China is the launch of a manned spacecraft Shenzhou 16, then many friends said, China's space industry is also the development of more and more striking, then in China in fact a **** there are four major space launch bases, then the four collective. Subgroups of the environment is not quite the same, many friends said, then the choice of space launch sites for the environment has what kind of requirements? Scientists are how to determine the location, today we will give you a detailed chat about what are the characteristics of our country's current space site selection.
For the selection of space launch sites, safety is certainly the first important consideration, because if the spacecraft in the process of flying, will produce all kinds of debris material, will affect the safety of the surrounding. In particular, substances with possibly high temperatures may cause nearby vegetation to burn and damage the environment. Therefore, when determining the location of the launch site, it is necessary to consider the environmental problems of the neighborhood and the absence of residents. That's why we can see that most of the launch sites are considered to be near deserts or Gobi beaches, which are sparsely populated sites.
Secondly, the location of the space launch site should also take into account the location of the transportation, because for aerospace, to ensure that the ability to fly out of the earth to reach outer space, the speed of the spacecraft must be guaranteed. At this time, when we choose the site, we have to choose the area of high latitude, so that we can save fuel and thus be able to overcome gravity. A good location can then help the spacecraft to be able to escape gravity and fly into outer space in a simpler way.
Finally, the location of space development should also take into account the constraints of transportation conditions, because for an aerospace spacecraft, they are often assembled from various parts of the splicing combination of these devices are often required by the production departments around the world to carry out a coordinated completion, it is not possible to say that it is in the space base in the manufacturing. So in order to facilitate transportation, often choose to be close to the more developed areas of transportation, thus reducing the consumption in transportation, so that all kinds of rocket launchers can be faster to realize the assembly.
