Yang Xiaoyun is not a professional technician, but she has been familiar with it for a long time, and with some professional studies, she is already familiar with this aspect, and she can talk about it endlessly.
Seeing Yang Xiaoyun finish speaking, Guo Yulong, the general person in charge of the spacecraft project, nodded and added: "We are also doing this to maximize benefits. If we want to build our own commercial space station in the future, we must have our own manned spacecraft and Cargo spaceship.
The cost of developing a cargo spacecraft specifically is too high, so we focused on manned spacecraft. Moreover, our manned spacecraft return capsule can be reused, so the cost will be further controlled and reduced.
In addition, this spacecraft has a very special function as a cargo spacecraft, that is, it can still achieve return and landing. In other words, we can directly transport some of the cargo on the space station back and achieve related recycling and reuse. Of course, you can also bring back some of the above experimental products to create relevant value. "
After listening to their introduction, Lin Wei, Zou Xiaodong and their entourage had a more detailed understanding of the unmanned experimental spacecraft and the return capsule. Of course, these are just some rough picks and what can be said. Some complex professional terms and some things that cannot be said cannot be said in front of these people on such an occasion.
While listening to their introduction, Wu Hao carefully observed the undetected parts of the return capsule shell. Looking at the burn marks on it, Wu Hao said, "How did our new thermal insulation coating perform this time?" ?”
Very ideal. Yu Chengwu said with a smile on his face: "Look, these are the burning marks of the new paint. They burn very evenly and protect the shell armor very well. Even when breaking through obstacles at high speed, the inside of the shell can still be burned. The temperature is controlled within the social allowable temperature range.”
With that said, Yu Chengwu asked someone to operate the computer, and then some comparison photos were displayed on the large screen hanging in the hall.
Please see, this is the appearance of our protective shell armor coated with new heat-insulating coating, and this piece is our ordinary alloy shell armor without new heat-insulating material.
Judging from the burning, this piece of protective shell armor coated with a new type of heat-insulating coating is still in good condition and has not been eroded much by high temperatures. There has not been much change in structure or appearance.
As for this piece of protective shell armor that has not been coated with new insulation materials, please see that after high temperature friction, melting and deformation have occurred. The contrast can be said to be very obvious.
While Yu Chengwu was talking, several sets of detailed comparison photos were also displayed on the big screen, which was indeed very obvious.
Wu Hao showed a satisfied expression when he saw this, and then said: "It is still necessary to test it a few more times to fully verify the reliability of this technology before it can be used with confidence.
You know, what we want to build is a manned spacecraft. We need to send people up safely, and we also need to send people down safely. When it comes to life safety, there is no room for carelessness. "
Understand that we will not use it on our manned spacecraft without fully verifying its reliability and safety. Yu Chengwu nodded and said solemnly.
How is the preparation of the Walker 2 unmanned experimental spacecraft? Can it meet the launch window? Wu Hao couldn't help but expressed concern again. Time was indeed very tight, so Wu Hao couldn't help but be a little worried.
Hearing his words, Guo Yulong nodded and said: "From the current point of view, the problem is not big, and all aspects are making orderly progress. If there are no unexpected situations, there will be no problem in catching up with the launch window. "
In other words, if something goes wrong, the launch window may be missed. Wu Hao heard a different meaning from Guo Yulong's words.
After hearing his words, few people spoke. Finally, Yu Chengwu nodded and replied: "The time is really tight at the moment. We are already going all out to ensure that the entire project can be carried out stably and orderly without delaying the launch window from late July to early August."
Regarding Yu Chengwu's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but frowned, glanced at the serious-looking people, thought for a moment, and then said: "The launch window from late July to early August must not be missed. Once we miss it, we will The queue may continue to be postponed until winter.”
Everyone couldn't help but nodded in agreement after hearing this. The Northwest Space Launch Center has a very intensive launch mission, especially manned space launch missions, so the launch window task is very tight. If you miss it, it can only be postponed.
A series of other planned launch projects cannot be rescheduled because of your delay, so if you miss it, you miss it. If the project is delayed, the impact on them will definitely be huge.
So thinking of this, Wu Hao couldn't help but look at everyone and continued: "We must leave some time before the stipulated deadline, and then conduct additional technical verification and overall investigation to ensure that the entire project is foolproof.
This will definitely squeeze your preparation time, but it is necessary.
So I think this way, you can transfer some project personnel from other project teams as appropriate to temporarily participate in this project.
What we have to do now is to ensure the smooth launch of HaoWangzhe-2 on time. "
However, in this way, the transfer of researchers from other projects will inevitably affect the progress of a series of other projects. Zhou Xiangming couldn't help but worry.
Wu Hao waved his hand after hearing this: "You have to focus on something. This project is very important. If we weigh the pros and cons, we can only sacrifice other projects to gain time for this project.
In addition, as long as it is well coordinated with other projects, transferring a few people will not affect other projects too much.
The most important thing is that other projects do not need to be launched at the Northwest Space Launch Center. Do you understand what I mean? "
Hearing his words, Yu Chengwu's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, compared to the Northwest Space Launch Center, the launch window times of other launch sites are much more coordinated.
And if the coordination is proper, the transfer of a few people will have little impact on the operation of these projects. I think it can be done. "
Hearing his words, Guo Yulong nodded and responded: "If we can add some more manpower, it can buy us a lot of time. But in this case, the chief engineers of other projects will have opinions on me."
Haha, if they have any opinions, let them come to me. Wu Hao waved and smiled: "What we have to do now is to ensure the normal progress of our manned spaceflight project. This is the cornerstone of our space exploration project."
