Facts have proved that Douyin is worthy of the software that has made the scale of the mobile Internet expand and flourish rapidly, and it is simply expanding like a virus.

Although the Matrix Matrice satellite network is generally much more expensive than broadband, 270,000 units were sold in 24 hours, about 65% of which were the cheapest 50Mbps network.

At the same time, Xinyuan's official website channel also supports foreign users to order.

However, the price of foreign users is much more expensive, and the price of a 100 Gigabit network receiver in China is 899 US dollars a year in foreign countries, which is almost three times.

In addition to the fact that satellites are less expensive and expensive, if it is Aramco, users have to pay additional taxes because of the tariff policy, which is ...... Under normal circumstances, it may pay two or three hundred US dollars, and if Aramco initiates punitive tariffs, it may even pay 2,000 US dollars.

However, the first Aramco user, and possibly the first foreign user, should have already set up the antenna.

On the morning of the 23rd, Aramco time, Lao Ma got off the plane with the Supreme Commemorative Edition of the Jingwei Satellite Network (5000Mbps) antenna.

This is a purely internal custom antenna, which will not be sold at all outside, with a downlink speed of 5Gbps and an uplink speed of 2Gbps, which is enough for ten years.

The antenna size is 27 inches, and the front is marked with a huge XAP logo, and Lin Ju promises to be free for life.

Lao Ma downloaded the APP with one of his mobile phones, and then connected to the antenna LAN first, and started the search mode of the antenna placed in the open space.

The huge panel antenna began to rotate 360, stopped in one direction after a full rotation, and then adjusted the elevation angle, and the phone prompted that the wifi already had an internet connection.

Open Douyin, the first video loads smoothly, and the network speed number flashes in the status bar is 9MB/s.

He went to download the app from Google, and the progress bar was only stuck for a second, and the app with a size of more than 60MB was downloaded.

Obviously, the bottleneck is not the internet speed at all.

Musk looked at the sky along the elevation angle of the antenna, and he knew that one or several satellites were flying by dozens of times the speed of sound.

The longitude and latitude satellite network has been put into practical use, and Starlink can no longer be delayed.

……

The contact time with Lao Ma was not long, only a few hours, but he did win Lin Ju's respect.

Ma Yilong has no arrogance, and his behavior style is also very pragmatic, Lin Ju completely entertained him in the relaxed style of Xinyuan Company, and the former was very happy.

Because of serious occasions, Lao Ma has seen a lot, especially when talking about Tesla's Gigafactory in Modu, the pressure is very high.

Lao Ma said that staying with Xinyuan people felt like returning to specaX, and it was extremely easy to perform more than the whole person.

The two didn't talk too deeply, but Lao Ma took a lot of photos and group photos of the rocket and the Space Shuttle Progress, and picked some to post on Twitter, and Lin Ju directly liked each other.

Lao Ma's trip to China did not dilute the atmosphere of competition between the two sides of the Pacific.

Instead, on September 21st, NACA conducted an SLS ground static ignition experiment.

Two five-stage SRB boosters have arrived at the Kennedy Space Center, and the launch pad renovation work is nearing completion in preparation for the first flight of the SLS.

The Orion spacecraft service module, delivered from Europe, was also delivered to the Lockheed Martin plant, where it will be assembled.

Northrop Grumman also announced that he has completed the construction of the HALO living module of the Lunar Gateway space station, which will be completed in January and launched by the Falcon Heavy rocket in February 2017 as scheduled.

The debate over the Veneto 1 rocket continues in Europe, with 11 ESA representatives arguing from morning to night every day, with different opinions from all sides.

However, driven by Italy and France, it is true that ESA's desire to carry out its space program independently is rising, especially with the potential guarantee of Veneto 1.

The country is planning to resurrect the Cold War-era Space Shuttle Hermes as a round-trip vehicle in low-Earth orbit and to complete a combined landing on the moon.

The space shuttle Hermes was a symbol of the Cold War's pursuit of an independent space system, but it was later canceled due to the collapse of the alliance, and now it is back on the agenda.

Now that China, Aramco, and Lucia are all working on the space shuttle, can Europe not keep up? Absolutely not.

It's as bad as ever, and the attitude is very Buddhist, anyway, who is stronger than them.

But in general, the belt is still in favor of ESA, because Lao Maozi has signs of support.

It's 2016, and Lucia has faintly shown signs of economic resurgence, and in addition to cooperating with Huaguo, her own moon landing rocket, Yenisei Don, has really started preliminary demonstrations.

Six boosters, six RD171MV engines, and one RD180 in the core stage, with a total thrust of 5,400 tons and a maximum LEO capacity of 150 tons.

This is also a moon rocket, but Lucia is not confident enough and has set a vague "test flight around 2020".

Although the carrying capacity of giant rockets such as SLS, Long March 10, and Xinyuan-2A is the same level, it is interesting that the core stage and booster diameter of the Yenisei super-heavy launch vehicle are only 4.1 meters, which is the smallest diameter of the giant rocket.

The reason is also very simple: in order to take care of the backward railway transportation system, Lucia's usual cosmodrome is still the Baikonur launch center in Kazakhstan, which can only be transported by rail.

Although the N1 rocket with a maximum diameter of 17 meters was launched at Baikonur in the last century, that kind of transfer capability is now difficult for Lucia to achieve, and the railway transfer of large-diameter rockets has a fatal wound:

The rocket must be transported separately and assembled at the launch site, which greatly increases the probability of problems with the complex internal structure of the giant rocket, and the conditions at the launch site are far less favorable than in the production plant.

There is no reason for the frequent problems of the N1 rocket, which is to assemble it at the launch site and then erect it as a whole, which is not only troublesome compared to vertical assembly, but also produces hidden dangers in the erection process.

In order to reduce the workload and the risk of launch failure, the Lucia Space Agency chose a 4.1-meter-diameter rocket body, which is the maximum overall transportation diameter that their railway can allow, and the assembly will be relatively simple when the booster and core stage are spliced.

Also preparing for the lunar landing program is Lucia's new-generation "Eagle" manned spacecraft, which is about the same weight and maximum crew size as the Orion spacecraft and the new-generation manned spacecraft, both in the 20-ton class.

At present, Lucia is investing 2 billion rubles in the entire rocket and spacecraft project, that is, ...... US$28 million or 190 million RMB.

This number is the lowest among all countries, and any sub-project of ESA is much higher than this number, so it is no wonder that Lucia Space Agency was vague and refused to give a specific number when announcing the date of its lunar exploration.

With this amount of money, let alone building rockets, you can't build two RD171 engines.

On the contrary, India has revised the Gaganyan plan to send two Indian astronauts to space in 2017, build a space station in 2019, and land on the moon in 2020.

Gaganyan's budget for this year is $1.7 billion, or 120 billion rubles, and Lucia is now figuring out how to hack the money from the third brother.
