Chapter 2883 The brightest 'star' in the night sky
The reason why I didn't go to the Xinyuehu Space Command and Control Center, which is just a stone's throw away, was partly because I was afraid of the trouble. Why would I need to make a special trip to see things that I could see in the office.
The second one is because their going will definitely have an impact on everyone, especially since this mission has attracted more attention and everyone is under too much pressure. Wu Hao and the others will undoubtedly increase the pressure on everyone, so they will simply
Don't go.
In the end, Wu Hao and the others were actually reluctant to go. Although this mission attracted more attention from the outside world, for them it was just an ordinary space launch mission, and there was no need to pay too much attention. Therefore, they were too lazy to do so.
If you go, just check it out in the office.
Looking at the rising rocket on the screen, everyone sitting in the office had smiles on their faces.
good!
Bang bang bang...
As Zhang Jun cheered, everyone present cheered and applauded.
When Wu Hao saw this, he also smiled and applauded with everyone. A good start is half the success. The rocket ignited and launched very smoothly, which is certainly worthy of everyone's happiness.
In the video, everyone in the Nanhai Launch Command and Control Hall and Xinyuehu Space Command and Control Hall are working in an orderly manner, and various data information is broadcast from time to time on the hall's broadcast.
Whether it is the staff of the launch site system or the staff of Haoyu Aerospace, everyone has experienced such launch missions many times, so they deal with them very calmly, calmly and professionally.
Through the stationmaster's high-definition surveillance camera outside the rocket body, Wu Hao and the others could clearly see on the big screen that the rocket was rapidly approaching the ground.
As the rocket flew higher and higher, it finally became a bright spot in everyone's field of vision, shining like a star in the night sky.
Through the telemetry screen of Zhanjiang-1, everyone can clearly see the entire flight of the rocket on the screen.
Especially in the night sky, the wake ejected by the rocket is like a trickle, very silky. This shows that the rocket engine is working normally and the engine runs very smoothly without spot problems.
In fact, a long time ago, people began to observe whether the rocket was working properly. In addition to the sensors on the rocket itself, there was also ground telemetry observation.
In addition to observing the flight attitude of the rocket through telemetry observation, the most critical thing is to observe the combustion and injection conditions of the engine at the rear of the rocket. The operating status of the engine is directly related to the operating status of the rocket.
If there is a problem with the rocket engine, there will also be problems with the shape of the ejected tail flame, such as not being smooth enough, intermittent, or changing color, etc.
For example, in some major space launch missions, more ground telemetry stations will be set up and more telemetry ships will be dispatched to conduct relay observations on the trajectory of the rocket launch, so as to track and observe the flight status of the rocket throughout the process.
As the technical figures on the big screen continue to grow and change, rocket launch has finally reached its first critical node.
I saw the rocket tail flame on the infrared remote sensing screen flashing a few times, and the rocket suddenly changed from a single two points to four bright points. The brightest bright point is still rising, while the remaining three bright points are relatively small.
Weak and slowly declining.
Booster separation, primary and secondary separation!
Bang bang bang bang...
The staff in the two halls and I also applauded one after another, and Wu Hao and others who were watching in the office also applauded.
"The ground recovery team reports that the core first-stage rocket and the No. 1 and No. 2 booster grid wings are open, the landing status is normal, and the landing is in accordance with the scheduled procedure."
As the announcement sounded, the big screen also switched to add images of the core first-stage rocket, the No. 1 and 2 boosters, and the landing site. This time, the core first-stage rocket and the two boosters will land together at the landing site.
On the main landing field, a magnificent scene of three arrows landing simultaneously was achieved.
In order to record this spectacular scene, the entire ground recovery team, including the publicity department, added numerous camera positions on the ground to record the entire landing process.
In addition, the entire landing process will also be broadcast live in real time, allowing all people watching the launch mission to witness this spectacular moment.
In the picture on the other side, the second-stage rocket is pushing the Lunar Cargo 2 spacecraft to continue to soar upward. However, because the height is too high, a bright spot can be seen in the remote sensing picture at this moment, and the picture is very blurry.
As the rocket flew higher, the bright spot flickered briefly. It could be seen on the lunar cargo spacecraft's external surveillance camera that the two halves of the fairing protecting it opened and fell off.
In the picture, you can already see the night hemisphere below, the arc-shaped sky in the distance, and the green aurora over the North Pole.
"Throw the fairing!"
Position 1 reported that the two halves of the front-end fairing of the second-stage rocket were successfully thrown!
"good!"
There was another round of warm applause in the command and control hall.
As the saying goes, laymen only watch the fun, while experts watch the door. Tossing the fairing may seem simple, but in fact, the action of tossing the fairing occupies a very important part in the entire rocket launch.
Among the many cases of rocket launch failures so far, many of them were caused by the failure of the fairing to be separated and thrown out on time.
The two halves of the fairing on Jianmu-9 are very large in size, so it is very difficult to separate them. This requires that the entire separation mechanism is reliable enough.
Despite this, the entire rocket launch team was still very worried at this time point. It was not until the fairing separated that they breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene on the fairing also came back again, and after the two halves of the fairing were thrown out, the paraglider inside the fairing was quickly thrown out, and began to drive the fairing to adjust its attitude and glide in the air.
The ground recovery team reported that the two halves of the fairing were falling normally. "The air recovery team has arrived in the predetermined airspace and is on standby, ready for recovery!"
The scene turned, and three yellow-painted helicopters were flying towards the predetermined sea area. This was the fairing recovery team, and they were responsible for the aerial recovery of the two halves of the fairing.
Different from other methods of recycling fairings, Haoyu Aerospace's fairing recycling technology is more direct and even rough. It uses a helicopter suspension hook to hook the paraglider on the fairing, and then realizes aerial recycling.
Hoisting and transfer work.
This recovery method is more maneuverable, more flexible, and has a higher recovery success rate. Of course, the risk brought by the advance is naturally higher than using ordinary ships and using cars to open a large net to wait for the fairing to land.
Although the risk is a little higher, it is not that high, and the recycling cost of this method is lower, which is more important for fairing recycling.
If the success or failure of recycling is too high, then there is no need to spend this effort and take this risk to recycle.
