As the countdown entered one hour, a high-pitched male voice came from the lobby broadcast, which also made Wu Hao, the reporters who were allowed in, and the family members of the employees who were watching outside at this time, including the family members of the accompanying employees,
Lin Wei and others who were watching together suddenly became energetic.
Compared to the increasingly lively atmosphere outside, the atmosphere inside the command and control hall has also become solemn. All staff members are calm and paying close attention to the various data on the screen.
In addition to the various data and information that are constantly being broadcast, there are also the whispers of many people communicating in low voices, as well as the constant sound of phone calls and typing on keyboards.
Although there were constant voices following, there was no panic at all. Everyone was in their places and all work was progressing smoothly. After all, for these experienced technicians, whether they are the staff of the launch system, the rocket or the payload system, everyone
They all have rich experience, and this situation has long been commonplace.
Compared with Wu Hao, who was sitting quietly in the guest seats and watching, Zou Xiaodong, who came here for the first time, seemed a little curious. From time to time, he asked people around him to ask questions, and even took out his own transparent foldable phone.
I took a few selfies with the device.
"Thirty minutes to prepare, the swing pole is released!"
As the command was issued, there were only a few "beep-beep-beep" sounds, and several swing rods surrounding Jianmu-9 immediately opened up and separated from the rocket body.
"The swing rod is disengaged."
As the pendulum falls off, it means that the external circuit connection between the rocket and the launch tower has been interrupted. The rocket no longer needs external power supply, but uses its own battery system for independent power supply.
The rocket enters the independent self-check program.
Self-test data is being verified.
When the rocket is disconnected from the external cable, it will be in the launch state. Generally, a self-check procedure will be performed in this state to ensure that the rocket body systems are operating normally.
The self-inspection procedure is completed, each system of the rocket is operating normally, and the launch can be carried out on time.
Ten minutes to prepare!
Attention all units, it is time to prepare for ten minutes.
All personnel within the launch area are to be evacuated.
Dongguai reports that all personnel in the launch area have been evacuated to a safe area, and all personnel in the launch area have been evacuated.
"Five minutes to prepare!"
"three minutes!"
"One minute to prepare!"
"Thirty seconds!"
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Three, two, one, ignite, take off!
"take off!"
Sizzling, as several beams of sparks like fireworks were ejected from the engine port at the rear of the rocket, the huge tail jet engine and the tail jet engine on the two main thrusters were ignited, and then a huge flame was sprayed out.
At the same time as the flames are ejected, there are also huge water jets ejected from around the launch platform. These water jets will be ejected onto the entire launch platform and launch tower to reduce the high risk caused by the huge tail flame ejected from the rocket's tail engine, thus
Prevent the launch platform and launch tower from being burned by the high temperature of the rocket.
The huge tail flame collides with these water flows, thus creating a huge white mist. The white mist contains the smoke emitted by the rocket's tail flame, but more of it is water vapor.
Because our country's rocket launches use the free-ascent method, the rocket's take-off speed is relatively slow. It is not like the rockets of the former Soviet Union or the concentrated release method used by some other rockets, which is to first lift the already ignited rocket.
Pull or hold it, let it gather strength, and wait until the rocket's thrust reaches the preset value before releasing it, so that the rocket can take off at a faster speed.
However, this method is relatively violent, and only rough countries like this will use this launch method. The current mainstream is still the free launch method, allowing the rocket to take off slowly on its own.
In the midst of peace, the Jianmu-9 heavy-lift launch vehicle lifted up the lunar cargo transportation system, ejected a huge tail flame and began to slowly take off.
Violent tail flames were ejected from the engine mouth, making violent roars that could tear the air. As these roars were transmitted, objects several kilometers away from the rocket seemed to be vibrating.
Even in the launch command and control hall several kilometers away, Wu Hao and the others felt such a huge roar.
"Make a procedural turn!"
The rocket's rising angle began to tilt, as if a sharp sword began to penetrate the sky.
Tourists who had been waiting all night several kilometers away finally got their wish and cheered when they saw such a magnificent launch scene.
The huge roar was accompanied by vibrations, making all the onlookers deeply feel the huge energy emanating from this behemoth.
This kind of shocking feeling of launch can only be truly experienced by visiting the scene in person. The tourists couldn't help but show their excited expressions and jumped for joy.
"Position No. 1 reports that the rocket tracking is normal and the telemetry signal is normal."
…
In the launch command and control hall, everyone is working in an orderly manner, and various data and information are constantly being updated and broadcast.
This kind of launch mission has been carried out many times here, so a launch team with excellent quality and skills has been trained, so everyone handles it very calmly, calmly and professionally.
Through the high-definition surveillance camera on the rocket, Wu Hao and the others could clearly see the first-person view of the rocket on the big screen. They saw that the rocket began to rise slowly, getting further and further away from the ground.
The weather tonight is very good, the air is very transparent, and all the waiting tourists can finally see the magnificent scene of the rocket and the moon echoing in the sky, shining together with the moon.
As the rocket gets higher from the moon in the sky, it becomes a bright spot in everyone's field of vision.
On the large screen in the command and control hall of the Nanhai Launch Site, through the remote sensing data signal of Zhanjian-1, everyone can clearly see its real-time infrared signal.
The rocket is still flying steadily. It can be seen from the infrared remote sensing signal screen that the three wakes ejected by the rocket are as smooth as drawing.
This is also the normal working state of the rocket engine. This picture also shows that the rocket engine is very stable during operation and combustion, without any fluctuations.
The digital time on one side of the big screen is still changing, and everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the arrival of the first link.
As the rocket tail flames in the infrared picture flickered, the rocket changed from the three tail flames gathered together just now to three tail flames. The brightness of the tail flames on both sides was higher than the bright spot in the middle.
Much weaker.
Booster separation!
Bang bang bang bang...
In the entire outdoor viewing platform, all the family members of the watching employees applauded enthusiastically after hearing the broadcast, and the entire applause has also spread to the center.
