The upgrade of space telescopes is very troublesome.

The Harper Telescope has been in orbit for thirty years, and it has not been maintained or upgraded since the space shuttle was retired, so it is already very old.

Originally, its successor, Weber Telescope, should have been launched several years ago, but for various reasons, it has been pigeons again and again, and has been in the air and orbit of the "Sky Survey" telescope.

In fact, it is not easy to launch the "Sky Survey" telescope, and its name should even be called the "Sky Survey" telescope or the "Sky Survey Optical Cabin".

When Tianxia initially planned the Tiangong Space Station, the two sides of the core cabin were not exactly the same two experimental cabins, but one of them was the experimental cabin and the other was a "Cruise Cabin". The core equipment of this Cruise Cabin was a space telescope with a diameter of two meters.

In other words, in the initial version of the plan, the sky-surveillance telescope is part of the space station and is "community flight".

However, in later research, it was found that due to the operation of the space station itself, the activities of internal personnel, the docking of spacecraft, etc., the vibration may cause certain vibrations to the space station, and excessive vibrations will have a serious impact on the imaging of the space telescope.

Therefore, in the later design, the telescope was removed from the planning of the space station, but instead made an independent "optical cabin" to fly on a 400-kilometer-high orbit with the space station, which became "common-orbit flight".

Although the Sky Survey Telescope is no longer part of the space station, the Sky Palace Space Station still allows it to retain the name of the Sky Survey.

After all, when it is repaired, repaired, replenished, and upgraded, it will connect with the space station and become part of the space station.

With the development of human aerospace technology, it is becoming easier to manufacture and launch artificial space equipment, so that the number of space equipment has begun to soar.

Some plans even have tens of thousands of artificial satellites as soon as they launch. Although they are small in size, they cannot stand the number of large numbers. The number of artificial satellites planned may exceed the total number of artificial satellites launched by humans before.

With more and more artificial equipment in space, astronomical telescopes on Earth are suffering.

Originally, the atmosphere was a major enemy of the ground space telescope. It blocked the telescope's observation of space, as if it had made the telescope a "cataract".

Now countless artificial satellites are flying in space, reflecting light all the time. It seems that many cars are driving opposite you, and these cars are still driving the high beam flashing you.

If you can still see the road, then you are really awesome!

And at this time, it would be much better to own a space telescope.

First of all, the influence of the atmosphere is reduced to a minimum, and it will not disturb the image, have ultra-high visual phase, have no background light scattered by the atmosphere, will not absorb ultraviolet rays by the ozone layer, etc., which have many benefits.

Moreover, the space telescope is also in space orbit, just like an artificial satellite. As long as it is not hit, it will not have any impact.

But in the future, there will definitely be more and more artificial satellites, which is irreversible because humans need more and more artificial satellites.

As for those astronomical telescopes on the ground, there is nothing we can do. In addition to letting the telescope adjust its operating time and avoiding the most impacted artificial satellite constellations, it is also to let satellite manufacturing companies turn the appearance of artificial satellites "dark" and prevent the satellites from reflecting so much.

In addition to these, you can only launch space telescopes more, and those who cannot be launched will be waiting for the space telescopes to be too many and spend money to rent them.

In fact, it is like that. There will only be more and more artificial facilities in space orbit. Just a few days after the patrol optical cabin was launched, the inflatable space station on Meriken was launched.

This inflatable space station is in a compressed state when it is launched. After reaching the predetermined orbital position, it will expand into a giant after a few hours.

Its diameter reaches 10 meters above the space station, its length reaches 17 meters, and its habitable space directly reaches more than 1,000 cubic meters, instantly exceeding the habitable area of ​​Starry Sky Inn, winning the title of "the largest single space compartment in humans".

All of a sudden, Meriken Aerospace became proud.

After being suppressed by Pilot Space for so long, they can be considered a game back.

Although aerospace technology has no borders and every advancement in aerospace technology represents the progress of human aerospace technology, it is still very different between the two sides when it comes to reality.

Before the official said anything, netizens on both sides started to do it.

"Haha, your Navigator is not very powerful, but unfortunately we, Gro, are even more powerful. Your space station single record has only been maintained for a few days."

"Haha, your space station is so powerful that it is resident. It's just an empty shell that makes you so proud. You should decorate the unfinished house into a fine decoration room."

"I envy you just say envy you. It's nothing if you don't have decoration now. Our foundation is big enough. You can decorate whatever you want at that time!"

"That is, no matter what you say, the fact that Gross Space Station is more than twice as big as your space station. Moreover, it is just a cabin, and two same cabin combinations are just a complete body!"

"There are two cabins combined. You can use one cabin first. At least the Pilot Space Station has been used, and manned equipment has been used. Commercial space travel will also begin this month."

Tang Chao was also interested in seeing each other, but some information was not very accurate, such as someone who said "Pilot Space Station".

The space station of Pilot Company is clearly called "Starry Inn", but the small space station seems to be directly named as the company, which is still far from it.

If you want to prefix the name "Pilot", you must at least use it at the level of a space fortress or space city.

However, Gro's inflatable space station is indeed big enough, but it is just big enough, and it is empty inside, like a big balloon.

It’s not that it is not safe enough, but that it takes too long to go from launch to formal operation, because there is nothing inside and all the equipment needs to be transported for installation, but the work efficiency in space is far less than that on the ground.

First, weightless environments are not friendly to fine installation work, and second, astronauts are not as good as professional space station manufacturing engineers.

Add two to each other, and the efficiency is directly in contact with the bottom.

The most important thing is that things that can be shipped in one go can be shipped in many times. This will not only lengthen the time, but also make the transportation cost after selection, and may even increase.

The only thing I got was the huge space station space.

After such a trip, it costs a lot, and the service life of the space station is limited, and the inflatable time is shorter than that of traditional space stations.

In addition, its positioning is a commercial space station. Not only does it have to pay back the money, it will definitely want to make money, so its pricing will definitely weigh back and forth.

If it were the past, its price would definitely be lower than that of the International Space Station, and the space is large enough, so its competitiveness is quite good.

Not only can it attract commercial space tourists, but it may also receive orders from some countries.

But now it is different. The space station of Pilot Space Company has already entered the sky first. In addition, the use of orbital shuttles has made the price on Pilot's side a terrible place.

Well, compared to the traditional prices in the aerospace world.

In this case, Gro's commercial space tourism plan, I wonder what method it will deal with?
Chapter completed!
