Of course, at this time, because the Phoenix-5 aerospace plane, that is, the dz0248 aerospace flight, is still some distance away from the Ziwei space station, the space station in front of everyone is just a white spot, but with the double The distance between them is getting closer and closer, so the white dots are getting brighter and bigger. The brightness of the reflected sunlight in the space station of the airliner is very high, even on the ground of the earth. Seeing that the light shining from the space station definitely exceeds the brightness of the brightest star that is seen on the earth, the Venus.
Not to mention that both parties are in the Universe, there is no barrier from the atmosphere, even more so, but as the light gets brighter and brighter, and finally as the aerospace plane continues to approach, the panoramic view of the Ziwei space station also gradually appears. In front of everyone on board.
Although in the distance, no one thinks how big the Ziwei space station is. After all, the background of the Ziwei space station is in Universe space. It is the moon and the earth. Compared with these planets, the Ziwei space station is indeed like a cell. After all, the total mass of the Ziwei space station is only a few thousand tons.
But when the aerospace plane took everyone close to the Ziwei space station, everyone had a clear understanding of the Ziwei space station. Although the tonnage of the Ziwei space station may not be large, it only needs a few thousand tons after all. Its size is definitely not small.
This can be seen from the previous International Space Station on Earth.
In the past, the largest space station in the entire human civilization, the International Space Station, had a mass of only 400 tons, but its maximum length reached more than 110 meters, and its maximum width reached nearly 90 meters. The size of the meter is larger, but its tonnage is only more than 400 tons.
The Ziwei space station has a weight of several thousand tons, so the maximum length has reached nearly two hundred meters, and its maximum width has reached more than 180 meters. The maximum usable diameter inside the space station is even greater. At more than ten meters, it is definitely a giant.
The most important thing is that the Ziwei space station is different from all the space stations of the previous human civilization. Most of the space stations of the previous human civilization are composed of ultra-light metals, such as aluminum-magnesium alloys, but the Ziwei space station is different. In order to ensure the safety of the space station, the outer shell of the space station is made of special alloy steel, and there are no messy lines and pipelines inside and outside the space station. All give people a natural sense of security. This is the previous human civilization. The space station simply cannot do it.
Of course, the facts are also true. Whether in terms of impact resistance or internal fire protection performance, the Ziwei space station is not comparable to the previous space station, even if it is compared with other foreign space stations currently under construction. In terms of performance, it is not comparable to other space stations.
At this time, when everyone in the plane saw such a huge space station, many people in the plane silently left tears of excitement. After all, this space station is completely autonomous by China and Tiangong Technology. Design an independent launch, independent manufacturing, and independent construction of the space station. Every screw in it is the result of the hard work of many companies in China.
When was China being squeezed out by foreign aerospace agencies and unable to participate in their projects, but now, China’s Tiangong Technology not only designed and built the largest space station in fact, but also invited those space agencies that once squeezed China to come. Come.
After all, in today’s human civilization, apart from Tiangong Technology’s ability to independently design and build space stations above the kiloton level, there is no aerospace agency that has this capability. Some people even say that even if it is Tiangong Technology’s design drawings for the construction of this space station Given these space agencies, they would not be able to build them without the help of Tiangong Science and Technology.
Of course, everyone knows that Tiangong Technology and the government, in order to build this space station, made efforts that ordinary people could not imagine. Not to mention other things, the investment in money alone was as high as trillions, not to mention. , The manpower and material resources expended in the process of building this space station.
Of course, in the current world situation, as a qualified official reporter, Luo Daling would naturally not say this. Instead, she asked the photographer to point the camera at the Ziwei space station while also introducing some basics of the space station. Data and functions.
As the aeroplane continued to approach the space station, at this time, the aeroplane’s broadcast sounded again, and during the broadcast, everyone was asked to return to their own seats and fix themselves, and then the same as before, the aeroplane The glass cover on each seat also rises again.
For all this, everyone on the plane knows that the plane is about to dock with the space station, and there will be a certain degree of danger during the docking process between the plane and the space station.
Soon, the distance between the aircraft and the space station was close to within two hundred meters. At this time, the pilot of the aircraft also started the intelligent docking program independently developed by Tiangong Technology.
After all, when docking an aerospace plane with a space station, it is quite dangerous, especially during manual operation. If the pilot makes fewer mistakes during the docking process, the plane may be directly installed on the space station.
Although it is, the impact resistance of the space station may not suffer much damage, but for the aerospace aircraft, this is not the case. After all, compared with the space station, the impact resistance of the aerospace aircraft is still somewhat fragile.
The use of smart docking procedures is different. During the docking process of the aerospace aircraft and the space station, manual intervention is not required, and during the docking process of the space station, if there is an error in the program, the aircraft will directly stop docking, if there is no If the method is available, the docking can also be manually interrupted and switched to manual docking.
In short, for the safety of the spacecraft of the two parties when docking, Tiangong Technology has also worked hard.
Of course, all these things done by Tiangong Technology are also very useful. Before this set of docking procedures came out, during the docking process between the aerospace plane and the space station, there were indeed many dangerous situations. The sky plane even directly knocked off a solar panel on the space station.
However, since Tiangong Technology developed an autonomous docking program, such a thing has never happened again, and even a small danger has never happened again.
In addition, the docking time is also much faster. In the past, the docking of spacecraft took at least a few hours or even a few days. However, with this set of procedures, it often only takes In half an hour, the docking can be successful, which shows how helpful this set of procedures is to the docking of the spacecraft.
At the same time, now, not only Tiangong Technology itself is using this program, even official space stations and foreign space stations are also using this program.
