With the development of our country in the field of aerospace, we have now completed the self-research and manufacturing of manned spacecraft. At this time, some netizens are curious, how much does it cost to build a spaceship?
According to relevant information, the cost of building a manned spacecraft has reached 850 million, and the cost of a cargo spacecraft has also reached 350 million. After seeing the data, many netizens said that this is too expensive.
As you can see, a netizen disclosed the cost information of the spacecraft. The cost of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft reached 850 million, and the cost of the Tianzhou cargo ship also reached 350 million. After seeing this data, many netizens also said that the country is really willing to spend money. Another thing to note is that during the construction of the space station , we also need to launch the spacecraft multiple times. In addition, in daily operation and maintenance, we The spacecraft needs to be launched multiple times every year. Added up, the cost is really sky-high.
Of course, at this time, some netizens said that the official did not release specific data. Can what he said be believed? The answer is believable, because there is a paper on the space station on the relevant website, and the paper also shows that the cost of the manned spacecraft is 850 million yuan.
So the question is, a spaceship costs 850 million, is it worth it? How much does it cost to build other people's spaceships?
First of all, it must be valuable, and the purpose of our research and development of spacecraft is also to explore the mysteries of the universe. At the same time, we are also to build a technological power. Although the cost of a spacecraft is as high as hundreds of millions, if we can explore what we want in the universe Information, then the cost of hundreds of millions is worth our consumption.
At the same time, the spacecraft we spent hundreds of millions to build is also very safe, and the materials used are definitely the best.
How much does the alliance number cost? We definitely cannot know the specific data of
, but we can calculate it based on some things. I believe everyone knows that due to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia some time ago, this also resulted in the American astronaut Mark Van der Hey being left on the space station.
At that time, everyone believed that Russia might not bring old American astronauts back to Earth. But what was unexpected was that despite the unfriendly behavior of the United States towards Russia, Russia finally decided to bring the old American astronauts back to Earth. The conditions for bringing it back are that you have to pay the boat ticket.
The price of this ticket is as high as 2 billion rubles (about 30 million U.S. dollars). Taking into account the data that the Soyuz can only carry three people, the cost of the spacecraft has reached 104 million U.S. dollars.
Obviously, the Russian Aerospace Company's quotation is only a commercial price, but other people's commercial prices are lower than our shipbuilding costs. Does this also mean that our shipbuilding costs are really too high?
Actually, after we calculated the return cost, we forgot to include the cost of the flight. If we say that we will spend X2 on the round-trip ticket, then the cost of a Soyuz round trip is about US$200 million. In addition, after removing Looking at the related profits, the cost of the Soyuz is also controlled at around US$150 million.
Through comparison, we can know that in fact, the cost of shipbuilding in various countries is basically the same, and my country's Shenzhou spacecraft is not that high compared to the Soyuz.
In addition, as a country founded by diligence and thrift, scientists in China will definitely control the cost of the spacecraft just right. At the same time, while controlling the cost, the materials used in shipbuilding must also be the best. Therefore, the spaceship we built I really can’t say it’s too expensive.
