Research on Maritime Transport Technology for Large Spacecraft

Abstract

With the increasing dimension of spacecraft and the use of Wenchang launching site in Hainan province, maritime transportation for spacecraft has become a major form of transportation right after road transportation, railway transportation and air transportation. In this paper, the forms of transportation and the characteristics of maritime transportation for spacecraft are introduced, and maritime research of some typical domestic and international aerospace products is investigated. Finally, based on the maritime implementation experience of a certain type of spacecraft, the maritime technology for large spacecraft is summarized, providing a reference for the maritime transportation for spacecrafts in the future.
