China Space Ocean Survey Ship is a ribbon tied to a satellite. Only when the survey ship plays a role can the satellite complete its task accurately in the vast space. Wangyuan VI is the youngest and most advanced space survey ship in China. It was delivered in 2008, and it can perform tasks in any sea area within 60 degrees north and south latitude.
The room where the crew lives is similar to that of a star-rated hotel, which is usually a standard room with two beds and a single room with a big bed. Each room in the cabin has a separate toilet, and the toilet is also a vacuum toilet, which only consumes about half a liter of water at a time, greatly reducing the amount of fresh water when going out to sea. Because the new ship's water-making equipment is very powerful, it can guarantee 24-hour hot water supply every day and meet the crew's shower needs at any time. Each room is equipped with a closed-circuit television system, which can order thousands of movies and TV plays and watch more than three satellite channels.
There is also a swimming pool in the center of the deck of the ship, which uses special seawater pump equipment to introduce and discharge seawater. After intense work, the crew can blow the warm and humid sea breeze, enjoy the invincible sea view and have a swim in the blue and refreshing sea water, which greatly relieves physical fatigue and psychological pressure. There is not only a gym with a total area of 100 square meter, but also a basketball court and badminton court. In addition, there is a multifunctional club hidden in the middle of the ship, which can accommodate more than 150 people at the same time and is equipped with a series of advanced audio-visual equipment. You can hold a small party or turn it into a "sea cinema". Moreover, some basic facilities such as electronic reading room and computer room are available.
In terms of catering, "Roy 6" is not inferior to cruise ships at all. There are four restaurants and a buffet on board. In addition, considering the particularity of sailing life, Wangyuan No.6 implemented a five-meal system. In addition to the normal breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, two dinners are arranged every night 1 1: 30 and at 3: 30 the next morning, so that all the crew on board can eat them. Wangyuan No.6 also has an advanced cold storage, which can store up to 95 tons of various materials, enough for the crew to eat for three months.
The ship's electricity can supply 300,000 people.
The staff of Roy No.6 Middle School said that the electricity it has can be used for the lighting of a city with a population of 300,000. All kinds of pipes on board are vertical and horizontal, which is more than 40 kilometers long. The stored oil and water can be used for 400 people to live and sail on the ship for a long time. Wang Yuanren lived in such a "city" and made contributions to the aerospace industry when he went out to sea to carry out aerospace measurement and control tasks.
Cab, equipped with advanced comprehensive bridge-building system, with automatic navigation and real-time monitoring functions, can realize unmanned driving. In addition, there are multi-functional satellite cloud image receiving and processing equipment, GPS high-altitude meteorological detection equipment, remote meteorological network and other advanced equipment, which can accurately measure meteorological and hydrological data such as sea pressure, temperature and humidity. It can effectively provide meteorological forecast and analysis of the scheduled sea area, and provide decision-making basis for the survey ship to avoid bad sea conditions in time.
It is composed of general warship platform and TT&C equipment in space, and is divided into four systems: warship, TT&C, communication and meteorology. The full-load displacement is 25,000 tons, and the wind resistance can reach more than 12. It can sail in any sea area within 60 degrees north and south latitude.
The ship is equipped with S-band unified measurement and control system, C-band unified measurement and control system, C-band pulse radar and other large-scale measurement and control equipment, which can complete the tracking and control tasks of rockets, satellites, spacecraft and other spacecraft at sea, and can communicate and exchange data with the mission center in real time.
From 1977 to 1998, China has built four space ocean-going survey ships. By September 2007, they had sailed the ocean 54 times, with a total voyage exceeding1300,000 nautical miles, equivalent to 60 circles around the earth, and accumulated more than 7,000 days of offshore operation. They successfully completed the launch test of domestic and international application satellites and the launch test of shenzhou spaceship.
Compared with the original four ships, Wangyuan No.6 is more advanced and beautiful in design, more reasonable in equipment configuration, and obviously improved in digitalization, standardization, serialization and generalization. Using optical fiber to build a high-speed transmission platform of comprehensive information on board. Major systems can use this platform to expand their business functions, and the functions are more complete, which greatly improves the comfort of the crew's long-term ocean life.
On September 29th, 2007, China Satellite Maritime Monitoring and Control Department officially delivered "Wangyuan No.6" and "Wangyuan No.5" at Jiangnan Shipyard to form a new generation of "sister ships" of China Aerospace Ocean Survey Fleet, which will greatly improve the ability to cope with future high-intensity space flight test tasks and play a greater role in promoting the sound and rapid development of China's space industry. Roy survey fleet has successively conquered a series of key technologies, such as ship swing stability, electromagnetic compatibility, maritime calibration, spacecraft orbit determination and improvement, and spacecraft maritime control, and successfully achieved a series of major leaps in maritime measurement and control. The comprehensive offshore test capability has developed from one mission in the past two or three years to one mission per year 10; The sea area where the mission is carried out extends from the Pacific Ocean to the three oceans; The ability to perform tasks has developed from the initial single measurement to the current measurable and controllable.
China's latest space survey ship Roy 5 and its sister ship Roy 6 will replace Roy 1 and Roy 2 to maintain the scale of the survey fleet in Roy, China.
