Um?
Mars stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the computer screen in front of the engineer.
In the picture displayed on the computer screen, one satellite after another turned from green to red, and even turned to gray after flashing a few times.
"This is the Starlink V0.9 version satellite launched in May 1019 of the Xiayin celestial calendar. There are 60 satellites in total. Six of them have lost control and six have crashed.
Each satellite of this type has a launch mass of 227 kg and is equipped with a Ku-band antenna, a Hall thruster using krypton as a working fluid, multiple high-flux antennas and a solar array. Using star sensors as navigation information, we can use the satellite debris data provided by our official guofang to autonomously avoid collisions.
The engineer carefully pointed at these out-of-control satellites and explained the basic information.
"So these satellites that went out of control and crashed before were all because their technology was several years behind the times and could they be so easily controlled by others?"
The engineer confirmed the chairman's guess.
He said: "Yes, the satellites that went out of control before were also low-version satellites. For example, Starlink V1.0 only upgraded the Ka-band antenna, and the launch mass of a single satellite increased to 260 kilograms. Starlink V1.5 satellites also Only including inter-satellite laser link transmission, the mass is about 295 kg.
The technologies they use were all developed a few years ago, and the rigor of program access is almost incomparable to our current Starlink V2.0.
Starlink V2.0 uses more materials than Starlink V1 and carries more advanced technologies. Its communication bandwidth is one to two times more powerful than previous versions of satellites, an order of magnitude. Our company started launching V2 last year. .0 version of the Starlink satellite. "
Just when the engineer was calmly talking about how powerful the most advanced satellite technology is at this stage, a relatively large satellite icon also began to flash red. After a few seconds, the larger satellite icon The icon also turns gray.
Mars Krypton saw that in the data chart column on the right side of the display screen, the number of damaged satellites had increased.
He unconsciously closed his eyes, covered his face with his hands, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, stared at the chief engineer, and asked: "What generation is the satellite that just lost control and fell?"
The engineer replied calmly: "Which satellite fell out of control a second ago is a Starlink V1.5 satellite. It contains inter-satellite laser link transmission. Each satellite has a mass of about 295 kg. Before it fell to the ground It should be fully burned out, and even if there is a small amount left, it will generally not be able to cause much damage."
Although the engineer's expression was calm, Mars Krypton still caught the loophole in his answer.
"One second ago? I'm asking about the satellite I just saw! Not the nonsense about one second or two seconds ago!"
Seeing this, the engineer knew that he could no longer circumvent this problem, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm and replied: "It's 2.0 Mini, but you also know that this model of satellite has always had technical problems. They The satellite altitude has been gradually decreasing.
You also said that some of the V2 Mini satellites may deorbit, so this is not an incomprehensible problem. "
Hearing the engineer's answer, Mars felt like he was having a mental illness.
His face turned red and he danced: "Damn! Pulis! What are you talking about? Are you telling these lies that I feel embarrassed to hear?!
I was the one who used these lies to deceive reporters and users! Now you are still trying to deceive me with these lies? ! Deceive me Mars Krypton! ?
Those damn satellites, NONONO, are not damn satellites, they are satellites made of gold. What are you people talking about? ! Are the satellites from two or three years ago technologically outdated? !
There are so many satellites in orbit, but our SpaceX Starlink satellites are the only ones losing control one after another, and then crashing towards the ground? !
Farke! I'm going to mess with Fake! ! ! Don't you think about why these satellites don't just explode and disintegrate in orbit, and then smash the satellites and aircraft of other Guo Jia, companies, and institutions into garbage? !
We will give you hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars or even equity incentives every year. When SpaceX goes public in the future, you will all become multi-millionaires or even billionaires!
Then you just watch this goal getting further and further away from you? Are you still deceiving me with such a calm face? !
Farke! ! Farke! ! "
A long paragraph of extremely dirty words spewed out from Masik's mouth like a waterfall.
Everyone sitting there was sprayed with bloody sprays. Even the assistant who came in carrying documents was pointed at by Musk and shouted angrily: "What are you going to report again? What if it's some more rubbish?" It’s useless, I guarantee you will see another person sitting there when you go to work tomorrow!!”
The assistant's hurried footsteps stopped instantly.
The high heels left an ugly mark on the floor.
Then a document was handed to Maskrypton.
"Boss, this is an encrypted letter from a certain corner building. You must read and sign it alone."
"Mary, you have kept your job." Maskrypton took the document, then glanced at the engineers sitting there, and said with a cold expression: "I hope you can also keep this hard-won job. The current employment here The environment is not good, think about your families and your assets."
After saying that, Mars Krypton walked towards the door step by step.
He was going to the office to look through the document in a certain corner building carefully.
But when he just crossed the door of the operation hall, the chief engineer's voice stopped him.
"Boss, satellite 2444 is out of control, the internal temperature has increased sharply, and the attitude engine is not running!"
Later, another engineer shouted: "After the 2414 satellite also lost control, the attitude engine cannot operate!"
"Technical Department! We can't get the correct password!"
"Communications Department! We cannot build new communication channels. Please let users switch lines and use satellite services on other lines!"
"Immediately investigate the security protection procedures. There is a virus and Trojan horse spreading parasitically through communications!"
Is twenty satellites a lot?
Zhang Xiaozhui watched the red dot satellites on the orbital map gradually disappear. He asked Siman and the command center what was going on.
The responses from the intelligent program AI Sinan and the command center were surprisingly consistent: "The company will always protect the ship, please sail with confidence!"
Can you still sail with confidence?
Twenty fireworks caused complete chaos within SpaceX. Engineers, scientists, and mathematicians were all reprimanded in various ways. Musk has no so-called "sympathy" at all. He only cares about whether his own goal can be accomplished.
