Chapter 313 NASA: We Didn't Do This

At this time, everyone's hearts couldn't help but lifted up again.

Since the Soviet satellite is really out of control, and is constantly approaching the surface.

It is likely to fall to the surface of the earth.

This kind of irregular and uncontrolled movement has certain dangers.

Soon, many media around the world announced the news that the satellite was out of control.

For a time, this aroused discussions among people all over the world.

"A satellite is out of control? It's the 21st century, and this kind of thing still happens?"

"There is an anonymous hacker organization claiming that they shut down the space center of the Soviet Union through hacking attacks, and all their satellites have lost contact! This is miserable, I don't know how many satellites are about to fall!"

"Really, is this source reliable? This hacker organization won't be crazy!"

"Impossible. Su's security system is very strong, and it is impossible to be attacked by hackers so easily. The only one who can do this is probably the bald eagle."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the bald eagle must have done it! Block Su's satellite signals, and Su's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

At this time, Xu You and Hu Shucheng were also paying attention to the movement of the out-of-control satellite.

While observing the satellite's estimate, Hu Shucheng said:

"I don't think the bald eagle did it. Although the two of them have always been at odds, there is a bottom line. If the bald eagle really dares to do this, then it will be a big deal. Mao Xiong is not a vegetarian, if you anger Mao Xiong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"That's right, I also don't think the bald eagle would be so stupid. In the aerospace field, the two of them are more inclined to cooperate." Xu You said.

In order to ensure the safe operation of the International Space Station, the bald eagle and the bear must maintain cooperation, otherwise it will be a lose-lose result.

In this world, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

The Suzhou Space Center then refuted the news that they were hacked, saying that it was paying attention to the dynamics of the satellite in real time. The cause of the loss of control of the satellite is still uncertain, and the Suzhou Aerospace Center also requested other countries to assist them in detection and investigation.

After a while, NASA sent out an updated message.

"According to the latest monitoring data from NASA, the out-of-control satellite of the Soviet Union has a diameter of about 12 meters and a total weight of about 8 tons. It is traveling at a speed of about 8 kilometers per second relative to the earth. According to the prediction of our software model, this When a satellite passes through the atmosphere, most of it will be burned, but there may still be several pieces of debris that will hit the surface. It is estimated that the probability of satellite debris hitting people is about 1 in 5,000, please people around the world not to worry too much."

In addition to releasing some information about the satellite, NASA also stated in words that they had nothing to do with the loss of control of the satellite.

Apart from NASA, Bald Eagle has no other organization capable of doing things like interfering with Soviet satellites.

At this moment, the staff next to Xu You said again:

"This satellite...is beginning to disintegrate!"

As NASA expected.

When the satellite passed through the atmosphere, in addition to being partially damaged by the high temperature generated by friction, it was also dispersed into multiple fragments and continued to shuttle through the atmosphere.

These fragments vary in size, and the smaller fragments are completely incinerated before falling to the surface.

But larger pieces, which most likely won't burn up completely, will eventually fall to the surface anyway.

NASA also immediately released new information based on the latest monitoring developments.

"According to the latest data from NASA, the satellite has broken into as many as 24 pieces, ranging in mass from 10 kilograms to a ton. It is expected that these larger pieces will eventually fall on the surface. According to our estimates, these pieces The possible fall range is between 58 degrees north latitude and 58 degrees south latitude. People in this area are asked to be prepared and try not to go out."

Once the news was announced, it immediately caused panic all over the world.

"Between 58 degrees north latitude and 58 degrees south latitude? This range is too big! You just say that it may fall in any corner of the earth!"

"A lot of people are sleeping at this time, so they can't see the news at all! If it was really hit by a ton of satellite debris, wouldn't it be turned into a meat paste?"

"Be confident. This is not only a ton of satellite debris, but its kinetic energy is very large. The huge heat generated by the high temperature will directly vaporize the human body, and it will be very peaceful to walk."

"Don't be so worried. What I just said is that when the satellite disintegrates in the air, the largest piece of debris weighs a ton. As it moves and continues to generate friction with the atmosphere, the mass will definitely become smaller and smaller. The satellite The chances of the debris hitting someone is so slim, it's never happened before in history."

Professionals in these space systems did not complain about NASA because NASA predicted that the satellite debris would land in a large range.

They all know how difficult it is to predict the trajectory of a satellite that is completely out of control.

Even for normal aircraft landing missions, it is difficult for us to predict the landing point very accurately.

Not to mention, it was a satellite that was out of control and split into dozens of fragments.

"NASA's prediction of the falling range of satellite debris is meaningless, but we also know that we don't have such capabilities. When we really see those satellite debris from the ground, there is no time to react. Alas, everything can only be left to fate It's gone." Hu Shucheng sighed.

But at this time, Xu You suddenly had a wild idea:

Predict where these satellite debris will fall.

This sounds very unbelievable, and even NASA cannot predict where these satellite debris will fall within a smaller range.

But Xu You believes that as long as he can obtain as much information as possible and completely simulate it in his own brain.

This is not entirely impossible.

Thinking of this, Xu You said to the staff beside him:

"Quick! Let me see all the data we know!"

It was the first time for the staff to see Xu You so excited.

He didn't know what Xu You wanted to do.

But in the face of this person who even the commander-in-chief has to be in awe of three points.

He dared not have the slightest doubt.

"Okay, Professor Xu, please sit down."

Xu You sat in front of the computer and began to concentrate all his attention on tracking the satellite debris.

At this time, the data we can get includes the speed and direction of the movement of these satellite debris.

But there is still a lot of data that is not available on the ground.
