Launching rockets in areas close to the equator can borrow the power of the earth's own rotation to save fuel to the greatest extent and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If someone studies it, they will find that the launch site for launching geostationary orbit satellites is basically close to the earth's equator, and the advantage of sea launch is that it can avoid rockets flying over inhabited areas, and more importantly, the sea launch platform can be moved as needed, and the launch position can be flexibly selected.

At nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, the Osside Sea Launch platform arrived at its intended position.

At this moment, people were busy controlling the machine to set up the rocket, and Han Xuan could already see the big guy with a length of more than fifty meters and a diameter of nearly four meters under the light.

It would definitely be a lie to say that you are not excited, this is a rocket bought by your own family!

The Zenith-3SL rocket, which began to be developed in the Soviet era in the eighties and was officially completed a few years ago, is mainly produced in Ukraine, and Russia also supplies some important components such as engines.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine and Russia wanted to put the Zenith on the international commercial market, but due to the lack of funds in both countries, they looked for foreign partners, and the Sea Shot Company was born......

The captain of the Snow Mountain, after contacting the staff of the Osside Sea Launch Platform, sent a helicopter over and parked on the helipad on the top deck of the yacht to deliver people to the launch platform in four times.

Then the Snow Mountain left far away, turning into a small dot, so as not to be affected in case the rocket failed to launch and exploded.

Mr. and Mrs. Bernanke stayed on the yacht, they were not guests, there was no need to bring them to visit as well, and the animals were only Fat Ding, which saved a bunch of troublemakers from unnecessary trouble......

After coming to the huge artificial steel platform, Han Xuan could smell a faint smell of paint, and now the white and new appearance was repainted, in fact, it was made as early as 1983.

When he heard that the sea launch company was using this German launch platform as a prototype in an attempt to build his own sea launch platform, he was very excited about it, because in the future, his own SpaceX company would also use it.

Susan directed them to shoot the scene of setting up the rocket, while Han Xuan and the old man came to the general control room under the leadership of the staff.

Seeing Anya dozing off one after another, she asked her with a smile, "Would you like to help you find a place to rest for a while?"

It may take several more hours to complete the commissioning and wait for the rocket to be launched in the early hours of the morning. ”

"No, I don't.

Today I'm going to be willful once and stay up late without sleeping.

Help me hold the fat ding, I can't hold this guy anymore. ”

Anya said with a smile.

"Let it come down and run on its own.

Fat Ding, I warn you, if you dare to make trouble again today, I will definitely castrate you when you go back, do you hear?"

Han Xuan took the fat cat from the girl's arms and threatened it.

Fat Ding suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, clamped his legs hard, and blocked Xiao Ding Ding with his big tail, meowing and nodding affirmatively, swearing to be obedient......

The control room was extremely busy, with people transmitting various parameters and adjusting the position of the launch pad after receiving feedback.

Han Xuan almost didn't understand what he was talking about, he only knew the wind speed, the speed of the ocean current, and so on.

Through the thick glass window, you can see the rocket in the distance, which has been erected there, a dozen stories high.

Seeing a launch vehicle on TV and witnessing it with your own eyes are two completely different feelings, as one of the most cutting-edge engineering technologies of mankind, the greatness of today's technology is revealed everywhere!

You can also see the logo of Boeing on the wall, which is also a shareholder and is the largest shareholder with a 40 percent stake.

A Boeing executive, after introducing himself, briefed them on the launch and the specific parameters of the rocket......

It's been a long time coming.

As early as one o'clock in the night, Anya fell asleep with her head resting on Han Xuan's shoulder.

It's right to say a big thing just now that you want to stay up all night, but there is no way to resist this kind of thing.

Ramirez also wanted to borrow a shoulder from Han Xuan, but he ruthlessly rejected him for the simple reason that he was a man.

At this moment, Ramirez was curled up in a chair with a blanket, and the staff around him completely ignored their presence, and was seriously busy.

Today was lucky, there was no wind at night and there were no dark clouds to cover us.

The old man was leaning his head against the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate, when he heard the Boeing executive named Smith just now come over and say, "Mr. Han, we are about to launch."

The commissioning of the equipment has been completed and everything is working fine. ”

Old Man Han woke up suddenly, and Han Xuan also opened his eyes.

Raising my wrist to look at the time on the Patek Ferry red diamond watch, it was already 5:15 in the morning, which was the most sleepy time of the day.

Rubbing his eyes in a daze, he woke up Anya and Ramirez and asked Secretary Dawson to help pour a few cups of coffee, as for Isabelle...... She's in good spirits.

There is a reason for choosing the early morning launch, when the sun is on the horizon and the sunlight can hit the rocket.

However, the earth is in a relatively dark environment, which produces a large contrast and forms a better optical observation condition, so as to carry out optical measurement and research on rocket flight.

Standing by the window, the people on the deck are already evacuating back, the rocket fuel burns to produce toxic gases, and the console is equipped with an independent air circulation system inside, so there will be no problems.

Han Xuan stared at the rocket for a while and asked Mr. Smith, "We're not in danger here, right?"

I mean, in case of an emergency, like an explosion......"

"Not really.

Rockets rarely explode at the time of ignition, and now that the technology is so mature, I'm more worried about whether I can put a satellite into a predetermined orbit than a rocket that explodes.

If an accident really happens, just press that panic button, and within two seconds, the outside of these glasses will have a sealing steel plate fall down.

The rescue boat is already waiting and ready to evacuate, it is safe......"

The old man was suspicious of this, and asked Gabriel in a whisper, making sure that the escape route had been planned, and then he was relieved.

Messages from the command and control room kept coming from the communicator, the real control room was on land, and the Osside was just a transmitter.

Hearing the woman's voice say that the fire will be ignited in two minutes, an old Russian researcher dressed like Albert Einstein asked Han Xuan: "Press this button later, and the rocket will ignite, do you want to try to launch a rocket?"

Don't press it now, wait until the countdown is over. ”

As soon as the translator wanted to relay it to them, Han Xuan had already replied in fluent Russian: "Thank you, I'm so happy!"

Press when the countdown is over, I remember ......"

The last ten seconds counted down, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and when it was zero, he pressed the button hard!

I saw a lot of white smoke suddenly rising from the deck, and the light of fire and a loud sound came, as if some beast had woken up!

The huge rocket slowly lifted off into the air, and the bright light made people can't open their eyes.

When it disappeared from view, people quickly ran elsewhere to another indoor observation point where they could see higher.

The speed of the rocket is getting faster and faster, and when Han Xuan was looking at it with a telescope, he suddenly found ...... Somewhere in the rocket, a big fire is coming out!

The others around saw it, and there was silence for a moment...... (To be continued.) )
