

However, except for the debris that is about to fall and burn, it will take decades for the other debris to fall.

Not to mention the harm this time, people on Earth are blessed, and during this period of time, you will often see some space junk debris that has fallen into the atmosphere burning across the sky.

Especially today, the first debris to fall is the most spectacular, it is the debris of the International Space Station, some of the compartments did not even crash, and the whole thing fell to Earth.

Some people filmed that scene with various equipment, especially the scene of the cabin exploding in the air is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, there are also sad people, this seems to be the end of an era.

"Tsk, this contrast is a bit too drastic, let me slow down, I just know that the shell construction materials of the Xintiangong space station are so fierce, how much does it cost."

"That's right, the same debris cloud was hit, and the Xintiangong space station broke several solar panels, and the International Space Station crashed directly."

"Save trouble, aren't the countries cooperating with the International Space Station fighting over the cost of maintenance? No need to argue this time. ”

"Did you watch the news? A person in Xiba was smashed in the backyard of the space station that did not burn down, and he sued the space agencies of several countries such as the United States and the Mao Bear country, demanding compensation. ”

"Is it so slippery? Looking forward to progress. ”

"Shouldn't we be focusing on space junk now? We've been locked down on Earth, and the news says don't think anything will fly off Earth in a few decades. ”

"That's right, aren't all those private companies' "Mars Migration Program", "Space Tourism Program", and "Inflatable Space Station Program" all going to waste? Wouldn't the shareholders be at a loss? ”

"It's a bloody loss, the stock I bought from them has been falling ...... now"

"What about the space workers in Arc Spaceflight, and the reporters on the side, they can't eat the supplies for decades, can the space plane still take off and send supplies? Will it be damaged? ”

"I don't know, just wait to see the news, Arc Aerospace will definitely find a solution."

Not only does arc aerospace have to find a solution, space agencies and space companies all over the world are looking for solutions, space agencies have national missions, and private companies rely on this to eat, so even if you want to break your head, you have to come up with a way.

However, there is a problem to be solved here, that is, the "culprit" A Sanguo this time.

If it weren't for the sudden loss of control of the satellite they launched, how could it have caused such a big consequence.

The matter of space junk must be solved, and in the shortest possible time, or it will be delayed for decades, according to the current rate of human development, the earth is definitely enough.
