Chapter 501 (2/2)

At the same time, so many space stations, especially those affiliated to Tiangong technology and the official space station, look quite huge because the construction has been basically completed. Once at night, they hang in the sky like two night pearls.

These two space stations are so huge that there are naturally few people working in these two space stations. Take the Ziwei space station of Tiangong technology for example. Although its total tonnage is only 1500 tons, there are thousands of astronauts living and scientific research in this space.

In addition, people also see a little fire from time to time, close to these return stations, and then there is a fire to leave these space stations. It is very clear to everyone that these flashes of fire are the space plane to and from the space station, and the means of transportation between the earth and the space station.

At the same time, in this era, it is quite convenient for people to travel in space. Just report to the official or Tiangong technology, and the price is also very cheap. The price for everyone to and from the space station is only a little more than 100000. It can be said that even ordinary people can afford such a price.

In the past three years, according to Tiangong technology and official statistics, the number of people traveling to space in China alone has reached hundreds of thousands. It can be imagined how popular space tourism is today.

Of course, this is only for China. If it is placed outside China, space tourism is not very easy, because at this time, the official side and Tiangong technology, all the aerospace aircraft have added up, and the number has reached more than 500, and it is mainly medium-sized aerospace aircraft, that is, Phoenix II series.

You should know that the Phoenix series is not the Phoenix II series. Let alone the passenger operation of the Phoenix II series, the aerospace aircraft is only the original aircraft of the Phoenix II series, that is, the phoenix-kt2. With the crew at most, it can also carry 13 astronauts. This is still the Standard Version of the Phoenix II series.

As for the passenger space plane of Phoenix II series, its maximum passenger capacity can send more than 100 astronauts to the space station at one time and then pick up more than 100 astronauts from space, which is absolutely unmatched by other space agencies in the world.

Although in the past three years, other space agencies in the world have successively developed their own space shuttles after purchasing the pulse detonation rocket engine of Tiangong technology, most of them are cargo type space shuttles. Even one or two have developed passenger type space shuttles, but due to their own technology and other reasons, Its maximum passenger capacity can only carry 20 or 30 astronauts at one time. Thank God.

In addition, the Phoenix II series of aerospace aircraft can reach the medium and high orbit space station, while the Phoenix series and the aerospace aircraft they developed can basically only be used for the round-trip of the medium and low orbit space station. So the gap between them and China is still very huge.
