Not only Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming were present, everyone else was also surprised.
"Yes, stop launching. I'll help you make this decision." Wu Hao nodded and confirmed.
"What about the subsequent launch mission?" Zhou Xiangming asked involuntarily.
Wu Hao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry too much about that, just postpone it later."
"But..." Yu Chengwu hesitated for a while, then looked at Wu Hao and said solemnly: "I think we are confident that we can complete this launch mission."
Zhou Xiangming on the side also nodded: "Rocket launches are always accompanied by high risks. None of us can guarantee that the launch will be 100% successful. All we can do is to do the best possible preparations and ensure that the launch will be successful."
Risks are kept to a minimum.
Judging from the current situation, all data show that the rocket is currently in normal condition and there are no problems.
If this is the case, there is no need for us to interrupt the launch due to excessive worries. If we suspend it here, then there is no need for us to carry out future launch missions."
After hearing what the two said, Wu Hao stared at them for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "In that case, I respect your opinions.
From now on, I will not interfere with your work and will try to minimize the impact on your work. You don’t need to care about me, just treat me as an ordinary audience member."
Hearing his words, everyone present laughed bitterly. He said that, but who of you dared to treat him as an ordinary person?
Seeing everyone's smiles, Wu Hao also knew that his words could only make everyone feel relieved. It was basically impossible to ignore him completely.
So he no longer struggled with this topic, and then asked a question that he was more concerned about: "Okay, let's talk about the situation of the 'superiors'. Whether one stone and five stars can be successful this time depends on the superiors.
show."
Zhou Xiangming nodded and said: "After our several tests, the performance of the upper stage has been excellent. But after all, this is the first time it has been put into practice, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. We will also work hard to reduce this uncertainty."
Control it to a minimum to ensure that the five satellites are sent to different orbits.
According to the launch requirements, we will first send four satellites into a low-Earth inclined orbit this time, and the one-ton large satellite will be sent into a higher large elliptical polar orbit.
The orbits of the two are different, and it is completely necessary to rely on the upper stage for orbit control. If the orbit adjustment fails, then the satellite can only rely on the satellite to autonomously change the orbit. This solution is also possible, but it will greatly consume the energy on the satellite.
Fuel, reducing satellite life, was not entirely successful.
And according to the contract we signed with Party A, if this happens, Party A has the right to deduct the relevant loss expenses."
"One arrow and five stars, this can be regarded as a milestone achievement in the field of domestic private rockets. In addition to ourselves, many people are paying close attention to it." Wu Hao glanced at the crowd, and then continued: "If the launch can be successful, it will further
Establishing our status as the standard-bearer in launch vehicle technology in the domestic private aerospace field will also play a positive role in promoting our future development.
Isn't it surprising to everyone that we suddenly received so many new launch orders? This is the importance and support given to us by the leaders above."
"Is it the result of the successful launch of our reusable launch vehicle?" Zhou Xiangming asked.
Wu Hao nodded and smiled: "Yes, the leaders above are very happy about the success of our last rocket launch, and have instructed relevant departments to further support us so that we can also make due contributions to the construction of the country's aerospace industry.
contribute."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at everyone and smiled and said: "Let me tell you another piece of good news, that is, the national aerospace department has approved in principle the launch plan of the spacecraft we will launch at the end of July and early August.
Moreover, relevant experts also spoke highly of our spacecraft and expressed their intention to cooperate in related aspects in the future."
"Really, that's great." At this moment, everyone present immediately became excited.
Everyone has put a lot of effort into this experimental spacecraft under development, so they are naturally very happy about this good news. Especially when applying for a launch project, the competent authorities above are very concerned about the launch of this spacecraft.
Experiments have always been quite worrying.
His worries come from two aspects. The first aspect is that the relevant leaders of the competent departments above feel that Wu Hao and the others have taken too big a step and are a bit unstable. Therefore, they are advised to be more steady and take it step by step.
On the other hand, it is also because of the continuous increase in space debris in recent years. Therefore, the competent authorities are also somewhat uncertain about this experimental spacecraft and the possible risks.
Wu Hao can completely understand that the competent authorities have such concerns. However, this launch is imperative, so he can only organize relevant experts and personally communicate with the relevant leaders of the competent authorities.
In the end, after repeated arguments by relevant experts, the competent authorities above finally approved it.
In this way, the last obstacle to their launch of this experimental spacecraft is gone.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Wu Hao pressed his hands and continued: "However, our application for cooperation with the Tiangong Space Station was rejected. The leaders of the competent departments above said that the current cooperation is not mature enough.
If we can successfully experiment with this spacecraft this time, then there will be no problem with related cooperation next time."
"It's understandable. After all, this cooperation project still has certain risks." Yu Chengwu said with a smile: "And we don't expect it to succeed. We are just giving it a try."
Wu Hao nodded, then stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Okay, don't think about anything else, just work hard to complete this launch mission.
As for me, I won’t waste everyone’s time. Let’s go back to work. The launch is only a few hours away. Originally, I wanted to advise everyone to squint and take a break after work, but judging from everyone’s looks, they are destined to have no sleep tonight.
.”
After hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Wu Hao back to the rocket launch command and control hall. After nodding to him, they immediately returned to their respective launch preparations.
Because of the orbit and weather conditions, the launch time was chosen at around five o'clock in the morning.
This launch time is also a big test for team members who have never conducted night launches or early morning launches.
So tonight, the entire base is brightly lit, and everyone is waiting to see and wait for the launch to come.
