Chapter 983 Satellite Communication System

For safety reasons, Mr. Han was planning to go to Europe to buy satellites.

But later I found that their technical level did not meet their own requirements, and the service life of the satellite was only four years.

Last year, the United States announced that it would provide GPS usage rights to the world for free within ten years, but the United States only provides low-precision satellite signals to foreign countries.

It is also believed that the system has a "backdoor" set by the United States. Once a war breaks out, the United States can close information services to a certain region.

At present, some of the technologies and equipment used in other countries when manufacturing satellites are also obtained from the United States, and the safety is still poor.

So I had no choice but to return to China and chose the most cost-effective Hughes Aerospace and Communications Company.

The founder of this company is called Howard Hughes.

In the United States decades ago, almost no one didn't know him, and now it's the same.

If the person who looks most like Iron Man in modern times is Elon Musk who is busy working for Han Xuan recently, then Howard Hughes is the previous generation of "Iron Man".

In the United States, his name is as well known as Washington and Lincoln.

This is not only because he is one of the few rich people in the United States who enjoy world reputation, but people regard him as a hero.

Leonardo DiCaprio will win the coveted Academy Award for Best Actor with "The Flyer" in the future. The prototype of that movie is Howard Hughes.

In June 1966, the American unmanned spacecraft landed on the moon for the first time. The spacecraft was built by Hughes, and the first satellite launched by Wal-Mart in the 1980s was also built by this company.

This time, the old man bought three satellites of the same type at one time, which can achieve global coverage of three-dimensional spatial positioning.

Each satellite is priced at $39 million, and launching them into the sky costs about $85 million.

The launch costs of high-orbit and low-orbit satellites are hugely different. The three are all high-orbit satellites, which is actually quite cheap.

The Haishe Company, jointly established by the United States, Ukraine and Norway, received the order for the first time and gave Mr. Han a discount.

And he promised to bear all the risks of launch failure for only $60 million in insurance, which successfully attracted him.

In the early 1990s, the Fregate upper stage (the part of the multi-stage rocket above the first stage) used in the former Soviet Union's Zenith 2 rocket.

This formed the third-level Zenith No. 2, called Zenith 2 Fregate-sb. After installing the upper stage, the Rocket has the ability to send satellites into higher orbits.

It is a two-stage carrier rocket with a total length of 57 meters, a maximum diameter of 3.9 meters in core stage, a take-off mass of 44.9 tons, a carrying capacity of 13.74 tons in low-Earth orbit and 11.38 tons in solar synchronous orbit.

It is worth mentioning that although this rocket is powerful, it has only conducted simulation experiments and has no experience in sending satellites into space. This is the first time.

The old man weighed the pros and cons for a long time before he agreed.

There is no way. If other companies fail to launch, they will bear all the losses themselves, which will be nearly 200 million, and now they only need to pay 60 million US dollars.

No other insurance company is willing to bear such a large and high-risk policy, even Buffett's insurance company is no exception.

Haishe Company is betting that it can succeed. Once it successfully launches, it will make nearly 100 million US dollars and will have countless reputations.

If it fails, it will also lose more than 100 million. This kind of rocket had a complete design concept during the former Soviet Union, and the Haishock Company believed in its own technology.

The old man is also betting that it will succeed, and would rather give it 60 million US dollars for free than do it again...

At this moment.

The Gulfstream plane had already landed. Grandpa Han Xuan looked a little surprised when he saw Air Force One parked in the airport open space.

Because the president's planes are usually parked at Andrews Air Force Base, where the US President travels and Air Force 2 are parked.

Foreign heads of state visit the United States and if they formally visit the capital Washington District of Columbia, they usually land at Andrews Air Force Base.

Recalling the last time Boeing's product manager came to sell cargo planes for the second time, he talked about the White House also being in contact with Boeing and preparing to buy two 747-model aircraft. It seems that President Clinton is going to change the planes.

I guessed in my heart that it might also be related to my grandson. The president's Air Force One was quite famous in the past. Since Han Xuan bought the Boeing 777, almost no one has mentioned it again recently.

President Clinton wants face, and it is not surprising that he does such a thing...

The Gulfstream business plane glided near the terminal, and the old man had already seen Han Xuan.

This time he didn't have to come to Washington, DC. The people under his command could help with those trivial matters. The reason why he came here specifically was to give his grandson a big gift.

Asked the assistant Jaton beside him, he said, "Are you ready on Nasa? How much does it cost?"

"It's ready, just wait for you to come over.

It cost three million dollars in total, Mr. Carmen, director of Nasa, said that this is already a cost price and is generally not allowed to use them, and he has to take a lot of risks."

"The money doesn't matter. You call him now and ask Carmen to send someone to check if there are any safety hazards.

Tell him that my grandson recently set up a space exploration company and that he can work in spaex after he finishes his term. His annual salary is at least $1,000,000, which is my thanks.”

After the old man gave the order, he looked at the son of John, Little John, and said, "Where is the box I carried when I got on the plane, give it to me."

"Okay, boss..."

I am already very tired today and don’t want to continue running around anymore.

Han Xuan called the Hilton Hotel in the city and booked a presidential suite, asking the airport staff to take the animals in a truck first.

Only Fat Ding and Winnie refused to leave. They were smarter than other animals and knew that their owners must have wanted to leave themselves and play alone.

There is no way, I can only let them follow me.

The headache is about how to take Vini away. Its current figure can't even fit the rear cabin of the Hummer.

When he saw his grandfather, Han Xuan walked towards him with a smile and said, "If I had known you were so late, I would have gone to Los Angeles to pick you up directly.

Congratulations, my grandfather, Sos Group does not have a satellite communication system, and its turnover in the first three quarters of this year was already higher than that of Walmart.

Wait until your satellite communication system can be used, wouldn’t it dominate the entire earth?”
