This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 279 Reaching the sky!

No one expected that the wooden kite aerospace plane would start commercial sales so soon.

After all, there is a difference between commercial flying and commercial sales.

Moreover, aerospace equipment, especially vehicles, is basically the purchase of launch services.

Your satellite is transported to the other party's launch center, and then it can be launched after being loaded on the rocket, which is very convenient.

There are also those who directly buy the rocket, but after buying it, it is launched on other people's launch platforms, and the buyer only buys the ownership.

After all, if you don't have your own launch platform, you can't launch it even if you go back.

Even if you have a launch platform, if other people's rockets are not compatible with your launch platform, they will not be able to launch.

But now it's different. The launch of aerospace planes has completely broken through the tradition. It can take off on the runway. There is no need for a launch pad that is completely suitable for rocket models!
The first mass-produced aerospace plane of the wooden kite type was named "Seven-pointed Star" by the Arab League, which means that the Arab League is composed of 7 emirates.

Such a small country, because it can realize manned spaceflight by buying an aerospace plane, other countries are excited.

"The aerospace plane is so versatile, I have to persuade our country to buy one too."

"Who doesn't want to own such a cowhide aerospace plane? Don't look at it, it's about you...Proud Gallic Rooster, stop messing with the Freedom Federation, it won't allow you to have manned spaceflight technology, you might as well buy one A wooden kite-shaped aerospace plane!"

"That's right. Several countries in Europa have great advantages. They have good aerospace capabilities. Buying an aerospace plane will immediately double their strength! They can also master the ability to carry people into space, how great! "

"That's right, as the five elders of the International Parliament, only Saxon and Gaul have no manned spaceflight capabilities."

"With an aerospace plane, you don't have to look at the face of the Freedom Federation anymore."

"But will the Free Federation allow aerospace aircraft to dock with the International Space Station?"

"Yes, I remember that the docking port of the International Space Station is different. When Lucia docked with the Free Federation, a special docking device was specially built."

"You also said that when Lucia docked with the Freedom Federation's space station, a special docking device was used. The Freedom Federation does not allow docking. You can dock with Lucia. Anyway, the International Space Station is not owned by the Freedom Federation."

"That's right, the development of Fanxing Aerospace has learned from Lucia's aerospace industry. Even if the interface is different, it can be easily modified."

"That's it, so I hope Lucia can buy one as soon as possible. Its manned spaceship is really too old and the space is very small."

"I don't think Lucia will buy it because it's embarrassing."

"Why wasn't the first mass-produced plane bought by Fanxing, but sold to the Arab League?"

"Is there any difference whether Fanxing buys it or not? It's still used less?"

"That's right, Fanxing can just buy services directly, anyway, Practical Technology is Fanxing's company."

"I think the Stars Space Agency will still buy it, but it's not in a hurry."

"Look at the news, announcements from some countries have come out..."

Many people guessed right, Fanxing Space Agency will definitely buy it, and it is the mass-produced "No. [-] machine".

Although it is very convenient to use the Wooden Kite, after all, it has many orders for commercial operation, and there are always delays. The Stars Space Agency must have its own.

In addition, the space agencies of some countries suddenly decided to send people to study and communicate.

It just so happens that these countries are the kind of countries that have space agencies, but are not strong in aerospace capabilities, or even basically have no aerospace capabilities.

As for what they want to learn and communicate when they come here, they know everything.

Anyway, the world has become lively again, and it's not because of the war, and it has nothing to do with the Freedom Federation...

Uh, how did the Freedom Federation have anything to do with the war?

Forget it, it makes no difference anyway.

The Arab League accounted for most of the international trending searches in March. In fact, they were basically all the news about the "Seven-pointed Star".

In particular, the Arab League adopted Li Future's suggestion, and they really launched satellites with space planes.

Originally, the Arab Space Agency cooperated with domestic universities of science and technology to develop a small satellite, and planned to buy a small rocket launch service from the Free Federal Space Company. As a result, they have an aerospace plane, so the situation is different.

This small satellite is only 50 centimeters square when the solar panel is folded up. In fact, it is not small among small satellites, but it just fits through the docking port of the wooden kite-shaped aerospace plane.

very good!
For this reason, the Arab Union Space Agency bought two sets of extravehicular spacesuits from Practical Technology, and the "Seven-pointed Star" carried two astronauts and a small satellite into orbit.

Afterwards, the astronaut put on the extravehicular space suit, then hung up the safety rope to open the hatch, and carefully pushed the small satellite out.

After the small satellite left the "Seven-pointed Star" for a certain distance, the space center let it turn on the solar panels, and then started the engine to correct the orbit.

Become!

Because the mission this time is to launch a satellite, the astronauts who hung the safety rope only stretched out two hands, and did not perform the task of leaving the cabin.

But a week later, these two astronauts used the "Seven-pointed Star" to perform the mission of leaving the cabin!
These two operations were too showy, which greatly increased the desire of other countries to buy wooden kite-type aerospace planes, and ordinary people also enjoyed watching them very much.

In mid-April, the New Glenn rocket carried the second inflatable cabin and successfully made its maiden flight. The docking of the second inflatable cabin with the first did not overwhelm the heat of the wooden kite aerospace plane.

And there are already two B340 inflatable space capsules in orbit, and the third one mentioned later will be pushed back some time.

The main reason is that there is no first flight of a big rocket in the near future, so we simply decorate the two inflatable cabins first.

Astronauts are needed for the decoration of the inflatable cabin, so the manned launch service must be bought, and the cargo launch service must also be bought at the same time. The two spacecraft are docked to the inflatable cabin at the same time for decoration.

This is a very expensive step.

But before they were refurbished, there was another big movement from Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Corporation.

The full version of the "Big Fat" rocket was rolled out of the assembly building, and it was about to take its first flight.

The launch of the "Big Fat" rocket is similar to the launch of the starship rocket. Both the booster and the carrier spacecraft are moved to the launch pad, and then the mobile platform of the booster is the launch platform. The carrier spacecraft must be hoisted to the booster by a large crane. device.

People can obviously see that the launch pad crane of Practical Technology is larger than the launch pad crane of Interplanetary Exploration Technology Company. This generally means that the "big fat" spacecraft is heavier than the starship.

At the same time, it may also mean that the "big fat" has a stronger carrying capacity.

When "Big Fatty" was fully assembled, Li Weiwei took a photo with the super rocket on the spot, and then posted it on the Internet.

Netizens were amazed by the hugeness of the rocket, and also knew its name, that is - Qingtian!
