Some people may think that this is nothing, just re-launch some satellites to replace the destroyed satellites.
That's possible, but it's not that simple.
In fact, various aerospace powers have indeed prepared some spare satellites, rockets, and even spacecraft. It can be used for rapid launch in emergency situations to replace damaged satellites in space orbit.
In wartime, it can also be quickly launched up to quickly replace those satellites destroyed by the enemy.
However, the situation is not that simple. It involves another very thorny issue, that is, space orbital debris, that is, space junk.
There is already a lot of garbage in space orbit. If such a war really breaks out and these satellites and spacecraft in orbit are destroyed, a large amount of space debris will be formed, filling the entire orbit. Earth orbit.
Moreover, the debris exploded by these destroyed satellites will also spread to other orbits, threatening or directly destroying satellites and spacecraft in other orbits, thus creating a chain reaction.
By that time, the entire orbit around the Earth will be full of garbage. It will be difficult for these newly launched satellites to survive, and they will easily be hit and damaged by debris floating around.
Although everyone is aware of the impact of such a space war, in fact, no one has stopped. Instead, they have paid more attention to the research of anti-satellite weapon technology and invested more.
In view of this form, how to deal with the threat of these anti-satellite weapons, especially the two types of hard-kill anti-satellite weapons, common-orbit type and direct ascent type, is also a topic that the major space powers are studying.
Therefore, the variable orbit technology of satellites was born. However, this did increase the survivability of satellites in wartime, but it did not actually solve the fundamental threat.
Now Zhou Yonghui proposes to install the missile-borne anti-aircraft missile incoming warning and sensing system on the anti-missile smart penetration missile on the satellite, so that the satellite will have certain early warning and defense capabilities against anti-satellite missiles and anti-satellite satellites. This is simply great.
I am afraid that if this news is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar internationally.
According to relevant space conventions, it seems that the deployment of weapons is not allowed in space. Zhang Jun said at this time.
Zhou Yonghui smiled and shook his head and said: "It is because of this space convention that we have indeed joined. However, what the convention orders for competition is actually the deployment of those killer weapons. There are actually no restrictions on conventional weapons.
In addition, astronauts from various countries actually carry self-defense weapons when performing space missions. However, it is not used in space, but is used to cope with special circumstances and deviate from the landing to areas that are difficult for personnel to reach for a while. In order to prevent astronauts from being threatened by wild beasts or other threats, it is equipped with self-defense weapons. "
At this point, Zhou Yonghui smiled and changed his tone and said: "Of course, if anti-interception missiles or other weapons are really equipped in space, there will be some controversy.
I won’t go into the specific reasons. In fact, everyone knows that, in the final analysis, we have it and others don’t have it. Why don’t we let others say something?
However, even if it is not equipped with interceptor missiles and other anti-interception weapon systems, relying solely on the early warning and sensing capabilities of this anti-aircraft missile incoming early warning and sensing system, it is completely possible to change orbits to avoid enemy missiles and satellites before they arrive. Incoming missiles and satellites, so as to protect themselves to the greatest extent.
Of course, once we are in wartime, we can no longer care about these things. Who cares about these rules and regulations. If we really take these rules into consideration, then there will probably be no war.
Therefore, we believe that this technology is still very necessary and preliminary research work can be carried out. Regardless of whether the equipment is used or not, we need to grasp it first. We may not use it, but we cannot live without it. We must be prepared. "
After hearing Zhou Yonghui's words, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun also nodded. They are not novices, and they are not so naive that those papers and rules will be of any use during the war.
As a saying goes, agreements are meant to be torn down, and the truth is only within the range of artillery fire.
So if we really have this technology, if we really encounter such a space war in the future, we can have an invincible trump card and seize the opportunity.
"Is there any technical problem?" Wu Hao asked.
Listening to the question raised by Wu Hao, Lin Jiaming smiled and shook his head and said: "After discussing with Mr. Zhou of Haoyu Aerospace and several other engineers, we jointly believed that this space satellite version of the anti-satellite missile incoming early warning and sensing system is in In fact, there is not much of a technical problem, but it may be simpler than the anti-missile smart penetration missile.
Because of the special environment of space, we don’t have to consider volume and weight, let alone aerodynamics, center of gravity, energy, etc.
Therefore, it is easier to develop and deploy, but there is a problem involved. That is, this technology is relatively easy to develop, but it is more difficult to actually experiment.
Although we have good strength in the field of aerospace technology, we still lack large-scale basic space observation equipment. In this regard, we need to seek help from the aerospace system.
In addition, this can also be regarded as an anti-satellite experiment. Once it starts, it will inevitably cause huge adverse effects. If we alone deal with it, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
Finally, it is because this space satellite version of the anti-satellite missile incoming early warning and sensing system does not have much room for development in our hands. We can't equip the satellites we develop with this thing, as it might not be suitable.
Therefore, our opinion is that we still hope to cooperate with the aerospace system. In this way, we do not have to worry about the previous problems and only need to be responsible for the technical development work.
Of course, this will certainly result in the loss of some benefits, but it will have a huge promotion effect on our country's national defense and aerospace industries, which I think is very beneficial. "
Okay, I agree with you. Wu Hao nodded and looked at the two of them and confirmed: "You are right, this technology really cannot play a big role in our hands, it is better to submit it in advance.
Besides, although we are a private enterprise, we still shoulder corresponding social and national responsibilities. Even ordinary people are responsible for the actions of the state, let alone us. So I support your choice. Don’t get psychological counseling, don’t worry about the little gains and losses, and take a long-term view.
What's more, the country won't let us suffer, right? "(End of chapter)
