A big country of aerospace with black technology

After determining the model of the communication satellite, subsequent production and manufacturing soon began to follow up.

On the high-altitude simulation platform on the ground, the communication satellite still performed very well in many test items.

Whether it is in terms of aerodynamics or in terms of communication performance, it performs well.

So this is why the 101 Satellite Research Institute dared to let Zhang Xingyang and Chen Zhongyan go to see the satellite.

Although the satellite has the problem of overweight, there is no problem at all in terms of shape design and communication performance.

This is why Zhang Xingyang proposed to launch the 30 most important satellites directly in the first batch.

——

On June 1, at the Xichang Satellite Launch Site, in the control center.

As a super-large project with an investment of more than 10 billion in the first phase of construction, the first launch has attracted the attention of many people.

Sun Hongtao, who is in charge of the domestic aerospace, also rarely appeared in the control center of the launch site.

Whether most of the investment in the first phase of the construction project can produce results depends on the performance of Hongyan Rockets.

Whether it is success or failure depends on the results in the next few hours!

"Xiao Zhang, are you confident about the launch?"

Sun Hongtao, with a kind face, looked at Zhang Xingyang who was in charge of the entire launch work very kindly and asked.

In fact, among the many bigwigs present, most of them have no idea about this launch mission.

That's why I asked Zhang Xingyang, who is a professional, for his opinion, to give my little heart that is hanging high.

"Of course I am confident. Since we implemented the double return to zero management system the year before last, there have been no accidents!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the people present and said confidently:

"I believe that this launch mission will definitely be a complete success!"

After seeing Zhang Xingyang's confident and flamboyant expression on Zhang Xingyang's face, the non-space system staff members in the field seemed to have settled down, and they were not so nervous.

With the arrival of the launch window, other people no longer disturb Zhang Xingyang's work.

Began to quietly wait for the launch of the rocket.

Zhang Xingyang stood in front of the rocket launch podium, watching the red countdown on the big screen, and the seconds passed by without stopping.

It is still a familiar rocket launch site, and it is not the first time that Hongyan Rocket has carried out rocket launch work at this launch site.

All aspects are relatively familiar with the preparations for the Hongyan rocket before launch.

Therefore, all pre-launch inspections were completed quickly.

The only troublesome thing is actually only the spatial layout of the 30 satellites.

Because launching 30 medium-sized satellites at a time, which is not a microsatellite, is the first time such an attempt has been made in China.

Of course, such a launch mission can be regarded as the first time in the world.

After all, there are very few rockets that can reach the carrying capacity of the Hongyan rocket, and those heavy rockets that exceed the thrust of the Hongyan rocket.

It is generally used to launch exploration satellites to the moon or other planets in the solar system, and of course to launch manned spacecraft.

The purpose of such a rocket is very different from that of the Hongyan rocket, so there is no comparison between the two.

And for those missions whose number exceeds 30, many of the satellites they launch are microsatellites.

This kind of satellite generally has relatively special scientific research tasks.

The weight of a satellite may only weigh several kilograms.

Even if a hundred such satellites are launched at one time, it can't explain anything.

And this time the Hongyan rocket is about to launch the communication satellite into the sky. Although it does not weigh several tons, it is not comparable to those big brothers flying in geostationary orbit, but compared with those tiny satellites weighing only a few kilograms, it can be regarded as a behemoth .

As the launch time approached minute by minute, many engineers in the launch site gradually evacuated from the launch site.

The huge mechanical arm of the launcher loosened the support that originally supported the rocket.

The rocket officially entered the countdown time before launch.

At this time, whether it was the aerospace staff in the control center or other people who came to witness the construction of the satellite communication network, they almost held their breath.

In the huge control center, the silence was terrifying at this time, even if a needle fell on the ground, it seemed to be able to hear clearly.

Some people with good enough hearing can even hear the breathing of people around them, as well as their rapid heartbeat!

"Rocket launch countdown!"

With the passage of time, the launch opportunity that determines the fate of the entire low-orbit satellite communication network project is coming soon.

"One minute countdown!"

With only one minute left before the rocket launch, even Zhang Xingyang, who has always been very confident, inevitably became nervous at this time.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

"seven!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"emission!"

The countdown ended little by little, and Zhang Xingyang pressed the bright red rocket launch button firmly with his fingers!

The slender tail of the rocket shoots out blue flames!

Even after passing through the diversion tank under the rocket, it is still tens of meters long!

Incomparably violent chemical reactions took place in the fuel chamber of the rocket engine, where tons and tons of liquid oxygen and kerosene reacted violently.

During the burning process of countless kerosene, tens of thousands of liters of high-pressure gas, passed through the eleven tailpipes of the thrust system, and violently sprayed to the ground.

The resulting powerful thrust lifted the rocket weighing hundreds of tons from the launch pad!

The rocket took off, and after less than a few seconds, it had already flown into the sky relative to the plane.

"Shuangcheng, optical tracking is normal!"

"Yangcheng, radar tracking is normal!"

"Yuance 6, the radar tracking is normal!"

Various optical monitoring stations and radar stations along the way of the rocket flight reported that the flight path of the rocket was normal.

Many people present breathed a sigh of relief. After all, judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no major problem with the flight process of the first-level rocket.

"The first-stage rocket separated successfully!"

"Successful ignition of the secondary rocket motor!"

"The first stage rocket is returning to the landing site!"

One after another, the good news was sent back to the control center.

Everyone was encouraged by so much good news and worked harder.

"The second-stage rocket has reached the predetermined orbital height!"

"The No. 1 communication satellite has been successfully released!"

Hearing that the No. 1 satellite was successfully released, cheers erupted in the entire control center.

But soon, everyone returned to the intense work.

Moreover, at this time, the personnel responsible for the testing of communication satellites also began to devote themselves to the testing of satellites and started their own work.

"The No. 2 communication satellite was released successfully!"

"The No. 30 communication satellite was successfully released!"

"All communication satellites have completed orbiting!"

Everyone in the control center, even if they are not aerospace system workers, can feel the excitement of other people on the scene.

"I declare that the Hongyan rocket has succeeded with one arrow and thirty stars!"

As the commander-in-chief of the entire launch mission, Zhang Xingyang announced that the launch was successful after confirming that the satellites were working normally!
