Chapter 1704 Cargo spacecraft mission approved

Wu Hao's worries are unreasonable. Even on earth, human beings' technical capabilities for construction in high-cold and permafrost layers still need to be improved. There are even many technical problems that have not been solved. What's more, this is on the moon, and the deep moon It’s still unclear what the condition of the permafrost layer is, let alone how it can be utilized.

Of course, what Zhang Qutong said is correct. Just because it is not possible at this stage does not mean that it will not work in the future. Besides, this is just detection, and it is still far from the future application stage.

In the next twenty-four hours, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol rover began to sample, detect and analyze the lunar soil inside the entire crater and around the crater.

The results show that the oxygen content of the lunar soil inside the crater is much higher than that in the area near the crater. One of the findings of this inspection is that they also detected oxygen in the lunar soil in the air sea basin outside the crater, but it was relatively thin.

The results of nutrients are already exciting. On the one hand, it verifies previous research results in this area. The lunar soil does contain oxygen. On the other hand, this also provides a direction for the future collection of oxygen in these lunar soils.

In the future, the collection of oxygen in the lunar soil will definitely not be unilateral or the mining of a single element or mineral, but comprehensive mining.

You must know that these lunar soils not only contain oxygen, but also contain other mineral elements, such as ilmenite, copper, rare earth elements, and helium-3, which is abundant on the moon and is coveted by humans.

It is worth mentioning that the refining method of helium-3 is actually similar to the refining method of oxygen. Helium-3 itself is also a gas and needs to be extracted by heating the lunar soil. Therefore, during the mining and extraction process of these minerals, these resources will naturally be extracted, or in other words, the resources in the lunar soil will be fully utilized.

After completing the detection mission of this crater, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface inspection rover immediately continued its journey. According to the plan, this time it will move 80 kilometers to the Qihai crater. A moon stream is being explored.

The so-called moon stream is by no means a real lunar stream, but describes a dark, elongated crack on the lunar surface that is similar to the terrain of streams on Earth. It is usually used to describe any narrow, riverbed-like groove on the lunar surface.

These moon streams range from several kilometers wide to hundreds of kilometers long. Scientists divide the moon stream into three types based on its properties: meandering moon stream, arcuate moon stream, irregular moon stream, and straight moon stream.

The moon stream is of great significance for people on earth to study the development history of the moon, so this time the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol rover will explore an irregular moon stream. This moon stream is about seven or eight kilometers long, with irregular shapes and divisions. The thickness of the moon stream is different, and the depth is also different. According to detection, the depth of this moon stream may be hundreds of meters, and the depth of the moon stream may be one to twenty meters. rice.

This time, Zhang Qutong and others hope to understand the cause of the formation of this irregular moon stream through close detection, and thus understand the previous geological activities of the moon. In addition, Zhang Qutong and the others also hope to find surface ice from the bottom of this moon stream valley to find water.

The outside world is also paying great attention to this detection mission. You must know that this is the first time that Yuexi has been detected. So everyone is looking forward to discovering something this time.

Wu Hao is naturally very concerned about such detection missions, but it is impossible for him to stay at the Xinyuehu Space Command and Control Center around the clock, or to say that he dare not only care about this one thing around the clock. This is obviously unrealistic.

He still has a lot of work to do, such as aerospace matters. Although the Haoyu Aerospace subsidiary is responsible for most of the period, when it comes to some major matters, Wu Hao still has to personally participate in the decision-making.

With the successful launch of their Jianmu-7 retractable medium-sized launch vehicle, they have also confirmed their leadership position in the field of commercial launch vehicles. In addition, this time the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface inspection and exploration vehicle successfully landed on the moon, which further demonstrates the strength of Haoyu Technology in the field of aerospace technology.

In particular, the outstanding performance of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface inspection vehicle on the moon has also attracted attention from all aspects.

Also under so much attention, another piece of good news came. They had previously discussed with the aerospace authorities, and the project regarding their third unmanned experimental spacecraft going to the space station to conduct docking experiments was finally officially approved.

This time, their unmanned experimental spacecraft will take on the task of a cargo spacecraft, transporting some oxygen, food and water supplies to the space station. In addition, it will also transport some instruments and equipment to the space station, with a total cargo weight of four Ton to ton is slightly lower than the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft. In addition, this time, their Walker unmanned experimental spacecraft will also transport some items back from the space station. Including two sets of extravehicular space suits that astronauts will retire.

The use of this kind of extravehicular space suit is limited to the number of times and time. Use it once and less once. After reaching the limit of its service life, it will generally be replaced and eliminated for safety reasons.

The discarded extravehicular space suits will be loaded into the cargo spacecraft. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyua.com and returned to the atmosphere with the cargo spacecraft and burned up.

This time, what their Walker unmanned experimental spacecraft will transport back from the space station are two sets of extravehicular space suits that are about to be eliminated and destroyed.

Why should it be brought back? The main reason is that the Walker unmanned experimental spacecraft they are about to launch has space on it and will return to Earth, so the scientific research experts are thinking about seeing what they can bring back to Earth.

Because it is in the experimental stage, personnel must not be allowed to ride, so supplies can only be placed. It just so happens that there are two sets of extravehicular space suits here that are about to expire and are ready to be phased out. Instead of loading them into the cargo spacecraft and burning them in the atmosphere, it is better to take them back by hitchhiking.

In this way, waste can be avoided. After all, these two sets of extravehicular space suits are valuable. Although they have reached the end of their service life, it would be a pity to burn them like this. It would be better to bring it back and make it an exhibit for national defense scientific research and education.

You know, several museums want to collect this kind of extravehicular space suit, but they don't have anything. What's more, this kind of extravehicular space suit that has actually been in space and has expired is even more precious and meaningful.

Secondly, these two sets of extravehicular spacesuits have been used on the space station more than a dozen times and have expired. If it can be transported back and then studied, this will greatly promote the improvement and upgrading of extravehicular space suits in the future.

It was precisely based on these considerations that they stuffed these two sets of extravehicular space suits into their spacecraft and took a ride back to Earth.
