Chapter 667: New Generation Space Shuttle(2/2)
The success of this manned moon landing will undoubtedly add a lot to everyone's resume.
For everyone, this is undoubtedly a matter worthy of celebration and joy.
Waiting for the applause to pass, Xu Chuan cleared his throat and continued: "This time the manned moon landing has come to an end. Facts have proved that our Xinghai design is quite successful. It is not only capable of sending our astronauts to other
The planet even has the ability to rescue astronauts from other countries.”
"However, judging from this manned lunar landing operation and lunar surface rescue operation, I think Xinghai still has some flaws and problems, as well as some areas that need improvement and optimization."
"This meeting is being held in a hurry. The specific situation is in the report in front of you. Please take ten minutes to browse it roughly and then we will discuss it."
Hearing this, the sound of people flipping through documents and reports suddenly rang out in the conference room.
Ten minutes is not a long time, but it is enough for everyone present to browse through the temporarily printed report in front of them.
After waiting for everyone to read the report, Xu Chuan spoke again: "As for this meeting, there are two themes. One is the improvement of the Xinghai, and the other is the construction of the lunar base."
"Judging from NASA's lunar surface rescue operation, there is undoubtedly a risk in launching a lunar module to land on the moon."
"Whether it is the launch of the lunar module or the return and docking with the space shuttle, these are joint points with unstable working conditions and are more prone to accidents."
"In order to solve this problem, I thought about it. I think we can directly land our Xinghai on the moon as a whole by omitting the landing of the lunar module..."
Hearing this, the conference room immediately cast a look of surprise and astonishment, and a low-pitched discussion rang out.
Soon, a technician raised his hand and asked: "But there is almost no atmosphere on the moon. Even if we can build a runway on the moon, the takeoff and landing of Xinghai need to rely on the wings to provide a certain amount of air."
Lift can complete it.”
Xu Chuan nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed, the lack of atmosphere on the moon is a problem. However, our focus cannot be limited to the take-off and landing of the Xinghai."
"You can turn to page seven of the report."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Regarding the design of the space shuttle, we need to consider not only the transfer on the ground, but also the working environment of outer space and alien planets."
"For example, the low-gravity environment of the moon and Mars. In this case, we can also change the design idea and adopt a take-off and landing method similar to that of the Harrier fighter jet and F35 fighter jet."
"These two types of vector thrust jet engines have two important features. The first is the vector that can change the direction of the jet and generate thrust. The second is that it can generate lift through the downward jet, thereby achieving vertical takeoff and landing."
"If it is used on our next-generation space shuttle, it can theoretically achieve vertical takeoff and landing in a lower gravity environment."
