On October 19, the Aviation Development Commission conducted an internal tender for the lunar surface probe.

In 2013, the space agency has dropped a Chang'e-3 to the moon and carried the Yutu lunar rover, which is a very successful lunar surface exploration.

However, manned landings need to confirm the landing location more carefully, especially the location of the scientific research station, since the 2921 project has started, it will not just stop after sending a few people, but the monthly surface construction plan will be advanced.

This requires the search for valuable landing areas, capable of generating electricity on the lunar surface, synthesizing fuels, and so on, the most valuable of which is, of course, the south pole of the moon, where the scientific community has long been rumored to contain a precious water resource: ice.

As a result, the Aviation Development Commission proposed the "Chang'e-4" plan, and another unmanned probe was launched at the south pole of the moon to find resources.

Since the landing site is on the far side of the moon, a relay satellite is also needed, which is named "Magpie Bridge".

The Queqiao relay satellite is scheduled to be launched before April 2016, and the Chang'e-4 mission is scheduled to be launched before June 2016.

Then Xinyuan Aerospace made its own proposal.

The first is the Queqiao relay satellite, the target proposed by the Aviation Development Commission is only 400 kilograms, and the transmission capacity is limited, Xinyuan proposed to expand this number to 3 tons, and use Xinyuan No. 5A to launch it, which is just the limit capacity.

Such a large satellite communication capability will be raised to a notch, and by the way, it can also carry out exploration missions, and Xinyuan will also contribute half of the capital to this satellite, which can be shared in the future.

In addition, Chang'e-4, the mass of 3.7 tons is too conservative, doubled to 8 tons, plus a lunar rover of Xinyuan Company, which is also data sharing, and can also perform separate tasks without interfering with each other, and will be launched by Xinyuan-5B.

After the magic reform, the two plans of the space agency have not provided much more funds than before, which is beneficial to both parties.

After all, Xinyuan has no experience with the moon, and with the help of these two projects, it can obtain data from the space agency on their previous lunar explorations, which is conducive to subsequent work.

In the end, these changes were approved by the Aviation Development Commission, and the Fifth Academy and Xinyuan Company jointly carried out the development of the Queqiao relay satellite and the Chang'e-4 mission.

In addition, the first phase of the Tiangong project of the Aviation Development Commission is also progressing rapidly.

Since the core module of Tiangong Phase I, the tourist space station XS-62, which has now been named "Cloud Palace", has not yet been launched, and Tiangong-2, which has been in space, has not yet had any astronauts stationed in Tiangong, but has only completed some unmanned small missions.

The Yungong space station is ready to be launched in the middle of next month, and at this time, it is still being manufactured in the B-class base in Xinyuan, and it will be airlifted around November 5.

When Yungong enters orbit, Tiangong-2 will dock with it first, and then the Space Administration will launch the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft for docking, and finally Tuanjie will send the crew of six astronauts to the space station to complete the manned space mission one year ahead of schedule.

These projects will be widely publicized to the world in the future, and they will all be exhibited at the air show.

Xinyuan Aerospace Power will participate in the 2015 Zhuhai Aviation Exhibition.

Although the air show is ostensibly an aviation display, it is actually mainly a platform for major enterprises to sell goods, where missiles, fighter jets, tanks, rifles, rockets, and radars can be placed...... Tractors can also be demonstrated.

Some of the purpose of the display is to sell and sell, and some are just to show their technical strength and brush up their fame, anyway, they are right.

Xinyuan not only exhibited, but also had big guys to see.

On October 28, the Progress boarded the Il-76 and landed at Zhuhai Airport on its back.

This is the first time that a genuine spacecraft has been exhibited at the Zhuhai Air Show, and people on both sides are enthusiastically taking pictures.

Because it is mainly cargo-bearing, Progress does not have many missions, and its biggest use should actually be the maintenance of orbital spacecraft, such as space stations or large satellites, which can just be vacated for static exhibitions.

Xinyuan exhibited only one spacecraft, but it asked for a rather large booth in a conspicuous position at the exhibition.

All kinds of rocket and spacecraft models, even if they are still in the PPT state, it is enough for people to move their feet, and they will draw people to give small gifts to the model from time to time.

Lin Ju originally wanted to go, but he really couldn't leave, and now he flew into the desert.

In the large base built in the depths of the Gobi Desert, Lin Ju and Guo Shen followed Dou Ping, the director of the desert base, to stand in the control room of the airport tower together.

With the constant call sign, a small plane approached from a distance and slowly landed on the runway, and then Lin Ju followed Dou Ping down and came to the small plane.

This is obviously a space shuttle, its lower fuselage is black thermal insulation, the fuselage is about 3.5 meters wide, two small wings on both sides, there are no portholes, it is an unmanned spacecraft.

This is the military's internal aerospace aircraft project, which weighs about 8 tons and has a reconnaissance function, and the heat insulation tiles on the fuselage are still produced by Xinyuan.

The base has given it the code name Shenlong, which obviously has high hopes, but it has not yet flown into space, and it is still in the stage of testing in the atmosphere.

The existence of the dragon is extremely secret, and in the previous life, it would only be notified to the international community when it entered the space flight, except for the ability to estimate the weight and dimensions based on the capacity of the rocket, there was not a single picture.

But now, it's within reach of Lin Ju.

Dou Ping patted the fuselage of the "Shenlong" and said to Lin Ju and Guo Shen:

"This project, which has been going on for 9 years since the project was established, is aimed at exploring new battlefields in the future of aerospace and verifying reusable spacecraft technology.

Its aerodynamics are not as good as the H1's wing-body fusion, the take-off weight and volume difference is nearly three times, and the materials are also lagging behind, and these thermal insulation tiles are still produced by you. ”

Dou Ping sighed as he spoke, as if he was scolding his own child who was not angry, and gently kicked on the surface of the "Shenlong":

"Shenlong, I'm sorry for the name."

"So Director Dou, that's what we're here for."

Dou Ping nodded: "Yes, you are reliable, you are a trustworthy enterprise, the country needs the strength of you, you can't choke on food because of your identity, in fact, there have been excellent private enterprises to join the military project since twenty years ago, and it is also very deep." ”

Lin Ju only learned a few days ago that the military had given up the "Shenlong", but the order for heat insulation tiles was not broken, but unexpectedly invited Xinyuan to join in the development of their new generation of aerospace fighters.

It is not surprising that the "Shenlong" was killed, because in terms of design and performance, the H1 crushes it in all directions, and if the H1 is changed to an unmanned space vehicle like the "Shenlong", the combat capability will increase by at least four or five times.

So after careful consideration, Xinyuan was invited to join the program as a defense contractor to jointly develop a new generation of aerospace fighters.

Regarding the update time, in order to have time to revise the deposit, it will be updated from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. in the future.

The author is not full-time, and often codes until 12 o'clock in the evening, so there may be some mistakes that need to be corrected......
