Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space: About the successful launch of Long March 5


The latest website: Yesterday, the Long March 5 was successfully launched. In your impression, the success rate of rocket launches in our country is relatively high. Under normal circumstances, a rocket is launched, and even news reports are not very visible... Why is this? Will the one-time Long March No. 5 (abbreviated as Fat 5) be directly searched?

First of all, this is a heavy rocket. The rockets with high launch success rate in the past are not heavy rockets. Like long three-A and long three-B rockets, they are all medium-sized rockets, very old models, and technology. Mature, experienced and reused all the time, the probability of failure is of course very low.

But the old rockets in the past have limited capabilities and are increasingly unable to adapt to China's aerospace needs, so Fat Five has become the only seedling in the village.

This is a new rocket. It uses new technology and can carry more things. The cost of launching is of course very high.

Because the launch has failed once, if it fails again this time, many of China's space programs will be delayed, which will also cause a blow to the confidence of space workers. A person's life is very short. If it fails again, after a few years of troubleshooting, a few years of redesigning, and a few years of manufacturing, the youth of these scientific researchers will also pass away.

The question is, what will the fat five success bring?

1: September 2020-a new generation of manned spacecraft in low-Earth orbit testing.

2: The fourth quarter of 2020-Chang'e 5 lunar sample return mission.

Attention, after Chang'e 5 reaches the moon, it has to jump back again.

The Americans are so stingy. After landing on the moon, they only gave China 1g of lunar soil. Scientists studied 0.5g, and 0.5g can only be placed in the museum.

This time, let's take it ourselves, and study as much as we want!

3: 2021-the launch of the core module of the Chinese space station-code name: Tianhe

4: 2021-China Space Station No. 1 test module launch-code name: Wentian

5: 2022-China Space Station No. 2 Experimental Module Launch-Code Name: Mengtian

If these projects are completed, they can replace the International Space Station, but these are inseparable from heavy rockets.

6: 2024-Chang'e 6's second lunar sample return mission.

7: 2024-The Hubble-level Chinese Space Telescope in common orbit with the space station was completed-Code: Sky Survey

8: 2024-SPORT project-mankind's strongest solar polar orbiting space telescope.

As a melon-eating crowd, the first contribution is paying taxes~IndoMTL.com~The second contribution is popular science. It is enough to let everyone know about this.

Although there is still a big gap between our country and the United States, I think the main reason is that it burns too little money. The awesome Saturn 5 costs the same as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!

And Saturn 5 launched 13 times and burned 13 aircraft carriers. Adding research and development expenses, it is equal to 15 aircraft carriers.

And the total amount of money burned by my country's aerospace industry may not have an aircraft carrier. So it won’t catch up for a while, it’s nothing. With so many subjects to develop, like nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, etc., it is impossible to allocate all funds to aerospace, and there is no need to repeat the work of the Americans.

But I believe that the development in this area will get better and better in the future.

Okay, after the science popularization is over, the monthly pass will be doubled tomorrow. If you have the monthly pass, you can keep it. Check the red envelope area to see if there are any red envelopes you can grab.

If you don’t have a red envelope, you can vote for me tomorrow, no need to vote today!
