Vol 2 Chapter 838: The threat of space debris

You must know that even the company will have such a big loss. Of course, the total loss of the whole world will be more. If there is a "chain" reaction, the trouble will be even greater, so Zhang Hanxiu feels that The misfortune caused by the third brother this time is too great!
"It's really drunk! Everyone came here with the mentality of having fun, no one thought that the third brother would be so unreliable!
You see which public launch of our company was not launched after checking over and over again. I don't know how they operate. Such a big thing can be sloppy! "The reporting staff couldn't help but complain.
"Haha! Just get used to it! In this way, you can communicate with your colleagues over there, and then see if there are any other situations. I will also report to the boss here. The matter is not small, so I have to discuss the specifics. Our response plan!" Zhang Hanxiu exhorted.
Although he made an emergency response as soon as he received the news, the boss and the president must be notified of such a big event, because the company needs to respond to the following things.
After all, the company's losses need to be compensated, and the compensation is still a trivial matter. What needs more attention is the space debris generated by the explosion. Their existence is the bigger trouble!
According to rocket scientists, it is called "orbital debris," but most people call it "space junk."
Don't underestimate the fragmented space debris. According to statistics, the number of space debris larger than 1 cm in diameter exceeds 110,000, and the number of space debris larger than 1 mm exceeds 300,000. Surprised there is so much garbage? In fact, in the final analysis, it is all made by ourselves.
Space junk is a variety of objects and debris left in space by human beings during space activities. Like artificial satellites, they fly around the earth in a certain orbit, forming a dangerous garbage belt.
Space junk can be divided into three categories: One is the relatively large objects that can be monitored and tracked by modern radars, mainly various satellites, satellite protective covers and various parts, etc. There are currently more than 8,000 such junks;
The second is that small objects, such as engines and satellites, are produced when they explode in space. The number of them is estimated to be at least several million. The large amount of debris produced by the explosion of the three countries belongs to this type.
The third is nuclear-powered satellites and the radioactive debris produced by them. Up to now, the debris sent by such satellites to the earth orbit reaches 3 tons. This type of garbage is not at all dangerous.
Space junk has brought hidden dangers to the development of the space industry. They have become potential killers of artificial satellites and orbiting space stations, and have seriously threatened the safety of astronauts.
You know, space junk moves at the speed of the universe. An oncoming metal particle with a diameter of 0.5 mm is enough to pierce a sealed flight suit;
Dust that people can’t discern with the naked eye (such as paint chips, paint powder) can also kill astronauts, and in the future related experiments of the Infinite Gravity Group on the
South Tianmen
Earth Orbiting Space Station, the astronaut’s exit activity must be necessary.
Even if it is due to orbital reasons, this explosion will not affect the astronaut’s exit activities. Their existence will also make the launch of the manned spacecraft difficult, because in case the spacecraft hits these debris during the launch process. If so, the danger is not small at all!
A wreck as large as an aspirin tablet can crash an artificial satellite into a "crippled", and can send a spacecraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars to a dead end. This kind of danger is not just talking!
In the history of human space, accidents and disasters caused by space junk are not uncommon. In 1983, the old American space shuttle "Challenger" collided with a 0.2 mm diameter paint stripper, which caused damage to the portholes and had to stop flying.
Big Brother's "Salute-7" orbital station has also been damaged by such "dust" many times.
In 1986, the "Ariane" rocket exploded shortly after entering orbit, becoming 564 pieces of 10 cm in size and 2300 pieces of small fragments. The debris of this rocket made the two communications satellites of the eight-ga country "destined to Huangquan." "!
On September 15, 1991, the space shuttle "Discoverer" launched by the United States almost collided with the rocket wreckage of the former Soviet Union. At that time, the distance between the "Discoverer" and the "uninvited guest" was only 2.74 kilometers. The command system sent a warning signal in time, and it was saved from death.
According to calculations, the probability of a catastrophic collision event for each flying object in space orbit is 3.7%, and the probability of a non-catastrophic collision event is 20%.
And the explosion of the three kingdoms may increase this probability by several percentage points, which makes everyone very sad!
"...The total number of various exploration satellites and experimental verification satellites currently in low orbit by our company is 33. According to the calculations of the origin ~EbookFREE.me~, 7 satellites will be The fragments produced by the explosion were damaged by impact, mainly because they were too close to the explosion, even if they changed their orbits, it was too late to escape.
In addition, there are nine satellites that need to change their orbits to avoid the debris generated by the explosion, and such changes will not only delay satellite detection and experiment work, but also reduce the service life of satellites because of such changes.
It is preliminary estimated that our company will lose at least RMB 1.5 billion due to the satellite launch explosion of the three countries. This is still a direct loss!
The debris from these subsequent explosions may make our company's subsequent space launch activities more difficult, and the resulting losses will be greater! "At the company's emergency meeting, Zhang Hanxiu reported the situation in detail.
"Such a big loss! The third brother really made a big death this time! It's okay to show off. It is not the point to cause 1.5 billion yuan to our company. The point is the threat that this explosion poses to our future launch. It's too big!
You must know that the company's next launch missions are very intensive, and it will be troublesome to delay any launch! "Kong Yu laughed when he heard this!
"Boss, what kind of reaction should we make here? We must have a specific response plan for this matter, otherwise we will be very passive!" After listening to Zhang Hanxiu's report, Jiang Yuting frowned and looked at Lei. Tian Tang asked.
Her mood at the moment is also very upset. You must know that she is responsible for coordinating most of the company's work, and she is so busy every day. Now that such an accident still occurs, just say you are not heartbroken!
She needs to deal with such a large loss and the adverse impact on the company in the future. This kind of trouble is enough!
