Chapter 280 (2/2)
Although Tiangong technology has mastered the multi-stage rocket technology, for the sake of insurance, the rocket we manufactured this time is a single-stage rocket with a total weight of 350 tons.
In terms of carrying capacity, it is not very big. The carrying capacity of low orbit is only about 0.5 tons. This rocket does not have the carrying capacity of medium and high orbit. ”Wang Bin thought about it and told them the current progress of Tiangong technology in the rocket project.
”Yes, very good. Compared with multi-stage rockets, single-stage rockets are indeed relatively simple in technology. At the same time, in terms of carrying capacity, although they are far from enough compared with those medium and large rockets, they are very good compared with those rockets with a carrying capacity of less than 100 kilograms or even only dozens of kilograms.
What's more, this is the first rocket of your Tiangong technology. I believe that with your Tiangong technology gradually mastering the rocket manufacturing and launching technology, the Rockets you make will become more and more advanced in terms of quality and performance, as well as in terms of load capacity. ”Old Qin nodded with a smile and said to Wang Bin.
Obviously, he is very happy that Tiangong technology can develop and produce the first rocket in such a short time. After all, Tiangong technology is a private enterprise, and it is only a company that has been transformed for less than a year.
Although it is said that in addition to Tiangong technology, there are also private Aerospace Companies in China, as the head of the Aerospace Department, Mr. Qin is very clear about the situation of these domestic aerospace companies.
Compared with the Rockets produced by domestic official aerospace companies, they have an ultra-high success rate. Domestic private enterprises are very young in this regard, and the success rate is very low. However, even so, the state is very looking forward to these private aerospace companies, and even handed over their launch tasks to them for many times.
You know, the price of the spacecraft to be launched for these missions is very large, even if it is described as priceless. Once the launch fails, these expensive spacecraft will definitely lose their money.
However, even if these private aerospace companies fail to launch repeatedly and the spacecraft to be launched are directly damaged, the official still supports these private aerospace companies as always.
At present, the rocket of Tiangong technology has just been successfully developed and has not been launched. Old Qin is also very concerned. At the same time, he sincerely wishes that the rocket of Tiangong technology has a reasonable design and can be launched successfully in the upcoming launch.
So he asked Wang Bin, ”Mr. Wang, although I believe in your technology, the launch of the rocket is definitely not a simple thing, so I don't know whether you need our official technical support.
At the same time, I also hope that President Wang, your Tiangong technology launches a rocket for the first time, not at the launch site where your Tiangong technology is currently under construction.
Although the launch site of your Tiangong technology is only a few tens of kilometers away from the sea, there are still many towns within these tens of kilometers. Once there is an accident, it will be absolutely disastrous for these towns.
So I suggest Mr. Wang that your first rocket of Tiangong technology can be placed at our official launch site in the South China Sea or directly launched at sea. In this way, even if the rocket launch fails, it will not cause heavy casualties. ”Old Qin said seriously.
Wang Bin naturally agrees with Qin's suggestion. After all, this is the first launch of Wang Bin's first rocket of Tiangong technology. No one knows whether this rocket can succeed.
Even in the previous design and manufacturing, there is always negligence in how perfect the data is. Once there is an accident, the consequences are absolutely very serious.
