印度距成为全球第二个实现卫星在轨加注的国家更近一步

BENGALURU: When OrbitAid's 25-kg Ayulsat lifts off aboard Isro's PSLV-C62 Monday, the mission's success will bring India a step closer to becoming the second country in the world to demonstrate on-orbit satellite refuelling, a capability so far claimed only by China, reports Chethan Kumar.

Last year, China carried out a similar demonstration, but details remain limited and official disclosures sparse. No other spacefaring nation, including the US, has publicly demonstrated the technology in orbit. However, US firm Astroscale is develo a refuelling technology but is yet to launch.

Ayulsat won't demonstrate a full on-orbit re-fuelling. It is designed as a target satellite to validate fuel transfer in the space environment. Unlike more complex servicing missions involving two spacecraft, OrbitAid's first step focuses on internal refuelling within a single satellite, allowing engineers to study how fluids behave in microgravity under real orbital conditions. OrbitAid founder and CEO Sakthikumar R told TOI the first refuelling is expected to take place within four hours of launch.

班加罗尔：据切坦・库马尔报道，本周一，当轨道援助公司研发的 25 公斤级阿尤尔卫星搭乘印度空间研究组织的极轨卫星运载火箭C62 升空后，若此次任务取得成功，印度将向成为全球第二个演示卫星在轨加注技术的目标再迈一步，目前该技术仅有中国成功实现。

去年，中国也曾开展过同类技术演示，但相关细节披露有限、官方公开信息寥寥。包括美国在内的其他航天大国，均未在轨道上公开展示过这项技术。不过，美国星宇公司正研发卫星加注技术，尚未完成发射测试。

此次发射的阿尤尔卫星并非开展完整的卫星在轨加注演示，其定位是目标卫星，核心用于验证太空环境下的燃料传输技术。区别于需要两艘航天器配合的复杂在轨服务任务，轨道援助公司的此次首试聚焦于单颗卫星内部的燃料加注，工程师可借此在真实轨道环境中，研究流体在微重力条件下的运动特性。轨道援助公司创始人兼首席执行官萨克蒂库马尔・埃尔向《印度时报》透露，首次燃料加注操作预计将在卫星发射后 4 小时内开展。

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

What's the rationale behind India's space pursuits from a cost-benefit perspective, in the context of long-standing, unresolved fundamental problems and priorities like health, education, sanitation, equality, food, poverty, infrastructure, etc?

印度还有很多长期没解决的核心民生问题，医疗、教育、卫生、平等、粮食、贫困、基建，这些都是首要要解决的事。从成本和收益的角度来说，印度大力搞航天，到底有什么道理？

Mera Bharat
India must invest in satellites big time so that people are busy on mobile internet so that even if Trump puts his fingers inside Modis they are just entertained by it.

印度就得砸大钱搞卫星，让老百姓都忙着玩移动网络。这样就算特朗普找莫迪的麻烦，大家也只当看热闹就行。

印度靠卫星发射和其他航天服务赚的钱，都用在优化气象预报、研究水土状况改良灌溉上，还能支撑一大堆民生服务

The above comment will not go through his thick skull. The question to this idiot should be “were you born stupid or brought up stupid” I personally think both.

这人榆木脑袋，根本听不进去上面的话。对这个蠢货就该问一句：你是天生傻，还是后天教傻的？我看两样都是。

This should help prolong the life of s satellite so that we continue to benefit from its deployment. Exciting endeavour from ISRO. Best wishes.

这项技术能延长卫星的使用寿命，我们就能一直享受卫星带来的便利。印度空间研究组织这次干得漂亮，太让人期待了，送上祝福。

have you seen medical system in us or uk....what is wrong in develo in all fields at the same time...you r most probably western stooge with sick mentality

你见过美国和英国的医疗体系吗？各个领域同时发展，有什么问题？你多半就是西方的走狗，心理扭曲。

Parmesh Kumar
So ISRO is moving fuel from one tank on a satellite on to another tank on the same satellite.
This is good but how’s that even close to launching a second fuel tanker satellite, that travels and joins an exsting satellite without fuel, transfers fuel to the latter and then detaches itself.

这么说印度空间研究组织，就是把卫星里一个油箱的燃料，抽到另一个油箱里。

这事儿本身还行，但这跟发射专用燃料补给卫星差远了。补给卫星要飞到无燃料的在轨卫星旁对接，输完燃料再脱离，这根本不是一回事。

Ivan Wolf
That's what refuel in space should be, and that's what China did. However, India cannot do REAL docking in space, so it CHEATs and try to fool common Indians by boasts/brags.

这才是真正的太空加注，中国就是这么做的。但印度根本做不了真正的太空对接，所以就耍手段作弊，靠吹牛糊弄印度老百姓。

Ivan Wolf
A 25-kg toy satellite 'refuel' itself internally???? Another great Indian innovation or cheat joke? Why India brag about such a gimmick????

一颗25公斤的玩具卫星，在自己内部倒腾燃料也算加注？这是印度又一个“伟大发明”，还是骗人的笑话？印度凭什么为这种小把戏吹牛？

Bangalore Satish
Madrassah chaap on Lahoori chooran cannot understand space and it’s exploration.
Stick to the manual that promises jannat for the ones who blow themselves.

满脑子极端思想的人，根本懂不了航天和太空探索。

还是守着你们那套歪理吧，就信那些自爆能上天堂的鬼话。

Richa Richa
Toi does not like this as the best information to share, that is the reason this is not in Top three. What an achievement, good going ISRO.

《印度时报》压根没把这当成重磅新闻来推，难怪这消息没进前三。这可是大成就啊，印度空间研究组织干得漂亮！

Ivan Wolf
What achievement???? Achieved what???? Good going ISRO??? What a JOKE!

什么成就？到底做成了什么？还干得漂亮？简直是天大的笑话！

No BS
Whatever we do, we are told Chinese have already done it ! Who is Vishwaguru?

我们不管做什么，都有人说中国早就做过了！那所谓的“世界导师”到底是谁？

We should now pioneer in cleaning up space debris

我们现在应该带头清理太空垃圾。

Great achievement. Free leaders will undermine every great Aatmnirbhar initiative and always complain to give them Free ration, Free medical services.

这是了不起的成就。那些只会喊免费的政客，总想着破坏印度自力更生的重大举措，成天就知道嚷嚷要免费口粮、免费医疗。

Give a few hours to the traitor Rahul, Hindu leftists. I’m sure they’ll find something wrong this advancement like any other progress.

给叛徒拉胡尔和印度左翼分子几个小时时间，他们肯定会像挑其他进步成果的刺一样，从这项技术里找出毛病。

Ivan Wolf
China docked two satellites, each weigh 4 tonnes, in GeoSync orbit 22,000 MILES above Earth to demonstrate fuel transfer. India cannot dock real satellites as its claims of 'docked' 2 tiny toys was FAKED, so it can only try internal 'refuel" of another tiny toy to itself. What a joke!

中国把两颗各重4吨的卫星，在距离地球22000英里的地球同步轨道完成对接，演示了燃料传输。印度根本做不了真正的卫星对接，之前宣称的对接两颗小玩具卫星都是造假，现在只能在另一颗小玩具卫星内部倒腾燃料。简直是笑话！

先生，能不能研发一款印度专属的“吠陀自主人工智能”？用来调节人类的情绪，让印度乃至全世界的人从自私变得无私，收获精神上的幸福。就像通过生产和供应链管理，收获物质上的幸福一样。如果可以的话，恳请给人工智能从业者一些建议，我很愿意参与这个项目，尽快实现世界和平，让人类和自然都能可持续发展。

Satellite technology evolves very rapidly, and continuing to rely on outdated systems by refueling will hold India back compared to developed countries.

卫星技术更新换代特别快，靠加注燃料继续用老旧的卫星系统，会让印度被发达国家甩在后面。

the point is to develop as many technologies as you can.A parent does not wait for the first child to complete his education before sending the next chid to school.They all start as soon as they can.

关键是要尽可能多的研发技术。父母不会等第一个孩子读完书，再送第二个孩子上学。能早开始，就都早开始。

这两件事根本八竿子打不着。你怕是索罗斯的顾问吧。

Trump will strike it down as its using Russian blood oil.

特朗普会叫停这个项目的，因为它用的是俄罗斯的血油。
