Being old and having children is the happiest thing for many people, and for Logino Loginsky, his child is Spiral! When he was in his fifties, he began to work on the helix. After several ups and downs, he was stopped again when he was about to enter the fast lane of development. Different from the previous ones, he stopped this time because of Because it is necessary to develop a Blizzard that is more advanced than the Helix.
Even so, Logino still doesn't want the Helix to disappear. He wants to regenerate the Helix in another way!
Therefore, when the Blizzard was designed, he was constantly making assumptions, how could the "spiral" be reborn with the help of the development of the "Blizzard"? Might as well let the Blizzard be the carrier of the Helix!
The famous Spiral program from more than a decade ago consisted of two parts: a hypersonic mother plane and a military spacecraft. The hypersonic parent aircraft carries a military spacecraft on its back, and uses the scooter during takeoff. When the speed reaches 380 to 400 kilometers per hour, the whole body and the scooter are separated and fly into the air. Afterwards, the hypersonic mother plane exerts force, and when the sprint reaches the predetermined speed and altitude, the military spacecraft leaves the mother plane and flies to the orbit.
Among them, the hypersonic carrier aircraft was developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau. It needs to fly to a speed of Mach six and an altitude of 24 to 30 kilometers, while the load is ten tons.
The military spacecraft is in charge of Logino. This is a single-seat winged combat aircraft that can be installed with different mission modules to perform daytime photo reconnaissance, radar reconnaissance, and interception of space targets. The reconnaissance model carries 500 Kilogram combat load, the interceptor model carries a 2000 kg combat load. Military spacecraft have orbital altitudes ranging from 130 to 1,350 kilometers, depending on launch and inclination. Complete the mission in two or three laps around the flight, and then land, relying on the engine on the spacecraft to be maneuverable.
And now, this project is terminated, Logino thought, simply use the space shuttle as its carrier! With a special revolver-style arrangement, five can fit into the space shuttle's cargo bay! In this way, a Blizzard will become a space carrier! Own five fighter jets! Because the height and speed of the space shuttle are far higher than those of the original Tupolev Design Bureau, these fighter jets have better combat flexibility!
If this plan works, that would be great! It's just that the current Blizzard's mission plan will be a huge plan, and it is estimated that tens of billions of rubles will be spent. At this time, Logino did not dare to show his plan to the upper management, and now, It happened that General Andrei came to inspect. This person, but a close friend of General Secretary Andropov, just pretended to accidentally expose it and see the reaction of this person. If this person is not interested, then he has nothing to lose. If this person is very interested in this plan, then his ideal can be realized!
And now, seeing the other party's reaction, Logino knew that he was right! General Andrei is very interested!
"I'm sorry, this is just my own interest. I just drew such a picture. I'm very sorry. There is no such plan in our project." Logino said.
"This plan is good." Andre said: "However, this plan must be carried out in secret, and it does not require too many people to participate, just find a new person who has just joined the job, and make the plan in detail, Then send it to Marshal Ogarkov."
To Marshal Ogarkov? Also need a new person who just joined the job to make plans? Loginuo was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what medicine Andre put in this gourd.
"Attention, it must be kept secret." Andre continued to exhort: "This, you know."
know? What do you know? Although Logino still doesn't understand it, he also knows that this matter has just passed, and there can be no new progress in a short period of time.
"The plan has been said so much, is there a ready-made one?" Andre asked, looking at the slides, his mind was dizzy.
"Yes, we are currently in the process of trial production of the prototype. The first test machine of the 11 model for ground tests has been completed and is currently undergoing equipment installation." Logino said: "We plan to build five of the same The test machine, test our technology, wait until the technology is completed, and then build a formal space shuttle that can fly, if it goes well, the first Blizzard space shuttle should be built in 1985."
In later generations, the number of Blizzards was far more than one, some were taken to museums, some were crushed by warehouses, in fact, these included those test machines.
"Okay, then let's go and see the testing machine." Andrei said.
"Our Blizzard is designed to be used more than 100 times and be able to put a 30-ton payload into a 200-kilometer-high, 7-degree Earth orbit with a standard crew of 4, including a pilot and a co-pilot, and another 2 astronauts engaged in extravehicular activities and other fields of research. Compared with the American space shuttle, our number of people is smaller, but our Soyuz experience shows that a group of three can accomplish a lot of tasks~www .novelhall.com~ Four people are enough, no more is necessary, and, with fewer members, we have more transport loads." Logino said while looking at the test machine being assembled.
"By the way, are our lifesaving equipment fully equipped?" Andre asked. The American space shuttle, because of the lack of life-saving methods, exploded a few seconds after the Challenger took off, and no one survived.
"We are equipped with the 36 ejection seat produced by the Xingchen Scientific Research Development and Production Enterprise. This is an improved version of the 36. Once an accident occurs during the launch, the astronauts can be ejected." Logino said.
Hearing that, Andre was stunned for a while. He was so awesome. He even used the ejection seat! However, Andre also knows that this star company is an old-fashioned aerospace company. For example, all space suits are developed by this company, and there are also flight suits, ejection seats, aerial refueling equipment, etc. The field is quite extensive, especially the 36 seats, which are resounding all over the world. Several appearances at air shows show the outstanding performance of this seat.
Looking at the busyness of the engineers, Andrei asked enthusiastically to take a photo of him with the space shuttle. To be continued.
