Vol 5 Chapter 2478: hunting weather satellite

~EbookFREE.me~ Wu Hao did not attend the technical seminar in the evening. On the one hand, it was because he was busy with his own affairs and had no time. On the other hand, it was naturally because he did not need to attend such a meeting.
Near nine o'clock in the evening, when Wu Hao brought Zhang Jun and the others to the command and control hall of Xinyuehu Aerospace, Luo Kai and Wan Hongfei had already taken their seats, obviously they had been here for a long time.
After saying hello to a few people, Wu Hao immediately took his seat and looked at the big screen. At this moment, the middlemost information on the big screen is an expanded world map, which shows the actual orbital path of the Huanwei-1 high-speed orbital debris removal experimental satellite. There is also a red orbit path, which is the weather satellite that is about to be experimented and tried to capture because of a malfunction.
On the left and right sides of this world map, there are respective display contents. The right side is mainly some data information, while the left side is the sky image captured and transmitted back by the high-definition camera on the satellite. In addition, there are various detection equipment carried by the satellite door-to-door, lidar, millimeter-wave radar, and various image information transmitted back by optical detection equipment.
How is it going to that stage? Wu Hao asked Yu Chengwu, the commander-in-chief of this experiment.
At present, the two satellites have gathered for one kilometer, and they can start capturing the decommissioned satellite at any time. Yu Chengwu said to Wu Hao and everyone present.
let's start. Wu Hao waved his hand.
Yes! Yu Chengwu responded, and immediately began to issue instructions.
Satellite command issued,
The satellite system is operating normally, the information exchange between the satellite and the ground is normal, and the image transmission is normal.
The satellite begins to change orbit!
With the launch of the command, the middle of the large screen began to show the angles of view of the surveillance cameras on the satellite and the impact information of the detection equipment. In the monitoring screen, gas is ejected from the engine nozzles of each part of the satellite, and the attitude of the satellite is being adjusted rapidly. With the ignition of the main engine of the micro-eruption, the speed of the satellite became significantly faster, and the distance from the target satellite was getting closer and closer.
At this time, Yu Chengwu also introduced to everyone: "Be extra careful when approaching this decommissioned weather satellite, because the data we detected may not be accurate.
This satellite has been decommissioned for seven or eight years, and we have no way of knowing whether its orbit has changed. What we have obtained is the relevant detection data in front of Qiba, as well as the ground telemetry data information.
It is not clear how far these data information are from the actual position of the satellite. In addition, seven or eight years have passed, and we have no way of knowing what state the satellite is in now.
So this requires us not to rely solely on ground data support, but to use our Huanwei-1 high-speed orbital debris removal experimental satellite to use the millimeter-wave radar, lidar, and image recognition system on it to autonomously detect and identify targets.
Please take a look at the target object information detected by our lidar. Judging from the lidar detection data information obtained now, the weather satellite is relatively complete as a whole, and it should not have suffered much damage, so it is relatively easy to capture. "
While Yu Chengwu was speaking, the large screen showed that the Huanwei-1 high-speed orbit debris removal experimental satellite was getting closer and closer to the weather satellite.
However, because it is above the daytime hemisphere at this moment, the image is black, and the intelligence detects its approximate shape through lidar and millimeter-wave radar.
Turn on the searchlights.
clear!
As the command was issued, the searchlights on the high-speed orbital debris removal experiment satellite Huanwei-1 turned on. However, what everyone sees is still a dark universe, and the weather satellite that has been damaged and decommissioned has not yet been seen.
The lidar shows that the distance between the Huanwei-1 high-speed orbit debris removal experimental satellite and the weather satellite is very close, only three to four hundred meters away.
Sanwei No. 1 started to slow down!
The deceleration was successful, and gradually approached.
Seeing it, someone suddenly shouted excitedly in the hall.
Sure enough, everyone finally saw a bright spot in the dark picture, it was very small. It was the light of the satellite reflecting the searchlight, and everyone was excited about it. In such a dark space, basically no bright spots can be seen, and this bright spot must be due to the existence of objects in front. Comparing the detection data of the lidar, this must be the scrapped weather satellite.
"Pay attention to speed!"
Despite his excitement, Yu Chengwu ordered calmly. He understood that the more critical a moment is, the more he should not be taken lightly.
Under the command of Yu Chengwu, the Huanwei-1 high-speed orbital debris removal experimental satellite is getting closer and closer to the defunct weather satellite. Under the illumination of the searchlight, everyone finally saw the whole picture of the satellite.
Because the satellite has been scrapped, it maintains a normal attitude, and the whole satellite is in a state of rolling and flying, basically belonging to the state of numerical control.
Lean over, pay attention to speed, pay attention to distance, slow down!
The Huanwei-1 high-speed orbital debris removal experimental satellite is still approaching, and it is getting closer and closer to the defunct weather satellite. Under the illumination of the searchlights, the thermal insulation film wrapped on the satellite still maintains a shiny golden look. This is a weather satellite, which is cylindrical in shape as a whole, has a large antenna, and two solar wing sails.
It's really a pity, if our Savior 1 went up this time, then this satellite has a good chance to return to normal. Wu Hao looked at the weather satellite on the screen and said with regret.
Wan Hongfei didn't speak after hearing his words. It was Luo Kai who spoke, and he said with a smile: "This satellite has been launched for almost 20 years, and it has been retired for seven or eight years. Even if it is repaired, it will be unbearable." It's very useful. It's better to capture it and separate it, clear the orbit and then launch a more advanced satellite~EbookFREE.me~ It's also what I said. Hearing Luo Kai's words, many experts present also nodded.
This is indeed the case. It has been 20 years since the satellite was launched. Its related technologies have fallen behind, and its various performances cannot meet the current needs, and it has lost its use value. It is also because of this that the relevant departments approved their experiment.
Regardless of the fact that this satellite has been decommissioned for seven or eight years, in fact it still has a certain value. Where it exists, the track exists. And this satellite can also play some other roles, such as becoming a good target for some anti-satellite or anti-missile weapons.
So if this experiment is not supported by the military, they may not be able to carry it out.
"Report, Huanwei-1 is in a synchronous position 30 meters away from the target satellite. The satellite's systems are operating normally, and the capture experiment can begin."
The No. 1 catch net is ready.
Catching Net No. 1 is ready!
emission!
