The rebirth or rebirth of artificial satellites is actually not that simple.

With the participation of Pioneer Aerospace Company, people can intuitively see the process of scientific engineers making satellites. It seems very simple, just install some things prepared in advance.

In fact, this is just what is seen and displayed in front of the camera. After the camera, engineers have a lot of things to do, and even the engineers in front of the camera are not enough. There are also a large number of personnel, facilities and resources running around this artificial satellite.

However, for the first time humans upgraded and transformed artificial satellites in outer space, it doesn't seem difficult and gives more confidence to people.

Face the universe and the future of mankind!

There are even some thoughts: Can satellites be manufactured directly in space in the future?

It is of course difficult to manufacture directly from scratch in space. After all, the only manufacturing equipment in space is the manufacturing center of the Heavenly Space Station. Its overall size is only more than 30 meters multiplied by more than ten meters. This size may not be as large as a production equipment on the ground.

There are also some manufacturing equipment in the lunar base, but the size is smaller than the manufacturing center. A manufacturing center can match several lunar modules.

By the way, there are also a few small 3D printers in the International Space Station and the Tiangong Palace, which is even smaller.

In fact, what people think is that the production stage of parts is still on the ground. After all, there is a complete production system on the ground, and it is a fool to abandon it. People say that manufacturing satellites in space is to make parts on the ground, then transport them to space in large packages, and finally assemble them in the maintenance cabin.

If the overall satellite is transported from the ground to space, there are too many things to consider, so much is not necessary for artificial satellites to operate in space, but for the overall satellites to transport from the ground to space, those things are also necessary.

If it is just a part, the structural strength of the single body is definitely much greater than that of an artificial satellite. As long as it is packaged well, it can be violently sent to space.

When satellite assembly is carried out in space, the auxiliary structures related to "violent transportation" will definitely not be needed, so the same platform can add more equipment to increase the proportion of satellite's practical functions to the highest level.

However, this needs to be redesigned and may not be able to come out for a while.

However, the test items are directly carried out in space, and the test items are still scrapped. The semi-scrapped satellite platform does not seem to be expensive, so it can be carried out!

It's a good future direction!

Soon, Pilot and Tianxia's first space upgrade and assembly satellite was transported out of the maintenance compartment and after it was running normally, everyone felt very happy that human aerospace technology took another big step forward.

The news says that the earth is so dangerous and the environment is so harsh. But for ordinary humans, the environment on earth is so harsh, compared with other planets in the solar system, it is simply a paradise, as if the development of aerospace technology is not very important.

But humans like to watch the fun, so they are also very excited when aerospace technology continues to move forward.

They also want to see what is in the mysterious space.

For example, in the Three-Body Galaxy next door, are there any Three-Body Humans?

Because the star system next door is closest to the solar system, humans have the most imaginations.

After all, even the most recent star system has been analyzed, with human aerospace technology level, it will take at least hundreds of years to fly there.

Hundreds of years...

At that time, I really couldn't imagine what the human world was.

At least from now on, resource recycling in Earth's orbit has begun.

However, because communication is a question, the Navigator is currently working with Tianxia to salvage Tianxia's satellites, revive them and upgrade them.

Their work speed is quite fast, and four satellites were repaired in half a month.

This includes the first satellite to be redesigned and upgraded from scratch, which took ten days.

The reason why four satellites can be built in half a month is that some satellites do not need to go as hard as they are, while some satellites just need to refuel fuel once.

The current fuel questions can be taken over by the lunar base. After all, at the beginning, it was just to provide fuel supply to satellites and "worker bee" spacecraft, and the daily consumption was not high, so there was nothing to ask about the supply of the lunar base.

Although these fuels require the Moon spacecraft to transport from the moon, its transportation consumption is much smaller than that of the "closely close" earth.

After all, this is a problem with gravity and the atmosphere.

With sufficient fuel, the engineering spacecraft can go out to storm every day. They, well, are they, because another maintenance compartment was launched in a few days, so the two engineering spacecraft were gathered together.

In addition to transporting complete satellites, they will also pile up space waste in orbit to salvage and then transport it back.

Most of the basis for the operation of the two maintenance cabins is the manufacturing center. After all, it cannot always be transported from the ground to the sky. Since we want to explore the possibility of human survival in space, the manufacturing center must be self-sufficient.

Space garbage cannot be transported back at will, because all these garbage are owned. Every spacecraft launch on the earth has records, so you cannot search randomly.

At present, Tianxia has no questions. After signing an agreement, the completely scrapped aerospace equipment can be recycled directly, and the useless items can be dismantled and thrown into the electric furnace. It is also just right to test the microgravity smelting project.

Some space garbage cannot do because it is complete and has very clear authority. It is the country that belongs to which country, but it is hard to say whether some things that have been smashed.

For example, if a piece of solar energy and panel fragments do not have any identity marks on it, they can be pulled back for recycling and reuse.

Even the wreckage with a mark is not very good. After getting it back, it is thrown into the furnace, and the materials are released.

As long as there is no beacon on it, the original authority will not be allowed to know that it overlaps with the manufacturing center of the Heavenly Court Space Station.

Anyway, their current strategy is to not deal with complete abandoned satellites, and other wreckages without beacons can be salvaged and thrown into the furnace.

Because the Worker Bee spacecraft has been back and forth for a long time, more and more astronauts are entering the manufacturing center and repair cabin to work. Sometimes they will take some photos or videos for the industrial area, and then processed by the Pilot Space Company and then uploaded to the Internet. People also have a relatively comprehensive understanding of manufacturing and repair centers.

Pioneer Aerospace is moving very quickly, and the industrial zone is nearly 80% completed.

Of course, the main thing is that the Yishanha rocket and the design plan are reliable. Although the industrial area looks large, it transports quite few times, and the individual modules are large, so it is enough to only launch the Yishan rocket a few times.

Now it has a manufacturing center and two maintenance chambers, and later eight huge heat sinks were added, specifically used to dissipate heat to the manufacturing center.

It's just eight huge fuel storage tanks away from completing 100% assembly.

But that one is not in a hurry. After all, there are not so many spacecraft in space now, nor so many long-distance missions, and there is no need for a lot of fuel supply.

The fuel supply of small equipment can be directly used in the maintenance compartment, and it can also store a lot of fuel, which is enough for maintenance and refueling of two small-engineered spacecraft and satellites.

From a certain perspective, the combination of the manufacturing center, maintenance cabin and radiator is not large, and the length and width are only about fifty meters times forty meters, but the entire solar cell line spread on the manufacturing center is really large.

Its expansion length reaches 120 meters and its width is about 40 meters. Therefore, at certain angles on the ground, the effect of using a telephoto lens camera is similar to the size of the International Space Station. At most, the "light spot" in the industrial area appears a little longer.

In the end, it still did not dock with the current Tiangong Space Station, even though its large-axis interface seemed to be docking with the large-axis interface of the rotational simulation gravity compartment.

It chose to run independently, which also proved some people's previous speculation.

It will be built independently and will only be the final connection after the commercial area is manufactured.

In fact... the Navigator Company doesn't want this, it also wants to complete it smoothly.

From the initial docking, then from less to more, gradually building the same thing.

Instead of building independent modules like now, then finally connecting to form the Heavenly Space Station.

The question here appears in the Heavenly Space Station. It is a giant project for men, a giant project that can nurture many companies.

The Navigator has many peers in China and many private aerospace companies, but rather than saying that they are peers, the Navigator is the thigh, and they are the pendants on this thigh.

The development level and technological level of both sides are no longer on the same line, and they are too many leaders.

They have their own core technologies. As long as they are given a little more time, they will grow into a private space company with their own unique technologies and can enter the international market to fight for inspection.

But, the Navigator appeared.

Its technology is a dimensionality reduction blow against those private aerospace companies, which is because Tang Chao is the boss of the Navigator and he is a native of Tianxia. He understands the dilemma of being alone in the face of future situations.

So he also agreed to support other aerospace companies and also pulled out the national team to "disperse" technology together.

But we cannot just sell technology. "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish." Only when these private aerospace companies digest the technology that they escape and summarize their own new technologies can the whole process be considered complete, and those private aerospace companies are considered to grow.

That's it now. Those companies have obtained orders from the Heavenly Court Space Station. When digesting and absorbing foreign technologies, they keep seeking breakthroughs to have their own new technologies and jointly play the role of "everyone" in the "high firewood" of human aerospace. Instead of the boss who made a bunch of firewood alone came back and lit the bonfire and sent barrage next to them.

"Wow, that's great!"

“6666666!”

"Big boss!"

"Kneel!"

Only one person can only do work alone. It is very unhealthy for a whole society. It is very dangerous to tie all the future to one person.

Tang Chao also understood this truth. Although he had golden fingers and thought he was the protagonist for a while, he later became clear and felt that the future of the world was indeed a bit unreliable for him.

Just like a country, a rich man emerges, or even a rich man in the world, but everyone in the country is poor, so is this a developed country?

Obviously not.

This must be a deformed society.

Tang Chao did not have a high opinion of himself. He didn't want such a world. The main reason was that he was all poor, who would he play with?

Can billionaires share a common language with the poor who have difficulty even having enough food every day?

Such a world must be boring unless the richest man is a pervert.

But Tang Chao is obviously not a pervert.

Therefore, human civilization must develop in an all-round way. Even if it cannot be achieved completely for various reasons, it is still possible to be relatively comprehensive. It is really not suitable for a unique development.

Maybe one day this Duxiu will be cut with only flowers, leaving only the lawn full of the yard.

The flowers are gone, and no one cares about the yard. The lawn slowly turns into weeds and finally piles up. Eventually, no one pays attention to it. The yard must be dilapidated.

It's really unpleasant to wait for someone.

The industrial zone on the Navigator is almost finished. When the eight fuel tanks are finished, they can be transported in four times. By then, the progress of the entire industrial zone can reach 100%.

As long as the moon base is more powerful, the fuel supply station in the earth's orbit can be opened.

And there is no sign of launch in the commercial area.

By the way, there is not a single thing, there are still two large rotating gravity simulation ring compartments.
To be continued...
