Vol 2 Chapter 830: The emission of the detector assembly that the world is paying attention to

During this period of time, the outside world has maintained a very high degree of attention to the related launch missions of Infinite Gravity Group, especially those astronomy enthusiasts and technology fans who have followed the festival, and they have been enthusiastic on the Internet and in reality. discussion.
You must know that the large man-made objects in the earth orbit that they could observe with their own telescopes were an International Space Station, and of course the Tiangong Space Station, which completed its phased mission last year.
But this year is different. The Infinite Gravity Group has three large-scale observable combinations in the earth's orbit all at once. One is the'Nantianmen' space station that has begun to take shape, and the remaining two are relay satellite combinations. There is also an asteroid belt probe combination!
In particular, the combination of these two detectors has received more attention than the'Southern Tianmen' space station. After all, the space station is not unusual for everyone, and now the sky is floating together 3 A space station, this thing can be seen if you want to.
However, the launch of these two detector combinations is different. You must know that although the Infinite Gravity Group has announced such a launch plan before, how can the dry data and PPT pictures be the same as now? Compared to the behemoth seen in the telescope!
It should be understood that even if it is a relatively small relay satellite detector assembly, its overall length has reached the size of 160 meters. The largest width is the combination of the rocket thruster and ion engine at the tail, and the diameter here It has reached the size of 25 meters!
The asteroid belt detector assembly is more than twice the size of the relay satellite, so the entire assembly is nearly one-third larger than it!
Such a large size is even larger than the International Space Station in terms of scale. Of course, such a large size is even more attractive.
The reason why they have attracted so much attention is mainly due to the huge folding solar sail with a diameter of 100 meters on the composite body.
After the assembly of the folding solar sails on the two combined bodies is completed, they have undergone an opening and closing test respectively to test whether the performance of the solar sail can meet the design requirements. At the same time, a comprehensive test is also done to ensure future tasks It can successfully complete its mission.
It was these two test missions that attracted the attention of the whole world. Because of the detailed tests, the folding solar sail orbited the earth 8 times after being fully opened, lasting about 10 hours.
The reason why they can attract people's attention is that the golden-coated solar sail is too dazzling after reflecting the sunlight!
During the 10 hours of their testing, people all over the world could see their shining light with the naked eye, and their brightness was just like lighting up two stars in the sky that were more than 20 times brighter than a first-magnitude star. Similarly, even the sun's rays can't block its sparkle. How can such a man-made miracle not be amazing!
Even if the solar sail is put away after the test is completed, you can see these two combined bodies in the orbit of the earth with a telescope that can be bought for a few hundred dollars, and many people can take pictures of them. Photos or videos come out to show off, because this is really a cool thing.
Because you can get a lot of likes every time you post such photos or videos, this is of course absolutely not let go of these people who are in the limelight!
With the official announcement of Infinite Gravity Group, after all satellites and components of the relay satellite assembly have been launched, everyone's attention has increased to a peak!
Because the meaning of this is very clear, that is, the first large-scale satellite launch mission of mankind's innovative model will officially begin!
We must know that so far, humans have not never launched more than 100 satellites at one time. There have been such launches several times, but these satellites launched by multiple satellites are basically small masses. satellite.
For example, in 2017, the space research organization of the three countries used the "polar orbiting satellite launch vehicle" to launch a record 104 satellites, 101 of which were aliens.
However, the total mass of the payload launched this time is only a poor figure of 1380 kg. This weight is less than the three relay satellites that Infinite Gravity Group is going to launch now. In this comparison, everyone can know why this launch. Called by the media as an unprecedented and history-breaking launch mission!
We must know that the relay satellite combination that Infinite Gravity Group is about to launch has a weight of 60,000 kg, which is 60 tons, plus the combination of the 120 relay satellites alone~EbookFREE.me~ Supports, rocket boosters and carried fuel, ion engines, solar sails and deep space probes at the top, etc. The launch scale of the entire combination is really amazing!
Not to mention the meaning of launching is also different. The significance of launching earth-orbiting satellites and the relay satellites that Infinite Gravity Group will launch from the earth's orbit into the solar system is completely incomparable.
Lei Tiantang is also paying attention to this launch, although it is said that both the relay satellite combination to be launched soon or the asteroid belt probe combination to be launched next month are all new types of the deep space laboratory. The experimental launch mission of the probe launch project, but this does not mean that their significance to the company is low.
You must know that the manufacturing and launching costs of these detectors have reached the figure of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. If Lei Tiantang is not too concerned about the money invested in this aspect, then he is very concerned about the time issue.
Although these two launch missions are technical verification projects, whether they are relay satellites or asteroid belt probes, they have to perform a lot of missions. If the launch fails, it will really delay the company's back. If it is serious, it will even delay the company’s follow-up space program.
So even if he knew that he could see the entire launch process in real time from the company headquarters, Lei Tiantang himself flew to the "Gaia" rocket launch base to cheer them on.
And because it is a launch mission in Earth orbit, there is nothing to be seen on the ground base, so no one was invited to visit the base this time, so this combined launch will be directly at the company Real-time live broadcast is conducted on the official website. If you want to watch it, you can see it clearly on the official website.
