Chapter 1764: Hughes

What kind of business can you do in Eagle Country?

Qin Guan knows that it is not easy to find business from here. Chips are one aspect, but mobile communications have not been promoted. They are mainly promoted in second-tier countries, where there is little resistance, and here, it is not possible to enter for the time being.

In other words, it is daily necessities. Real high-tech products are definitely rare. However, Qin Guan knew that a new era would soon arrive.

Relying on the other party’s airliner crash, creating public opinion, and finally letting Douglas go bankrupt and sold off, Qin Guan did a beautiful job. Now, more than half of 1985 has passed, and in 1986, there will be other incidents. Not in aviation, but in aerospace.

At the beginning of 1986, the Challenger space shuttle exploded during its take-off process. This was a huge disaster in the history of world spaceflight. Seven astronauts were killed in space, including a teacher. , Planning to go to space to do a class.

At the same time, then, Eagle Country’s Hercules rocket, Europa’s Ariane rocket, failed to launch one after another. For a while, commercial aerospace launch, there was a short blank window period, this window period is for its own space A good opportunity for the commercial launch.

We will not take advantage of the fire, but since the opportunity has arrived, of course we have to grasp it. It will be next year. Therefore, this year, I will go around here and try to get more launch opportunities, even if it is to let the other party understand It's good to take a look at one's own side. After they find that all kinds of rockets have been exploding, they will think of their own side.

Now we are ready.

Qin Guan had this purpose. He stayed here for two days before waiting for the rocket expert Wang Lao who came from China.

In the 1950s, Wang graduated from the Capital Aeronautical Institute majoring in aircraft design. Although he was engaged in aircraft, he was assigned to the rocket department after graduation and became the subordinate of Tu Lao, the famous long-range launch vehicle chief designer.

Now, he is the chief designer and commander of the Long March 2 low-orbit launch vehicle; the chief designer of the Long March 3A and the deputy director of the Launch Vehicle Technology Research Institute.

After receiving Qin Guan's news, he immediately came over by plane. Now, looking at Qin Guan, Mr. Wang was quite excited.

"President Qin, where shall we go to see?"

"Go to Hughes Company first." Qin Guan said: "I have already contacted in advance. Let's go to Hughes Company for inspection."

Recently, Qin Guan is a snake swallowing elephant, and he is actually planning to eat Douglas. This is definitely something that all insiders are paying attention to. Aerospace is not divided into families. Many companies engaged in aviation are also engaged in aerospace. So, when Qin Guan came to Hughes with the delegation, Robert, the manager of the aerospace and communications department of Hughes, came out to meet him in person.

The Hughes company was also born in the war years. After the war, the Hughes company set up a helicopter department to specialize in the development of helicopters. The AH64 Apache is their masterpiece. Unfortunately, it is puzzling that McDonnell Douglas used Five hundred million eagle yuan, they bought their helicopter department.

Of course, McDonnell did not have the last laugh.

Although Hughes abandoned the helicopter division, in other respects, they are still strong.

After the war, Hughes focused on providing the Air Force with integrated automatic navigation and bombing targeting systems for strategic bombers, as well as air-to-air missiles and fire control systems for interceptors.

Many well-known airborne radars are produced by Hughes. Then, Hughes gradually expanded its business to computers, radar equipment, optoelectronic systems, missiles, satellites, and so on.

Especially in aerospace, Hughes has achieved many firsts, such as the world's first synchronous communications satellite, the "Surveyor" probe completed the first fully controllable soft landing on the moon, and so on.

Hughes is definitely the world's authority on satellites, accounting for almost 40% of the world's share. Now they are constantly producing various satellites.

If you want to get a contract, of course, the best thing is to go directly to the satellite manufacturer. They only make satellites, and the launch is handed over to others. Since others can receive it, Han will also be able to receive it.

"Hughes is the overlord in the satellite field. We are here this time to investigate." Qin Guan said: "It is a great honor to be here to visit you. In terms of aerospace, we still have a lot to learn. "

Qin Guan's attitude is very humble. Robert also admires such a person who stirs up the wind and rain. After introducing him to other experts, Robert took everyone and first visited the factory.

Making satellites is absolutely the most sophisticated. They wear special dust-proof clothing, and after several more filtrations, they finally enter.

In the clean and tidy workshop, the staff is orderly assembling.

"The latest generation of communication satellites we are currently developing is the HS601 satellite. This satellite is three-axis stable and is mainly used for signal forwarding. It can be deployed in large elliptical orbits or in stationary orbits. This satellite has already been ordered by customers."

As a satellite company, the satellites they developed must be sold to make money. For Hughes, selling satellites is no problem. There are so many broadcasters and television companies in the world that need them. Satellites broadcast programs, their product performance is reliable and stable, and customers are very satisfied.

Now, even the guests of Han Guo are potential customers. Let me introduce them, if there is one more user.

The other party is generous, not bad for money.

After a satellite enters space, it must operate in a stable state. Ordinary satellites have a stable spin and spin up before launch, just like a bullet shot from a muzzle spinning out.

This is to use the gyroscope to fix the axis to keep the satellite's rotation axis spontaneously stable. However, because only one axis is stable and controllable, the design of the satellite must be symmetrically distributed, with limited load, and communication with the ground. The antenna can only be installed on this rotation axis. At the same time, attitude control and orbit control are troublesome.

In order to change this shortcoming, three-axis stabilization appeared. This is the latest technology. Simply put, the satellite does not rotate and the body is stable in the three directions of X, Y, and Z. In this way, the previous shortcomings are overcome. However, attitude control is difficult. At present, only Hughes has implemented this technology on this latest satellite.
