Chapter 991: Come on, fly!
"Hey, little bunny!
I knew you bad luck, it wouldn't be good to press that button!"
Old Man Han is dying of sorrow at the moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If the launch fails, losing money is a small matter, it will take a long time to recustomize the satellite, and the rest of the company's plans will be disrupted, and that's the big thing......
Many times in history have taught us that every time a failure occurs, it is a precursor to an imminent explosion or fall of a rocket.
In the minds of almost everyone present, a thought popped up: "This rocket is about to explode!"
Even many experienced engineers from all over the world are no exception.
Boeing's executive Smith turned pale, and he had strongly recommended this business to the head office, and he had also participated in the formulation of the special insurance contract.
If it loses miserably the first time, then the hard-won status may also disappear with this rocket......
The sun has risen over the sea level in the east.
Han Xuan was slapped by the old man, raised his arm to cover his head, and his face was extremely helpless.
muttered "I can't sleep and blame the bed for being crooked", knowing that this black pot is set by itself, there is no way, there are too many criminal records......
Continue to hold the special telescope and stare at the light purple fire, and see it clearly.
In addition to the normal smoke, there was also a faint black smoke, presumably from something charred on the rocket.
As the rocket flies high, it is affected by the lower air pressure, and the flame underneath appears to become larger.
The fact that most of the rockets have exploded within a minute of launch has successfully survived the 60-second mark gives people some hope.
The hearts of those present have already been raised to their throats.
I always felt that the rocket was going to explode in the next second, but it was very tenacious and never had an accident.
"Come on, fly!
Han Xuan secretly cheered for this rocket, thinking that the quality of the things made by Lao Maozi is good, and he can continue to fly if there are problems.
The rocket follows a predetermined route, flying higher and higher.
Until it was no longer visible to the naked eye, people gathered around the optical tracking machine.
Everyone held their breath and hoped it would succeed!
Smith stared at his watch, counting down to fifty, his expression gradually becoming agitated.
Because the problem is the first-stage rocket, according to the design estimate, more than 180 seconds after the rocket is launched, it will fall off the main body of the rocket, and it will be safe at that time.
The people of the sea launch company have been busy preparing for several months for this launch.
And those researchers, they have been busy for several years, and some Russian experts have even spent more than ten years on this rocket!
I was so excited that I clenched my fists and stared at the optical tracker!
Next to it is a state-of-the-art wireless camera mounted on the top of the rocket's third stage, which allows you to see the flamethrows at the bottom of the rocket.
Han Xuan didn't expect that he would be so nervous when he saw the rocket launch with his own eyes!
There was a sense of pride in my heart.
As a human being, the pride of having the courage to conquer space is the same feeling when the plane built by the Wright brothers was successfully tested, and it is estimated that people watching from the ground also felt this way.
When Smith counted to twenty-five, and after another three seconds or so, the four rocket boosters successfully separated!
Looking up and looking at it with the naked eye, I clearly saw that the four small dots were still spewing flames, rapidly falling from the sky.
Two of the rocket boosters collided and suddenly exploded, which was not violent due to the fact that the internal fuel was almost exhausted.
When the count reached zero, the first-stage rocket also successfully separated!
Only the two-stage engine was still working, spewing out light blue flames, running stably, and people immediately hugged and applauded excitedly! The lively atmosphere was like a festival!
Subsequently, when the rocket lifted off for more than 200 seconds, the fairing was also successfully separated, and there was a round of applause again!
The separation process is a time when rockets are prone to problems, and each separation means that one step closer to success.
The height of the rocket is about 110 kilometers from the ground, the atmosphere is quite thin, and the fairing is not used to protect the rocket, and losing it can reduce the weight of the rocket and save fuel.
A rocket carrying three satellites accelerates into outer space.
The weight of the rocket fuel, which accounts for about 90 percent of the total weight, burns more, the lighter and faster the rocket becomes, gradually approaching the first cosmic speed of 7.8 kilometers per second!
And at this very moment.
Parked a few kilometers away at the cockpit door of the Snow Mountain, Captain Maschuiani is holding a coffee cup and watching the rocket launch from afar.
I heard some strange sounds in my ears, but I couldn't find where it came from, and when I looked up, I found that a small black dot was rapidly growing larger!
Then he smashed into the sea with a "boom", and the water splashed all over him, and there was an extra octopus on his head!
And that's not the end of it.
Another booster also fell hundreds of meters away.
After a while, the water surged.
There was a huge object that floated up from the bottom of the sea, it was a huge blue whale with a body length of nearly 30 meters.
A deformed rocket booster was stuck in its head, a small ocean of blood stained red, and as the waves spread, the blue whale was still struggling powerlessly, quickly frozen.
The poor overlord of the deep sea actually ended his fish life with such a tragic fate.
Speaking of bad luck, it's really bad luck.
Captain Mascuianni was shocked, staring at the sky in horror, making sure that nothing had fallen again.
After calming down, he said to himself, "Damn......
It's better to stay next to Osside and run here to find ...... I'm so lucky......"
In the observation room of the Osside rocket launch platform.
At this moment, people are extremely happy, because just now, the second stage of the rocket also successfully separated!
From the ignition to the moment of launch, the whole process lasted about twelve minutes.
The velocity has exceeded the first cosmic velocity, putting the payload into the intended orbit.
The so-called payload refers to the satellites carried in the rocket, which are now about 1,300 kilometers above the ground.
It's a time to celebrate, but it's not over yet, and the next step is to make sure the satellite positions are not off.
As for whether the satellite can be successfully activated and put into normal use, that is Mr. Han's own business, and it has nothing to do with the sea launch company.
When the measuring instrument was used to calculate the correct position, there was a bunch of jubilant maniacs in the observation room!
Screaming and yelling! Running around! Scraps of paper flying all over the sky!
The old man hurriedly called and contacted the SOS satellite data center set up in Los Angeles to ask them to test whether the satellite could work properly, which would take some time, and there was no way to give a prepared answer for the time being.
The launch of the rocket is over.
More than 100 million US dollars, looking at a gorgeous oversized "Scud", Han Xuan always had a feeling of unfinished, and talked with Anya with a smile.
Among the hundreds of satellites in the sky, three belong to Han Xuan's family.
Before the excitement passed, they stopped at the Osside launch platform for a while, and said their thoughts to the camera, and the Snow Mountain yacht came to pick them up.
From Captain Mascuianni, hearing about the strange thing that had just happened, Han Xuan suddenly had the illusion that he was listening to a ridiculous story, and decided to go find the blue whale on the spot.
On the way back, the speed of the supply ship slowed down.
Behind its stern, it dragged its head with several ropes, and the carcass of a blue whale with a rocket booster stuck in its head...... (To be continued.) )
