Chapter 643: NASA and Musk were thundered

The team of Flint Aerospace arrived at the Changxi Satellite Launch Center three days later, and according to Ye Ziheng's arrangement, they were also dispersed to various links to learn from experience.

These are technicians who prepare the spacecraft on the ground before launch.

Final assembly, testing, transfer...... I have to say that this bit of experience has been accumulated over several decades, and it has also been accumulated with one launch after another, both successful and unsuccessful.

In those days, funds were tight, and in order to reduce losses, every link was simulated over and over again. After the problem is not found on paper, there are a lot of situations that were not anticipated in advance in the actual work process.

Today, these experiences are almost left to Flint Aerospace to draw on.

This is the benefit of Gu Song's identity and the long-term cooperative relationship that Flint Aerospace has established with Huaguo Aerospace System.

Of course, Gu Song didn't want these things in vain.

Part of the tuition fee he paid was a steady stream of orders, and it was the allocation of R&D funds for cooperative research projects, including the application of artificial intelligence and quantum computing in the aerospace field that he "shared".

Low-profile version.

After all, the whole body, in fact, is in his head.

The atmosphere was joyful.

Gu Song is actually not idle, he is also optimizing the operation system of Suishi Island in the future according to the current assembly and testing process.

From the unmanned manufacturing factory, the parts and components produced also need to go to the final assembly and testing workshop, and a part of the manual participation to complete the final link.

There are those that are assembled and then transferred in the final assembly and test workshop, and there are also those that are assembled in situ and launched in situ through the integrated launch tower.

There are some technologies in this, which even the current Chinese officials have not been able to perfect.

In the past three years, the construction of Flint Island is still very rudimentary, and the launch missions of Flint Space are all commissioned, so Gu Song has not taken the time to improve these links.

But Flintstone Island is also about to enter a state of full firepower.

That's why Gu Song had to spend so much time and stay here.

The cooperation between the two sides has been carried out so many times, and everything is smooth. Although they know that the satellites of Flint Space will have a high technical content and even hide some secrets, the people here at the Chaunxi Satellite Launch Center are only responsible for the launch after all, and are not responsible for the design of the satellite.

They completed the tests according to the parameters provided by Flint Aerospace, completed the final assembly, transferred the rocket to the launch tower, and began to refuel.

This launch was different from the past, and even Gu Song was very nervous.

After all, the 6.5-ton satellite hides a miniature fusion generator.

In the encyclopedia of black technology, such a thing is not the most advanced, but it is the most suitable for planning now.

But he is also the thing that Gu Song has now drummed up, and it has the most impact on reality.

And Gu Song is nervous, in addition to whether it can be successfully launched, including whether it can be successfully ignited after it reaches the back of the moon in the future.

Now, let's take the first step.

The rocket launch was not 100% successful, and in the previous launches, Gu Song could be light and light, because the things to be sent to the sky were not so critical.

Standing in the launch hall, Gu Song's solemn expression fell in Ye Ziheng's eyes, which confirmed his previous guess.

The continuous launch failures made Gu Song hold his breath in his heart.

If this launch is not completely successful, I really don't know how he will adjust his space program in the future.

The team at the Chauncey Satellite Launch Center was also nervous.

Approaching the maximum load, this rocket launch has higher requirements for fault tolerance in all links.

There can be no mistakes.

There will be no more fuel to adjust the attitude and orbit.

The load mass at the top of the rocket is so large, and the center of gravity is shifted high, and the requirements for the rocket attitude need to be more precise.

Then the initial attitude of the rocket, the time of ignition of each engine, the magnitude and angle of the thrust generated by the eruption, can not be wrong.

The leaders of the Chauncee Satellite Launch Center accompanied him in the launch command hall and silently hoped that everything would go well.

With the arrival of the launch window, the rocket engine was finally ignited on time.

This component is only sent to geosynchronous transfer orbit, and its success will soon be known.

The tail flame of the rocket engine eruption is spectacular, and when the rocket is in full swing and climbs high into the air, there is a strange beauty of power.

Gu Song's eyes flashed with light, but he remembered the Candle Dragon 2 rocket that He Anzhi was developing.

The design capacity is unmatched, with a carrying capacity of 132.5 tons in low earth orbit, 68.8 tons in synchronous orbit and 55 tons in lunar orbit!

When it takes off, how spectacular will it be?

This is the biggest guy to break the record for the capacity of a human launch vehicle, surpassing the Saturn V that year's moon landing program!

In Gu Song's reverie, the sound report in the launch command center also relaxed everyone's nerves.

This launch, after all, was completed perfectly.

Ye Ziheng breathed a long sigh of relief, and Zhang Liwei, chairman of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, who had already rushed over, said with emotion: "Now, I hope to see this giant satellite completed soon." Mr. Gu, we are all waiting to see the space docking show of Flint Aerospace!"

"Let's all hurry, I hope I can see it a day sooner. ”

Gu Song shook hands with the congratulators one by one.

Zhang Liwei is not talking nonsense, since the first component has been launched, at least it shows that in the ground test stage, Flint Aerospace believes that its space docking technology has passed.

This will really create a new chapter for Huaguo Aerospace.

If Flint Aerospace succeeds, it is estimated that the next time, it will be them who will ask Flint Aerospace for experience.

……

Although the launch was registered in advance, when NASA detected the launch, it was discovered that it was such a behemoth that was launched.

When it's fully unfolded in space, it's really intimidating.

NASA also can't accurately estimate its mass, and can only roughly judge that this is probably the largest satellite ever launched by China.

All of a sudden, countless tracking and control equipment located on the surface of the earth were aimed at the orbit of this satellite.

In space-based, some special satellites that have been launched can only temporarily use valuable power to adjust their attitudes, hoping to observe this satellite at the closest point of each other's orbits.

They are worried about the purpose of this huge satellite.

At the same time, naturally, all kinds of doubts were also sent to the space agency of China.

It turned out to be told that it was a satellite of Flint Space. There is no comment on the trade secrets related to Flint Aerospace.

Subsequently, NASA raised some objections.

This launch was not registered with ITU in advance. If you judge by this, is this a sensitive satellite in the field of defense?

If it is a commercial satellite launched by a private company such as Flint Aerospace, some parameters and uses should be registered and disclosed in advance.

Under the current international framework, orbital and radioband resources are regulated.

When it comes to requirements, this is also a legitimate requirement under the current framework.

Flint Aerospace was not ready to challenge this system now, and then Feng Xiaolong held a press conference in Yanjing.

A three-component exploration satellite with a total weight of 16.9 tons will be docked twice in geosynchronous orbit before heading to the moon.

After two failed lunar launches, Flint Space has readjusted its month-to-month plan.

All people in the space industry, including Musk, have only one idea in their heads.

Flint Aerospace: This is crazy, right?

This is probably the most cost-effective way to launch.

Three GTO orbital launches, space docking. At 16.9 tons, this is probably the largest spacecraft launched to the moon except for the lunar landing program.

Is Gu Song crazy?

Isn't this much more technologically advanced than launching a two- or three-ton lunar exploration satellite alone?

Even if this first "component" now successfully enters the synchronous orbit, the two space docking will have to be perfectly achieved, and then the ignition in the synchronous orbit will change the orbit and enter the lunar orbit.

What's so difficult about this challenge?

If you fail twice, you won't be stimulated like this, right?

Foreign media interviewed Musk about this, and Musk could only joke with emotion: "I really envy that rich guy." If I had a company with a market capitalization of nearly $200 billion, I would like to challenge something like that!"
