On the big screen, three orange-painted helicopters were beginning to recover the two-flap fairings.
Through the picture transmitted back by the infrared night vision low-light lens of the high-altitude patrol drone, it can be seen very clearly that the two fairings are gliding under the red and white parafoils.
A helicopter began to fly around the periphery. It was a command aircraft, a backup helicopter, and an emergency helicopter. It not only commanded the aerial recovery and hoisting of the entire fairing, but also served as a backup helicopter. When the other two helicopters
After the helicopter recovery fails, or encounters a problem, the helicopter will be replaced by the helicopter to complete the mission.
In addition, it also serves as an emergency helicopter. After all, this kind of aerial recovery and hoisting work is also a relatively dangerous job, so there must be such an emergency helicopter on standby to respond to various emergencies at any time.
situation.
I saw the first helicopter gradually stretching its height and starting to follow the fairing paraglider. Then it suddenly cut in from behind and controlled the helicopter to accurately hook the paraglider. There is only one chance. If a mistake is made,
Then the chances of being allowed to do it a second time will be very slim.
However, those who participated in this fairing recovery mission were all veteran pilots who had gone through more than a dozen missions and were very experienced in this. Although the fairings recovered this time were relatively large in size and weight, for these pilots, there was no
Too big a problem.
I saw two helicopters one after another very cleanly using the hook hanging below the helicopter to hook the fairing paraglider, and then hung it under the helicopter.
The two halves of the fairing were suspended under the helicopter, slowly swaying, and the two helicopters flew to land while suspended.
On the other side, on the large screen in the front row of the command hall, there is still a two-stage rocket pushing the lunar cargo transportation system to fly outside the atmosphere. Through the external camera of the lunar cargo system, you can clearly see the full picture of the earth below, although at this moment
It's in the night hemisphere, but the sunlight in the distance has already revealed its dazzling light.
The working time of the second-stage rocket is obviously much longer than that of the first-stage rocket, because the destination of the lunar cargo transportation system it recommends is the moon, which is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, so the second-stage rocket needs to work for a long time.
Try to transport the lunar cargo transportation system to a place high enough and far enough, and give it a high enough speed so that the orbital module of the lunar cargo transportation system can escape the gravity of the earth and go to the moon.
Of course, even if you reach the moon, you cannot escape the gravitational pull of the earth. In fact, the moon is firmly attracted by the gravitational pull of the entire earth.
It is precisely because of this that if you want to move away from the earth, you need a large enough thrust.
Now everyone is waiting for the arrival of the last exciting moment of the entire launch process, whether it is all the staff in the command and control hall, Wu Hao and others, or those gathered outside the entire command and launch hall at this moment, or those around the Nanhai launch site
The tourists who gathered were all holding their mobile phones and other devices and staring at the screen, looking forward to the arrival of this moment. Not to mention the countless viewers and netizens who watched the live broadcast, who were also waiting for the arrival of this moment.
Looking at the stopwatch above, everyone showed expectant and nervous expressions. Even Wu Hao couldn't help but stare at the ever-changing time numbers, looking forward to the arrival of this moment.
Suddenly, the nozzle of the second-stage rocket on the big screen began to stop ejecting material, and then it could be seen very clearly through the external camera of the lunar cargo transportation system that the second-stage rocket had separated and gradually moved away.
Similarly, the surveillance camera on the second-stage rocket also captured this scene. The entire lunar cargo transportation system appeared white under the sunlight, slowly moving away from the camera and flying into the dark deep space.
"The second stage rocket shuts down and the weapon and arrow separate!"
At the same time, a report came over the radio.
At this moment, the hall that had been suppressed for a long time was completely boiling, and almost everyone started to stand up and cheer and celebrate. Whether it was the launch system, rocket system, or payload system, some in the north breathed a long sigh of relief, and then cheered and celebrated.
.
Of course, the funniest thing is the rocket system, because their mission was completed smoothly and perfectly. Whether it was the entire launch process, the rocket flight process, or the core first stage rocket and two boosters, as well as the recovery of the fairing
The work went very smoothly and was completed successfully.
The second thing I am happy about is of course the launch system. The entire launch and flight process of the rocket was very flawless, which also means that the mission has been a complete success. Although it has not been finally announced, it is basically a certainty.
Finally, there is the payload system, which is the technical team of the lunar cargo transportation system. Although the mission of the lunar cargo transportation system has just begun, the initial and most dangerous stage has been passed.
Completing the rocket's journey to space should be said to be the most helpless and tense moment for the entire lunar cargo transportation system technical team. Because this is like directly handing over one's destiny to others and being unable to control it oneself.
But now that the launch is finally successful, and now their own destiny is back in their own hands, this feeling is better and more reliable. The previous launch process was successfully completed, which gave them a good start and inspired them to continue working hard.
Make sure this task is completed perfectly.
Of course, after celebrating, everyone stared at the big screen again. Because there is the last step, which is also a very important step. It can be said that the success or failure of the entire mission will be measured.
On the big screen, you can see through the external camera of the lunar cargo transportation system that the two halves of the solar wing battery sails located on the entire orbital module are slowly unfolding. In an instant, the entire space command and control hall was filled with applause and cheers
, I was really happy this time, thinking this meant that the launch mission was a complete success.
Now everyone can wait for the final moment, which is also the last step of this launch mission.
"Dear reporters, friends, and comrades, according to the remote sensing calculations of the Anxi Measurement and Control Center, and confirmed by the Beijing Space Center, the lunar cargo transportation system spacecraft launched this time has accurately entered the Earth-moon transfer orbit. I announce that the Jianmu-9 &
The launch mission of the lunar cargo transport spacecraft was a complete success."
As Gao Jinguang finished the announcement, a classic big red background picture appeared on the big screen. One side of the entire picture was the breakthrough of the moon, the other side was a model picture of the flying lunar cargo system, and the side was this time
Jianmu-9 spacecraft.
In the middle of the entire screen, there is a line of large characters in cursive script that reads:
"Warm congratulations on the complete success of the Jianmu-9 & lunar cargo transport spacecraft launch mission!"
