If it is still postponed, what will the astronauts on the space station eat and drink? Will they be able to make it in time? Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Haha, Wu Hao and Yang Fan laughed when they heard this. Wu Hao smiled and replied: "Don't worry, the supplies on the space station are very abundant. We usually prepare them three or four months in advance to prepare for emergencies. Not to mention two or three postponements, even two or three months." what is the problem.

In addition, in the case of shortage of supplies, astronauts can also save things by controlling their diet, thus extending their survival period. If there is no other way out, the astronauts can only temporarily return to Earth in a spacecraft.

This time, we will deliver four tons of supplies to the moon, including two meals of food, one ton of scientific research equipment and supplies, including two new sets of extravehicular space suits, and one ton of water, oxygen fuel, etc.

If the solar wind stops and everything goes well, our third unmanned experimental spacecraft will be launched from the South China Sea Island on the 13th. Using rapid docking technology, it is expected to be able to dock with the space station in about six hours.

Subsequently, our unmanned experimental spacecraft will dock with the space station for fifteen days. After completing the relevant tasks, it will carry two sets of old extravehicular spacesuits from the space station, as well as the disassembled and replaced old experimental equipment parts and experimental samples. , and some biological waste, and then returned to the earth. "

These two sets of old extravehicular space suits... Zhang Jun's eyes lit up and he spoke immediately, but in the middle of his words, he was interrupted by Wu Hao with a wave of his hand.

"Don't think about it, we can't touch this thing. In addition, these two sets of extravehicular spacesuits have already been acquired. After completing the relevant scientific research tasks, these two sets of spacesuits will be used by military and national museums respectively. Collected.”

What I mean is, shouldn’t we also be able to land on the moon and walk on the moon in the future? Can you use your expression as a reference? Zhang Jun smiled at Wu Hao and said.

It is possible to apply for technical support and help, but there will definitely be some restrictions. Moreover, we cannot take advantage of others in vain, there must be some sacrifice and exchange. Wu Hao smiled at Zhang Jun and everyone and said, "Let's just talk about this transportation of supplies, which we fought hard for.

All costs for the launch of this unmanned experimental spacecraft will be borne by us. Only then did they agree to allow our spacecraft to dock with the space station. Otherwise, who would be willing to take such a risk. "

Just bear it if you bear it. If you don't want to bear the child, you won't be able to trap the wolf. In the future, we will slowly collect their ferry tickets, and we will always make money back. Zhang Jun said with a smile.

Yes, one of their important potential customers for this manned space project is the space agency's manned space department. In theory, all astronauts are their potential customers.

In the future, as long as their Walker manned missions are sufficiently safe and reliable, and the launch and transportation costs are cheap enough, then the relevant departments will naturally start to introduce them to undertake some of the astronauts' round-trip missions from the perspective of cost savings.

This is also an international practice. Most of the astronauts on the International Space Station now travel to and from the space station through manned spacecraft of outsourced commercial aerospace companies.

By the way, if this unmanned experimental spacecraft is postponed, doesn't it mean that the launch of our first manned spacecraft next year will also be postponed. Zhang Jun asked Wu Hao.

Of course, basically all launch missions will have to be postponed. In addition, in order to seize the launch window, the order of related launch missions must also be adjusted to ensure the completion of important spacecraft and satellite launch missions to a limited extent.

Only after ensuring that these are completed will our commercial space missions be considered.

Therefore, the first manned spacecraft launch will be postponed to May, from spring to summer. Zhang Jun showed a helpless expression.

"It's okay. The delay won't be long. It just gives us enough preparation time to ensure that we can successfully launch." Wu Hao comforted with a smile.

As for the astronauts, it should be confirmed, right? Zhang Jun asked Wu Hao. Wu Hao has always been personally responsible for this matter, and he doesn't know much about it.

"For the first manned flight, for the sake of safety, we decided to choose professional astronauts to undertake the launch mission. Later, we will use our own astronauts. We have already begun to cooperate with the aerospace manned department. We will train relevant astronauts for us." Wu Hao explained with a smile.

After all, it is still necessary to have your own people for convenience, otherwise you will have to apply for any mission in the future to see if the astronauts are available. If someone has a mission, they can only wait passively, which is a waste of time.

If you have your own astronauts, everything will be different. They don't need to worry about anything else and can just concentrate on preparations.

It is said that training a professional pilot requires an amount of gold equivalent to his weight, so training such an astronaut would probably cost a lot of money. Zou Xiaodong asked.

"Yes, I've heard this too, is it necessary for us to train our own astronauts?" Zhang Jun also turned to Wu Hao and asked with some distress.

Of course it is necessary. This is related to our next series of project actions. It is more convenient to have our own people. Wu Hao looked at the few people with a smile and consoled him: "Don't worry, our Walker manned spacecraft is relatively advanced and does not require such complicated controls, so our astronauts only need some professional training.

That is to say, they do not need to perform any difficult actions, they only need to know how to control the equipment in an emergency and repair and deal with faults.

In fact, to put it bluntly, we are training drivers for manned spacecraft to prepare for future commercial manned space missions.

Bus drivers still need on-the-job training. We are driving a manned spacecraft, so we need to be well trained before we can rest assured.

And I see that everyone is still very interested in traveling in space, so when the time comes, I will send everyone to go up there for a few days and find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to experience it. ”’

After hearing what Wu Hao said, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became heated. Everyone seemed to have opened their chat boxes and started talking one after another.

Wu Hao picked up the beer and touched it with Zhang Jun, then drank it slowly.

"How about we go on a space honeymoon trip? What kind of experience would that be?" Zhang Jun couldn't help but think about it.

"Doing that in space should be a very different experience."

Haha, after hearing Zhang Jun's words, everyone present laughed knowingly.

Yang Fan, on the other hand, shook his head and said: "The experience will not be very good, because the force is mutual. When you push others, the force will also react on you, pushing you to move.

So the general experience is the same as being in the water. However, water still has resistance, and there is no resistance on spacecraft and space stations. "

Hearing what Yang Fan said, everyone couldn't help but think of that scene and laughed heartily.
