The last sentence made the space agency, which had a headache with recycling technology, very itchy, listed this item as a reconsideration, and preliminarily approved the decision of the Aviation Development Commission to use the RX01 data bus in a unified manner.

The third point is this year's space program.

Xinyuan proposed a plan, that is, before the Spring Festival, that is, before February 2016, to launch a combination of XS-62 complete tourist module, Tiangong-2, and Shenzhou-11, with the H1 space shuttle responsible for the round-trip between heaven and earth, and 6 people are stationed.

Segment ownership remains separate, but jointly operated.

This combination can cooperate with the space shuttle to carry out space science experiments, satellite in-orbit release, maintenance, space tourism, etc., and can also connect with international partners.

Next year, the "Tianhe", which was jointly developed with the Fifth Academy of Sciences, will be launched step by step in the future to become a long-term in-orbit space station weighing more than 150 tons, benchmarking against the ISS International Space Station.

This program space agency said...... Approve!

It is expected that two Long March-2F will be used, Shenzhou 11 and Tiangong-2 are ready-made, the XS-62 pure tourist module will be built quickly, and then one Xinyuan-2 will be used, and one Xinyuan-5 will be used for the launch of Tuanjie.

This year, a total of three rockets and four launches will be carried out, and the space station after construction will have an operating mass of 60 tons and can accommodate 6 people.

The overall budget is 4.5 billion, and Xinyuan receives 1.5 billion, and the plan is named: "Tiangong Phase I".

In the early stage of the establishment of the Aviation Development Commission, it made achievements around the first phase of the Tiangong project, and took it as a pilot project, and did a good job for the superior leaders to see, so as to develop in the later stage.

As for Xinyuan itself, it is also expanding with the same full force.

……

Badis, the director of the Italian Space Agency, landed with Sabril, an executive of the country's space company and Alenia Aerospace.

After landing, Badis goes to the space agency, and Sagar goes to Xinyuan.

Alenia Aerospace is very strong, having participated in the joint European fighter development program and is a partner of many airlines.

Their two ISS segments, Harmony and Tranquility, were launched by the Aramco Space Shuttle in 2007 and 2010, respectively, and formed four key service modules with Aramco Unity and Lucia Star.

If you don't say that you want to jump against Ami nervously, in addition to the lack of rockets, their space technology strength is actually quite strong.

The reason why Sagar came to China was that they were interested in Xinyuan's ability to launch giant rockets, and they were also very interested in the XS-62 space station that they had developed for foreign commercial tourism.

"You want to build a space hotel?"

Lin Ju received Sagar, and then fell into thought.

Sagar's purpose was clear: they wanted to build a single-section, three-cabin space hotel, each chamber representing a room, weighing 38 tons, measuring 39 meters in length, and accommodating nine visitors.

About one-third of the surface of each cabin is covered with a large area of portholes to form a viewing cabin, independent bathroom, gymnasium, restaurant, ...... Small and complete, completely luxury hotel level, except for the swimming pool that may cause visitors to drown due to zero gravity cancellation, the comfort and luxury type completely hangs the XS-62.

It is equipped with a node cabin, which can dock with four spacecraft, and adopts the European 1.2-meter square mouth standard.

Sagar said that the space hotel could be operated in conjunction with Xinyuan Aerospace Power, and that they were responsible for the design and construction of the main hotel, and that Xinyuan was responsible for sending it into space by rocket and transporting tourists.

The entire project is expected to be completed within 18 months, because the rocket is already ready-made, and only the hotel is missing.

"Mr. Lin, capacity is everything, such a space hotel can continue to operate for more than ten years, with your transportation capacity, some rich people are willing to pay a lot of money for this, we will not lose money."

Lin Ju: "How much is the estimated investment in this space station?" ”

Sagar: "$1.2 billion, if you charge $70 million per passenger, 20 people can pay for themselves, that's just the capacity of the space shuttle Solidarity four times, and in about two years we will enter a period of net profit, even according to the price of H1 flights you announced, 50 million dollars a time, a net profit of more than 200 million dollars!"

Besides, can such a worthwhile space tourism be enjoyed for only 70 million dollars? Even if it is doubled, there are people who are willing to pay. ”

Lin Ju was not fooled by the numbers, and to be honest, although Itali's design for the space hotel did go too far beyond the XS-62 to the point that the latter seemed rough, empty, and completely aesthetically devoid, Lin Ju didn't think it really appealed.

The per capita charge of the XS-62 is much lower than that, and even if the space hotel is better, how many people are willing to pay tens of millions of dollars more for it?

Cheapness is the future.

Moreover, the cost of manufacturing cabins in Italy is too high, Europe needs 1.2 billion US dollars, and it may be 1.2 billion yuan for Xinyuan.

But what does this have to do with Lin Ju? He only needs to use the H1 for one launch mission.

After thinking about it, Lin Ju put forward his opinion:

"The cost of launching a space hotel is $100 million, and the H1 needs $50 million for each launch.

Sagar: "As a builder and operator, 70% is a bit less, and we, 75% are appropriate. ”

Lin Ju: "You are three percent." ”

Sagar: "......"

After confirming it twice in a row with the translator, Sagar shook his head fiercely:

"No, no, no, Lin, the upfront investment of the space hotel is high, so it will take us a long time to pay for itself, and the board of directors will not agree."

Lin Ju: "Only we use it for rapid launch and docking capabilities, and after the launch of your space hotel, I can operate the tourist module launched this year together."

Besides, if we can provide more technical support, can Ibrali really build a 6-meter mega module? I suggest that you can hand over the cabin part to Xinyuan to complete, then the diameter can be 7.6 meters, and the shell OEM price is only 400 million US dollars. ”

Sagar: "In that case...... Is 50% OK? ”

Lin Ju: "Then I'll add 5% or 35% to you, in fact, the right to operate mainly belongs to you, Xinyuan doesn't have much energy in business, we just need money." ”

Sagar: "Let's give another 5%, and we'll take a little bit of equity to win over brands that focus on luxury hotels, they have a lot of connections." ”

"Deal."

In the following days, Alenia Aerospace signed a contract with Xinyuan Aerospace Power to establish the "Oriental International Space Hotel" with a registered capital of 3 billion US dollars with the luxury hotel brand Belmond Group.

The equity accounts for 58% of Xinyuan, 33% of Alenia, 5% of Belmond Group, and the remaining profit is distributed to related small shrimp.

Orient International is currently building 1 space capsule, and an XS-62 will be added in the future.

Now Xinyuan has decided to launch the XS-62 at the end of this year or early next year, and it has also signed an agreement with Belmond, who will help pull business, participate in the design of some space services, and then charge a certain fee according to the head and package.

The reputation of Belmond is not covered, and the 18-month intermediary contract with the XS-62 has just been signed, and three European billionaires are willing to contribute, just enough to make up a seven-day trip to the XS-62.
