Chapter 233 The Best Moon Landing Spaceship

Fanxing, a long time ago, an aerospace engineering seminar.

Li Wei is explaining to the people of the Aerospace Engineering Committee the "Benyue" class spacecraft and the overall aerospace engineering concepts for the subsequent.

"Everyone just saw that the cabin of the 'Pengyue' spacecraft is equipped with a lot of unprotected equipment, so it cannot land directly on the earth like a starship moon spacecraft, but it doesn't matter, it can be parked on the space station."

"At the space station, it is equivalent to returning to Earth. The Muyuan Skyplane can take off at any time. Although its load capacity is only a few tons, the spacecraft returning from the moon cannot carry much. It is nothing more than astronauts returning to the earth and bringing some lunar samples. The Muyuan's capacity is enough."

"And compared to the fallen return to the earth, the return process of the aerospace plane is more stable."

"But this is only possible in the early stage, because there are not many equipment and materials interactions involved in the early stage, and the only interface of the space station can barely deal with it. However, with more interactions in the later stage, the interface of the space station is not enough."

"So the next step is to upgrade the space station, expand the cabin section, and add spacecraft berths, which can allow multiple aircraft to dock at the same time, and also add robotic arms to facilitate the transfer of cargo."

"In this way, the space station will change from a simple space test site to a transit station, dock or port for humans to move to space..."

After hearing what Li Wei said, everyone in the conference room started to think.

Indeed, compared to rushing directly into the atmosphere, although there are two more steps to dock on the space station for material transfer, it is still quite appropriate to consider it overall.

Although there are two more steps, the design and manufacturing of the spacecraft are much simpler.

If you go straight to the atmosphere, it will not only increase the complexity of the spacecraft, but also increase the difficulty and cost of manufacturing.

After all, the earth environment, the space environment and the lunar environment are three completely different environments.

The "Moon Run" spacecraft only considers the space environment and the lunar environment. They have one thing in common, that is, vacuum.

Moreover, the lunar gravity is not large, it is a low gravity, and the gap between it and the "gravity-free" space environment is also small.

At least this is the case compared to the gravity of the earth.

The biggest problem on Earth is that it passes through the atmosphere, especially when high-speed friction will produce extreme high temperatures, which will make the aircraft flight unstable. In order to cope with these problems, the difficulty of spacecraft design and manufacturing will increase linearly.

The "Benyue" spacecraft simply stopped entering the atmosphere.

At the same time, good versatility also means that you cannot specialize in anything.

Just like the current Mukkien number.

Thanks to its excellent flight performance, the cargo capacity of the Muquan is completely fine, and it has now begun to prepare for the manned spacecraft next month.

That is to start to improve the survival system, install seats, increase comfort and other work.

But because it is too excellent, many people have attracted the attention of its cargo capacity. Even if the fuel it uses is more expensive than ordinary aerospace fuel, its superior performance is enough to surpass everything.

Not to mention that some people also know that controlled nuclear fusion has come out, and it is no longer difficult to prepare metal hydrogen afterwards, and the cost will become lower and lower. It is very cost-effective to use the Wood Kite to transport some precision, urgent, and high-value goods.

But now there is a small problem. Because the Muquan number is developed for manned operation, the same interface between the hatch door and the space station are all small round doors.

It would be fine if you transport some standard-size space parcels and small things. If the cargo is large, such as a complete space station experiment cabinet, such a small round door will definitely not be able to pass.

So if you want to do purely cargo transportation, you have to open a large cabin door like a space shuttle cargo compartment on the back of the Muyuan, and at the same time, the strength of the body structure needs to be modified.

Of course, this is not difficult to solve, and the freight version of the Muquan number is not in a hurry, so you can do it slowly.

Moreover, when we landed on the moon and returned to Earth, we did not use the Muquan, but we still used a new manned spacecraft.

One of the design goals of the new manned spacecraft is manned moon landing mission. As a result, the times and technology have developed too quickly. Before it can be used, a joint plan for the Muquan and the "Benyue" spacecraft appeared.

But the previous plan has been determined, and the new manned spacecraft has been built. Instead of directly sealing it up, it is better to use it in the first manned moon landing mission.

In this way, the new manned spacecraft can enter the museum with the name of "Legendary Spaceship". When the exhibits are also higher-end, that is, the round-trip spacecraft that the Stars take on for the first time to land on the moon!

Of course, this kind of internal meeting is not something outsiders can know, but as the news of the moon landing continues to be released, people's discussions are becoming more and more intense.

"The Enterprise Lunar Module is really 'ancient technology'. It feels like nothing else has changed except for getting bigger."

"So I'm optimistic about the moon landing ship and the moon landing ship."

"Haha, it's worthy of being a 'ship' generation, it's a Niu Pi who is a 'cabin' generation."

"I think Emmaron's lunar spacecraft is the most powerful. It is too big, 50 meters high, like a building, and can transport 100 tons of things to the moon at a time, which is simply against the will of heaven."

"It's true that you really have to transport 100 tons of cargo to the moon. The moon landing spacecraft has to be refilled several times in orbit, and this technology is not even a shadow now."

"Ah, I thought it was almost done."

"Not only has the orbital refueling technology not been completed, but even the front equipment of the lunar spacecraft, the 'Starship' and 'Super Rocket' boosters have not yet succeeded in their first flight."

"It seems that Bald Bee's 'Competitive' is reliable. It's a bit ugly, just use it."

"And Boss Li's 'Pengyue' spacecraft is also launched this time. It is not as radical as Emmaron, but it is much more advanced than Bald Be."

"Indeed, smallness is also the benefit of smallness. You can fly back and forth with just the fuel added on the ground, and even look at the data, without bringing a new manned spacecraft."

"It's better metal hydrogen fuel."

"I don't know if practical technology can sell metal hydrogen fuel to Emmaron so that humans can have the strongest starship."

"No, it's illegal."

"No, it's understandable that technology cannot be sold, and fuel cannot be sold? Fanxing is too overbearing."

"Did you get something wrong? You are violating the law of the Free Federation. People don't let Fengxing's aerospace have any contact with the Free Federation's aerospace."

"Ah, is there anything else to say? Didn't the Free Federation always say that technology has no borders?"

"Yes, are you mistaken? The Free Federation is a beacon of humanity. Both Lucia can cooperate. How can we ban Fanxing's cooperation?"

"Maybe Fanxing always steals other people's skills, which makes people feel embarrassed, so such a strict law was introduced."
