Chapter 2536: Ask for help

Coconut Island Space Base.
"If you want to reissue the satellite quickly, it is the fastest to use a solid rocket." The huge Long March 5 rocket has been launched. It will take a while for the launch pad to be cleared out for the next launch, but Yedao China’s space base has more than one launch pad. If you look down from the sky, it has five launch pads, presenting an arc along the coastline. The scale of this space city is quite huge.
The launch pads vary in size. Some launch heavy rockets, some launch manned spacecraft, and some are relatively small, used to launch solid rockets from Han.
For example, now, on the third launch pad, there is a small rocket.
In terms of size, it is indeed a small thing. The length of the entire rocket is only about 20 meters. At the same time, the maximum diameter is only two meters. Such a rocket looks relatively compact, and there is no booster bundled underneath. Because of its launch capacity is very limited.
"Our Long March 4 rocket currently has a carrying capacity of 700 kilograms in low-Earth orbit, and adopts the international universal star and rocket interface, which can meet the diverse launch needs of different mission loads and different orbits. If necessary, we can also Launched into sun-synchronous orbit, the mission load will be reduced to 400 kilometers. Of course, this is only the initial rocket. With the advancement of technology, we plan to increase its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity to two tons."
Compared with the Long March 2’s largest low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 9 tons, the Long March 5’s more than 20 tons, and a small solid rocket such as the Long March 4 has a carrying capacity of only 700 kilograms. It’s a few tons, but not all satellites are big. Even the most common GPS navigation satellite in Eagle Country is only 800 kilograms. With the development of technology, the weight of satellites is increasing. The smaller, so the development of this solid rocket is quite marketable. The biggest advantage is that it is flexible and can be launched at any time.
Now, of course, this satellite is also owned by Eagle Country. A communication satellite in earth orbit, the launch cost is 100 million, which is much cheaper than the previous launch. But for Han, the aerospace industry has also made great achievements. With the success of this, there is no need to worry about the loss of space launches in the future, they are making money!
While discussing the specific launch issue, suddenly, the scholar hurried over: "Mr. Qin, that Oort said to see you."
He wants to see me? What's the matter? Is it about the orbit of the last launched satellite? Qin Guan didn't want to see it, but after thinking about it, it was his client, or he went out with the scholars.
The Eagles were not qualified to enter the aerospace center of Han. They could only wait outside. Now in the guest house, the impatient Oort finally saw Qin Guan and immediately said to Qin Guan, "Mr. Qin, We have one thing and hope you can help."
"I, assist you?" Qin Guan asked, "Do you have more satellites for us to launch? The next Long March 5 is still being assembled, and it will take about half a month to launch."
"It's not about the Long March 5, it's your spacecraft. We know that you have developed the Shenzhou spacecraft. Can this spacecraft dock with the Mir space station?" Oort asked.
Docking with the Mir space station? Isn't that from Xiong Country? Even if we want to connect, what is your business?
Qin Guan became more and more confused.
"What do you want to do?" Qin Guan asked.
"If you can dock, then we hope that your spacecraft will be able to carry out a flight mission, dock to the Mir, and then bring back our three astronauts."
"Your astronaut, on the Mir?" Qin Guan was even more surprised.
After the end of the lunar exploration program, the Eagle country and the Xiong country took different paths. The Eagle country vigorously developed the space shuttle, while the Xiong country built the space station. Although the Xiong country also built the space shuttle Blizzard, it did not catch up with the opportunity. Without success, Xiong Country will be gone.
Now, Xiong's space station technology has developed to the third generation. The Mir space station is the pride of Xiong. It weighs 123 tons and has a volume of 470 cubic meters. The astronauts of Xiongguo often stay in space. In years, these are unmatched by the space shuttle.
In recent years, the relationship between the bear country and the eagle country has eased. Although there is competition for hegemony in space, there is also cooperation. For example, the two sides have docked in space and shook hands symbolically on each other’s spacecraft. The Mir had been docked, but now, Qin Guan did not expect the astronauts of the Eagle country to be on board the Mir.
This is not scientific.
"That's it. Our space shuttle Grubia has some malfunctions. In order to avoid danger, our space shuttle Grubia docked with the Mir space station in the bear country. We are temporarily in the space station. We plan to rent a spaceship from Bear Country, but it can only accommodate three people. Therefore, we plan to rent your spaceship and take the remaining three people back."
Qin Guan widened his eyes: "What did you say?"
At the beginning, Qin Guan used his own system to replace those satellites of the Eagle Kingdom with space junk. He just wanted to retaliate. He didn't expect that there would be so many benefits in the follow-up. The Eagle people asked him to help launch the satellites and made a lot of money. This is also acceptable, and now, Eagle Nation actually asks itself to help pick up the crew members on their space shuttle, which is almost beyond imagination.
You really dare to use it. Our spacecraft has only launched two unmanned spacecraft. Now, although the third ship is preparing and planning to be on board, it has not yet officially tested for flight. ?
The Mir space station is a behemoth. On top of it, there will be a spaceship next to it all the year round. This is also normal, because astronauts must come on the spacecraft to get on the space station. When they leave, they will take the spacecraft to leave. When they were working, the spacecraft stayed outside. Because the astronauts spent a long time on it, these spacecraft would often hang in outer space for a year or a half before coming down.
Under normal circumstances, there is only one spacecraft on the Mir. The Eagles are going to rent them, and Xiong will have to launch another one. However, it is impossible for the second ship to be used by the Eagles. They have to keep their own spacecraft. For personnel, if an accident occurs on the space station, the astronauts have to evacuate urgently.
A spaceship can only accommodate three people, and the Eagle's space shuttle has six people on board, so they have to use another one.
So, they thought of Han, which surprised Qin Guan very much. You really dare to drive a car that hasn't completed the test run?
Eagle country people, must have encountered a big problem, right?
