Chapter 485 The Most Expensive Fireworks

The International Space Station did not escape its fate, and was smoothly smashed into pieces according to the "US plan".

This also saves the United States from investing money here all day long, and beeps with several other countries about who pays how much money, and also saves the trouble of how to destroy it safely in five years.

Although the space station was scrapped ahead of time without telling other countries, the three countries are responsible for this matter, and the US country is not at all cowardly.

Of course, this was their previous plan, and it was just their side plan.

But now the attached plan is completed, and it is perfect, the main plan is not completed at all!

Although the United States has launched the most satellites in space, they were launched very early, and many of them have already passed their useful life.

It is planned to throw away some satellites that have reached their end of life or are scrapped, and even some less important commercial satellites to deceive others, and then transfer their important satellites before the danger comes.

This not only hits the strength of other countries, but also retains or even improves its own strength.

But all of this was destroyed after Arclight Aerospace announced the operation data of the debris cloud, and the satellites of other countries did not suffer any major losses, and they all ran away ahead of schedule.

In the end, there were only a dozen normal satellites lost, which had little impact on the daily activities of countries on earth. Those that should be navigating are still navigating, and those that should provide communication services are still providing communication services, etc.

Instead, I scanned some of the scrapped satellites accumulated many years ago.

Back then, the technology of the launch vehicle was not very good, the height of the satellites was generally not high, and the orbit could not be maintained after being scrapped, and the orbit was slowly lowered under the deceleration of the extremely thin atmosphere, so a large number of scrapped satellites were concentrated here.

Originally, this circle was regarded as a garbage belt, a test for aerospace equipment to pass, but anyway, there is still a large gap between them, and they are large in size, easy to track, as long as the window time is calculated, they can be launched come up.

This time, the large pieces of garbage were cleaned up, but more uniform small fragments were formed. Although there were gaps, it would not be easy to launch a manned rocket into space again.

It doesn't take a large fragment to destroy a spacecraft, but smaller fragments are extremely difficult to monitor, and this is where the trouble lies.

Bretta stared blankly at the signal of the disappearing International Space Station, and then looked at the Tiangong Space Station, which was basically fine in the live broadcast, and his cold sweat kept breaking out.

Victor next to him was about to say something, but at this moment a staff member came and said, "Deputy Chief Victor, the evacuated astronauts have landed smoothly, although the landing site deviates from the scheduled location, the damaged space was damaged during landing." got a parachute, but they're all fine."

"Okay, I see, I'll go right away," Victor nodded to the man.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Bretta again, "Although my level is not high enough, I don't know your detailed plan, but no matter how you look at it, your plan has not succeeded, so you should think about how to explain it."

Hearing Victor's words, Bretta looked up and watched him walk to the podium and start issuing orders, and then looked down at the content of the live broadcast.

He took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and whispered, "My plan is correct. If it succeeds, I will have everything. Just like you don't know that there is a problem with Ah San's materials, I don't know that their materials have problems." problem, so this matter, I can’t find it on me.”

After wiping off his sweat, he tidied up his clothes, watched the live broadcast of the Tiangong Space Station for the last time, took his bag and left.

Although he is not to blame this time, it is the fault of information collection, but it is still a big difficulty for the Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Not only has the International Space Station, which still has a lifespan of five years, been taken down, leaving the United States with nowhere to do experiments, but the most important thing is that there is nothing wrong with the Tiangong Space Station, which can be transformed into a space battleship at any time.

Don't say anything about maintaining the absolute advantage of the United States in the future, it is good if you can not be left behind by others.

If you don't go back and study how to explain to Congress and the president, even if it won't work.

This crisis is temporarily over for the country, because only a few countries or companies have satellites that have been destroyed, but the overall impact is not great, and now the orbit is raised, and the debris is also going down, so It's safe for now.

But what to do in the future still needs to be carefully studied. Although there are external forces causing the debris to go downward this time, it is already much better than those debris that are naturally decelerated by the sparse atmosphere and take hundreds or thousands to fall.

But apart from those fragments that are about to fall and burn, it will take decades for other fragments to fall.

Not to mention the dangerous situation this time, people on earth are blessed. During this period of time, we often see traces of space junk debris falling into the atmosphere burning across the sky.

Especially today, the first batch of falling debris is the most spectacular. It is the debris of the International Space Station. Some cabins did not even crash, and the whole fell to the earth.

Some people took pictures of that scene with various equipment, especially the scene of the cabin exploding in the air is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

However, there are also people who feel sad. This seems to be the end of an era.

"Tsk tsk, this contrast is a bit too dramatic, let me take it easy, and then I realized that the outer shell of the Xintiangong space station is made of such fierce materials, how much does it cost?"

"That's right, it was also hit by a cloud of debris. The Xintiangong Space Station broke a few solar panels, and the International Space Station crashed directly."

"Don't worry, aren't the countries that cooperate with the International Space Station arguing over maintenance costs? There's no need to quarrel this time."

"Have you read the news? A man in Xiba State's backyard was smashed by unburned debris from the space station. He sued the space agencies of the United States, Maoxiong State, and other countries, and demanded compensation."

"Is it so slippery? Looking forward to the progress."

"Shouldn't we be concerned about space junk now? We've been locked down on Earth, and the news says that nothing will fly out of Earth for decades."

"That's right, aren't those private companies' "Mars Immigration Project", "Space Tourism Project" and "Inflatable Space Station Project" all going to waste? Aren't shareholders going to lose money?"

"It's a blood loss. Their stocks I bought have been falling..."

"What about the space workers of Arclight Aerospace? There are also reporters on it. The supplies inside them won't be enough for decades. Can the aerospace plane take off to deliver supplies? Will it be damaged?"

"I don't know, just wait and see the news, Arc Light Aerospace will definitely find a solution."

It's not just that Arclight Aerospace needs to find a solution. Space agencies and aerospace companies all over the world are looking for solutions. Space agencies have national missions, and private companies rely on this to make a living, so even if they want to break their heads, they must find a way.

But there is one problem that needs to be solved first, and that is the "culprit" Ah Sanguo this time.

If it wasn't for the sudden loss of control of the satellite they launched, how could it have caused such a big consequence.

The issue of space junk must be resolved in the shortest possible time, or it will be delayed for decades. According to the current development speed of human beings, the earth is definitely not enough.
