Chapter 916: No. 1 in the world, high-thrust Hall thruster (page 13)
Everything Cao Yang boasted finally came true.
This time the launch of the "Chang'e Space Station" will naturally be no exception.
After completing the launch of the core module, the second launch was carried out the next week, and more space station components began to be launched into space.
Not surprisingly, this launch was also very successful.
However, after the new components were launched, a brand new problem began to appear in the eyes of Venus Technology and its peers.
That is whether Venus Technology has the ability to perfectly assemble these components in space so that they can truly function.
This kind of work is actually not difficult at all on the ground.
Even assembly work is the simplest process for the production of many products.
But in space, this problem is not simple at all.
As long as a certain angle is slightly misadjusted, big problems may arise.
If it's at best, it's just a waste of time and troubleshooting all over again. If it's more serious, it just destroys the device.
No matter which result it is, it is definitely not what Cao Yang wants to see.
In the past, many people felt that when watching some operations related to the space station, they felt that it was slow and unsatisfactory.
There are various reasons for this.
On the one hand, the various movements related to the space station itself are very subtle operations, and you cannot make big movements.
Of course, it is also very difficult to make big moves in space.
Because this means that you need to have relevant power output.
For example, when launching, it relies on the thrust of the rocket.
However, the space station needs to operate for a long time. If it relies on rockets, although it is not impossible, it will cause many problems.
For example, on the International Space Station, polar bears are needed to launch rockets and transport some fuel every year.
The purpose is to allow the International Space Station to operate normally.
Many people are concerned about how Venus Technology will deal with this issue this time.
"The No. 1 Hall thruster starts normally!"
"The angle is adjusted properly!"
"Open docking device number three!"
"The docking was successful!"
In the control hall inside Daystar Technology, technicians are methodically monitoring the assembly and connection of the core module of the Chang'e space station and other components.
Since most of the work is completed automatically by the system, manual intervention will only occur when special circumstances arise.
So controlling the atmosphere inside the hall is not particularly stressful.
After all, similar operation simulations have been carried out countless times before.
"Mr. Cao, this time the assembly speed of our core module and other components is several times faster than that of other space stations."
"It usually takes several days to assemble this kind of component for a general space station, but we completed all the work within half a day."
"The high-thrust Hall thruster plays an important role here."
Zhao Siyu stood in front of Cao Yang and watched the entire component assembly process.
Although we have made full preparations before, this is the first practical operation after all, so everyone still pays more attention to it.
"How much thrust can this Hall thruster achieve?"
Cao Yang naturally knows the various design structures of the core cabin. After all, he has personally participated in many projects.
However, as Qian Junfeng watched the docking process with Cao Yang and Zhao Siyu, he had countless questions in his mind that he wanted to confirm.
The Hall thruster utilizes the Hall effect. This effect means that when an energized conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the Lorentz force will deflect the charges in the conductor, thereby generating a voltage difference on both sides of the conductor, that is, the Hall voltage. .
The core component of the Hall thruster is the ion generator, which contains ionized inert gases, such as argon and xenon. The Hall effect is used to generate an electric field and expel ions at a high speed of 10 to 80 kilometers per second, thereby generating thrust.
Compared with chemical rocket engines, this propulsion method does not require the combustion of fuel to generate high-temperature and high-pressure gases. Instead, it uses solar energy, magnetic fields, and electric fields to generate high-speed ion flows, so it can convert energy into thrust more efficiently.
Hall thrusters have extremely high efficiency and a long working life.
Under normal circumstances, Hall thrusters can operate continuously for thousands of hours, while traditional rocket thrusters can only operate for a few minutes to a few hours.
This gives Hall thrusters a great advantage during long voyages.
For example, when humans begin to explore Mars and other planets, Hall thrusters can provide reliable propulsion for spacecraft, allowing spacecraft to travel in the solar system for years or even decades without having to worry about running out of fuel. .
In addition to exploring the solar system, Hall thrusters can also play an important role in deep space exploration missions.
For example, it could be used to explore planets, stars, and black holes in distant galaxies, and even for interstellar travel.
Therefore, many countries have conducted a lot of research on Hall thrusters.
The polar bears began to study this stuff in the 1950s and 1960s. Although the United States has a slightly different direction, it is now vigorously developing technology in this area.
However, China's technical level in this area was relatively poor before.
Even though they have been catching up for many years, the thrust of the Hall thrusters of Aerospace Science and Technology is still within 1 Newton, and the unit can only be marked in millinewtons.
But polar bears and the United States have both entered the era of cattle as the unit.
Seeing that the Hall thruster installed on the core cabin of Daystar Technology was working better than he imagined, Qian Junfeng's first reaction was that the other party had made a relatively big breakthrough in the Hall thruster.
This is definitely not a trivial matter for China's aerospace industry.
Because of this technology, both the United States and the polar bears are blocking China.
They will never take the initiative to tell you how this thing should be designed.
This is also an important reason why China has not made any particularly big breakthroughs in recent years.
"Mr. Qian, the power of our Hall thruster has reached 120KW and the thrust has reached 6.4N. It is currently the number one in the world."
Zhao Siyu's light words brought a huge impact to Qian Junfeng.
6.4N?
Many people may think what can such a little push do?
Although the force of pushing with one hand is more than 6.4N.
But you need to know that the latest design data of the X3 Hall thruster developed by the United States is only 100KW power and 5.4N thrust.
And this is just their design data. It will take another three years to successfully develop this product according to the plan.
As a result, Venus Technology has now used 6.4N Hall thrusters on the Chang'e space station.
This is definitely an atomic bomb.
