Chapter 91, One Stone with Many Stars
Qingquan Biotechnology is in charge of Shuiwa, Liu Qingquan is still very relieved, and biological research has also begun to show some results, and has been able to successfully draw some simple biological DNA maps.
Putting down biological research, Liu Qingquan came to the Global Positioning and Navigation Research Center, Wild Boar Ridge Satellite Base!
In the early stage, because of the cooperation agreement with the National Space Center, Liu Qingquan exchanged the anti-gravity engine for the country's technical and policy support in satellite manufacturing and launch.
Moreover, before the Chinese New Year, he seized the time to borrow the power of the state to help launch several laboratory satellites, which have been able to realize regional positioning and navigation in China.
Now, Qingquan Technology has preliminarily mastered the manufacture of space satellites and is ready to launch satellites independently!
Compared with the manufacturing technology of rockets, in fact, the technology of satellites is relatively simple!
Because of the complete weightlessness, high radiation, strong rays, ultra-high temperature, ultra-low temperature, and drastic temperature difference in space, the requirements for satellite manufacturing materials are very high, and as long as the material problem is solved, other problems are relatively simple.
The material problem is not a problem at all for global science and technology, the materials used to make the shell of the flying car can adapt to the complex environment of space, and the research institute has not given up on the research of new materials, all kinds of new materials emerge in an endless stream, and many kinds of materials can be found to adapt to the space environment.
To solve the problem of satellite manufacturing materials, there is also communication technology, and Qingquan Company, which has studied the quantum communication technology used in intraplanetary communication, is not a problem at all, and it can also add traditional electromagnetic wave communication technology to it, and the two-pronged approach can completely ensure perfect communication.
Materials and communication technology have been solved, and the rest are some empirical problems, which are supported by the China National Space Administration, and Qingquan has taken a lot of detours.
By April 2022, Qingquan has been able to independently manufacture qualified space satellites, and 2 have been launched through the China National Space Administration.
And this time, Qingquan Company is ready to use its own "Fatty" series of rockets to launch its own "Shunfeng" satellite, Shunfeng is the name of the global positioning system satellite, referred to as SF, this time the launch is the SF1 generation satellite.
Originally, it stands to reason that Qingquan Company should launch a satellite for the first time, honestly launch one arrow and one satellite first, and then try to kill multiple satellites with one arrow after the technology is relatively mature.
However, the people of the Qingquan Research Institute, who are very confident in their own technology, obviously will not go step by step, and the first launch of the satellite will be launched with one stone!
The so-called multiple satellites with one rocket refers to the technology of using a carrier rocket to send several satellites into the earth's orbit at the same time or successively, and this technology can greatly reduce the cost of satellite launch and the cost of space satellite launch.
And the multi-star technology has been played by many space powers in the world!
On September 20, 2015, China used a Long March-6 rocket to send 20 satellites into space at a time, breaking the Asian space record set by India's seven satellites in orbit on February 25, 2013. Of the seven satellites is one of Indian, the other six, four German, one Turkish, and one Swiss.
On November 19, 2013, the Minotaur rocket of the American Orbital Science Corporation launched a record 29 satellites into Earth orbit simultaneously.
On November 21, 2013, Russia successfully launched a number of satellites with the Dnepr launch vehicle. The total number of payloads launched this time reached 32.
On June 20, 2014, Russia successfully launched 37 satellites into predetermined orbits using a Dnepr rocket. It was by far the largest payload ever carried in the world.
Of course, if so many satellites are launched at once, these satellites must be relatively small and have a single purpose, and many of them are likely to be one-time satellites.
Qingquan Technology's satellites for global positioning belong to this kind of satellite, with small mass and single function, which is very suitable for launching many satellites at one time with one arrow and multiple satellites.
And this time, Qingquan is ready to use the "Fatman" rocket to launch 36 global positioning and navigation satellites at one time!
Seeing this, some friends will say, does this global positioning navigation need to use 36 satellites? The United States only uses 24 satellites for GPS, Russia also uses 24 satellites for GLONASS, and China's Beidou navigation satellite system also uses 27 satellites, why do you use 36 satellites?
Liu Qingquan said with a smile: "Actually, we are planning to launch 108 satellites, and the 36 satellites launched this time are just the most important hub satellites."
In the future, Qingquan's global navigation satellite will be used as a high-speed flying car navigation, which has busy business, high precision requirements, more demanding response requirements, and all-weather requirements.
Naturally, it is impossible to purchase more than 20 traditional satellite positioning, and it is necessary to use a navigation system that is safer, more accurate, faster and can work 24 hours a day.
The number of satellites has naturally increased significantly, and the 108 satellites are the result of preliminary calculations, and in the future, if flying cars become widely popular, the number of satellites may be increased to meet the busy business needs.
Liuyun Town Wild Boar Ridge Qingquan Science and Technology Satellite Base!
In the middle of the wide launch site, a large fat man stood quietly!
Compared with the previous Fat Man 9 satellite, the height of the Fat Man 10 satellite this time has directly increased to more than 20 meters, the largest diameter in the middle has also increased to more than 10 meters, and the diameter at the bottom is also more than 6 meters, which is simply an enlarged Fat Man 9!
There is no way, this time the fat man has 36 satellites stuffed in his belly, and he has to constantly change orbits in space to launch satellites, which naturally greatly increases the carrying of his own fuel, and the corresponding fuel used to launch these is greatly improved, and the fat man has to be recovered after the launch of these 36 satellites.
This can be said to be a very challenging satellite launch, not only multiple satellites at once, but also to realize the recycling of rockets!
The experts of the China National Space Administration who heard the news crowded the Wild Boar Ridge Satellite Launch Center, and all the experts were pointing at the fat man in the middle and talking about something.
Liu Qingquan quietly looked at the fat man in the middle, and hundreds of people under his hands were constantly busy, and at the end of the final inspection and confirmation of various equipment, conditions, etc., the nearby sky had long been banned.
"Boss can do it!" The assistant came over and nodded.
"Execute as planned!" Liu Qingquan nodded and looked at the wide monitor, which showed that there were only five minutes left before the launch time!
“5,4,3,2,1! Launch! As the countdown ended, the assistant next to Liu Qingquan gently pressed the red launch button, and the fat man in the middle of the field immediately spewed out countless red flames, and then the fat man slowly began to rise into the air!
The red tail flame soon turned transparent white, indicating that the temperature was already quite high at this time, and the fat man was rising faster and faster, and soon the fat man left a dazzling long white light in the sky.
In the control center, the data of the fat man on the large screen is constantly updated, and a newly installed astronomical telescope is constantly transmitting the real-time image of the fat man.
The green status shows that the fat man is running well and working perfectly at this time!
Soon, in less than 2 minutes, the fat man rushed out of the atmosphere, out of gravity, such a speed is very amazing, high speed means that you can fly out of the atmosphere quickly, save more fuel, carry more equipment, and carry out a safer and more reliable design.
At this time, the central display,The signal and pictures transmitted by the fat man have been displayed,The fat man is in accordance with the new high-definition billion-pixel camera this time,Under good weather conditions, the cars on the ground can be photographed clearly。
The fat man has also connected to the satellite that was originally launched and realized the positioning of space!
At this time, the height of the fat man is 20200km, which is the height of the global positioning and navigation satellite system, whether it is the GPS of the United States or the Beidou of China, it is almost all around this altitude.
The fat man first flew around the earth quickly, constantly transmitting countless high-definition images, causing waves of applause from the launch command center.
Even experts from all walks of life from the National Space Administration who have seen a lot of satellite launch scenes have to admire this group of hairy boys of Qingquan Technology, and now, if it is purely from the perspective of launching satellites, it has been successful!
The orbit of the fat man flying around the earth is elliptical, and in the position of the apogee, the fat man makes a change of orbit to the predetermined satellite launch orbit!
Orbit change at apogee has great advantages, because the spacecraft is relatively slow when it is at apogee, it is easier to change orbit, and it is easy to change to the desired orbit.
After arriving at the predetermined location, the fat man made the final adjustment, this step of adjustment includes angle adjustment, speed adjustment, after the adjustment, the fat man's head slowly opened, and a small satellite of only about 100 pounds was gently sent out!
As soon as the satellite sent out the fat man, it immediately began to work, first slowly stretched out its relatively wide solar panel wings, and then the internal communication equipment began to work, and the quantum communication technology immediately allowed the control center in Liuyun Town to contact it.
On the big screen, the earth rotated slowly, and a small satellite symbol immediately appeared near the fat man in an elliptical orbit, and a place next to it immediately displayed various data of the satellite, and everything was running perfectly!
In this way, the fat man kept changing orbits at apogee, launching satellites one after another, and as one satellite after another was successfully launched, the small earth on the screen was surrounded by one elliptical circle after another.
The whole launch process was unusually smooth and perfect, it only took 2 hours before and after, and all 36 satellites were successfully launched, working in good condition, and the fat man has completed its mission!
A flame in the sky flew towards Liuyun Town, and after reaching a certain height, it turned upside down, and the anti-gravity engine made the fat man quickly reduce the descent speed, and slowly the fat man found the launch site of Wild Boar Ridge, and landed slowly and accurately in the middle of the launch site!
The tidal wave of cheers resounded throughout the Boar Ridge!
