Just as most areas in the north are experiencing the heaviest snowfall since the beginning of winter this year, on the coast of South China, under the attention of everyone, a huge rocket begins to slowly transfer to the launch tower.
Although the distance between the vertical assembly plant and the launch tower is only about three kilometers, it took more than three hours to travel, which is equivalent to traveling only about one thousand meters per hour.
Such a slow speed is equivalent to a turtle crawling, but considering that this is a transfer launch platform of nearly 2,000 tons carrying a launch vehicle and assembly with a take-off mass of nearly 3,000 tons, then this speed is considered enough.
It's fast.
The Jianmu-9 and Lunar Cargo-2 spacecraft combination has been prepared and tested in the test factory at the Nanhai launch site for more than a month, and tested for more than half a month after being hoisted in the vertical assembly factory. Today, this
The rocket pushed up the lunar cargo spacecraft assembly, finally like a young lady emerging from the palace, revealing its mysterious veil to everyone.
Compared with the combination of the Lunar Cargo-1 spacecraft and the Jianmu-9 rocket, this rocket combination adopts a new spraying method, so it looks particularly spectacular.
The entire Jianmu-9 rocket is white in color and has an overall length of 75 meters. It is very tall and majestic. The top of the rocket is a long fairing. This fairing is also reused after recycling and refurbishing the fairing of the previous Jianmu-9 rocket.
Use. The entire fairing is very huge, about 289 meters, with a diameter of 12.5 meters.
What is the concept? In that fairing, two buses are currently placed, and then seven more large cars can be added. Although it may look too big from a distance, but when compared with people, it can be seen that the fairing is not
Young.
On the cowl is a blue flag, flag
According to international conventions on aerospace, one side of the rocket flag represents the country to which the country belongs, and the other side represents that the rocket is the launch vehicle on the Haoyu Space Flag.
On the two flags are a row of English abbreviations for the country and Haoyu Aerospace.
On top of the rocket is the transfer platform of the launch site, which cannot be called a launch platform. It has the same internal structure as other transfer platforms at the Nanhai Space Launch Site, except that it looks a bit smaller.
Those seven words represent an identity, as well as an image and a manifestation of strength. Although there are fewer and fewer countries in the world that can launch carriers, heavy-duty carrier rockets like that can afford it.
There are only a handful of countries and companies, but it is still the top presence in the aerospace field.
Among those people were the staff of the launch site system, the technical staff of the Haoyu space rocket system, the lunar cargo spacecraft system, the staff of the aerospace system, as well as some media reporters and guests.
Not to mention that what is carried outside the fairing is the seventh lunar cargo spacecraft. At present, there are only a few companies in the country that can transport small quantities of cargo to the moon and build lunar scientific research stations under the moon.
Above the core seventh stage, there is no longer the core first stage part of the rocket and the two boosters on both sides of the rocket. Like the Falcon Heavy rocket, the two boosters and the core first stage used by the Jianmu-4 rocket
They are all the same, which is equivalent to eight core-stage rockets bundled together. Only one rocket is used as a core-stage rocket to carry the weight, and the other two rockets are used as boosters.
The most eye-catching thing on the upper end of the core first stage rocket and the two boosters is of course their sturdy landing gear that has not been folded. Although the whole body is now folded down and folded away, you can still feel their
Huge.
In addition, Haoyu Technology and Micro Media also sent out their own technical reporting teams to live broadcast the entire launch process.
It was just that the mission attracted more attention. For publicity purposes, the rocket body was repainted. The entire rocket body was in a white tone, making it look very elegant.
On the transfer platform, eight national flags are printed. The final one is of course the conspicuous national flag, and on both sides are the flags of Haoyu Aerospace and the aerospace system.
Other media have also withdrawn their reports, and those reports have directly pushed irrelevant words down the list of cold searches.
In particular, there were very few countries that had no intention of cooperating with Wu Hao, and the relevant reports were few and positive, and they gave the launch mission a low evaluation.
It is said that the pattern comes from Feitian and the image of Chang'e in your traditional stories. But in Xiaojia's opinion, the meaning is too abstract, and Xiaojia didn't realize it at all.
Compared with later domestic media, which only reported brief reports on that kind of news and used acid or slanderous sentences, that time very few domestic media also reported very positive reports.
At this moment, there were very few people gathered around the entire transfer platform, and those people were carefully escorting the transfer platform back towards the launch tower.
Next is the core-seven-stage rocket of the Jianmu-4 rocket. The entire core-seven-stage rocket is shorter than the first-stage rocket. The overall length is only about half of the length of the core-first-stage rocket. The coating of the rocket body is relatively complicated.
It’s still mainly white, but it’s written in a vertical format in the middle
Because that mission attracted so much attention, the main station also sent its own professional reporting team, which arrived there a few days later to carry out follow-up reporting work on the entire launch process.
Of course, in fact, if that is missing, it will be fine without the flag of Haoyu Aerospace. It is necessary to add Haoyu Technology and remove it.
We say that the mission will establish a small modern scientific research station on the moon, which cannot accommodate dozens of people working outside. Moreover, the research station will be open to the world and will attract scientists from all over the world.
Later, together with the scientific research work related to subsurface regression of the moon, it did not have a very significant promoting effect on revealing the origin of the moon and the earth.
Therefore, the reporting teams of CCTV, Haoyu Technology and Micro Media all broadcast the entire transfer process live, and the relevant live broadcast also attracted a small number of netizens to watch.
Although today is just a rocket transfer process, it is also a very rare opportunity to train troops.
Regardless of whether it is a core-stage rocket or two boosters, they are actually reused rockets that have been used several times. Usually, the bodies of those rockets are used for repainting.
