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 only traveling about one thousand meters per hour.
Such a slow speed is like 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 1,000 tons, then this speed is already fast enough.
Yes.
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 heavy rocket pushed up the lunar cargo spacecraft assembly, finally like a young lady who came out of 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 28 meters, and the diameter reaches 12.5 meters.
What is the concept? In this fairing, you can put two buses, and then add four cars. Although it may look small from a distance, but when compared with people, you can see how powerful this fairing is.
How big.
There are two connected flags on the fairing. In addition to the most eye-catching national flag, there is also a blue flag with the white LOGO of Haoyu Aerospace printed on it.
According to international conventions on aerospace, the rocket must have the name and logo of the country and unit where it is located, so one side of the two flags represents the country to which the country belongs, and the other side represents that the rocket is a launch vehicle owned by Haoyu Aerospace.
.
Under the two flags, there is a row of English abbreviations of the country and Haoyu Aerospace.
Next is the core two-stage rocket of the Jianmu-9 rocket. The entire core two-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 simple and still the same.
The main color is white, except that the four characters "Haoyu Aerospace" are written in a vertical format in the middle.
These four words represent an identity, as well as an external image and expression of strength. Although more and more countries in the world are now able to launch carrier rockets, few countries can afford such a heavy-duty carrier rocket.
There are only a handful of companies and companies, but it is still the top presence in the aerospace field.
Not to mention the second lunar cargo spacecraft carried inside the fairing. There are currently companies from several countries that can transport large quantities of cargo to the moon and build lunar scientific research stations on the moon.
Below the core stage, there are the core stage part of the rocket and the two boosters on both sides of the rocket. Like the Falcon Heavy rocket, the two boosters and core stage used by the Jianmu-9 rocket
They are all the same, which is equivalent to bundling three core-stage rockets together. Only one is used as a core-stage rocket to carry the weight, and the other two rockets are used as boosters.
Whether it is a core-stage rocket or two boosters, they are actually reused rockets that have been used several times. Normally, the bodies of these rockets are not used for repainting, mainly to save costs.
.
It’s just that this mission attracted more attention. For publicity purposes, the rocket body was repainted. The entire rocket body added some blue ribbon patterns on top of the white tone. This ribbon slowly floated from the solid to the white tone.
It looks elegant outside.
It is said that this pattern comes from Feitian and the image of Chang'e in our traditional stories. However, in everyone's opinion, this meaning is too abstract and everyone did not see it at all.
The most eye-catching thing at the lower end of the core first stage rocket and the two boosters is of course their folded and sturdy landing gears. Although the whole body is now folded upward and folded away, you can still feel their hugeness.
Under the rocket is the launch site's transfer platform, which can also be called a launch platform. It has the same appearance and structure as other transfer platforms at the Nanhai Space Launch Site, except that it is extra large.
Under the transfer platform, there are three national flags printed on it. The most conspicuous national flag is of course the one in the middle, and the flags of Haoyu Aerospace and the aerospace system are on the two sides.
In fact, there should be a flag on it, that is the flag of Haoyu Technology. But it was dropped by Wu Haofou. It is enough to have this flag of Haoyu Aerospace. There is no need to add Haoyu Technology to it.
At this moment, many people have gathered around the entire transfer platform, and everyone is carefully escorting the transfer platform towards the launch tower slowly.
Among these people are 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.
Because this mission attracted special attention, the main station also sent its own professional reporting team, which arrived here a few days ago to conduct follow-up reporting on the entire launch process.
In addition, Haoyu Technology and Micro Media also sent out their own technical reporting teams to live broadcast the entire launch process.
Although today is just a rocket transfer process, it is also a very rare opportunity to train troops.
Therefore, both CCTV and the reporting teams of Haoyu Technology and Micro Media conducted a live broadcast of the entire transfer process, and the related live broadcast also attracted a large number of netizens to watch.
Other media have also reported on it, and these reports have directly pushed related words to the top of the hot search list.
Compared with the previous foreign media that only briefly reported on this kind of news and made some acid or slanderous remarks, this time many foreign media also reported very positively.
In particular, many national media were interested in cooperating with Wu Hao and others, and their reports were mostly positive, and they spoke highly of this launch mission.
They said that this mission will establish a large-scale modern scientific research station on the moon, which can accommodate dozens of people working inside. Moreover, this research station is open to the world and will attract scientists from all over the world.
Go there and jointly conduct relevant scientific research on the moon, which will have a huge promotion effect on uncovering the origin of the moon and the earth.
