Different from other launch vehicles, for Wu Hao and others, the successful launch of this Jianmu-7 can only be half the success. The other half is that the first stage rocket and fairing of this rocket must land smoothly before it can be considered successful.
All successful.
Of course, this Jianmu-7 did not have a fairing, so the first-stage rocket landed successfully, which became another focus of everyone's attention.
However, compared to this first-stage rocket, everyone is obviously more concerned about the flying second-stage rocket and the Walker 3 unmanned cargo experimental spacecraft carried on it.
The flight is still continuing, and now only a flickering bright spot can be seen in the telemetry signal, which is the tail flame ejected by the second-stage rocket. Technical experts rely on observing the flickering state of the tail flame to determine whether the rocket is operating normally.
A related digital demonstration screen appeared on the big screen, showing that the rocket had broken through the Kármán line and was in flight. Now is the most critical moment in the entire rocket launch process, which is the second-stage rocket and the Walker 3 unmanned cargo experiment
Whether the spacecraft can successfully escape.
Many rockets malfunction at this stage, including the self-developed rocket that the country had pinned its hopes on a few years ago. This was because the second-stage rocket failed to separate from the satellite it was carrying in time, ultimately leading to launch failure.
In addition, after the Walker 3 unmanned cargo experimental spacecraft separates from the secondary rocket, whether the solar panel can be opened normally is also a key node. Generally speaking, as long as the solar panel is successfully deployed, it means that the launch has achieved success.
A complete success.
Of course, exceptions are made under special circumstances, but this is a situation that rarely occurs.
The second stage rocket shuts down!
Ships and arrows separated!
Bang bang bang bang...
At this time, the excited crowd across from the launch site, as well as the staff and Wu Hao in the Xinyuehu command and control hall, both on site and on live TV, all applauded and cheered.
I have been tense for so long and can finally be released.
However, everyone was not excited for long because the first stage rocket had also landed.
Through the surveillance camera on the sea landing platform, Wu Hao and the others could clearly see that the long tail flame of the first-stage rocket was getting closer and closer to the ground.
Through the surveillance camera on the observation ship about five or six hundred meters away from the landing platform at sea, you can clearly see that the first-stage rocket sprayed a long tail flame, fell from the sky, and then landed smoothly on the landing platform.
.
The same scene was also completely captured by the surveillance cameras on the sea landing platform and the first-stage rocket.
good!
At this moment, the entire command and control hall became a sea of joy. Everyone could no longer hold back and cheered and jumped.
While everyone was cheering, the big screen switched to the outside surveillance camera of the Walker 3 unmanned cargo experimental spacecraft.
When the spacecraft came down, we could see the earth in the middle of the night, and the lights of the city could be seen below. Judging from the topography, the upper left corner should be the Japanese island. And a trace of light could be seen on the horizon in the distance.
But what everyone is paying attention to is not this charming and magnificent scenery, but the unfolding solar panels.
The applause rang out again, and Wu Hao also stood up, applauding and high-fiving with others in celebration.
After celebrating, Wu Hao looked at the time, and then said to Zhang Jun and the others: "Let's go, it's getting late, go back and rest quickly."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun, who was still excited, waved his hands and said: "I'm not going back. I'll find a place to sleep here tonight and wait to dock with the space station tomorrow morning."
It's up to you, I'm going back! Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this, yawned, and then said goodbye to Zhang Jun and the others. Then he went home with Yang Fan. Compared to others, Yang Fan also seemed calmer, maybe something like this
He must have been through too much.
After returning home and looking at Lin Wei who was already sleeping soundly, Wu Hao washed himself gently and then got into bed. Not long after he lay down, Lin Wei turned over from the side and hugged him.
And asked in a hazy voice: "Why did you come back? Was the launch successful?"
It worked, and I came back as soon as it was over. Wu Hao smiled, hugged Lin Wei and said softly: "Go to sleep!"
Well! Lin Wei snuggled into his arms for a few times, and then fell into a deep sleep. Wu Hao, who was a little tired, also asked about the fragrance of Lin Wei's hair and fell asleep.
…
When I woke up, it was bright. I looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock. Lin Wei beside me had long since disappeared.
After freshening up and putting on clean home clothes, Wu Hao walked down and found Lin Wei standing in the living room staring at the big screen. On the big screen, there was information about their Walker 3 unmanned cargo experiment.
Live broadcast related to the docking of the spacecraft and the space station.
Seeing Wu Hao coming down, Lin Wei smiled and turned to greet him: "Morning, why don't you sleep a little longer? You came back so late last night."
Morning! Wu Hao came down with a smile and said, "I can't sleep anymore. Have you started docking?"
It hasn't started yet, right now! Lin Wei responded, and then said to Wu Hao: "I have prepared breakfast for you, go and eat it quickly."
Wu Hao smiled and nodded, then walked to the dining table, where there were steamed buns, tofu puffs, salad, and eggs and bacon.
Wu Hao carried the plate, walked to the living room, sat down, and then watched the live broadcast on the big screen.
Several experts inside were introducing the docking process and related news about the Walker 3 unmanned cargo experimental spacecraft.
As he was watching, Coco's voice came.
Sir, would you like to answer the call from Mr. Zhang Jun?
Come in. Wu Hao smiled slightly when he heard this and said immediately.
OK, connected!
Then a small window appeared on the side of the big screen, inside it was Zhang Jun. He looked at Wu Hao and said excitedly: "Are you up? Where are you? The docking is about to begin. Aren't you coming?"
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "You can watch it at home, it's the same thing when I watch it on TV."
Come on, there is nothing interesting to watch on TV. Forget it if you don’t come. Zhang Jun showed a disappointed expression, then showed the hall and said to Wu Hao: "Okay, that's it. We are about to connect. Hang up first."
Got it!"
Immediately, Zhang Jun ended the call. Seeing this, Wu Hao shook his head slightly.
Lin Wei, on the other hand, laughed: "Didn't Fatty go home last night?"
Well, I said I wanted to watch the connection, so I just stayed in the company all night. Wu Hao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Wei smiled at him and said, "It was so late last night. In fact, you can rest in the company without going back. I don't mind."
When Wu Hao heard this, he smiled at him and said, "I will definitely come back if I say I will come back. How could I let you guard an empty room by yourself?"
Tsk, you came back and disturbed my rest. Lin Wei smiled at him and said.
