A big country of aerospace with black technology

"What's the current situation at the ITU?"

Zhang Xingyang frowned, and asked Yang Yi, the person in charge of the low-orbit satellite communication project who was in charge of communicating with the International Telecommunication Union.

The International Telecommunication Union, referred to as ITU, is one of the fifteen specialized agencies under the United Nations.

As a specialized agency of the United Nations, ITU is responsible for managing the world's satellite frequency and orbital resources.

However, it is not a subsidiary organization of the United Nations. It has independent resolutions and activities, but it needs to submit an annual report to the United Nations every year.

At present, in the actual operation of the ITU, the allocation of satellite frequencies and orbital resources is mainly based on the "first come, first served" preemption method.

Just like the period of great voyages, countries seized all kinds of uninhabited islands on the sea, whoever planted the flag first would own it.

It's just that now, to be more civilized, if you want to occupy the track, you need to report and register with the ITU in advance.

Before the start of the low-orbit satellite communication project, China had applied to the ITU for a large number of satellite orbit resources.

It is basically not difficult to pass this kind of approval, because there are not many countries and companies that can launch satellites at this time.

The satellite orbit resource has not become so precious.

By the time the ITU reacted, Zhang Xingyang and the others had already launched thousands of satellites, occupying high-quality satellite orbits even in low orbits.

When the ITU issued a statement asking them to explain the use of so many satellites, the second phase of the low-orbit satellite communication project was almost completed.

"They want us to clarify the use of so many satellite orbits."

Holding a thick stack of fax documents, Yang Yi said dumbfoundedly.

"If they can't confirm that our satellite is in normal use, then they may cancel our subsequent satellite orbit application."

It is indeed a troublesome thing if the satellite orbit application cannot be obtained.

After all, their satellites are commercially available to a large extent. If they cannot obtain orbits and radio frequency bands that meet the ITU standards, it will be very difficult to access the communication networks of various countries in the future.

"Then write an explanation and explain it well."

Zhang Xingyang rubbed his forehead. Recently, as the progress of the second phase of the project is getting closer and closer to completion, there are countless troubles like this.

"The face of the ITU still has to be given."

Yang Yi silently wrote down Zhang Xingyang's request:

"Okay, Master Zhang."

"but."

Looking at Yang Yi who hesitated to speak, Zhang Xingyang said:

"If you have any questions, let's talk about it together."

"The debt is too heavy."

"Previously, some of our orbital resources were allocated by the ITU in accordance with the Radio Regulations."

"Judging from their tone, we may not have this part of support in the future."

In order to prevent a few developed countries from taking advantage of their technical and economic strength, ITU seizes all satellite frequency and orbital resources.

At the request of the majority of member states, through fair planning, a certain number of satellite frequencies and orbital resources have been relatively fairly allocated to countries in the world in some frequency bands.

It ensures that those countries that are not yet able to develop the satellite industry will have the minimum satellite frequency and orbital resources available when they have the ability in the future.

A large part of the orbital resources used by Zhang Xingyang and the others came from the planning and allocation in this area of ​​the Radio Regulations.

In the future, if there is no share of this part of satellite resources, all orbital resources will only be the same as those of space pioneer countries.

According to the principle of "first come, first occupy", whoever arrives first will be the owner.

"This issue has little to do with us."

Zhang Xingyang was not very concerned about this issue.

In fact, if it were not for the consideration of international influence, in the past three years, there would not have been a hundred satellite launch discoveries.

According to the launch and recovery efficiency of the Hongyan rocket, it has been able to achieve a launch every three days.

In other words, if you really want to start a space race with other people and rob satellite orbital resources.

At present, it is completely possible for China to launch more than 120 times within a year!

You know, the Hongyan rocket can carry more than forty communication satellites in one launch!

Within a year, almost 5,000 low-orbit satellites can be launched.

Moreover, the recovery and reuse rate of the Hongyan rocket has reached eight times, and only 15 first-stage rockets are needed for 120 launches.

Compared with the traditional rocket launch mode, the cost is more than half lower.

The reason for not doing so at present is largely due to the lack of sufficient practitioners in the domestic aerospace industry.

Not so many people come to engage in a series of jobs after the satellite is launched into the sky.

Although three or four years ago, Zhang Xingyang invested a large sum of money in cooperation with universities in an effort to cultivate more aerospace talents.

But at present, there are still not so many people for him to use.

In the past two years, the related majors of several key aerospace universities in China have been undergoing large-scale expansion, and the number of students enrolled has increased several times compared to the past.

It's a bit like the expansion of civil engineering enrollment in about 10 years and the expansion of computer enrollment in about 16 years.

But if you want to wait until the first batch of college students graduate to work after the expansion of enrollment, it will be at least two or three years later.

In the past two or three years, it is basically impossible for Zhang Xingyang to have many people in aerospace for him to use.

This is also an important reason for satellite launches without full firepower.

"At present, our second phase of the project has not been completed yet, so we are not in such a hurry."

"There are too many things to consider in the third phase of the project, and I don't know what will happen."

Zhang Xingyang is not very anxious about future satellite orbit resources.

After all, the current orbits of these thousands of satellites covering the country are enough for them to use for decades.

The idea that the third phase of the project wants to cover the whole world requires not only technical considerations, but also the relationship between countries.

Even Zhang Xingyang, who has always been full of confidence, didn't think it was an easy thing to do.

In his heart, this matter is relatively low in priority.

It is something that will be considered after ten years.

"Don't worry about this matter."

"Is there nothing else besides these?"

Zhang Xingyang comforted Yang Yi, and then asked casually.

"One more thing."

Yang Yi seemed to be in a trance just now, and then quickly reacted and said.

"What else is there?"

"Next month, they will hold a seminar on the third-generation communication technology standards in Beijing."

"I want to invite you to attend."

Zhang Xingyang rubbed his brows, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.

Next month, he has more important things to do.

The development of hypersonic missiles has reached a critical moment.

Qiao Yang has already urged him many times, telling him to go there.

Originally, he had promised him that next month would definitely pass.

Now these two things have collided.

"What time is it?"

"I'll see if I have time."

Yang Yi flipped through the numerous documents in his hand, and after confirming, he said:

"From the 28th to the 30th of next month."

"It lasted a total of three days."

Zhang Xingyang silently calculated in his heart, there should be enough time.

So he nodded and said:

"Promise for me first."

Although this meeting will not directly determine the standards of the third-generation communication technology, it still has a great role in promoting the determination of the standards.

The future development direction of communication technology is a major event related to the development of the entire country.

Especially when the communication technology is developing from the fixed terminal to the mobile terminal, and at the same time, the Internet is developing rapidly during this period.

Behind this technical standard, there are countless technologies, patents, and funds calculated in tens of billions.

If you want to have the right to speak in communication technology in the next ten years, you must be highly involved in the formulation of communication standards.

Otherwise, you can only become a bystander of the rapid development of this era.

It is also because of this that Zhang Xingyang puts it together with national weapons such as hypersonic missiles and weighs it in his heart.

"If it's that time, I don't have time to participate."

"talk later."

Zhang Xingyang didn't have a good solution to the problem of lack of skills.

After all, he doesn't know how to avatar.

With the simultaneous participation of more and more projects.

The time and energy that can be allocated to each project has become limited.

It is impossible to participate in almost every detail like before.

Just when Yang Yi finished speaking and was about to leave.

Someone pushed Zhang Xingyang's office away again.

"Xing Yang, something happened!"

Geng Bo, who was out of breath, didn't have time to catch his breath.

He took a picture of a document on Zhang Xingyang's desk.

Zhang Xingyang looked apologetically at Yang Yi who was already a little scared.

"You go out first."

"Don't forget to write the explanation document well."

After Yang Yi walked out of the office, Zhang Xingyang looked up and down Geng Bo, who was already out of breath:

"What happened, in such a hurry?"

"Have Ying sauce called?"

Geng Bo just took a breath, but was choked by Zhang Xingyang like this, and almost lost his breath.

"That's not true."

"What happened to you?"

Zhang Xingyang was also a little curious at this time, what kind of situation could make him like this.

Hearing the news, Zhang Xingyang was also slightly taken aback.

After all, this news is really not good news.

It can even be said that it is a heavy blow to Rocket Research Institute's commercial satellite launch service.

Because many domestic satellite manufacturers in Yingjiang are important customers of the Rocket Research Institute.

In the past 99 years alone, the Rocket Research Institute has used Hongyan rockets to provide them with more than forty satellite launches.

The resulting immediate benefits are more than $2 billion.

The indirect income exceeds three billion.

Therefore, this matter, whether it is for the Rocket Research Institute or for the domestic aerospace industry.

It's not a small thing.

"Are there specific documents?"

Zhang Xingyang frowned, and took a document from Geng Bo's hand.

It was clearly written on it, in order to prevent unfair competition from Longguo Aerospace.

From now on, they will prohibit relevant domestic companies from conducting any commercial cooperation with Longguo Aerospace.

"When did this come out?"

Geng Bo has completely calmed down by this time, but he is still at a loss:

"An hour ago."

"I just got the news and came here."

Zhang Xingyang fell into thinking.

It has to be said that the opponent's move has had a great impact on the subsequent development of the Rocket Research Institute.

As a pioneering aerospace power, Eagle Sauce has an extremely large number of satellite launch missions.

In the past, the Rocket Research Institute survived a relatively difficult period by grabbing a lot of launch shares from Yingjiang's domestic launch companies.

If this part of the commercial launch mission is lost, although it will not cause any serious losses to today's Rocket Research Institute.

But in a short period of time, it will still have a relatively drastic impact.

"The launch contracts signed before, I don't know if they will still be fulfilled?"

Geng Bo was also a little annoyed, as he just signed a contract with Laura last month.

To help them launch four satellites in geostationary orbit.

Now that the sanction bill comes out, I don't know whether these previously signed contracts will have an impact.

"There is a high probability that it will be cancelled."

Zhang Xingyang's thoughts are relatively conservative, and he does not think that those companies will continue to perform the contract at the risk of being sanctioned.

"However, there are a large part of commercial launch missions here, and we can still fight for it."

"After all, most of the domestic companies in Yingjiang are just design manufacturers."

"The actual owner is a company from another country."

This situation is relatively common in the international satellite market.

After all, many countries do not have the technical strength to design, manufacture, launch, and maintain satellites.

They usually entrust these tasks to different companies.

As one of the world's leading aerospace powers, Yingjiang also undertakes the most satellite design and manufacturing work.

It's just that the ownership of these satellites is not theirs.

So strictly speaking, they are even sanctions.

There is no jurisdiction over the launch of this part of the satellite.

This is also the main reason why Zhang Xingyang believes that he can fight for it.

"Depend on!"

"Really overbearing!"

Geng Bo looked at the document, hammered the table angrily and cursed.

Zhang Xingyang looked carefully at the content of the sanctions mentioned in the document.

The main thing is to prohibit space cooperation with China.

It can basically be regarded as a replica of the "Lviv Act" in the original world.

Cooperation in space exploration is prohibited, including but not limited to prohibiting domestic participation in the International Space Station program, returning to the moon program, etc.

"Ten years from now, they'll be begging us to work with them."

Zhang Xingyang said with a cold face after reading the document.

"When the time comes, I hope they will not forget this agreement!" (End of this chapter)
