Deep Space Fleet

The Long March 5 was successfully launched yesterday. In everyone’s impression, the success rate of launching rockets in our country is relatively high. Generally, a rocket is launched, and even news reports are rarely seen...Why is the Long March 5 this time ( Fat five for short), will it be directly on the hot search?

First of all, let’s popularize the science. This is a heavy-duty rocket. The rockets with a high launch success rate in the past are not heavy-duty rockets. They are all medium-sized rockets. They are very old models with mature technology and experience. Rich, has been reused, of course, the probability of failure is very low.

However, the old rockets in the past had limited capabilities and were increasingly unable to meet China's aerospace needs, so Fat Five became the only seedling in the village.

This is a new rocket, which uses new technology and can transport more things. Of course, the cost of launching is very high.

Since the launch failed once, if it fails again this time, many of China's space programs will be delayed, which will also deal a blow to the confidence of space workers. A person's life is very short. If they fail again, a few years of troubleshooting, a few years of redesign, and a few years of manufacturing, the youth of these scientific researchers will pass away like this.

Here comes the question, what will Fat Five succeed?

1: September 2020 - In-orbit test of a new generation of manned spacecraft in low-Earth orbit.

2: The fourth quarter of 2020 - Chang'e 5 lunar sampling return mission.

Pay attention, after Chang'e 5 reaches the moon, it has to bounce back again.

The Americans are so stingy. After landing on the moon, they only gave China 1g of lunar soil. Scientists studied 0.5g, and the remaining 0.5g can only be placed in the museum.

But this time, let's take it ourselves, and study as much as we want!

3: 2021 - Launch of the core module of China's space station - code name: Tianhe

4: 2021 - China Space Station No. 1 test module launch - code name: Wentian

5: 2022 - The launch of the No. 2 experimental module of the Chinese Space Station - code name: Mengtian

If these projects are completed, it can replace the International Space Station, but these are inseparable from heavy rockets.

6: 2024 - Chang'e 6's second lunar sampling return mission.

7: 2024 - The Chinese space telescope of the Hubble telescope level co-orbiting with the space station will be completed - code name: sky survey

8: 2024 - SPORT program - the most powerful solar polar orbiting space telescope for mankind.

As a melon eater, the first contribution is to pay taxes.

The second contribution is science popularization. It is enough to let everyone know about it.

Although there is still a big gap between our country and the United States, I think the main reason is that the money spent is too little. The awesome Saturn 5 costs the same as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!

The Saturn 5 was launched 13 times and burned 13 aircraft carriers. Plus research and development costs, equal to 15 aircraft carriers.

And the sum of money burned by my country's aerospace industry may not have an aircraft carrier. So it’s okay if we can’t catch up for a while. There are so many disciplines to be developed, such as nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, etc., and it is impossible to allocate all the funds to aerospace, and there is no need to repeat the work of the Americans.

But I believe that the development in this area will get better and better in the future.

Well, the science popularization is over, and the monthly pass will be doubled tomorrow. If you have a monthly pass, you can keep it. Check in the red envelope area to see if there is any red envelope you can grab.

If you don’t have a red envelope, please vote for me tomorrow, you don’t need to vote today!
