Chapter 2474 Shocking launch/recovery

"One minute to prepare, thirty seconds, twenty seconds, ten, nine, eight, seven... one, ignite, take off!"

boom!

Accompanied by a huge roar, bursts of flames and dust blew up from the bottom of the rocket. Under the spray of these orange-red flames, the rocket slowly began to take off.

"The rocket ignited successfully,"

"Enter program turn."

"Procedural turn completed!"

"The ground-based optical observatory reported that the rocket was flying normally and the telemetry signal tracking was normal."

Bang bang bang bang...

A burst of warm applause broke out from the guest seats in the Xinyuehu Command and Control Center hall, but compared to the guests watching the launch, the staff on site did not change at all. On the one hand, this is because they have become accustomed to this kind of ordinary launch mission, which does not arouse their excitement at all. Another point is that this is just the ignition and launch stage. It is not too late to applaud and celebrate whenever the satellite is put into space orbit.

The big screen switched to a telephoto lens of the base, and between the endless desert wall and the cloudless blue sky, a white rocket soared from the ground and hit the sky.

Everyone in the Xinyuehu Command and Control Center hall also stopped talking and watched the rocket launch process carefully. Although Wu Hao's Jianmu-2 rocket technology is very mature and has carried out dozens of missions without any failure, it is very reliable. But who knows when the launch vehicle will put the satellite into orbit and when it will be considered a success. Before that, anything could happen.

There are too many such examples. For example, many famous launch vehicles at home and abroad are known for their reliability, but they have all had related accidents, so they should not be careless.

The big screen also switched to three screens. The middle is a normal color telephoto remote sensing screen. On the left side of this screen is a black and white infrared remote sensing screen. This screen is clearer and you can see the tail flame ejected from the rocket. .

The picture on the far right is from the own lens on the rocket body. These lenses are located on the rocket body, including the position of the ground engine. You can very clearly see the flight conditions of the rocket when it rises, as well as the working of the rocket engine. body.

To judge how the rocket is working, we not only need to look at the flight attitude and speed of the rocket, but also the jet shape of the rocket engine tail flame. In fact, for many experienced aerospace experts, they can judge whether the rocket's engine is working normally just by looking at the state of the tail flame ejected by the rocket.

The shape of the tail flame emitted by a normal engine is very smooth, like running water, without any ripples. Once something goes wrong with the rocket engine, the silky tail flame may change. It's like a stone suddenly blocking the water channel in the calm flowing water, causing waves and whirlpools in the flowing water.

Seeing the launch vehicle working so well, Wan Hongfei felt a surge in his heart. He has been dealing with aerospace for most of his life, so he can naturally see some things that ordinary people cannot. The performance of this rocket is so excellent and so stable, as steady as an old dog, without any ripples.

It is really amazing that such an excellent rocket is produced by a private aerospace company. You must know that this kind of rocket engine is beyond the control of most countries in the world.

Just when Wan Hongfei was surprised and sighing, a report came from the radio.

"First and second level separation!"

"Attention all units, first and second levels are separated."

"Jiuquan received it!"

"Yatuhai received it!"

"Yatu Hai, transfer the control rights to the core first stage rocket."

"Yatuhai understands."

As the announcement came out, the screen on the big screen was also divided into two halves. One half of the screen showed the image of the core second-stage rocket continuing to rise while pushing the load, while the other half of the screen showed the image of the core first-stage rocket landing.

Compared to the core two-stage rocket that is continuing to rise, the guests present turned their attention to the return, landing and recovery process of the core first-stage rocket.

For them, it's also a lot of them

People watch the landing and recovery process of Jianmu series rockets in the Space Command and Control Center.

They have been admiring Haoyu Aerospace's Jianmu series rockets for a long time, especially the rocket recycling it masters, which has attracted the attention of many people.

You know, the number of countries and companies that now master this technology can be counted. The related technologies of Haoyu Aerospace's Jianmu series rockets are among the best in this field.

This half of the screen has also been divided into multiple small screens. The perspective is from the lens on top of the core first-stage rocket, as well as the telemetry pictures from the Yatuhai ground telemetry center, the system simulation pictures, and the Yatuhai landing. Panoramic view of the field.

"Throw the fairing!"

Just when everyone was paying attention, a new announcement came from the hall, and the fairing had been dropped.

"Yatu Hai, the rocket fairing has been successfully separated and thrown down."

"Yatuhai understands."

The large screen was then divided into two areas, and then re-divided into three equally divided areas. The newly added area displays images captured by surveillance cameras located on the two halves of the fairing, as well as ground telemetry images, as well as relevant images from the helicopter recovery team.

Such a wonderful picture made the guests who were watching seem a little dizzy. They looked here and there, not wanting to miss any of the excitement.

On the core first-stage rocket side, you can see from the surveillance camera on the rocket that the rocket is getting closer to the ground. From the telemetry footage at the landing site, we can see that the core-stage rocket is getting bigger and bigger, which means it is getting farther and farther away from the ground.

As the core-stage rocket gets closer and closer to the ground, the power of the rocket's engine is constantly increasing, and the thrust is getting larger and larger. This also makes the landing speed of the rocket slower and slower. At a fast distance to the ground, about twenty or thirty meters away, it can already hover, then slowly descend, and finally land smoothly on the landing platform.

good!

Bang bang bang bang...

A burst of warm applause and cheers erupted from the guest seats in the lobby of the Xinyuehu Command and Control Center. Such a smooth and smooth recycling process is really shocking, especially for many guests who did not watch the whole process. The scene just now is indeed shocking enough.

And just as everyone was shocked and talking, they saw the helicopter recovery team over there also making moves. Through the pod hanging on the helicopter, everyone can already see the two halves of the fairing, which began to slowly glide this way with the paraglider one after the other.

A helicopter suddenly changed direction, circled in the air, and then flew past the side of the fairing. It accurately hooked the paraglider on the fairing with the tailhook hanging under the belly. Then it was pulled up, and the entire paraglider hung under the belly of the helicopter with its fairing.
