<p><b>Xihe</b> (designation <b>XH-01</b>) is the lead ship of the Xihe-class interplanetary exploration mothership and the first large crewed interplanetary mothership to enter service in human history. Named after Xihe, the solar deity in Chinese mythology, the vessel was assembled segment-by-segment in low Earth orbit by Vulture Shuttles between 2050 and 2052, formally entering service in December 2052. As of March 2060, Xihe is in the Jovian system executing Europa Expedition 3, having completed two Mars base construction missions, one Mars expedition, two Europa expeditions, and one deep-space test mission over eight years of service, with a total operational range spanning Earth orbit, the Mars system, and the Jovian system.</p>
|
||||
<p>The construction and operation of Xihe pioneered an entirely new paradigm for deep-space motherships. It demonstrated that assembling a large crewed deep-space platform in low Earth orbit and using it to execute interplanetary missions was both technically and operationally viable. Its operational experience directly led to the construction of subsequent Xihe-class sister ships (XH-02 Taibai, XH-03 Changxi) and provided critical data for the design of the second-generation Stellaria-class mothership. As the class leader, Xihe achieved a string of historic firsts — the first crewed Mars construction mission, the first interplanetary crew handover, and the first outer Solar System expedition — each a milestone in the history of crewed deep-space exploration.</p>

<h2 id="design-overview">Design overview</h2>
|
||||
<p>As the lead ship of the Xihe class, Xihe adopts the class's signature long axial-spine multi-module cylindrical configuration. The vessel measures 83.4 m in overall length with a maximum diameter of 25 m at the artificial-gravity habitation ring, and is composed of nine major modules arranged sequentially along the central axis: forward docking hub, command center, artificial-gravity habitation ring, static habitation module, central docking hub, greenhouse module, main storage module, truss section, and propulsion module. Standardized mechanical, electrical, fluid, and data interfaces between modules enable in-orbit maintenance and localized replacement.</p>
|
||||
<p>Propulsion is provided by the Perseverance mass-driver propulsion system, powered by an Ark cold-fusion reactor with approximately 8 TW output class, delivering a full-load delta-v of about 1700 km/s (with a 300 t payload). Standard mode produces 2400 kN of thrust at 500,000 s specific impulse; high-thrust mode reaches 3800 kN at 250,000 s specific impulse. Xihe is not capable of atmospheric re-entry or planetary landing — surface access is handled by two carried Echo shuttles (or compatible ferry craft). The ship accommodates a long-duration crew of 15 (up to 30 short-duration) with an artificial-gravity habitation ring producing approximately 0.41 g at roughly 4 RPM and a greenhouse module providing food supplementation and atmospheric regeneration via closed hydroponics.

<figure class="thumb tright"><div class="image-placeholder">Xihe LEO assembly process image placeholder</div><figcaption class="thumbcaption">Xihe underwent a 693-day assembly campaign in low Earth orbit, with the Vulture Shuttle Block 1 fleet handling all heavy module transport.</figcaption></figure>
|
||||
<p>The construction of Xihe marked the first time in human spaceflight history that a hundred-tonne-class crewed deep-space platform was assembled in low Earth orbit. Construction officially began on 2050-03-15, when a Vulture Shuttle delivered the first module — the forward docking hub — to LEO and released it at the designated assembly position. This was among the largest segment-transport missions executed by Vulture Shuttles at the time and signaled the dawn of the orbital mothership construction era.</p>
|
||||
<p>Over the following 693 days, Xihe's assembly proceeded at a near-continuous tempo. The Vulture Shuttle Block 1 fleet handled all heavy-module transport, with 2050-2051 representing the fleet's peak operational year. Nine major modules were delivered and mated in the following sequence: forward docking hub (2050-03-15), command center (May 2050), static habitation module (July 2050), central docking hub (September 2050), main storage module (December 2050), greenhouse module (March 2051), truss section (July 2051), propulsion module (November 2051), and artificial-gravity habitation ring (December 2051). The habitation ring, with its 25 m diameter exceeding Vulture Shuttle cargo-bay capacity, was launched separately by a super-heavy launch vehicle and positioned by orbital tugs.</p>
|
||||
<p>Primary assembly was completed on 2052-02-06, followed by the outfitting phase (2052-02-07 to 2052-05-31, 114 days). Outfitting encompassed ship-wide power bus redundant connections, cross-module life-support plumbing integration, rotating ring dynamic balance fine-tuning, docking-interface hydraulic pressure testing, greenhouse hydroponic system pre-installation, and reactor low-power startup commissioning. A substantial portion of verification work that could not be performed on Earth was transferred to orbit, including pressurized compartment isolation tests, towing-interface limit-load trials, and long-duration attitude-control hold verification. From first module arrival to completion of outfitting, total construction spanned nearly two years.</p>

<h2 id="testing-and-commissioning">Testing and commissioning</h2>
|
||||
<p>Xihe's commissioning phase ran from 2052-06-01 to 2052-11-30, a total of 182 days, conducted in three progressively demanding stages.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Phase 1 (June-July 2052): Earth orbit systems check.</b> A comprehensive item-by-item verification of all ship systems in LEO, including the Ark reactor full-power run, Perseverance propulsion static fire, artificial-gravity habitation ring continuous 72-hour rotation test, closed-loop life-support system full-crew simulated operation, communications antenna omnidirectional scan calibration, and thermal-control radiator deployment and retraction testing. All critical systems met acceptance criteria.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Phase 2 (August-September 2052): GEO transfer and station-keeping.</b> Xihe fired its main propulsion system for the first time, transferring from LEO to geostationary orbit (GEO). Four weeks of station-keeping tests at GEO validated propulsion response precision under continuous fine-adjustment mode, deep-space communications link stability at GEO distance, and the reliability of the onboard computer in long-distance autonomous navigation.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Phase 3 (October-November 2052): Lunar orbit round-trip.</b> Xihe departed GEO, executed an Earth-Moon transfer, and entered lunar orbit. After three weeks of orbit-keeping and sensor calibration in lunar orbit, the vessel returned to Earth. This was the first time a Xihe-class mothership performed an orbital maneuver beyond the Earth-Moon system boundary and the first validation of navigation and attitude-control adaptability in the lunar gravitational environment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Following commissioning, Xihe returned to LEO, where the engineering team applied targeted optimizations to propulsion redundancy loops, communications antenna pointing mechanisms, and life-support recirculation circuits based on commissioning data. The successful completion of commissioning certified all of Xihe's systems to deep-space-grade standards and its crew as qualified for deep-space operations. Xihe then entered a pre-maiden-mission maintenance window (2052-12-01 to 2053-01-05) for final preparations ahead of the Deep Space Test Mission.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="service-and-operational-history">Service and operational history</h2>
|
||||
<p>Since formally entering service in December 2052, Xihe has executed eight major missions, evolving from a near-Earth test platform into a front-line outer Solar System expedition vessel. The following details each mission phase in chronological order.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="deep-space-test-mission_2053">Deep Space Test Mission (2053-01-12 to 2053-12-18)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2053-01-12, Xihe departed LEO in an uncrewed configuration bound for the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, executing a 340-day deep-space test mission. This was the first Xihe-class mothership operation beyond the Earth-Moon system and the longest uncrewed autonomous deep-space flight in the Chinese space program at that time.</p>
|
||||
<p>During the mission, Xihe validated several systems critical to subsequent crewed operations: long-duration autonomous navigation and station-keeping reliability without real-time ground intervention, deep-space communications stability at the Sun-Earth L2 distance (approximately 1.5 million km), radiation shielding effectiveness in the actual deep-space environment, and extended uncrewed operation of the closed-loop life-support system. The flight computer independently executed all orbital maneuvers and system scheduling across the full 340 days without a single anomaly requiring ground intervention.</p>
|
||||
<p>On 2053-12-18, Xihe completed the mission and returned to LEO. Based on telemetry analysis, the engineering team applied targeted upgrades to propulsion redundancy, communications antenna pointing mechanisms, and life-support recirculation loops. The success of the Deep Space Test Mission formally transitioned Xihe from an orbital test platform to a mission-capable deep-space asset, clearing the final critical hurdle for crewed Mars missions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="mars-mission-demonstration_20542055">Mars Mission Demonstration (2054-07-10 to 2055-02-28)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2054-07-10, Xihe departed LEO uncrewed for its first Mars demonstration mission, injecting at 102 km/s. After 42 days of interplanetary cruise, it arrived at Mars orbit on 2054-08-21. The mission's core objective was to validate the mothership's deep-space delivery capability and Mars orbital operations in the actual Martian orbital environment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Upon arrival, Xihe successfully delivered the first Mars One Base equipment package, containing habitation module components, solar array support structures, and initial life-support hardware. The mission also validated Xihe-class Mars orbit insertion precision and long-duration orbital station-keeping for the first time. The surface operations phase ran from 2054-08-21 to 2055-01-10 — 142 days — with the mothership remaining in high Mars orbit, monitoring equipment deployment and self-check status via telemetry relay.</p>
|
||||
<p>On 2055-01-10, Xihe departed Mars orbit with a 97 km/s injection, reaching Earth on 2055-02-28. This mission definitively proved that the Xihe class could operate reliably at Mars distance and deliver heavy payloads to the Martian surface, clearing the final critical hurdle for crewed Mars missions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="mars-one-base-construction-1_20552056">Mars One Base Construction Mission 1 (2055-06-15 to 2056-03-18)</h3>
|
||||
<figure class="thumb tright"><div class="image-placeholder">Xihe Mars mission artist's impression placeholder</div><figcaption class="thumbcaption">Xihe was the first mothership-class platform to carry crew to Mars, remaining on standby in high Mars orbit while Echo shuttles handled crew and cargo surface transfer.</figcaption></figure>
|
||||
<p>On 2055-06-15, Xihe departed LEO carrying the first Mars construction crew, arriving at Mars on 2055-07-30. This was the first crewed Mars mission of the Xihe class and the first time astronauts traveled to another planet aboard a mothership-class platform. The mission's historic significance lay in extending crewed deep-space flight from lunar distances to interplanetary distances for the first time.</p>
|
||||
<p>Surface operations extended from 2055-07-30 to 2056-02-07 — 192 days. During this period, the crew established the core infrastructure of Mars One Base: mating and pressurizing the primary habitation module, activating initial life-support systems, erecting communications antennas, and conducting the first scientific surveys of the Martian surface. Xihe itself remained on standby in high Mars orbit, with two Echo-class shuttles providing crew and cargo surface transfer — establishing the "mothership holds safe orbit, ferry vehicles execute terminal transport" model as the standard protocol for all subsequent mothership missions.</p>
|
||||
<p>For the return leg, Xihe employed the FAST RETURN trajectory for the first time, injecting from Mars orbit into the Earth-Mars transfer with a 207 km/s burn, substantially shortening the return transit. Departing 2056-02-07 and arriving at Earth on 2056-03-18, the return trip took only 39 days. After return, Xihe entered an 87-day maintenance cycle (2056-03-25 to 2056-06-20) for its first comprehensive post-mission inspection of propulsion, docking interfaces, and life-support equipment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="mars-one-base-construction-3_20562057">Mars One Base Construction Mission 3 (2056-07-30 to 2057-03-25)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2056-07-30, Xihe departed again for Mars at 95 km/s injection, arriving on 2056-09-15. The defining moment of this mission came on 2056-09-17, when Xihe's crew met the Stellaria-class ST-01 crew on the Martian surface, completing humanity's first interplanetary crew handover.</p>
|
||||
<p>This historic moment marked the dawn of coordinated multi-mothership operations. With XH-01 and ST-01 simultaneously present in the Mars system, the two vessels completed the first inter-mothership cargo transfer and joint communications relay test. This was humanity's first coordinated two-mothership operation, proving the feasibility of operating two large crewed spacecraft simultaneously around another planet.</p>
|
||||
<p>The surface stay ran from 2056-09-15 to 2057-02-12. During this period, Xihe's crew took over Mars One Base operations while simultaneously extending base infrastructure and conducting a second round of scientific surveys. Return transit began on 2057-02-12, arriving at Earth on 2057-03-25. The dual-mothership coordination experience gained during this mission directly informed planning for later multi-platform Jovian-system operations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="mars-expedition-2_20572058">Mars Expedition 2 (2057-05-05 to 2058-05-20)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2057-05-05, Xihe departed for the now-established Mars One Base, arriving on 2057-06-22. Unlike previous construction-focused missions, this expedition emphasized scientific investigation and base operations while pioneering the inclusion of commercial space tourism.</p>
|
||||
<p>The surface stay lasted 300 days — the longest continuous human presence on the Martian surface recorded to that date. The crew conducted extensive scientific work including Martian geological sampling, atmospheric studies, subsurface ice detection, and long-duration physiological data collection. The expedition also completed a base expansion, adding a dedicated laboratory module and upgraded water-recovery facilities. The 300-day continuous surface habitation dataset provided irreplaceable life-support system validation for subsequent longer-duration Mars and Jovian missions.</p>
|
||||
<p>The mission's most groundbreaking achievement was carrying the first paying passengers to the Martian surface. These passengers participated in science-support work and surface exploration activities during their stay. This accomplishment not only demonstrated the technical and operational viability of deep-space tourism but also showcased the commercial potential of deep-space transportation to the world. The return leg began on 2058-04-18 with a 115 km/s injection departing Mars, arriving at Earth on 2058-05-20.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="europa-expedition-1_20582059">Europa Expedition 1 (2058-07-10 to 2059-11-15)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2058-07-10, Xihe departed LEO with a 160 km/s injection bound for the Jovian system — the first Xihe-class mission beyond Mars orbit and into the outer Solar System. After 77 days of interplanetary cruise, Xihe arrived at Jupiter on 2058-09-25, formally opening the era of crewed outer Solar System exploration.</p>
|
||||
<p>Xihe spent 288 days in the Jovian system, conducting scientific investigations across multiple target bodies:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Europa surface operations</b> (2058-09-25 to 2058-12-15): Focused on subsurface ocean sounding, surface composition analysis, and radiation environment measurement. Deployed probes conducted detailed mapping of Europa's ice fractures and suspected plume regions.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Io volcanic plume sampling</b> (2058-12-20 to 2059-01-20): Deployed probes through Io's volcanic eruption plumes, collecting precious ejecta samples. This was humanity's first in-situ volcanic sampling in Io orbit.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Ganymede exploration</b> (2059-07-05): Completed magnetic-field mapping and surface geological surveys of Ganymede, validating its geological and resource conditions as a potential future outer Solar System resupply waypoint.</li>

<p>On 2059-07-10, Xihe departed the Jovian system for the 128-day return voyage, docking at Star Port Station on 2059-11-15. The irrefutable success of Europa Expedition 1 demonstrated that the Xihe class was capable of executing long-duration, complex scientific missions in the outer Solar System, opening the door to subsequent Jovian expeditions.</p>

<h3 id="greenhouse-upgrade-and-maintenance_20592060">Greenhouse Upgrade and Maintenance (2059-11-16 to 2060-02-19)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2059-11-16, Xihe began a 95-day deep maintenance and upgrade cycle at Star Port Station. After missions spanning from Mars to Jupiter, the mothership required a comprehensive systems overhaul to meet the demands of more intensive, longer-distance deep-space operations.</p>
|
||||
<p>The upgrade's core projects included:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Greenhouse module complete renovation</b>: Hydroponic system upgraded from single-crop cultivation to multi-zone rotational planting, nutrient-loop efficiency improved by approximately 40%, and automated environmental control and disease monitoring systems added, all aimed at supporting longer-duration missions with reduced reliance on resupply.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Radiation protection reinforcement</b>: Additional composite shielding installed around the command center, habitation modules, and medical bay to handle the higher cumulative radiation doses of outer Solar System missions.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Water-recycling system complete overhaul</b>: All membrane filters replaced and purification units upgraded, raising the closed-loop recovery rate above 97%.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Navigation and sensor upgrades</b>: Next-generation deep-space star trackers and inertial measurement units installed; external sensor array and communications antennas underwent full calibration and partial replacement.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Docking system maintenance</b>: All docking-seal assemblies on the forward docking hub replaced; rotating habitation ring bearings replaced and dynamic balance re-calibrated.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>This maintenance cycle restored Xihe's systems to near-new condition, thoroughly preparing the ship for the upcoming Europa Expedition 3.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="europa-expedition-3_2060-ongoing">Europa Expedition 3 (2060-02-20 - ongoing)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On 2060-02-20, the upgraded Xihe departed once more for the Jovian system with a 163 km/s injection burn. This is the Xihe class's third Jovian expedition and the most ambitious outer Solar System crewed mission to date.</p>
|
||||
<p>Xihe is scheduled to arrive at the Jovian system on 2060-05-01. The Europa Expedition 3 mission plan encompasses consecutive exploration of multiple Jovian targets:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>First, an Io surface landing operation — the first crewed landing on Io's surface in human history.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transfer to Ganymede for surface reconnaissance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Arrival at Callisto around 2060-05-25 for scientific observations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Crew rotation at Europa Outpost to sustain continuous outpost operations.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>This multi-target continuous exploration plan takes full advantage of Jovian-system orbital alignment windows, demonstrating the Xihe class's mature scheduling capability for complex multi-body missions. As of March 2060, Xihe is in transit on its Jupiter transfer trajectory, with all systems operating nominally and crew in good condition. Data from this mission will provide critical input for the expansion of Europa Outpost and the planning of second-generation motherships' outer Solar System operations.</p>

<p><b>羲和号</b>（英语：<b>XH-01 Xihe</b>）是羲和级星际探索母舰的首舰，也是人类历史上第一艘投入使用的大型载人星际探索母舰。该舰以中国神话中的太阳女神"羲和"命名，于2050年至2052年间在近地轨道由秃鹫航天飞机分段组装，2052年12月正式服役。截至2060年3月，羲和号正在木星系统执行欧罗巴远征3任务，累计已完成两次火星基地建设任务、一次火星远征任务、两次欧罗巴远征任务和一次深空测试任务，服役八年，总航程覆盖地球轨道、火星系统和木星系统。</p>
|
||||
<p>羲和号的建造和运营开创了深空母舰的全新模式。它证明在近地轨道组装大型载人深空平台，并以此平台执行跨行星任务的路线在技术和运营上完全可行。其运营经验直接促成了后续羲和级姊妹舰（XH-02太白号、XH-03常曦号）的建造，并为第二代万星源级母舰的设计提供了关键数据。作为羲和级的首舰，羲和号承担的多个"首次"——首次载人火星建设、首次行星际乘员交接、首次外太阳系远征——均在载人深空探索史上具有里程碑意义。</p>

<h2 id="设计概述">设计概述</h2>
|
||||
<p>羲和号作为羲和级的首舰，采用了该级舰标志性的纵向脊柱式多段圆柱构型。全舰全长83.4米，最大直径25米（位于人工重力居住环处），由9个主要模块沿中央轴线依次串联而成：前部对接枢纽、指挥中心、人工重力居住模块、静止居住模块、中心对接枢纽、温室模块、主储藏模块、桁架结构和推进模块。各模块之间采用标准化机械、电力、流体和数据接口，便于在轨维护和局部替换。</p>
|
||||
<p>推进系统采用"毅力"质量驱动推进系统，由方舟冷核聚变反应堆（约8 TW输出级别）提供动力，满载速度增量约1700 km/s（含300吨有效载荷）。标准模式下推力2400 kN、比冲500000 s，高推力模式下推力可达3800 kN、比冲250000 s。羲和号不具备大气再入或行星表面着陆能力，地表往返依赖随舰携带的2艘回声级航天飞机（或兼容摆渡载具）。舰上设有可容纳15名长期乘员的生活设施（短期可达30人），人工重力居住环以约4 RPM旋转产生约0.41 g的人工重力，温室模块通过封闭水培系统提供食物补充与大气再生。有关设计细节的完整说明，请参见<a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Xihe">羲和级星际探索母舰</a>主页面。</p>

|
||||
<p>羲和号的建造是人类航天史上首次在近地轨道组装百吨级载人深空平台。建造工作于2050年3月15日正式启动，当天由秃鹫航天飞机将首个模块——前部对接枢纽——运抵近地轨道并释放至预定装配位置。这是当时秃鹫航天飞机执行的最大规模舱段运输任务之一，标志着深空母舰在轨建造时代的开始。</p>
|
||||
<p>在随后的693天里，羲和号的装配以近乎连续的节奏推进。秃鹫航天飞机Block 1机队承担了全部重型模块的运输任务，2050年至2051年是该机队的高峰运转年份。9个主要模块按以下顺序依次运抵并完成对接：前部对接枢纽（2050年3月15日）、指挥中心（2050年5月）、静止居住模块（2050年7月）、中心对接枢纽（2050年9月）、主储藏模块（2050年12月）、温室模块（2051年3月）、桁架结构（2051年7月）、推进模块（2051年11月）、人工重力居住环（2051年12月）。其中人工重力居住环因直径达25米，超出秃鹫航天飞机货舱的装载能力，由超重型运载火箭单独发射入轨后由轨道拖船辅助就位。</p>
|
||||
<p>主体装配于2052年2月6日完成，随后进入舾装阶段（2052年2月7日至5月31日，共计114天）。舾装工作涵盖全舰电力母线冗余接线、跨模块生命保障管路贯通、旋转居住环动平衡精调、对接口液压系统加压测试、温室水培系统预装和反应堆低功率启动调试。大量在地面无法完成的验证工作被转移到轨道完成，包括压力舱段隔离测试、拖曳接口极限载荷试验和姿态控制长时保持验证。从首个模块运抵到舾装完毕，羲和号的总建造周期接近两年。</p>

|
||||
<p>羲和号的试运行阶段从2052年6月1日持续至2052年11月30日，共计182天，分为三个递进阶段进行。</p>
|
||||
<p><b>第一阶段（2052年6月至7月）：近地轨道系统检查。</b>在近地轨道完成全舰系统的逐项验证，包括方舟反应堆全功率运行测试、"毅力"推进系统静态点火、人工重力居住环连续72小时旋转测试、闭合式生命保障系统满员模拟运行、通信天线全向扫描校准和热控系统散热器展开与收拢测试。所有关键系统均通过验收标准。</p>
|
||||
<p><b>第二阶段（2052年8月至9月）：地球同步轨道转移与站位保持。</b>羲和号首次启动主推进系统，从近地轨道转移至地球同步轨道（GEO）。在GEO进行了为期四周的站位保持测试，验证了推进系统在持续微调模式下的响应精度、深空通信链路在GEO距离下的稳定性以及舰载计算机在长距离自主导航中的可靠性。</p>
|
||||
<p><b>第三阶段（2052年10月至11月）：月球轨道往返。</b>羲和号从GEO出发，执行地月转移并进入月球轨道。在月球轨道完成了为期三周的轨道保持和传感器标定，随后返回地球。这是羲和级母舰首次执行地月系统以外的轨道机动，也是首次在月球引力场环境中验证导航和姿态控制系统的适应性。</p>
|
||||
<p>试运行结束后，羲和号返回近地轨道，技术团队根据试运行数据对推进系统冗余回路、通信天线指向机构和生命保障循环回路进行了针对性优化。试运行的成功标志着羲和号所有系统经深空级标准验证，乘员经认证具备深空操作资质。随后羲和号进入首次任务前的维护窗口（2052年12月1日至2053年1月5日），为首次深空测试任务做最后准备。</p>

<p><b>Taibai</b> (designation XH-02) is the second ship of the <a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Xihe">Xihe-class interplanetary exploration mothership</a> and the first Xihe-class vessel assembled at Star Port Station. Named after the ancient Chinese name for the planet Venus—"Taibai"—the name reflects the ship's specialization in inner Solar System and asteroid belt missions. Construction began in December 2054, assembly was completed in October 2056, and the ship was commissioned in April 2057. As of March 2060, Taibai is undergoing post-mission maintenance and preparing for its next assignment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Taibai follows the nine-module axial spine configuration of the Xihe class, integrating the Perseverance mass-driver propulsion system, an Ark cold-fusion reactor, closed-loop life support, an artificial-gravity habitation ring, and reinforced docking hardware. Compared with the lead ship Xihe (XH-01), Taibai incorporated operational lessons from XH-01's early missions, including improvements to the habitation module and upgraded radiation shielding. The ship is not capable of atmospheric re-entry or planetary landing; surface access is provided by carried Echo shuttles.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Taibai's mission record emphasizes inner Solar System operations, covering the Vesta orbital survey and asteroid belt exploration, Mars expedition support, and Mars One Base resupply—validating the Xihe class's multi-ship production and coordination capabilities.</p>

<h2 id="design-overview">Design overview</h2>
|
||||
<p>Taibai is the second Xihe-class ship, using an axial-spine multi-module cylindrical layout with an overall length of 83.4 m, a maximum diameter of 25 m at the artificial-gravity habitation ring, a full-load delta-v of about 1,700 km/s, and a maximum payload of 300 t. Functional zones are arranged along the central axis: forward docking hub, command center, artificial-gravity habitation ring, static habitation module, central docking hub, greenhouse module, main storage module, truss section, and propulsion module.</p>
|
||||
<p>As the second Xihe-class mothership, Taibai benefited from approximately two years of operational feedback from the lead ship Xihe (XH-01). The habitation module's ergonomic interfaces were refined, and radiation shielding received additional composite layers around the command center, living areas, and medical spaces. These improvements enhanced crew safety and comfort on long-duration missions while maintaining the same baseline configuration and delta-v specifications as the lead ship.</p>
|
||||
<p>Taibai's standard carried-vehicle configuration is two Echo shuttles, used for crew, sample, and light cargo transfer between the mothership and target body surfaces. The ship was the first Xihe-class vessel designated from the construction phase with an inner Solar System mission emphasis, focusing on Mars-system resupply, asteroid belt exploration, and rapid-response near-Earth operations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="construction">Construction</h2>
|
||||
<h3>Construction method and innovation</h3>
|
||||
<p>Taibai was the first Xihe-class mothership assembled at Star Port Station, marking the class's transition from "Vulture Shuttle-based free-flying LEO assembly" to "orbital shipyard construction using Star Port Station and Qingtian cargo ships." This shift freed large-module transport and integration from shuttle cargo-bay size constraints, significantly improving construction efficiency and module integration precision.</p>
|
||||
<p>During construction, Qingtian cargo ships delivered the nine major modules, the artificial-gravity habitation ring, and other large structural components to Star Port Station in batches. The station's orbital shipyard facilities provided a stable assembly platform, environmental control, and maintenance support, allowing Taibai's construction timeline to improve on the lead ship Xihe's approximately 693-day build.</p>
|

|
||||
|

<p>Taibai's construction benefited significantly from XH-01's operational experience. Habitation module design improvements, radiation shielding upgrades, and docking hub assembly processes all directly applied data accumulated during Xihe's Deep Space Test Mission and Mars Mission Demonstration. Additionally, Star Port Station's shipyard environment allowed more comprehensive subsystem verification during the assembly phase, reducing the subsequent shakedown workload.</p>

<h2 id="operational-history">Operational history</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Shakedown (November 2056 to March 2057)</h3>
|
||||
<p>Taibai began a five-month orbital shakedown in November 2056, covering low Earth orbit, geostationary orbit maneuvers, and lunar orbit round trips. The shakedown phase validated structural integrity, propulsion response, artificial-gravity ring dynamic balance, long-duration life-support capability, and ship-wide thermal control stability. All systems passed validation, with thermal control, communications, and propulsion performance meeting or exceeding design targets.</p>
|
||||
<p>During shakedown, Taibai also completed its first docking test with Star Port Station, verifying the forward docking hub and central docking hub performance in structural locking, power, thermal control, and data transfer. These tests established the operational baseline for routine mothership servicing and maintenance at Star Port Station. Shakedown concluded in March 2057, and Taibai was formally commissioned in April 2057.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Vesta Mission (May 2057 to January 2058)</h3>
|
||||
<p>In May 2057, Taibai departed low Earth orbit on the Xihe class's first asteroid belt mission—Vesta orbital survey and surface sample collection. This was the first Xihe-class mission beyond Mars orbit into the asteroid belt, and humanity's first crewed orbital survey and surface sampling of Vesta.</p>
|
||||
<p>During the roughly eight-month round trip, Taibai completed detailed Vesta orbital mapping, surface sample collection, and asteroid-belt deep-space environment assessment. Two carried Echo shuttles handled surface team descent and return, while the mothership remained in a safe orbit for telemetry monitoring, sample reception, and preliminary analysis. The mission validated Xihe-class operations under asteroid-belt radiation conditions, micrometeoroid risk, and extended communication delays.</p>
|
||||
<p>In January 2058, Taibai returned to Earth with Vesta samples, which were transferred to near-Earth orbital laboratories for detailed analysis. The Vesta mission's success proved that Xihe-class motherships were capable of asteroid-belt deep-space operations, expanding the class's mission envelope from the Mars system to the wider inner Solar System.</p>

<h3>Mars Expedition 3 (April 2058 to December 2058)</h3>
|
||||
<p>In April 2058, Taibai executed Mars Expedition 3, conducting crew rotation and resupply transport to Mars One Base. The mission's core objective was delivering a new rotation of construction crew, supplies, and expansion equipment to Mars One Base while returning the previous resident crew to Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Taibai carried two Echo shuttles for crew and cargo ferry between the mothership and the Martian surface. The mothership remained in high Mars orbit while Echo shuttles handled surface rotation, supply unloading, and sample loading. The mission lasted approximately nine months, concluding with a return to Earth in December 2058. Mars Expedition 3's success cemented Taibai's position as a trunk-line platform for Mars base expansion.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Mars Expedition 4 (October 2059 to January 2060)</h3>
|
||||
<p>In October 2059, Taibai returned to Mars for Mars Expedition 4, with the primary objective of supporting Mars One Base expansion. This mission coincided with the critical surface expansion phase of Mars One Campus Alpha; Taibai delivered structural trusses, greenhouse components, and support supplies that were essential for the base's phased construction.</p>
|
||||
<p>Taibai completed Mars Expedition 4 and returned to Earth in January 2060. The mission validated the continuous resupply coordination model between Xihe-class motherships and Martian surface bases, further demonstrating the feasibility of multi-mothership rotational support for Mars base construction.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Current status (March 2060)</h3>
|
||||
<p>As of March 2060, Taibai has completed post-Mars Expedition 4 maintenance and is undergoing system inspections and servicing in preparation for its next assignment. Maintenance work is being conducted at Star Port Station, covering propulsion system inspection, docking hub seal replacement, life-support loop servicing, thermal control system calibration, and carried-vehicle interface checks. Taibai remains in good active service condition and is one of the most steadily-operating platforms in the Xihe-class fleet.</p>

<h2 id="fleet-role">Fleet role</h2>
|
||||
<p>Within the Xihe-class fleet, Taibai is positioned as the primary platform for inner Solar System and Mars-system missions. Unlike the lead ship Xihe (emphasizing technology validation and outer Solar System expeditions) and the third ship Changxi (emphasizing deep-space communications relay deployment), Taibai's mission record concentrates on Mars base resupply, asteroid belt exploration, and near-Earth rapid response, reflecting the Xihe class's flexible division of labor across multiple mission directions.</p>
|
||||
<p>Taibai was the first Xihe-class ship to extend the class's mission range into the asteroid belt (Vesta Mission, 2057-2058) and consecutively executed Mars Expeditions 3 and 4, establishing the ship as the core Mars base trunk-line resupply platform. Among the three active Xihe-class ships, Taibai has maintained the most consistent operational tempo and accumulated extensive Mars-system operations and asteroid-belt deep-space experience.</p>
|
||||
<p>As of March 2060, the Xihe-class fleet has three active ships (XH-01 Xihe, XH-02 Taibai, XH-03 Changxi) and one under construction (XH-04). Taibai is in post-mission maintenance and is expected to resume inner Solar System and Mars-system missions after servicing is complete.</p>

<p><b>太白号</b>（英语：<b>Taibai</b>，编号 XH-02）是<a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Xihe">羲和级星际探索母舰</a>的二号舰，也是该级首艘在星港空间站完成组装的母舰。舰名取自金星的中国古称"太白"，象征其侧重于内太阳系和小行星带任务定位。太白号于 2054 年 12 月开工，2056 年 10 月完成组装，2057 年 4 月正式服役。截至 2060 年 3 月，太白号处于任务后维护阶段，正在为后续任务做准备。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>太白号沿用了羲和级的九模块纵向脊柱式构型，集成"毅力"质量驱动推进系统、方舟冷核聚变反应堆、闭合式生命保障系统、人工重力居住环和强化对接枢纽。与首舰羲和号相比，太白号在建造过程中吸收了 XH-01 的运营经验，对居住模块进行了改进，并升级了辐射屏蔽系统。该舰不具备大气再入或行星表面着陆能力，地表往返运输依赖随舰携带的回声级摆渡航天飞机。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>太白号的任务记录以内太阳系为重点，涵盖了灶神星轨道勘测与小行星带探测、火星远征支援以及火星一号基地补给等关键任务，为羲和级的批量建造能力和多舰协同模式提供了验证。</p>

<h2 id="设计概述">设计概述</h2>
|
||||
<p>太白号为羲和级二号舰，整体采用纵向脊柱式多段圆柱构型，全长 83.4 米，最大直径 25 米（人工重力居住环），满载速度增量约 1700 km/s，最大有效载荷 300 吨。全舰功能区沿中心轴线依次排列：前部对接枢纽、指挥中心、人工重力居住模块、静止居住模块、中心对接枢纽、温室模块、主储藏模块、桁架结构和推进模块。</p>
|
||||
<p>作为第二艘羲和级母舰，太白号在首舰羲和号（XH-01）的基础上吸收了约两年的运营反馈。居住模块的人机工程学界面进行了优化，辐射屏蔽在关键区域——指挥中心、居住区和医疗设施周围——增加了额外复合层。这些改进使太白号在保持与首舰相同的基本构型和速度增量指标的同时，提升了长期任务中的乘员安全和舒适度。</p>
|
||||
<p>太白号的随舰载具标准配置为两艘回声级航天飞机，用于母舰与目标天体表面之间的人员、样品和轻型货物运输。该舰也是首艘在建造阶段即明确以内太阳系任务为重点的羲和级母舰，其任务规划侧重火星系统补给、小行星带探测和近地轨道快速响应。</p>

<h3>建造方式与创新</h3>
|
||||
<p>太白号是首艘在星港空间站完成组装的羲和级母舰，标志着羲和级建造模式从"基于秃鹫航天飞机的自由飞行近地轨道组装"向"基于星港空间站与擎天货运飞船的轨道船坞式建造"的过渡。这一模式转变使大型模块的运输和集成不再受限于航天飞机货舱尺寸，显著提高了建造效率和模块集成精度。</p>
|
||||
<p>建造过程中，擎天货运飞船分批将九大模块、人工重力居住环及其他大型结构件运抵星港空间站。星港的轨道船坞设施提供了稳定的装配平台、环境控制和维护保障，使太白号的建造周期较首舰羲和号（约 693 天）进一步优化。</p>

<p>太白号在羲和级舰队中的定位是内太阳系与火星系统任务的主力平台。与首舰羲和号（侧重技术验证和外太阳系远征）和三号舰常曦号（侧重深空通信中继部署）不同，太白号的任务记录集中于火星基地补给、小行星带探测和近地轨道快速响应，体现了羲和级母舰在多任务方向上的灵活分工。</p>
|
||||
<p>太白号首次将羲和级母舰的任务范围扩展至小行星带（灶神星任务，2057-2058），并连续执行火星远征 3 和远征 4，确立了该舰作为火星基地干线补给平台的核心地位。在羲和级三舰体系中，太白号的任务节奏最为稳定，累积了丰富的火星系统运营和小行星带深空操作经验。</p>
|
||||
<p>截至 2060 年 3 月，羲和级舰队共有三艘在役（XH-01 羲和号、XH-02 太白号、XH-03 常曦号），一艘建造中（XH-04）。太白号处于任务后维护状态，预计将在完成整备后继续承担内太阳系及火星系统的任务。</p>

<p><b>Changxi</b> (designation XH-03) is the third ship of the <a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Xihe">Xihe-class interplanetary exploration mothership</a> and the first Xihe-class vessel purpose-modified for deep-space communications relay missions. Named after Changxi, the moon charioteer goddess in Chinese mythology, the name reflects the ship's role bridging cislunar space and deep-space operations. Construction began in February 2056 and assembly was completed in December 2059, making Changxi the longest-build Xihe-class ship at approximately 46 months. As of March 2060, Changxi is in its shakedown phase and is expected to be formally commissioned in June 2060.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Changxi follows the nine-module axial spine configuration of the Xihe class, integrating the Perseverance mass-driver propulsion system, an Ark cold-fusion reactor, closed-loop life support, an artificial-gravity habitation ring, and reinforced docking hardware. Compared with its sister ships, Changxi's most distinctive feature is an enhanced deep-space communications suite integrated during construction, making it the first Xihe-class platform purpose-built for Jupiter relay network deployment and deep-space communications infrastructure support.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Changxi's construction overlapped with operations of XH-01 Xihe and XH-02 Taibai, and the resource allocation required for three concurrent ships significantly extended its build time. However, this extended period also allowed the construction team to fully incorporate operational feedback from the first two ships into Changxi's design, achieving the highest level of systems integration in the Xihe class, particularly in communications, life support, and data management. The ship is not capable of atmospheric re-entry or planetary landing; surface access is provided by carried Echo shuttles.</p>

<h2 id="design-overview">Design overview</h2>
|
||||
<p>Changxi is the third Xihe-class ship, using an axial-spine multi-module cylindrical layout with an overall length of 83.4 m, a maximum diameter of 25 m at the artificial-gravity habitation ring, a full-load delta-v of about 1,700 km/s, and a maximum payload of 300 t. Functional zones are arranged along the central axis: forward docking hub, command center, artificial-gravity habitation ring, static habitation module, central docking hub, greenhouse module, main storage module, truss section, and propulsion module.</p>
|
||||
<p>Changxi's most prominent design feature is its enhanced deep-space communications suite, integrated during construction rather than added as a post-build modification. The suite includes a high-gain deep-space communications antenna array, multi-band relay transceivers, laser communications terminals, and dedicated data processing units, providing stable communications relay capability at Jupiter distances and beyond. Unlike standard Xihe-class ships that would require mission-specific communications equipment to be added later, Changxi's suite was pre-installed in the truss section and central docking hub, fully integrated with the ship's power, thermal control, and data buses.</p>
|
||||
<p>Beyond the communications enhancement, Changxi comprehensively benefits from XH-01 and XH-02 operational experience: the habitation module uses the same improved configuration as Taibai, radiation shielding is further thickened in critical areas, and the water-recycling system achieves a closed-loop recovery rate above 97%. These improvements give Changxi greater autonomy and survivability for Jupiter-system high-radiation environments and long-duration communications relay missions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="construction">Construction</h2>
|
||||
<h3>Background and challenges</h3>
|
||||
<p>Changxi began construction at Star Port Station in February 2056, the second Xihe-class ship assembled at the station (after Taibai). The construction period coincided with the peak of XH-01's Mars expeditions and Jovian-system missions, as well as XH-02's Vesta mission and Mars expeditions. Running three ships concurrently placed significant strain on personnel, materiel, and Star Port Station's shipyard resources.</p>
|
||||
<p>This resource dispersion is directly reflected in the build time: from February 2056 to December 2059, approximately 46 months—the longest Xihe-class construction to date. However, the extended construction period was not without value—it gave the build team ample time to incorporate the latest operational data from XH-01 and XH-02 into Changxi's design. Integrating the communications suite during construction rather than as a retrofit avoided the structural interference and system conflicts that a post-build modification might have caused.</p>
|
||||
<p>Changxi's construction relied on Qingtian cargo ships for large-module transport and Star Port Station for assembly platform and integration environment. The Jupiter relay communications equipment—including the high-gain antenna array, relay transceivers, and laser communications terminals—was integrated during the truss-section assembly phase, with waveguides, power feeds, and data links pre-routed along the ship's axis, forming an organic whole with the ship's systems.</p>

<h3>Shakedown (January 8, 2060 to April 12, 2060, planned)</h3>
|
||||
<p>Changxi began its shakedown phase at Star Port Station on January 8, 2060, with a planned duration of approximately three months (to April 12, 2060). The shakedown is divided into three stages designed to comprehensively validate all ship systems and the real-world performance of the enhanced deep-space communications suite.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Earth orbit and GEO tests (January to February 2060)</h4>
|
||||
<p>The first shakedown stage focused on low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit maneuver tests. Changxi completed full-thrust-profile propulsion validation, artificial-gravity ring rotation tests, long-duration life-support system evaluation, and ship-wide thermal control response testing. During this stage, the deep-space communications suite completed end-to-end link calibration with Star Port Station and ground control centers, along with validation of multiple communications mode switching.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Lunar orbit round trip (February to March 2060)</h4>
|
||||
<p>The second stage targeted lunar orbit, validating Changxi's Earth-Moon transfer capability and long-range navigation performance. Changxi departed from low Earth orbit, completed Earth-Moon transfer, lunar orbit insertion, and return maneuvers. This stage also tested the communications antenna array's pointing accuracy and relay forwarding capability at Earth-Moon distances, accumulating baseline data for subsequent Jupiter-distance communications missions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Deep-space communications relay tests (March to April 2060)</h4>
|
||||
<p>The third stage is a dedicated deep-space communications relay test, which began in March 2060. Test items include multi-band relay forwarding, laser communications terminal long-distance lock stability, communications link interference resistance, and autonomous protocol switching under simulated Jupiter-distance communications delays. This stage is the core validation element of Changxi's shakedown, directly determining the technical readiness for the subsequent Jupiter relay network deployment mission.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As of March 2060, Changxi's shakedown is progressing on schedule. All test objectives for the first two stages have been met, and the deep-space communications relay tests are in progress. After shakedown concludes, Changxi is expected to be formally commissioned in June 2060.</p>

<h2 id="mission-outlook">Mission outlook</h2>
|
||||
<p>After commissioning, Changxi will undertake two primary mission directions: Jupiter relay communications network deployment and Europa Outpost support.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Jupiter relay communications network deployment</h3>
|
||||
<p>Changxi's core mission is deploying a relay communications satellite network in the Jovian system. This network will cover communications links between Jupiter's major moons (Europa, Io, Ganymede, and Callisto) and Earth, providing stable, lower-latency communications infrastructure for subsequent long-duration Jovian-system scientific expeditions, Europa Outpost operations, and crewed missions. Changxi's enhanced deep-space communications suite allows it to simultaneously serve as network coordination node and communications test platform during relay satellite deployment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Network deployment is expected to proceed in phases: first, backbone node satellites will be placed in high Jupiter orbit; next, local relay stations will be positioned around the major moons; finally, network interconnection and end-to-end validation will be completed. Throughout the deployment process, Changxi will serve as a mobile command and control center, handling satellite release, orbital calibration, link establishment, and network integration.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Europa Outpost support</h3>
|
||||
<p>Changxi's second mission direction is providing communications and logistics support for Europa Research Outpost. As the first Xihe-class ship purpose-optimized for deep-space communications relay, Changxi can provide high-bandwidth relay links between the outpost and Earth while using its mothership-class platform for cargo transfer, crew rotation, and emergency evacuation capability.</p>
|
||||
<p>Changxi is the first Xihe-class ship designated from the design phase with deep-space communications infrastructure as its primary mission direction. This role complements XH-01 (emphasizing technology validation and outer Solar System expeditions) and XH-02 (emphasizing inner Solar System and Mars-system missions), reflecting the Xihe-class fleet's diversified development in mission specialization.</p>

<h2 id="fleet-role">Fleet role</h2>
|
||||
<p>Within the Xihe-class fleet, Changxi is positioned as the dedicated platform for deep-space communications infrastructure and Jupiter-system relay network deployment. Unlike the lead ship Xihe (multi-role comprehensive validation and outer Solar System expeditions) and the second ship Taibai (inner Solar System and Mars-system workhorse), Changxi's mission direction centers on communications relay, representing the Xihe class's evolution from general-purpose motherships toward mission-specialized platforms.</p>
|
||||
<p>Changxi's enhanced deep-space communications suite gives it unique mission advantages among the three Xihe-class ships: in distant mission scenarios such as the Jovian system, Changxi can not only perform mothership-class transport and support missions but also simultaneously serve as a mobile relay communications node, substantially enhancing communications capability and network redundancy in the mission area. This role is critically important for subsequent large-scale Jovian-system scientific expeditions and Europa Outpost expansion.</p>
|
||||
<p>As of March 2060, the Xihe-class fleet has three active ships (XH-01 Xihe is in the Jovian system on Europa Expedition 3; XH-02 Taibai is in post-mission maintenance; XH-03 Changxi is in shakedown) and one under construction (XH-04). Changxi will soon become the fourth Xihe-class mothership to enter operations, and its communications relay specialization will significantly enhance humanity's sustained presence capability in the Jovian system.</p>

<p><b>常曦号</b>（英语：<b>Changxi</b>，编号 XH-03）是<a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Xihe">羲和级星际探索母舰</a>的三号舰，也是首艘专为深空通信中继任务进行改装的羲和级母舰。舰名取自中国神话中的月御之神"常曦"，象征其地月空间与深空过渡的定位。常曦号于 2056 年 2 月开工，2059 年 12 月完成组装，是目前羲和级中建造周期最长的母舰（约 46 个月）。截至 2060 年 3 月，常曦号正处于试运行阶段，预计于 2060 年 6 月正式服役。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>常曦号沿用了羲和级的九模块纵向脊柱式构型，集成"毅力"质量驱动推进系统、方舟冷核聚变反应堆、闭合式生命保障系统、人工重力居住环和强化对接枢纽。与姐妹舰相比，常曦号最显著的特点是在建造过程中即集成了增强型深空通信套件，使其成为首艘专门面向木星中继通信网络部署和深空通信基础设施支援的羲和级平台。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>常曦号的建造与 XH-01 羲和号和 XH-02 太白号的运营同期进行，三舰并行的资源分配导致其建造周期显著延长。然而，这段延长期限也使建造团队能够将前两舰的运营反馈充分融入常曦号的设计，在通信系统、生命保障和数据管理方面实现了羲和级最高的集成水平。该舰不具备大气再入或行星表面着陆能力，地表往返运输依赖随舰携带的回声级摆渡航天飞机。</p>

<h2 id="设计概述">设计概述</h2>
|
||||
<p>常曦号为羲和级三号舰，整体采用纵向脊柱式多段圆柱构型，全长 83.4 米，最大直径 25 米（人工重力居住环），满载速度增量约 1700 km/s，最大有效载荷 300 吨。全舰功能区沿中心轴线依次排列：前部对接枢纽、指挥中心、人工重力居住模块、静止居住模块、中心对接枢纽、温室模块、主储藏模块、桁架结构和推进模块。</p>
|
||||
<p>常曦号最突出的设计特征是集成于建造阶段的增强型深空通信套件。该套件包括高增益深空通信天线阵列、多频段中继收发器、激光通信终端和专用数据处理单元，使其在木星距离及更远范围内具备稳定的通信中继能力。与传统羲和级母舰依赖任务期间加装通信设备不同，常曦号的通信套件在桁架结构和中心对接枢纽中预先布置，并与全舰电力、热控和数据总线充分集成。</p>
|
||||
<p>除通信系统的增强外，常曦号还从 XH-01 和 XH-02 的运营经验中全面受益：居住模块采用与太白号相同的改进配置，辐射屏蔽在关键区域进一步加厚，水回收系统闭环回收率提升至 97% 以上。这些改进使常曦号在应对木星系统高辐射环境和长周期通信中继任务时具有更强的自主性和生存能力。</p>

||||
<h2 id="建造">建造</h2>
|
||||
<h3>建造背景与挑战</h3>
|
||||
<p>常曦号于 2056 年 2 月在星港空间站开工，是第二艘在该站组装的羲和级母舰（继太白号之后）。建造期间正值 XH-01 火星远征与木星系统任务的高峰期，以及 XH-02 灶神星任务和火星远征的执行期，多舰并行运营对人力、物资和星港空间站的船坞资源造成了显著压力。</p>
|
||||
<p>这种资源分散直接反映在建造周期上：从 2056 年 2 月到 2059 年 12 月，约 46 个月的建造时间使其成为羲和级中建造最长的母舰。然而，延长的建造周期并非完全没有价值——它为建造团队提供了充分的时间将 XH-01 和 XH-02 的最新运营数据融入常曦号的设计。通信套件在建造阶段而非改造阶段集成，避免了后期改装可能引发的结构干涉和系统冲突。</p>
|
||||
<p>常曦号的建造由擎天货运飞船承担大型模块运输，星港空间站提供装配平台和集成环境。木星中继通信设备——包括高增益天线阵列、中继收发器和激光通信终端——在桁架结构组装阶段即被集成，其波导、电力馈线和数据链路沿舰体轴向预埋，与全舰系统形成有机整体。</p>

<h2 id="任务展望">任务展望</h2>
|
||||
<p>常曦号的服役后将承担两项主要任务方向：木星中继通信网络部署和欧罗巴前哨站支援。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>木星中继通信网络部署</h3>
|
||||
<p>常曦号的核心任务是在木星系统部署中继通信卫星网络。该网络将覆盖木星主要卫星（欧罗巴、木卫一、木卫三和木卫四）与地球之间的通信链路，为后续木星系统的长期科学考察、欧罗巴前哨站运维和载人任务提供稳定、低延迟的通信基础设施。常曦号的增强型深空通信套件使其能够在中继卫星部署过程中同时承担网络协调节点和通信测试平台的角色。</p>
|
||||
<p>中继网络的部署预期将分阶段进行：首先在木星高轨布置主干节点卫星，随后在主要卫星轨道布置局部中继站，最后完成网络互联和端到端验证。常曦号在整个部署过程中将作为移动式指挥和控制中心，负责卫星释放、轨道校准、链路建立和网络集成。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>欧罗巴前哨站支援</h3>
|
||||
<p>常曦号的第二项任务方向是为欧罗巴研究前哨站提供通信和后勤支援。作为首艘专为深空通信中继而优化的羲和级母舰，常曦号能够在前哨站与地球之间提供高带宽中继链路，同时利用其母舰级平台为前哨站提供物资转运、人员轮换和应急撤离能力。</p>
|
||||
<p>常曦号是羲和级中首艘从设计阶段即明确以深空通信基础设施为主要任务方向的母舰。这一角色与 XH-01（侧重技术验证和外太阳系远征）和 XH-02（侧重内太阳系与火星系统任务）形成互补，体现了羲和级舰队在任务分工上的多元化发展。</p>

<h2 id="舰队定位">舰队定位</h2>
|
||||
<p>常曦号在羲和级舰队中的定位是深空通信基础设施和木星系统中继网络部署的专用平台。与首舰羲和号（多任务综合验证与外太阳系远征）和二号舰太白号（内太阳系与火星系统主力）不同，常曦号的任务方向集中于通信中继，代表了羲和级从通用母舰向任务定制化平台发展的趋势。</p>
|
||||
<p>常曦号的增强型深空通信套件使其在羲和级三舰中具备独特的任务优势：在木星系统等远距离任务场景中，常曦号不仅能够执行母舰级的运输和支援任务，还能同时充当移动式中继通信节点，大幅提升任务区域的通信能力和网络冗余度。这一角色对后续木星系统的大规模科学考察和欧罗巴前哨站扩建具有关键意义。</p>
|
||||
<p>截至 2060 年 3 月，羲和级舰队共有三艘在役（XH-01 羲和号正在木星系统执行欧罗巴远征 3；XH-02 太白号处于任务后维护状态；XH-03 常曦号正在试运行），一艘建造中（XH-04）。常曦号即将成为舰队中第四艘投入运营的羲和级母舰，其通信中继特化能力将显著增强人类在木星系统的持续存在能力。</p>

<p>The class uses an axial modular configuration with a mass-driver main propulsion system, an Ark cold-fusion reactor, closed-loop life support, an artificial-gravity habitation ring, scientific facilities, a greenhouse module, and reinforced docking hardware. It is not capable of atmospheric re-entry or planetary landing. Surface access and short-range target-system transport are handled by carried ferry shuttles and surface vehicles.</p>
|
||||
<p>Before the Stellaria class entered service, Xihe-class motherships served as the main platform for multiple interplanetary missions. XH-01 was assembled in low Earth orbit from 2050 to 2052 and subsequently supported Mars-orbit validation, Mars base construction, Europa outpost construction, and Jovian-system scientific operations. The class provided the operational foundation for later interplanetary exploration motherships.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Xihe class refers both to the class led by XH-01 and to the technical lineage used by later XH-numbered motherships. XH-02 Taibai and XH-03 Changxi continued the class in Mars-base supply, Star Port servicing, and deep-space infrastructure support.</p>

<h2 id="construction-and-development">Construction and development</h2>
|
||||
<p>The lead ship Xihe (XH-01) was assembled in low Earth orbit between 2050 and 2052. The first module arrived in LEO on 2050-03-15, delivered by Vulture shuttles to begin orbital assembly. The artificial-gravity ring exceeded shuttle cargo-bay limits and was launched separately by a super-heavy vehicle. Main assembly took 693 days and was completed on 2052-02-06.</p>
|
||||
<p>The orbital commissioning phase (2052-06-01 to 2052-11-30) included low Earth orbit checkout, geostationary-orbit maneuvers, lunar-orbit round trips, and full-system pressure testing, verifying structural integrity, thermal stability, propulsion response, and long-duration life-support endurance. Immediately after commissioning, XH-01 entered the Deep Space Test Mission (2053), an uncrewed flight to the Sun-Earth L2 point lasting 340 days, which validated autonomous navigation, remote telemetry, and large-payload delivery ahead of the first crewed Mars mission.</p>

Immediately after commissioning, Xihe entered the Deep Space Test Mission (2053), an uncrewed flight to the Sun-Earth L2 point lasting 340 days, which validated autonomous navigation, remote telemetry, and large-payload delivery ahead of the first crewed Mars mission.</p>
|
||||
<p>In terms of construction methods, Xihe (XH-01) was assembled in LEO using Vulture Shuttle heavy-lift missions (2050–2052). Later Xihe-class ships (Taibai, Changxi, XH-04) and Stellaria-class ships transitioned to using Qingtian cargo vessels for module delivery. Assembly shifted from LEO free-flying construction to dock-based assembly at Star Port Station. This transition significantly improved construction efficiency and reduced the burden on the Vulture Shuttle fleet.</p>
|
||||
<p>Xihe-class construction experience directly influenced the Stellaria class. Stellaria retained the axial spine, artificial-gravity ring, and central docking logic while increasing propulsion capability, central volume, long-duration life support, and cryosleep capacity. Later mothership construction increasingly moved toward Star Port Station and large orbital shipyards, with Qingtian cargo vehicles carrying more of the large-module transport work.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="operational-history">Operational history</h2>
|
||||
<p>After completing assembly in 2052, XH-01 entered orbital checkout and then Mars and Jovian-system missions. The following is an overview of XH-01's major mission phases since commissioning.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Deep Space Test Mission (2053)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On January 12, 2053, Xihe departed low Earth orbit in an uncrewed configuration bound for the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, executing a 340-day deep-space test mission that concluded on December 18, 2053. This was the first Xihe-class deep-space operation and the longest uncrewed autonomous deep-space flight in the Chinese space program at that time.</p>
|
||||
<p>During the mission, Xihe validated several systems critical to subsequent crewed operations: long-duration autonomous navigation and station-keeping, deep-space communications stability at Sun-Earth L2 distances, radiation shielding effectiveness in the actual deep-space environment, and extended uncrewed operation of the closed-loop life-support system. The flight computer executed all orbital maneuvers and system scheduling without real-time ground intervention.</p>
|
||||
<p>After returning to LEO, Xihe underwent a comprehensive post-flight evaluation. Based on telemetry analysis, the engineering team applied targeted upgrades to propulsion redundancy, communications antenna pointing mechanisms, and life-support recirculation loops, preparing the ship for its first crewed Mars mission. The Deep Space Test Mission formally transitioned the Xihe class from an orbital test platform to a mission-capable deep-space asset.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Mars Mission Demonstration (2054-2055)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On July 10, 2054, Xihe departed LEO with a 102 km/s injection burn, arriving at Mars on August 21, 2054 after 42 days of interplanetary cruise. The mission remained uncrewed; its core objective was validating the mothership's deep-space delivery capability in an actual Mars orbital environment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Upon Mars arrival, Xihe successfully delivered the first Mars One base equipment package, which included habitation module components, solar array support structures, and initial life-support hardware. The surface operations phase ran from August 21, 2054 to January 10, 2055 — 142 days — during which Xihe remained in high Mars orbit, monitoring equipment deployment and self-check status via telemetry relay.</p>
|
||||
<p>On January 10, 2055, Xihe departed Mars orbit with a 97 km/s injection, reaching Earth on February 28, 2055. The mission definitively proved that the Xihe class could operate reliably at Mars distance and deliver heavy payloads to the Martian surface, clearing the final critical hurdle for crewed Mars missions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Mars One Base Construction Mission 1 (2055-2056)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On June 15, 2055, Xihe departed LEO carrying the first Mars construction crew, arriving at Mars on July 30, 2055. This was the first crewed Mars mission of the Xihe class and the first time astronauts traveled to another planet aboard a mothership-class platform.</p>
|
||||
<p>Surface operations extended from July 30, 2055 to February 7, 2056 — 192 days. During this period, the crew established the core infrastructure of Mars One Base: mating and pressurizing the primary habitation module, activating initial life-support systems, erecting communications antennas, and conducting the first scientific surveys of the Martian surface. Xihe remained on standby in high Mars orbit, with Echo-class shuttles providing crew and cargo surface transfer.</p>
|
||||
<p>For the return leg, Xihe employed the FAST RETURN trajectory for the first time, injecting from Mars orbit into the Earth-Mars transfer with a 207 km/s burn, substantially shortening the return transit. Departing February 7, 2056 and arriving at Earth on March 18, 2056, the return trip took only 39 days. After return, Xihe entered a maintenance cycle (March 25 to June 20, 2056, 87 days) for its first comprehensive post-mission inspection of propulsion, docking interfaces, and life-support equipment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Mars One Base Construction Mission 3 (2056-2057)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On July 30, 2056, Xihe departed again for Mars at 95 km/s injection, arriving on September 15, 2056. The defining moment of this mission came on September 17, 2056, when Xihe's crew met the Stellaria-class ST-01 crew on the Martian surface, completing humanity's first interplanetary crew handover. With XH-01 and ST-01 simultaneously present in the Mars system, this event marked the beginning of coordinated multi-mothership operations.</p>
|
||||
<p>The surface stay ran from September 15, 2056 to February 12, 2057. During this period, Xihe's crew took over Mars One Base operations while simultaneously extending base infrastructure and conducting a second round of scientific surveys. While both motherships were in Mars orbit, they also completed the first inter-mothership cargo transfer and joint communications relay test, accumulating invaluable experience for future multi-platform missions.</p>
|
||||
<p>This was the first coordinated two-mothership operation in history, demonstrating the feasibility of operating two large crewed spacecraft simultaneously around another planet. The lessons learned directly informed planning for later multi-platform Jovian-system operations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Mars Expedition 2 (2057-2058)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On May 5, 2057, Xihe departed for the now-established Mars One Base, arriving on June 22, 2057. Unlike previous construction-focused missions, this expedition emphasized scientific investigation and base operations, while also pioneering the inclusion of commercial space tourism.</p>
|
||||
<p>The surface stay lasted 300 days — the longest continuous human presence on the Martian surface recorded to that date. The crew conducted extensive scientific work including Martian geological sampling, atmospheric studies, subsurface ice detection, and long-duration physiological data collection. The expedition also completed a base expansion, adding a dedicated laboratory module and upgraded water-recovery facilities.</p>
|
||||
<p>The mission's most significant milestone was carrying the first paying passengers to the Martian surface. These passengers participated in science-support work and surface exploration activities during their stay. The achievement demonstrated that deep-space tourism had reached commercial viability at both the technical and operational levels. The return leg began on April 18, 2058, with a 115 km/s injection departing Mars, arriving at Earth on May 20, 2058.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Europa Expedition 1 (2058-2059)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On July 10, 2058, Xihe departed LEO with a 160 km/s injection bound for the Jovian system — the first Xihe-class mission beyond Mars orbit and into the outer Solar System. After 77 days of interplanetary cruise, Xihe arrived at Jupiter on September 25, 2058.</p>
|
||||
<p>Xihe spent 288 days in the Jovian system, conducting scientific investigations across multiple target bodies. Europa surface operations, focused on subsurface ocean sounding, surface composition analysis, and radiation environment measurement, continued until December 15, 2058. The mothership then repositioned near Io for a volcanic plume sampling mission from December 20, 2058 to January 20, 2059, deploying probes to fly through eruption plumes and collect precious ejecta samples. On July 5, 2059, the expedition completed magnetic-field mapping and surface geological surveys of Ganymede.</p>
|
||||
<p>On July 10, 2059, Xihe departed the Jovian system for the 128-day return voyage, docking at Star Port Station on November 15, 2059. The success of Europa Expedition 1 irrefutably demonstrated that the Xihe class was capable of executing long-duration, complex scientific missions in the outer Solar System, opening the door to subsequent Jovian expeditions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Greenhouse Upgrade and Maintenance (2059-2060)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On November 16, 2059, Xihe began a 95-day deep maintenance and upgrade cycle at Star Port Station, concluding on February 19, 2060. After missions spanning from Mars to Jupiter, the mothership required a comprehensive systems overhaul to meet the demands of more intensive, longer-distance deep-space operations.</p>
|
||||
<p>The centerpiece of this upgrade was the greenhouse module's complete renovation: the hydroponic system was upgraded from single-crop cultivation to multi-zone rotational planting, nutrient-loop efficiency was improved by approximately 40%, and automated environmental control and disease monitoring systems were added. These enhancements aimed to support longer-duration missions with reduced reliance on resupply. For radiation protection, additional composite shielding was installed around the command center, habitation modules, and medical bay. The water-recycling system underwent a complete overhaul, with all membrane filters replaced and purification units upgraded, raising the closed-loop recovery rate above 97%.</p>
|
||||
<p>Additionally, the navigation system received next-generation deep-space star trackers and inertial measurement units, all docking-seal assemblies on the forward docking hub were replaced, and the external sensor array and communications antennas underwent full calibration and partial replacement. This maintenance cycle restored Xihe's systems to near-new condition, thoroughly preparing the ship for the upcoming Europa Expedition 3.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Europa Expedition 3 (2060-02 - ongoing)</h3>
|
||||
<p>On February 20, 2060, the upgraded Xihe departed once more for the Jovian system with a 163 km/s injection burn. This is the Xihe class's third Jovian expedition and the most ambitious outer Solar System mission to date. Xihe is scheduled to arrive at the Jovian system on May 1, 2060.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Europa Expedition 3 mission plan encompasses consecutive exploration of multiple Jovian targets: first an Io surface landing operation, followed by a transfer to Ganymede for surface reconnaissance, and finally arrival at Callisto around May 25, 2060 for scientific observations. This multi-target continuous exploration plan takes full advantage of Jovian-system orbital alignment windows, demonstrating the Xihe class's scheduling capability for complex multi-body missions.</p>
|
||||
<p>As of March 2060, Xihe is in transit on its Jupiter transfer trajectory, with all systems operating nominally and crew in good condition. Data from this mission will provide critical input for the expansion of Europa Outpost and the planning of second-generation motherships' outer Solar System operations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Xihe (XH-01) has executed a series of landmark missions since commissioning in 2052: the Deep Space Test Mission (2053), Mars Mission Demonstration (2054–2055), two Mars One Base construction missions (2055–2057), Mars Expedition 2 (2057–2058), Europa Expedition 1 (2058–2059), and the ongoing Europa Expedition 3 (from 2060), with a comprehensive greenhouse upgrade and maintenance cycle at Star Port Station in 2059–2060. Taibai (XH-02), commissioned in 2056, supported the Vesta mission and multiple Mars expedition rotations. Changxi (XH-03), commissioned in 2059, specializes in Jupiter relay deployment and deep-space communications infrastructure support.</p>

<h2 id="relationship-with-stellaria-class">Relationship with Stellaria class</h2>
|
||||
<p>The Xihe program initially planned to build multiple hulls following XH-01. In September 2050, two additional hulls began construction as "basic motherships" based on the Xihe design. By early 2053, with 871 days of construction completed, these two hulls were paused.</p>
|
||||
<p>The pause was driven by a strategic decision: the emerging Stellaria program offered a higher-performance platform with lightspeed engine capability. Rather than complete them as standard Xihe-class ships, the two incomplete hulls were transferred to the Stellaria program in May 2053. Over the following 352 days (May 2053 to April 2054), they were reconfigured — receiving lightspeed engines while retaining Xihe-class standard systems for other components. These became <a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Stellaria/ST-01">ST-01 (Wanxingyuan)</a> and <a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Stellaria/ST-02">ST-02 (Wanxingyuan NEXT)</a>.</p>
|
||||
<p>Meanwhile, Xihe-class production continued independently. Taibai (XH-02) began construction in December 2054 (completed October 2056). Changxi (XH-03) began February 2056 (completed December 2059). XH-04 began September 2059 (projected completion August 2061).</p>
|
||||
<p>The two classes now serve complementary roles: Xihe class focuses on Mars and Jupiter system missions with established technology; Stellaria class pushes outward to Saturn, Neptune, and beyond with higher speed and endurance.</p>

<p>The lead ship XH-01 Xihe pioneered deep-space mothership operations, undertaking the first deep-space test, the first crewed Mars construction mission, and the first outer Solar System expedition, while leading the core construction of Mars One Base. XH-02 Taibai began construction in December 2054 and was completed in October 2056. It subsequently executed the Vesta mission (May 2057 to January 2058) and transport support for Mars Expeditions 3 and 4, further validating the Xihe class's multi-ship production and coordination capabilities. XH-03 Changxi began construction in February 2056 and was completed in December 2059, commissioned in January 2060, with a mission specialization in Jupiter relay communications satellite deployment and deep-space communications infrastructure support. XH-04 began construction in September 2059 with expected completion in August 2061, currently in the assembly phase, maintaining Xihe-class production continuity.</p>

|
||||
<p>轨道试运行阶段（2052 年 6 月 1 日至 11 月 30 日）涵盖了近地轨道、地球同步轨道机动、月球轨道往返和全系统压力测试。试运行验证了结构完整性、热控稳定性、推进系统响应和长时间生命保障能力。试运行结束后，XH-01 随即转入深空测试任务（深空测试任务，2053 年），以无人状态前往日地 L2 点，进行为期 340 天的自主导航、远程遥测和大载荷投送验证，为后续载人火星任务奠定基础。</p>

|
||||
<p>建造模式方面，羲和号（XH-01）采用近地轨道自由飞行装配方式，由秃鹫航天飞机执行重型舱段投送任务（2050—2052）。后续羲和级舰船（太白号、常曦号、XH-04）和万星源级舰船逐步转向由擎天货运载具承担模块运输，装配地点从近地轨道自由飞行建造转向星港空间站船坞对接式建造。这一转变显著提升了建造效率，并减轻了秃鹫航天飞机机队的投送压力。</p>
|
||||
<p>羲和级的建造经验直接影响后续万星源级。万星源级延续其脊柱式结构、人工重力居住环和中心对接逻辑，并在推进系统、中央扩展段、长期生命保障和低温休眠能力方面扩大规模。后续母舰建造逐步转向星港空间站等大型轨道船坞，并由擎天货运载具承担更多大型模块运输。</p>

<p>2053 年 1 月 12 日，羲和号以无人状态从近地轨道出发，前往日地拉格朗日 L2 点，执行为期 340 天的深空测试任务，于 2053 年 12 月 18 日返航。这是羲和级母舰首次进入深空环境运行，也是当时中国航天历时最长的无人深空自主飞行。</p>
|
||||
<p>任务期间，羲和号验证了多项对后续载人任务至关重要的系统：长时间自主导航与轨道维持、深空通信链路在日地 L2 距离下的稳定性、多层复合辐射屏蔽在实际深空环境中的防护效果，以及闭合式生命保障系统在无人模式下的长期运行可靠性。飞行计算机在无地面实时干预条件下完成了全部轨道机动和系统调度。</p>
|
||||
<p>返航后，羲和号在近地轨道接受全面评估。根据遥测数据和技术团队分析，对推进系统冗余、通信天线指向机构和生命保障循环回路进行了针对性升级，为后续载人火星任务做好准备。深空测试任务的成功，标志着羲和级母舰从轨道试验平台正式转变为具备深空任务能力的作战平台。</p>
|
||||

||||
<p>2054 年 7 月 10 日，羲和号以 102 km/s 注入速度从近地轨道启程，执行首次火星演示任务。经过 42 天的行星际航行，于 2054 年 8 月 21 日抵达火星轨道。此次任务仍以无人状态进行，核心目标是在真实的火星轨道环境中验证母舰的深空投送能力。</p>
|
||||
<p>羲和号在抵达火星后，成功投送了首个火星一号基地设备包，包含栖息舱基础构件、太阳能阵列支架和初期生命保障设备。表面作业阶段从 2054 年 8 月 21 日持续到 2055 年 1 月 10 日，共计 142 天。母舰在此期间保持在火星高轨，通过随舰遥测设备监控设备包的就位和自检状态。</p>
|
||||
<p>2055 年 1 月 10 日，羲和号以 97 km/s 注入速度离开火星轨道，于 2055 年 2 月 28 日返回地球。此次任务无可争议地证明：羲和级母舰具备在火星距离上可靠运行的能力，并能够向火星表面投送重型有效载荷。这一结论为随后启动的载人火星任务扫清了关键障碍。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>火星一号基地建设任务 1（2055—2056）</h3>
|
||||
<p>2055 年 6 月 15 日，羲和号载着首批火星建设乘员从近地轨道出发，于 2055 年 7 月 30 日抵达火星。这是羲和级的首次载人火星任务，也是人类历史上第一批乘坐母舰级平台前往另一颗行星的宇航员。</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<h3>火星一号基地建设任务 3（2056—2057）</h3>
|
||||
<p>2056 年 7 月 30 日，羲和号以 95 km/s 注入速度再次前往火星，于 2056 年 9 月 15 日抵达。此次任务最引人注目的时刻发生在 2056 年 9 月 17 日——羲和号乘员与万星源级首舰 ST-01 乘员在火星表面完成了人类历史上首次行星际人员交接。XH-01 与 ST-01 两艘母舰同时位于火星系统，标志着多母舰协同运营时代的来临。</p>
|
||||
<p>表面停留从 2056 年 9 月 15 日持续到 2057 年 2 月 12 日。在此期间，羲和号乘员接手了火星一号基地的运维工作，同时进行基地扩建和第二次科学考察活动。两艘母舰在火星轨道协同期间，还完成了首次母舰间物资转运和通信中继联合测试，为后续多平台联合任务积累了宝贵经验。</p>
|
||||
<p>这是历史上第一次有协调的双母舰行动，证明了在另一颗行星周围同时运行两艘大型载人航天器的可行性。这一经验直接影响后续木星系统任务中多平台协同的规划。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>火星远征 2（2057—2058）</h3>
|
||||
<p>2057 年 5 月 5 日，羲和号出发前往已建成的火星一号基地，于 2057 年 6 月 22 日抵达。与之前建设任务不同，此次远征以科学考察和基地运营为主，同时开创性地包含了商业太空旅游元素。</p>
|
||||
<p>表面停留长达 300 天——这是截至当时人类在火星表面连续驻留的最长纪录。乘员在此期间开展了广泛的科学考察，包括火星地质取样、大气研究、地下冰层探测和长期居住生理数据采集。远征队还完成了基地扩建工程，新增了一个专用实验室模块和升级后的水回收设施。</p>
|
||||
<p>此次任务最具里程碑意义的是搭载了首批付费太空游客抵达火星表面。这些乘客在火星基地停留期间参与了科学辅助工作和表面考察活动。这一成就证明了深空旅游在技术和运营层面已具备商业可行性。返航阶段于 2058 年 4 月 18 日开始，以 115 km/s 注入速度离开火星，于 2058 年 5 月 20 日抵达地球。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>欧罗巴远征 1（2058—2059）</h3>
|
||||
<p>2058 年 7 月 10 日，羲和号以 160 km/s 注入速度从近地轨道出发，驶向木星系统——这是羲和级母舰首次超越火星轨道，进入外太阳系。经过 77 天的行星际航行，于 2058 年 9 月 25 日抵达木星系统。</p>
|
||||
<p>羲和号在木星系统停留了 288 天，执行了多个目标天体的科学考察。欧罗巴表面作业持续至 2058 年 12 月 15 日，重点开展了冰下海洋探测、表面成分分析和辐射环境测量。随后母舰转移至木卫一附近，于 2058 年 12 月 20 日至 2059 年 1 月 20 日执行了木卫一火山羽流采样任务，利用随舰探测器穿越火山喷发羽流，采集了珍贵的喷出物样本。2059 年 7 月 5 日，远征队完成对木卫三的磁场测绘和表面地质调查。</p>
|
||||
<p>2059 年 7 月 10 日，羲和号从木星系统启程返回，经过 128 天的返航飞行，于 2059 年 11 月 15 日抵达地球，停靠星港空间站。欧罗巴远征 1 的成功，无可辩驳地证明了羲和级母舰具备在外太阳系执行长期复杂科学任务的能力，为后续木星任务打开了大门。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>温室升级与维护（2059—2060）</h3>
|
||||
<p>2059 年 11 月 16 日，羲和号在星港空间站开始为期 95 天的深度维护与升级（至 2060 年 2 月 19 日）。经历了从火星到木星的多次任务后，母舰需要进行全面的系统翻新，以应对更高强度、更远距离的深空任务需求。</p>
|
||||
<p>此次升级的核心是温室模块的全面改造：水培系统从单一作物种植升级为多区轮作，营养液循环回路的效率提升了约 40%，新增了自动环境调控和病害监测系统。这些改进的目标是支持更长周期的深空任务，减少对地面补给补给的依赖。辐射防护方面，在指挥中心、居住模块和医疗区周围加装了额外的复合屏蔽层。水回收系统也进行了彻底翻修，更换了全部滤膜组件并升级了净化单元，将闭环回收率提升至 97% 以上。</p>
|
||||
<p>此外，导航系统更换了新一代深空星敏感器和惯性测量单元，前部对接枢纽的对接口密封组件全部替换，外部传感器阵列和通信天线也经过了全面校准和部分更换。此次维护使羲和号的系统状态恢复至接近新造水平，为即将到来的欧罗巴远征 3 做好了全面准备。</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>欧罗巴远征 3（2060-02 → 进行中）</h3>
|
||||
<p>2060 年 2 月 20 日，完成升级的羲和号以 163 km/s 注入速度再次启程前往木星系统。这是羲和级母舰的第三次木星远征，也是迄今为止规模最大、目标最全面的外太阳系任务。按计划，羲和号于 2060 年 5 月 1 日抵达木星系统。</p>
|
||||
<p>欧罗巴远征 3 的任务规划涵盖了木星系统内多个目标天体的连续探测：首先执行木卫一表面着陆探测，然后转移至木卫三进行地表勘察，最后于 2060 年 5 月 25 日前后抵达木卫四开展科学观测。多目标连续探测的规划充分利用了木星系统的天体排列窗口，体现了羲和级母舰在复杂多天体任务中的调度能力。</p>
|
||||
<p>截至 2060 年 3 月，羲和号正在前往木星的转移轨道上，各系统运行正常，乘员状态良好。此次任务的数据将为后续欧罗巴前哨站的扩建和第二代母舰的外太阳系任务规划提供关键依据。</p>

<h2 id="维护与升级">维护与升级</h2>
|
||||
<p>羲和级的维护周期与任务窗口紧密相关。常规维护通常在近地轨道、星港空间站或大型轨道船坞进行，内容包括推进剂与反应工质检查、散热器清洁与展开机构检查、旋转居住环轴承与动平衡测试、生命保障滤芯更换、温室营养液循环维护、对接口密封圈替换和随舰载具挂点结构检测。</p>
|
||||
<p>深空任务返航后的维护重点是辐射累积、微流星体撞击、长时间热循环和对接机构磨损。欧罗巴和木星系统任务后，辐射屏蔽、外部传感器和通信天线需要重点检查；火星系统任务后，随舰载具接口和样品隔离流程通常占用更多维护时间。星港升级使 XH-01 获得更厚的辐射屏蔽、更高精度导航单元、温室接口扩展和更强的数据处理能力。</p>
|
||||
<p>升级后的 XH-01 仍保持羲和级规格，主要提升深空支援和技术验证能力。与后续万星源级相比，其中央扩展段、低温休眠舱数量、长期乘员容量和主推进速度增量仍较小。</p>

<p>羲和计划最初规划在羲和号（XH-01）之后建造多艘同级舰。2050 年 9 月，两艘以羲和级设计为基础的"基础母舰"开工建造。至 2053 年初，这两艘舰已完成 871 天的建造工作，随后被暂停。</p>
|
||||
<p>暂停的原因是一项战略决策：新兴的万星源计划提供了一个性能更高的平台，具备光速引擎能力。与其将它们建造成标准羲和级舰船，不如将这两艘未完工舰体于 2053 年 5 月移交至万星源计划。在随后的 352 天中（2053 年 5 月至 2054 年 4 月），它们进行了重新配置——安装了光速引擎，其他组件则保留羲和级标准系统。这两艘舰分别成为<a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Stellaria/ST-01">ST-01 万星源号</a>和<a href="/home/Exploration_Motherships/Stellaria/ST-02">ST-02 万星源NEXT号</a>。</p>
|
||||
<p>与此同时，羲和级生产独立推进。太白号（XH-02）于 2054 年 12 月开工（2056 年 10 月完工），常曦号（XH-03）于 2056 年 2 月开工（2059 年 12 月完工），XH-04 于 2059 年 9 月开工（预计 2061 年 8 月完工）。</p>
|
||||
<p>目前两个舰级形成互补分工：羲和级以成熟技术聚焦火星与木星系统任务，万星源级凭借更高速度与续航能力向外推进至土星、海王星及更远深空。</p>
