I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 830 The launch of the detector combination that the whole world is paying attention to

During this period of time, the outside world has maintained a very high degree of attention to the relevant launch missions of the Infinite Gravity Group, especially those astronomy enthusiasts and technology fans are just like festivals, they are on the Internet and in reality. discussion.

You must know that the large man-made objects in Earth orbit that they could see with their own telescopes was an International Space Station, and of course, the Tiangong Space Station, which completed a phased mission last year.

But this year is different. The Infinite Gravity Group suddenly has 3 large-scale assemblies in Earth orbit that can be observed. One is the 'Nantianmen' space station that has begun to take shape, and the remaining 2 are relay satellite assemblies. There is also an asteroid belt probe combination!

In particular, the combination of these two detectors has received even more attention than the 'Nantianmen' space station. After all, the space station is not a rare thing for everyone, and now there are three floating in the sky. A space station, this thing can be seen if you want.

But the launch of these two detector assemblies is different. You must know that although the Infinite Gravity Group has announced such a launch plan before, how can the dry data and PPT pictures be the same as what everyone can do now? Compared to the behemoth seen through the telescope!

You must know that even if it is a relatively small relay satellite detector combination, its overall length has reached 160 meters. The largest width is the combination of the rocket thruster and ion engine at the rear. The diameter here is It also reaches the size of 25 meters!

The asteroid belt probe assembly is more than twice the size of the relay satellite, so the entire assembly is nearly one-third larger than it!

Such a large size is even much larger than the International Space Station in terms of scale, and such a large size is of course more attractive.

The reason why they have attracted so much attention is mainly due to the huge folding solar sail with a diameter of 100 meters on the composite body.

After the foldable solar sails on the two assemblies were assembled, an opening and closing test was carried out respectively to test whether the performance of the solar sails could meet the design requirements. It can successfully complete its mission.

It was these two test missions that attracted the attention of the world. Because of the detailed tests, the folded solar sail orbited the earth 8 times after it was fully opened, and lasted about 10 hours.

The reason why they can attract attention is mainly because the gold-coated solar sails are so shiny after reflecting the sunlight!

During the 10 hours of their testing, people all over the world were able to see their shining light with the naked eye, and their brightness was the same as that of two stars 20 times brighter than first-magnitude stars in the sky. In the same way, even the light of the sun can't block its shine, how can such a man-made miracle not be amazing!

Even if the solar sail is put away after the test is completed, the two combinations can be seen in the earth's orbit with the kind of telescope that can be bought for a few hundred dollars, and many people can take pictures of them. Photos or videos to show off, because it's really a cool thing.

Because posting such photos or videos can get a lot of likes every time, this is of course a must for these pushy people!

With the official announcement of the Infinite Gravity Group, after all satellites and components of the relay satellite assembly have been launched, everyone's attention has increased to a peak!

Because the meaning of this is very clear, that is, this large-scale satellite launch mission of the first innovative model of mankind is about to officially begin!

You must know that it is not that humans have not launched missions with more than 100 satellites at one time. There have been several such launches so far.

But these satellites launched by one arrow with multiple satellites are basically small satellites with very small mass.

For example, in 2017, the space research organization of the three countries launched a record 104 satellites on February 15, of which 101 were aliens.

However, the total mass of the payload of this launch is only a pitiful figure of 1380 kilograms. This weight is less than the three relay satellites that the Infinite Gravity Group is now launching. With such a comparison, you can know why this launch is. It was called by the media as an unprecedented and history-making launch mission!

You must know that the relay satellite combination that the Infinite Gravity Group is about to launch is 60,000 kilograms in weight, or 60 tons.

Coupled with the combination's bracket, rocket booster and carried fuel, ion engine, solar sail, and top deep space probe, etc., the scale of the launch of the entire combination is really amazing!

Not to mention that the meaning of launch is also different. The significance of launching earth-orbiting satellites is completely incomparable to those relay satellites that the Infinite Gravity Group is about to launch from Earth orbit into the solar system.

Lei Tiantang is also paying attention to this launch, although it is said that both the relay satellite assembly to be launched soon and the asteroid belt probe assembly to be launched next month are all new types of the Deep Space Laboratory. The probe launch program's experimental launch missions, but that doesn't mean they mean less to the company.

You must know that the manufacturing and launching costs of these detectors have reached the figure of 1.2 billion US dollars. If Lei Tiantang doesn't care much about the investment in money, then he is very concerned about the time issue.

Although these two launch missions are technical verification projects, whether they are relay satellites or asteroid belt probes, they have a lot of tasks to perform. If the launch fails, it will really delay the company. If the launch mission is serious, it will even delay the company's follow-up space program.

So even if he knew that the entire launch process could be seen in real time from the company headquarters, Lei Tiantang flew to the 'Gaia' rocket launch base himself to cheer them on.

And because the launch mission is carried out in Earth orbit, there is nothing to see on the ground base, so no one was invited to visit the base this time, so this combination launch will be directly at the company.
