In order to exchange this technology, the Soviet Space Agency decided to share some secret technologies about the space station with us.

Both parties are very satisfied with the technology exchange between each other.

After completing the exchange of this technology, Yang Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, specially found Xu You and expressed his gratitude to Xu You.

"Professor Xu, thank you for your contribution to the National Space Administration! We have reached a technology exchange agreement with the Suzhou Space Administration, and the Suzhou Space Administration has decided to authorize some of the core technologies of the space station to us. You award the Medal of Honor for Life and provide you with a bonus."

"It's too polite, this is what I should do."

Xu You smiled and waved his hands. Originally, his original intention was just to worry that someone would be hurt because of it.

I didn't think about the issue of rewards and honors at all.

Compared with medals and bonuses, Xu You cared more about Su's aerospace technology.

"Mr. Yang, will I have the opportunity to contact these core technologies provided by Su Guo in the future?"

"Of course, this is in exchange for your technology. You must have such power. After we officially complete the technology exchange with the Soviet Space Agency, you can learn about these core technologies at any time."

Xu You has made so many contributions to the Huaguo Space Administration, and it is only natural for Xu You to learn about some internal secret technologies.

"Professor Xu, there is one more thing. The Suzhou Space Administration has successfully analyzed some data of the out-of-control satellite, and is analyzing the cause of the satellite's loss of contact and out-of-control. They have also shared these data with us. I hope Together we can also help them with their analysis."

Hearing this news, Xu You hurriedly asked:

"Then Mr. Yang, let me participate too."

Xu You has always wanted to unravel the secret of the satellite's loss of control. Since the Soviet Space Agency is willing to share these data, it is exactly what Xu You wishes for.

"As long as Professor Xu is willing, we also have this intention. Finding this reason is a matter of great significance to the whole world."

The data of such satellites is very confidential and will not be easily shared with space agencies of other countries.

But this time, after the country of Su analyzed the satellite data, after a preliminary analysis, the cause of the satellite's loss of contact was not found out.

Since CNSA can even predict the fall of out-of-control satellite debris so accurately.

They also have reason to believe that Hua Guo can help them on this issue.

After receiving relevant satellite data, Xu You participated in the analysis of the data.

Because the amount of data is relatively limited, the analysis of the cause is not easy.

At present, the Suzhou Space Agency believes that the possible reasons include the exhaustion of satellite fuel, rare system failures, and the collision of satellites with space junk.

In addition to these reasons, Xu You speculated that there was a more likely reason.

"I think it may be the solar activity that caused the satellite to suddenly lose contact."

At the seminar, Xu You explained his point of view.

According to satellite data, the satellite experienced a rapid decline in orbit for a period of time before losing contact.

The rapid decline of this orbit is not due to some sudden situation, but the result of accumulation bit by bit.

This period of time coincides with the activity of sunspots.

Because of these influencing factors, it will only have a greater impact on satellites in certain specific orbits, and the greater the mass of the satellite, the more serious the impact.

So far, no other satellites have been reported to be similarly affected.

"Professor Xu, how sure are you of your inference?"

Since the amount of data is not enough, Xu You cannot guarantee that his inference is correct.

"I'm not too sure. This is just a more likely inference. But we have a way to further verify whether this inference is correct or not."

Hearing Xu You's words, everyone in the meeting room became excited.

"Professor Xu, what is your method?"

"Test our satellites in this orbit, and none of the orbits are affected. If my inference is correct, our satellites will also be affected to varying degrees. The greater the mass, the greater the degree of impact. .”

"Okay, Professor Xu, let's check our data right away!"

Just as Xu You expected.

According to our satellite data, our satellites in this orbit have indeed experienced a decrease in orbit altitude recently.

However, because the drop is relatively small, it is within the normal fluctuation range, and the orbit has been repaired automatically.

On the whole, satellites with greater mass have a greater orbital drop.

"According to my inference, because the intensity of the solar wind caused by sunspots is uneven, there may be a sudden increase in the intensity of resistance at certain positions. This satellite of the Soviet Union is likely to have encountered such an extreme situation. , because the resistance increases sharply in a short period of time, which directly leads to the loss of control of the satellite."

With the support of data, Xu You's point of view has become more convincing.

"Okay, then let's contact the Soviet Space Agency immediately and explain our inference."

Xu You frowned, thought for a while and said:

"If possible, I hope to share this news with all the major aerospace systems in the world. This is not only about us and Su, but also about the safety of all mankind."

After all, if another satellite falls, it may not necessarily fall somewhere.

"That's right, Professor Xu, this is also our idea. After we contact the Soviet Space Administration, we will inform the space systems of other countries of this news."

This time, CNSA notified NASA before NASA took the initiative to ask for relevant information, suggesting that they check the data of re-orbiting satellites to see if there is any abnormality.

"What did you say? CNSA believes that the satellite accident was caused by solar activity?"

"Yes, according to them, the possibility is very high."

Robert thought about it, and felt that this matter was indeed too important to be ignored.

"Okay, then let's quickly conduct a self-examination of our satellite. This situation should not be underestimated. We don't want similar accidents to happen to our satellites."

Under the inspection of the space systems of various countries.

Similar cases were found.

Because these conditions coincide with the time of sunspot activity, and conform to the corresponding regular characteristics.

The major aerospace systems agree that this should be the most likely cause of the failure.

But things are far from over.

Because it is not enough to find the cause.

If a similar situation happens again, a solution must be found.
