Skyscanner walks through the celestial pole: small satellites have large energy and the picture effect is comparable to that of a large satellite

At 11:21 on November 9, 2011, China used the "Long March 4B" carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the "Remote Sensing Satellite 12" into space. At the same time, the "Skyscan 1" satellite was successfully launched on board. Upon seeing this news, the author became very curious about the "Skyscanner No. 1" because I felt that it was not an ordinary person.

Skyscanner, the name sounds unusual! Literally understood, the so-called Skyscanner is patrolling in the sky, so does our Skyscanner-1 mean that it is a satellite patrolling in the sky? In other words, is it our space "urban management" (not demeaning here) that can clean up hostile satellites that are dishonest and help deal with problems with our spacecraft, then Skyscan 1 with these functions means its It can change track in real time, can not take the ordinary track, and can patrol wherever you want. Although it is a guess, with the perfect docking of our Shenba and Tiangong-1, our spacecraft's orbit change technology is extremely superb. We have reasons to describe our Tianxun-1 in this way.

We know that according to physical knowledge, an object moving around the earth has a certain orbit at a certain speed. That is to say, when the speed of the object does not change, its orbit will not change relative to the earth. When the speed changes, the orbit also changes. However, how to precisely control the speed change to achieve the desired state of operation is not easy. For example, when an object is in contact with another Do a circular motion around the earth in the same orbit, one in the front and the other in the back (relatively speaking), how can the latter catch up with the former? Some people may say to increase the speed of the latter, but is this feasible? Obviously not. As I said above, when the speed of an object changes, its orbit will change. Therefore, in this example, when the speed of the latter changes (for example, it increases), its orbit will not change. It is the same as the former, but on a higher orbit, and the speed is reduced accordingly, so the latter cannot catch up with the former on the same orbit, but how is the aerial docking done? In fact, this is the case, that is, the engines in all directions are arranged on the aircraft, and the engines in all directions are ignited and started according to certain mechanical rules, making it a kinetic energy aircraft, that is, it can fly in any direction, but it can There are very few countries that have achieved these technologies. We are considered to have entered this few clubs.

As the above analysis, Tianxun-1 may be to verify the flexibility of our spacecraft to change orbit. It is not a bit clumsy like the docking of Tiangong-1 and Shenba, so if the experiment is successful, it will protect my spacecraft. The attack on hostile spacecraft’s unfriendly actions is of great significance. Once another spacecraft attacks our spacecraft, Skyscanner-1 will quickly intercept and destroy the incoming enemy. If the hostile satellite is not friendly to our territory For investigation, our Tianxun-1 can also carry out "administrative law enforcement." In addition, if one of my spacecraft fails, Skyscanner-1 will also go to the defective satellite to repair it as soon as possible. Finally, Tianxun-1 can maneuver to other problematic satellite orbits to serve as its work. For example, if the relay satellite fails, it can allow Tianxun-1 to quickly enter its orbit and play the role of a relay satellite. Of course, it has strong communications. Features.

In general, Skyscanner 1, as its literal meaning, has already told us its ability to move freely, and thus can be given many special functions. Maybe, Don’t be surprised to see that our satellite dances in space to solve many space problems for us in the future!
