On August 6, Falcon 9 successfully completed its first recovery at sea.

I don't know if the previous failure used up all the bad luck, but this Falcon 9 for the third time landed precisely in the center of the tugboat, which was perfect.

Now the whole world knows that the empty fork has become the second space company in Xinyuan to master the mature rocket recovery technology.

At the same time, the final assembly of the Long March-6 Yao-3 rocket has been completed, and according to the arrangement, it will carry six satellites on August 11 and launch them at the Selenium Chang Satellite Launch Center, sending them into a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

But now why don't you want to launch, and the person in charge of the Se-Chang Satellite Launch Center doesn't want to launch either.

"Lao He, the Long March 6 blew up Bingzhou, Jiuquan also blew up, and if it goes on like this, it will blow up my Selenium, and then blow up Qiongzhou, and then it won't be blown up."

He Ruo was so suffocated by the person in charge of the Selenium-Chang Satellite Launch Center that he had nothing to say, and it took him a long time to squeeze out words such as "the failure of the experiment is not a failure" and "collecting experience".

He himself is looking at the Long March 6 and sighing, after two launch failures, the Long March 6R continues to improve, and the first-stage rocket is no longer distinguishable from the Xinyuan-1C, but it does not mean that it can also be successfully reused.

The engine, the Sixth Courtyard is as perfect as taking an aphrodisiac, and the flight control and recovery legs are all from the Eighth Academy, and the responsibility cannot be pushed.

In the difficult research on recycling control technology that has lasted for 9 months, the more he understands, the more desperate he becomes:

Rocket recovery is theoretically feasible, but the practical operation is too complicated, to achieve it is either like Ma Yilong to blow up, the wrong trial is naturally successful, don't you see people these days shoot once successful? As long as you find that point of success, there will be no more technical obstacles.

Or find it in the first place like Xinyuan, but that's too difficult, unless it's a one-in-a-million genius who just happens to hit the luck.

The recovery of the grille rudder clamp is even more outrageous, which is an order of magnitude higher than the difficulty of the recovery of the support leg, and I dare not think about it.

On another sleepless night, he suddenly got a piece of gossip from a friend in the capital:

The space agency will carry out large-scale cooperation in the military and civilian fields with Xinyuan, and sell some sensitive or high-tech components and materials to each other, including the RX-01 data bus and the control assembly of the support leg recovery technology.

……

Recyclable rockets, Xinyuan-2 with a take-off thrust of more than 1,500 tons, the H1 space shuttle, and the Orient Express rescue plan have had a huge impact on the superiors.

"8.15 Future Space Technology and Space Exploration Development and Promotion Committee"

Abbreviated as 815 Aerospace Development Committee (China Aerospace Development Committee), abbreviated as CADC, can also be abbreviated as Aviation Development Commission.

Led by the Space Administration, with the First, Fifth and Eighth Academies and private enterprises as the backbone, the committee will jointly carry out China's future space program, including:

China's own large space station;

Unmanned Deep Space Exploration Program for the Moon and Mars;

manned deep space exploration programs for the Moon and Mars;

lunar (near-term) and Martian (long-term) manned research station programs;

Planetary exploration program in the solar system (mainly probes);

the Space Observing Programme (Space Telescope);

Commercial Space Tourism Industry Program;

space resource development (electricity, agriculture) program;

……

The emergence of Xinyuan Aerospace Power Company seriously interfered with the judgment of the superiors, making the latter always think about why a private aerospace company did this, whether there was a problem, so it decided to make a major reform of China's traditional aerospace model.

After that, the space program will be decided by the Aviation Development Commission, submitted to a special group composed of several big leaders for approval, and then the budget will be obtained to start implementation, and there will be no longer a rigid set of steps or specific times, as long as the budget allows, the plan will be carried out.

This is a completely bold attempt to let the space program develop freely and loosen its original shackles by focusing on science rather than politics.

The implementation unit is selected or assigned by the Aviation Development Commission between the space bureau and private enterprises, provides research funds or technical support, and then accepts the results according to the plan requirements.

For the time being, the budget of the aerospace project will not be greatly adjusted, but a special channel will be opened to communicate directly with the superiors, and the additional will be added beyond expectations.

Even Lin Ju couldn't imagine that his superiors had taken such a big step, almost completely subverting the original pattern.

But then I have to admire their wisdom, the aviation development commission is huge on the surface, the level is very high, but if there is chaos or unsatisfactory, it only needs to be dissolved to eliminate the impact, and it is in the hands at any time.

However, the existence of the Aviation Development Commission is a great thing for Lin Ju, because the internal resolution of the Aviation Development Commission is discussed by the Space Administration and private enterprises, and the voting rights are the same, and only Xinyuan Aerospace Power has this qualification.

That is to say, as long as the resolution is passed, there is no problem in manning the moon now, and it is completely possible to use the state's money to complete the tasks of the system, and it will be much more convenient to do things in tiger skin.

It's also a good thing for many scientists in the space agency, who will be conscious of whether to carry out a certain space mission, rather than waiting for the approval of the plan or escalation from the superiors, reducing administrative time and costs.

The Aviation Development Commission was established in Beijing, with its headquarters here, and various aerospace institutes and Xinyuan set up offices.

Lin Ju's current identity is the representative of Xinyuan Aerospace Power, a private enterprise of the Aviation Development Commission, and theoretically at the same level as the bigwigs of the Space Administration, and has the right to make suggestions on the space program through executive meetings.

The first thing the Aviation Development Commission should do: the space agency and Xinyuan will conduct small-scale technical exchanges and unify technical standards.

First and foremost, the spacecraft pair interface.

The space agency uses a 0.85-meter round mouth, and Xinyuan has two standards: a 0.9-meter round mouth and a 2.5-meter square mouth.

The 0.85-meter round mouth and the 0.9-meter round mouth are of the same type, the difference is not big, you can use anyone's, Lin Ju is of course inclined to use his own, and the change project is small~

There is controversy about the big mouth, because the 2.5-meter square mouth is too big, with an area of 6.25 square meters, and the 0.85-meter round mouth is only 0.56 square meters, and the gap is too big.

The International Space Station only uses a 1.2-meter square or round mouth, which is a bit scary to sound like this big.

Moreover, Xinyuan's 2.5-meter square mouth technical route is also very unique, such a large hatch takes up too much space with an integral type, so the hatch is sliding and folding, which sounds unreliable and technically difficult.

After discussion, the small pair interface is more advanced due to the more advanced 0.9-meter round port RX01 protocol, and the 0.9-meter round port is uniformly adopted.

The 2.5-meter square mouth of Xinyuan is the standard for large docking interfaces, because the space agency does not have relevant reserves for large docking interfaces, and Anderov said that the 2.5-meter square opening is mature.

The second is the protocol, and the communication protocol of the spacecraft must be unified.

Xinyuan proposed to use their own RX01 data bus, citing a much higher processing capacity ceiling than the 1553B, which is more reliable.

The RX01 data bus requires 8 chipsets, 64 functional modules, and can be expanded and changed as needed, which is more scalable and advanced than the 1553B.

The chipset and functional module process used are very low, and can be produced domestically, and can even be combined with existing general-purpose DSP chips to play a function, and exclusive custom chips will only improve reliability and reduce system complexity, without affecting performance.

Lin Ju said that RX01 will be authorized free of charge in the Aviation Development Commission, which really makes others have no resistance.

And then he also dropped a bombshell: the support leg recovery technology can be shared by selling the entire control system, a one-time purchase, free for life, and rockets with a diameter of 5 meters and below can be customized for a fee.

And he also revealed that the reason why Xinyuan's recycling control technology is mature and stable is because of the use of RX01 data bus.
