Chapter 472 (1/2)

With the production of the space center on the side of the Tiangong science and technology desert, the three-stage rocket of tiangong-9 rocket was remanufactured in only two days, and the first tiangong-9 rocket in the industrial zone here was completed in two days.

At the same time, the official space station module to be launched, that is, a large space experiment module, has also been delivered on the same day.

Moreover, there are many big differences between the laboratory sent by the official this time and the previous experimental cabin, that is, the experimental cabin sent by the official this time is not cylindrical, but hexagonal.

It can also be seen from here that the authorities are making very large modifications to the space station.

After all, according to the official design, in fact, their space station is less than 100 tons, but now the tonnage of the space station will be expanded to nearly 1000 tons, so the structure of the original space station can no longer support the structure of the new space station.

Therefore, the official will naturally make a series of modifications to it, including various segments of the space station.

From the segmentation of the experimental module, it is clear that the official space station has determined to use the honeycomb structure. After all, compared with other shapes, if the honeycomb space station uses the structure with multiple overlapping segments, it will be more strengthened in terms of structure, the performance of the space station in all aspects will be more excellent, and the internal space utilization rate of the space station will be higher, And definitely higher.

Most importantly, such a space station is obviously more beneficial to future expansion.

Obviously, officials are still dissatisfied with the nearly 1000 ton space station.

In this regard, Wang Bin is naturally not unhappy. On the contrary, Wang Bin's heart is still very happy at this time. After all, even Wang Bin is a little worried. The official has stopped the pace of exploring space. After all, once the official stops, it is obviously not enough to rely on their own power of Tiangong technology.

After all, officials are the main force in the exploration and development of space, while private space companies, including Tiangong technology, play a supporting role.

Therefore, on the day when the official sent the experimental module to the desert, Wang Bin and Tiangong technology installed the experimental module on the erected rocket in sections overnight and prepared to launch the next day.

Fortunately, the weather here in the desert is basically sunny, so as long as it is not too windy and sandy, it is basically possible to launch rockets.

The next night, Wang Bin and others successfully put the experimental module of the official space station into the predetermined orbit of space, and finally completed the docking with the core module of the space station.

Moreover, since the launch altitude this time is only 400 kilometers, the whole tiangong-9 rocket, including the first, second and third stage rocket and fairing, has been successfully recovered.

This makes all the personnel involved in the launch of the rocket, including the technicians and experts sent by the government, very happy. After all, according to the verification of their Tiangong technology, the funds used for the launch of the space station are equivalent to tens of millions of yuan, that is, only the money for fuel. This giant weighing more than 30 tons, It is absolutely gratifying to be sent into space and docked with the core module of the space station.
