The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 43 The Heavenly Palace “ascends”!

"Yes, the news just now, they are doing a live TV broadcast." The subordinate replied.

"There was no news at all before, but at this time... they did this on purpose!" Anderson immediately knew that the China Space Administration had deliberately chosen to launch the space station on the day when the World Astronautical Congress was held.

This timing is terrible. As we all know, the International Space Station, which is led by the United States in research and development, will be decommissioned in three years! At that time, if countries wanted to enter space for scientific research, they had to think of new ways.

They originally wanted to discuss this matter at the World Astronautical Congress. The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration planned to take the lead and let various national aerospace agencies jointly contribute money to build a more advanced space station.

Who knew that the China Space Administration would actually launch their space station at this time! If they succeed, the development direction of this matter will be beyond the control of the NASA!

"Open it and take a look!" Anderson wanted to know very much how far China Aerospace Administration has achieved and what does their space station look like?

The subordinate turned on the smart TV screen. On the screen was the China Changhai Satellite Launch Center. On the Xingkong-2 nuclear-powered rocket, the life space module of the Tiangong Space Station weighing more than 100 tons was installed.

"Is that their space station module?" Anderson's blue pupils suddenly dilated. He has worked for the National Space Administration for more than ten years and is also a participant in the International Space Station program. He is very familiar with the space station!

He had seen the International Space Station many times before it went to space. The modules of the International Space Station seemed to be much smaller than this!

"Why is it so big? Can they send it up?" Anderson asked in surprise, but his subordinates couldn't answer him because he didn't know.

Not only Anderson, but also aerospace representatives from other countries soon learned the news.

When it was time to discuss aerospace issues, the aerospace representatives of each country were absent-minded and had been secretly paying attention to the launch of the Chinese Space Station.

…

Huaxia, Changhai Satellite Launch Center, National Science and Technology Channel TV reporter Lu Jiajia is broadcasting the situation at the scene in real time.

"You should be able to see that on the launcher, the life space module of our Tiangong Space Station has been installed on the Xingkong-2 nuclear thermal rocket, and the power space module has been installed on the space aircraft Xingzhou."

"In another minute, the rocket and aerospace plane will take off and send the Tiangong space station, independently developed and manufactured by our country, into low-Earth orbit! After completing the docking of the two modules, Xingzhou will return immediately ground, and send the workspace module into space for docking..."

In front of the TV, many viewers are watching this program.

"Dad, come on, the space station is about to be launched!" Du Xingyu's mother, Li Rong, sat in front of the TV and greeted him.

"Coming, coming!" Du Zekang quickly came to the TV with a cup of tea.

After Du Xingyu became a senior rocket engineer at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the two of them changed their houses to live in a high-end community with tight security and spacious rooms.

Du Zekang specially bought a large-screen Internet TV just to see clearly when the spacecraft was launched.

"I want to inform everyone quickly!" Li Rong quickly sent a message in the "Love and Love Family" group chat for everyone to watch together.

Du Xingyu was not idle at this time. As usual, he started the live broadcast.

In less than ten minutes, the popularity of the live broadcast room exceeded 3 million and is still rising.

"I knew that the space station must have something to do with it, otherwise the anchor wouldn't have posted that video!" Wei Xuan, a student at the Air Force Aerospace University, posted excitedly.

"I want to see the launch!"

"What does the space station look like? I just went to the toilet!"

"Tiangong Tiangong, palace in heaven!"

Du Xingyu pointed the lens at the launch pad in the distance and adjusted the focus so that the audience could clearly see the space station module on the launch pad.

From the outside, the space station module is just a large, airtight white metal can with nothing special about it.

Du Xingyu said: "We'd better go to the command center, where we can connect the astronauts via video to see what's going on inside."

The space station is also a spacecraft, so astronauts are also arranged inside. This time there will be four astronauts, two men and two women, responsible for docking and stationing tasks. They will stay in space for half a year until the next shift change. .

In the command center, the four astronauts are ready and staying in the life space module and power space module respectively.

In addition, there are two aerospace plane pilots, Tian Qing and Wu Pingfan, who are responsible for driving the Xingzhou.

"Astronaut Zeng Qi, astronaut Hong Wei, astronaut Wang Tong, and astronaut Zhu Nan are ready, please give instructions!" reported the four astronauts entering the space station on the split screen.

"Thirty seconds countdown, stabilize the spacecraft and prepare for liftoff!" the commander shouted.

"receive!"

"It's about to take off!" Du Xingyu reminded the audience, "Ten, nine, eight...three, two, one, start!"

The Xingkong-2 nuclear thermal rocket started one step faster. It spewed out a strong heat wave and rushed into space!

The Starship took off. Its speed in the atmosphere was slower than that of the rocket, but it quickly broke through the clouds and accelerated to more than six times the speed of sound!

"It's airborne!"

"Huacheng No. 3 High School sent a congratulatory message!"

“The Heavenly Palace is flying!!!”

"Wuhu, take off!"

The audience in the live broadcast room congratulated, but the most surprised person was not them, but the aerospace representatives from various countries who were secretly paying attention at the Washington Convention Center.

"China's Tiangong Space Station has launched!"

"China will also have its own space station!"

"It's amazing! I never thought they were actually doing this project!"

"They are too happy!" Anderson looked at the screen coldly, "The space station still needs to dock in space and fly stably!"

This process will take several hours.

Anderson returned to the meeting place, and he keenly discovered that everyone's discussions had turned into meaningless nonsense.

The aerospace representatives of these countries have their thoughts in mind. If the Tiangong is successfully connected, the situation in the aerospace industry will change.

At this juncture, some people no longer have the same heart as NASA!

"That's the end of the morning's discussion. You can go have a meal and we'll continue in the afternoon!" Anderson announced that the morning's opening ceremony was over and everyone would gather again in the afternoon.

While they were enjoying lunch, both Xingkong-2 and Xingzhou had already flown out of the atmosphere, sending the two modules of the Tiangong Space Station to the established low-Earth orbit.

In the Huaxia Changhai Command Center, an electronic prompt sounded.

"The main rocket body of Xingkong 2 has separated from the Tiangong life space module and is ready to be recovered on the ground. The module continues to fly and is expected to reach the target coordinates in two hours."

"Everything is normal on the Xingzhou. It is expected to reach the target coordinates in 1 hour and 31 minutes."

After entering space, the transportation of Xingzhou is more convenient than that of Xingkong 2. After all, a space plane still needs to be in space to realize its convenience!

Thanks to Mark Yi, Yin Yin Breath Golden Cup, 6666 Hani, Mo Mo Ji Ji, and Promise is the bubble that keeps bursting for the rewards.
