"One minute to prepare, thirty seconds, twenty seconds, ten, nine, eight, seven...one, ignition, take off!"
boom!
Along with the 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 observation station reported that the rocket was flying normally and the telemetry signal tracking was normal."
Bang bang bang bang...
A burst of warm applause erupted from the guest seats in the Xinyuehu Command and Control Center hall. Compared with the guests watching the launch, the staff on site did not change at all. On the one hand, it was because they had already completed such an ordinary launch mission.
They are accustomed to it, and it does not arouse their excitement at all. The other reason 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 and his team's Jianmu-2 rocket technology is very mature and has carried out dozens of missions without any failure.
Very reliable. But who knows when the launch vehicle will put the satellite into orbit and when it will be considered successful. Before that, anything can happen.
There are too many such examples. For example, many well-known domestic and international launch vehicles are famous for their reliability, but they have all had related accidents, so they cannot be careless.
The big screen has also been 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.
state.
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 only need to look at the rocket.
The state of the ejected tail flame can determine whether the rocket's engine is working properly.
The shape of the tail flame ejected by a normal engine is very smooth, like running water, without any ripples. Once the rocket engine has a problem, the silky tail flame may change. It will look like calm.
Suddenly there is a stone in the flowing water blocking the water channel, causing waves and whirlpools in the flowing water.
Seeing the launch vehicle working so well, Wan Hongfei stirred up emotions in his heart. He has been dealing with aerospace for most of his life, so he can naturally see things that ordinary people can't. The performance of this rocket is so excellent.
, it’s so stable, as stable 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, separate primary and secondary levels."
"Jiuquan received it!"
"Yatuhai received it!"
"Yatuhai, transfer the remote control authority of 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-stage rocket that is continuing to rise, the guests present turned their attention to the return, landing and recovery process of the core-stage rocket.
For them, this is also the time when many of them watched the landing and recovery process of the 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 have mastered this technology now can be counted. And 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, and there are also telemetry pictures from the Yatuhai ground telemetry center, as well as system simulation pictures, and 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.
"Yatuhai, the rocket fairing has been successfully separated and thrown down."
"Yatuhai understands."
The large screen was then divided into two areas, and was re-divided into three equal areas. In this newly added area, the screen shot by the surveillance camera located on the two halves of the fairing was displayed.
As well as ground telemetry footage, as well as footage related to 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, we can see from the surveillance camera on the rocket that the rocket is getting closer and closer to the ground. And from the telemetry screen at the landing site, we can see that the core first-stage rocket is getting bigger and bigger, which means
As it gets farther and farther from the ground.
As the core-stage rocket gets closer and closer to the ground, the power of the rocket's engine is also increasing, and the thrust is getting larger and larger. This also makes the rocket's landing speed slower and slower. At a fast distance to the ground, about two seconds
At a distance of thirty meters, it was already able to hover, then slowly descended, and finally landed smoothly on the landing platform.
good!
Bang bang bang bang...
A burst of warm applause and cheers erupted from the guest seats in the Xinyuehu Command and Control Center hall. Such a smooth and smooth recycling process was really shocking, especially for many guests who did not watch the whole process. The scene just now was indeed
Shocking enough.
And just when everyone was shocked and talking, they saw the helicopter recovery team over there also taking action. Through the pod hanging on the helicopter, everyone could already see the two halves of the fairing, and they began to carry them one after another.
The paraglider is slowly gliding this way.
A helicopter suddenly changed direction, made a circle in the air, then flew past the side and behind the fairing, and accurately hooked the paraglider on the fairing with the tail hook hanging under the belly.
Then it was pulled up, and the entire paraglider pulled the fairing and hung under the belly of the helicopter.
