Vol 2 Chapter 753: New launch plan for deep space probes in solar system

"Sell less! Tell me more about the specific data!" Lei Tiantang couldn't help laughing and cursing after seeing this guy triumphantly talking there.
"Hey, boss, I'm just about to say this!" Zhang Hanxiu smiled.
"That's it. The largest ion engine currently in use internationally is only 30 kilometers per second, but the maximum effect of the ion engine we are testing now can reach more than ten times this number!
Its composition includes 3 connected linear magnetic units. The front unit controls the injection and ionization of gaseous propellant. The central magnetic unit acts as an amplifier to further heat the plasma to the input state required by the magnetic nozzle. The magnetic unit acts as a magnetic nozzle, transforming the thermal energy of the fluid into a directional jet, while protecting the nozzle wall and effectively separating the plasma from the magnetic field.
During its work, hydrogen is injected into the front magnetic unit, where it is ionized. The generated plasma is then heated by ion cyclotron resonance in the central magnetic unit through the combined action of radio frequency and magnetic field to reach the required temperature and density. At this time, all the energy is almost distributed in the radial direction.
The magnetic nozzle converts the energy of the plasma into jet velocity and ensures that the plasma is effectively separated from the magnetic field. It outputs an adjusted thrust and converts the radial energy to the axial direction, which allows its thrust to reach the exit velocity. Switch between 30-400km/s.
Of course, this data is simulated test data. What we are looking forward to is the real first physical test data. This is the reason why everyone stayed to work overtime. We all want to see its test results as soon as possible! "With Zhang Hanxiu's explanation, Origin also projected the specific data and working mode of this ion engine in real time.
"This data is very good! Can its size fit on a satellite? I think the guy who is currently testing is not small!"
Lei Tiantang is very satisfied with the data, but he is curious about whether such a large figure has practical value? Seeing the big guy spraying blue flames in the quarantine area, he felt that there was something wrong.
"Boss, you misunderstood! Indeed, the ion engine we tested now has a maximum diameter of 2.4 meters and a length of 9.5 meters, but it is not for satellites!
Of course, it’s not that it can’t be used on satellites. It’s just that the size needs to be reduced. But even if the size is reduced, its thrust can reach up to 100 kilometers per second. As long as this one passes the test, it’s small Testing will also be carried out one after another.
The ion engine we temporarily named SY-220907 is designed for the company’s first-generation spacecraft. We estimate that as long as it is equipped with 8 ion engines of this size, the company’s first-generation spacecraft will be able to travel in the solar system. Deep space flight in here!
And in order to verify this technology, we have also made certain modifications to our future solar system deep space exploration plan! "Speaking of this, Zhang Hanxiu couldn't help but began to sell it.
"Hurry up! Look at you!" Lei Tiantang heard the key point and found that this guy stopped again and couldn't help but pat his shoulder vigorously.
"Ah! Tell me! Boss, your hand strength is really great!" Zhang Hanxiu grinned and rubbed his shoulders with his hands.
Seeing my boss raised his hand again, he sneered and said: "Since the design of this engine is completed, we have been thinking, this spacecraft knows when the design can be completed, then our engine completed the first one so long in advance. The design work of the generation, is it just put here after the design is completed?
Can it be used in spacecraft in practical applications? We have to find a way to test it, right? Just relying on simulation experiments is not a bullshit!
So after everyone brainstormed, they came up with a test plan, that is-the combined deep space probe launch plan!
This new launch plan for deep space probes is to launch four SY-220907 ion engines into the earth’s orbit, and then combine them with brackets, and then combine the multiple Jupiter, Saturn and Saturn probes we need to launch. Their satellite probes and several more distant planetary probes are also launched into the earth's orbit.
Speaking of the boss here, you know what we are planning. At this step, we can fix all these detectors to the support of the ion engine to form a spaceship-like combination, using these 4 SY-220907 The thrust of the ion engine drives this combination to the planets of these probes.
The corresponding detectors are launched every time they approach a target, so that not only the time for these detectors to fly from the earth to detecting the target can be greatly reduced, but also because the detectors have not consumed much fuel during the flight~www.mtlnovel .com~ The working time of the probe after reaching the target's orbit will be greatly extended, which is very beneficial to our solar system exploration plan!
In this way, we can not only test whether the performance of the SY-220907 ion engine can meet the design requirements of the company's first-generation solar system spacecraft, but also save our solar system exploration program at least 5 years, and the total launch cost can also be saved. At least 6 billion yuan like this! "
"Okay! Your design is very good!" Lei Tiantang couldn't help applauding and admiring seeing the detector assembly projected by Origin.
"It seems that your consideration is very thorough! Even the initial speed is considered!" Lei Tiantang pointed to the two rocket engines outside the four SY-220907 ion engines of the combination and laughed.
"Of course the boss! Anyway, our design can already save the company so much money, so in order to save a little bit of flight time for the combination, it is very necessary to install two rocket thrusters on it.
The two rocket engines can accelerate the flight speed of the combined body to 30 kilometers per second before the fuel is burned and the combined body is abandoned. If this speed is accelerated by the combined body's ion engine itself, it will take about 30 days. time.
Adding two rocket boosters can save a month. This account is still very cost-effective, and the design of this combination is not the final draft. Our laboratory is experimenting with a new solar sail design. If our new solar sail design can meet the design requirements, then we can add a solar sail booster to this combination. "Zhang Hanxiu called up a new assembly design drawing while talking.
