Military Technology

In fact, Wu Hao and others were not the first to propose the idea of ​​a commercial space station or related projects. In fact, scientists had proposed this idea before.

Following this, space agencies from various countries, as well as some commercial aerospace companies, have successively proposed their own design concepts and plans for commercial space stations.

Among so many plans, there is one thing in common, and that is expandable inflatable space capsule technology. Among the ideas of these commercial aerospace companies and space agencies of various countries, this use of expandable inflatable space capsules as the main cabin configuration of commercial space stations has become a consensus.

The reason why so many aerospace agencies and commercial aerospace companies have taken a fancy to the technology is that its production and manufacturing costs are relatively low. And based on this expandable inflatable space capsule technology, a huge inflatable space capsule can be formed in space in one launch, which is beyond the reach of traditional space station modules.

In this way, a single or multiple inflatable inflatable space capsules can form a space station with a huge internal space. In this way, it will naturally be able to accommodate more people and materials.

According to everyone's common understanding, this inflatable inflatable space capsule is definitely not as strong and durable as the traditional alloy space station cabin. But in fact, the inflatable space capsule made of this polymer composite material is no less strong than an ordinary space capsule.

Not only strong, but also highly resistant to pull and impact. In addition, it can also adapt to the frequently alternating hot and cold environment in space, and has strong resistance to material aging.

The polymer composite material developed by Haoyu Technology is even more excellent in performance. The multi-layer polymer composite material of the expandable inflatable space capsule composed of this material is even filled with a special kind of polymer composite material. Liquid exists in a liquid state in a sealed specific environment. Once the warehouse wall material is damaged, this special liquid will block the leakage area in the shortest time, preventing the internal pressure of the spacecraft and the outflow of cabin air. This also enables the inflatable inflatable space capsule to have self-healing capabilities, greatly improving the safety of the inflatable inflatable space capsule.

The inflatable inflatable space experimental capsule launched by Haoyu Technology previously used this technology and performed very well during several months of operation.

In the future, this expandable inflatable space capsule technology will also be used in the construction of Daowu Hao's first commercial space station.

While introducing, Wu Hao led everyone to a larger platform. Above the platform, a unique space station hangs.

This space station is very special. Its middle part is composed of a twenty-meter-long core cabin section.

This core cabin is composed of two cabin sections, with a node cabin at the top of each cabin section. The tail part is similar to the Tianhe core module and also has a cargo interface. In addition, a large number of high-thrust Hall ion thrusters are installed at the tail to maintain the orbital height of the entire space station and adjust the attitude accordingly.

At the top of the core module, similar to the Tianhe core module, there is a node module. This node module will also serve as the main docking dock of the future space station and become the main channel for personnel to enter and exit.

As for the node cabin located in the middle cabin section, in addition to the cabin sections connecting the front and rear core cabins, there are four interfaces up, down, left and right.

These four interfaces are each connected to an inflatable inflatable space capsule, showing a fat cross configuration. At the top of these four inflatable inflatable space capsules, a solar wing battery sail extends out from each to provide power to the space station.

These four inflatable inflatable space capsules will become the main living, living, working and scientific research space of this commercial space station in the future.

In addition, one of the inflatable inflatable space capsules will also establish a space farm, which will continue to be used for related space biological research on the one hand, and provide some fresh and nutritious food to the members living on the space station, thereby improving these members’ quality of life.

The core cabin section in the front section of the core cabin is actually an inflatable inflatable cabin section. This cabin section should be the largest diameter cabin section in the entire space station, and it is also the core of the entire space station.

Along the top of this expandable inflatable cabin is another node cabin. This node cabin, in addition to being the entry and exit dock for the entire space station, will also serve as the entrance and exit for members of the space station to exit and exit the warehouse.

In the future, an airlock cabin will be connected to this node cabin for specialized exit activities.

In addition to docking incoming and outgoing manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft, several other interfaces will also be reserved and expanded for docking other experimental spacecraft.

On this larger space station model hanging in the air at the scene, several Walker manned spacecraft were docked.

Hey, the volume of your commercial space station is much larger than ours. Zou Huanyi looked at the space station model hanging in mid-air and smiled at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao nodded and replied: "Yes, the main reason is that the expansion space of the five inflatable inflatable capsules is relatively large, so its internal pressurized space may reach or even exceed the level of the International Space Station."

Huh, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Wu Hao's answer. For such a small commercial space station to be able to reach the internal pressurized space of the International Space Station, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

How many people can live on such a large space station? Qin Xinghe also became interested and asked him questions.

Wu Hao pointed to the space station model hanging in the air and introduced to everyone: "Under normal circumstances, this commercial space station can accommodate six to twelve astronauts and scientists to stay on it for a long time. If necessary, it can accommodate ten Between two and eighteen astronauts and scientists are on site for long-term stays.

In addition to this, we are also able to accommodate short term stays of ten to fifteen people. In other words, we can accommodate twenty to twenty-five members to stay on this space station for a short period of time. "

"How can we accommodate so many people?" Everyone obviously didn't believe it when they heard the number Wu Hao said. Let’s not talk about our own space station, let’s just talk about the size of the International Space Station. How many members can it accommodate? You Wu Hao suddenly said that it can accommodate more than 20 people. Is this possible?

Wu Hao smiled and replied: "Absolutely. In fact, such an inflatable inflatable cabin can be used for living."
