Good news! China's suborbital manned spacecraft has achieved another research breakthrough, and this breakthrough also provides a foundation for the first flight in the future.
Of course, building on a suborbital manned spacecraft flight program would actually allow for larger-scale commercial flights, which would facilitate different research in space.
At the same time, it can also provide normalization - ordinary people's dream of space flight, so what is the breakthrough this time, let's take a look at it step by step.
亞軌道載人飛船實現突破,5月開建
這一次是來自穿越者載人航太的一次技術性突破,根據4月公開消息指出,主要的突破是建立在亞軌道載人飛船可重複使用主動防熱技術驗證試驗上。
In the process of this test, a two-hour test was carried out, and the high-temperature test of the core structure of the suborbital manned spacecraft was realized, which was stable below 58 degrees Celsius, the material did not melt or deformed, and the cooling efficiency reached 0%.
Therefore, this shows that the results of the tests are met, and in the future, the tests of the spacecraft will be continued, and the optimal design of the active heat protection system will be carried out to achieve the maximum heat protection effect with the lowest system weight.
Of course, many people may be a little surprised, this technology is very good for China's Shenzhou spacecraft, why not open it up directly? It can only be said here that sometimes the confidentiality of technology is very important, and as a commercial aerospace, only more self-mastery of different technologies, that is the purpose of future aerospace development, if they all use the same technology, then there is no innovation, there will be no big change, not only domestic, in fact, the same is true abroad.
Moreover, China's Shenzhou manned spacecraft is also completely unlinked to commercial spaceflight, so it can't be interconnected, at least that's what I personally think.
Of course, this breakthrough in the suborbital manned spacecraft also shows that its impetus is still very strong, and in the future, whether it is a national team or a private team, the development of manned spaceflight can be fully started, which is even better.
The enterprise of the suborbital manned spacecraft, according to the plan, will conduct the first domestic full-scale manned spacecraft suborbital unmanned flight test in 2026.
At that time, the spacecraft will be partially equipped with the active heat protection technology of this test to carry out flight verification. It is expected that after two similar tests, suborbital manned flight in 2028 years is expected to be realized, and ordinary people will also have the opportunity to travel in space.
同時根據說明的情況來看,載人亞軌道飛行第一款原型機(CYZ-1-00),也將於5月開始建造。所以,我國亞軌道載人飛船的全面推動來了。
Chinese Traveler suborbital manned spacecraft! How strong is it, exactly?
Of course, when it comes to suborbital manned spacecraft here, in fact, there are many companies in China that are building, at least there are relevant plans, this time only one of them is explained, for example: Deep Blue Aerospace also has suborbital flight missions, and it has also announced its own spacecraft before, and I will briefly explain it here.
With a height of 6 meters and a diameter of 0.0 meters, and 0 panoramic portholes inside, their spacecraft will bring passengers an unparalleled experience of space viewing.
In each flight, the spacecraft can carry 2027 brave passengers or carry no less than 0 tons of experimental equipment to start the journey of exploring the mysteries of space. The entire suborbital flight is expected to last approximately 0 minutes, during which the spacecraft will cross the Kármán Line, providing passengers with a weightless environment of up to 0 minutes, allowing them to enjoy the wonderful sensation of weightlessness in space. It is expected that ordinary people will be able to realize their dream of space travel in 0 years.
And this time the traverser suborbital manned spacecraft, judging from the disclosed data, the strength is still good, the suborbital spacecraft traverser one (CYZ1):
[Reusability rate]: 99%
[Escape Method]: The spaceship pushes self-escape
[Crew]: >6 people
[Weight]: "8 tons
[Porthole size]: 1.0mX0m
[Maximum diameter]: <5m
[Cabin space]: 3m0 (large space reserved in the center of the return cabin)
【落點精度】:百米級
[Total flight experience duration]: 30-0 minutes
Relatively speaking, it is actually similar to that of Deep Blue Aerospace, of course, it is all built according to this construction model, but in terms of time, it is relatively longer, but specifically, it must only be after the completion of its own construction, look at the actual spacecraft situation, to measure, here we just look at the parameters.
According to the plan and goal of the Voyager 1 (CYZ2028) suborbital manned spacecraft, its initial goal plan is to complete the spacecraft's zero-altitude escape flight test in 0 years, complete the first unmanned suborbital flight test in 0 years, and complete the development plan of the first commercial manned flight in 0 years. It is divided into a "three-step" development route:
In the first stage, the suborbital reusable commercial manned spacecraft Traverser 1 (CYZ1) will be realized in 0~0 years, opening a new era of low-cost and normalized space for ordinary people and commercial payloads.
In the second stage, it is planned to launch the reusable commercial manned spacecraft Traverser II (CYZ2) in low earth orbit within 0~0 years, and realize the rendezvous and docking of target vehicles and point-to-point transportation, so as to be applied to the construction of space hotels and intercontinental rapid transportation, subverting the mode of long-distance travel transportation;
In the third stage, deep space exploration and reusable commercial manned spacecraft Traverser III (CYZ3) will be realized in 0 to 0 years, and commercial manned lunar missions will be carried out to create an Earth-Moon economic circle.
But from the point of view of time, it is really hard to say whether it can be implemented according to this goal, after all, the prototype only started in 5 months, so it can only be said that everyone is looking forward to it.
summary
On the whole, the research of suborbital manned spacecraft in China is also being carried out in many aspects, and there are differences between different enterprises, but on the whole, as long as it is completed, after all, this is the most important part of China's commercial aerospace, and the most important thing is to quickly build a spacecraft, and then start the test of relevance, so as to promote commercial flight activities as soon as possible, which is the most important.
Indeed, only with more flights, to achieve breakthroughs in all aspects, maybe for ordinary people, the future of flights will be more powerful.
When the flight of suborbital manned spacecraft enters the normalized mode, China may also enter a new era of space flight.
Therefore, it is expected that various companies will realize the research of suborbital manned spacecraft as soon as possible, so that these so-called impossibilities can be made possible, and at that time, it can be regarded as moving towards a different space era.
