Chapter 1764

What business can you do in Eagle country?

Qin Guan knows that it is not easy to find business here. Chips are on the one hand, but mobile communications have not been promoted. They are mainly promoted in second-rate countries. There is little resistance, and they can't get in here for the time being.

In other words, there are few real high-tech products such as daily necessities. However, Qin Guan knows that a new era will come soon.

Relying on the other side's airliner crash, he created public opinion, and finally let Douglas company go bankrupt and be sold off. Qin Guan did a good job. Now, more than half of 1985 has passed, and in 1986, there will be other events, not aviation, but aerospace.

At the beginning of 1986, the Challenger space shuttle exploded in the process of taking off, which was a huge disaster in the history of world aerospace. Seven astronauts died in space, including even a teacher who planned to take a class in space.

At the same time, then, the Hercules rocket of the eagle country and the Ariana rocket of Europe failed to launch one after another. For a time, there was a short blank window period for commercial space launch. This window period is an unmistakable opportunity for our own commercial space launch.

We will not take advantage of the fire. However, since the opportunity has come, of course, we should seize it. It will be next year. Therefore, this year, we will walk around here and strive to win more launch opportunities. Even if we let the other party know our own side, it is also good. Later, they will think of their own side when they find that all kinds of rockets are exploding all the time.

Now lay the groundwork.

Qin Guan had this purpose. He stayed here for two days and waited for Wang Lao, a rocket expert from home.

Wang Lao graduated from the aircraft design major of capital Aviation College in the 1950s. Although he was engaged in aircraft, after graduation, he was assigned to the rocket department and became the subordinate of Tu Lao, the famous chief designer of long-range launch vehicles.

Now, he is the chief designer and commander in chief of the Long March 2 low orbit launch vehicle; The chief designer of Long March 3a is also the vice president of the launch vehicle technology research institute.

After receiving the news from Qin Guan, he immediately came by plane. Now, looking at Qin Guan, Wang is always very excited.

"Mr. Qin, where shall we go to have a look?"

"Go to Hughes company first," Qin Guan said. "I've contacted in advance. Let's go to Hughes company for investigation."

Recently, Qin Guan was a snake swallowing an elephant. He was going to eat Douglas company. This is definitely a matter of concern to all professionals. Aerospace is not separated. Many companies engaged in aviation are also engaged in aerospace. Therefore, when Qin Guan brought an investigation team to Hughes company, Robert, manager of Aerospace and Communication Department of Hughes company, personally came out to meet him.

Hughes company was also born in the war years. After the war, Hughes company set up a helicopter department to specially develop helicopters. Ah64 Apache is their masterpiece. Unfortunately, it is puzzling that McDonnell Douglas company acquired their helicopter department with 500 million yuan.

Of course, McDonnell Douglas didn't laugh to the end.

Hughes has thrown away the helicopter department, but in other aspects, they are still strong.

After the war, Hughes focused on providing the air force with integrated automatic navigation and bombing targeting systems for strategic bombers, as well as air-to-air missiles and fire control systems for interceptors.

Many famous airborne radars are produced by Hughes company. Then, Hughes gradually expanded its business to computers, radar equipment, photoelectric systems, missiles and satellites.

Especially in aerospace, Hughes has achieved many firsts, such as the world's first synchronous communication satellite and the surveyor's probe completed the first fully controllable lunar soft landing.

Hughes is absolutely the authority on satellites in the world, accounting for almost 40% of the world. Now they are also constantly producing all kinds of satellites.

If you want to get a contract, of course, the best thing is to go directly to the satellite manufacturer. They only manufacture satellites, and the launch is handed over to others. Since others can connect, Han can also connect.

"Hughes company is the overlord in the satellite field. We are here to investigate," Qin Guan said. "It's a great honor to visit you. We still have a lot to learn in aerospace."

Qin Guan's attitude is very modest. Robert also admires such a person who stirs up the wind and rain. After introducing him to other experts, Robert took everyone to visit the factory first.

Manufacturing satellites is absolutely the highest and sophisticated. They wear special comprehensive dust-proof clothes and go through several filters before they finally go in.

In the clean and tidy workshop, the staff are assembling in an orderly manner.

"The latest generation of communication satellite we are developing is hs601 satellite. This satellite is three-axis stable and is mainly used for signal forwarding. It can be deployed in large elliptical orbit or geostationary orbit. At present, this satellite has customers' intention to order."

As a satellite company, the satellites they developed also need to be sold to make money. For Hughes company, it is no problem to sell satellites. There are so many broadcasting companies and television companies in the world that need satellites to broadcast programs. Their product performance can be reliable and stable, and customers are very satisfied.

Now, even Han guests are potential customers. Introduce them. What if you can have one more user.

The other party is big money, not bad money.

After entering space, the satellite should be in stable operation. Ordinary satellites are spin stable and spin before launch, just like bullets from the muzzle of a gun spinning out.

In this way, the rotation axis of the satellite can be kept stable spontaneously by using the axis fixing property of the gyro. However, because only one axis is stable and controllable, the design of the satellite must be symmetrically distributed and the load is limited. The antenna communicating with the ground can only be installed on this rotation axis, and the attitude control and orbit control are troublesome.

In order to change this disadvantage, three-axis stability has emerged, which is the latest technology. In short, the satellite does not rotate and the body is stable in the X, y and Z directions. In this way, the previous shortcomings have been overcome. However, attitude control is very difficult. At present, only Hughes company has realized this technology on this latest satellite.
