At 23:59 on November 24, Xingkong No. 1 was already at station 201 in Wenchang, ready for battle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, Mortal Video, the official website of Mortal Star, conducted an all-round live broadcast of the entire process of the launch of Starry Sky 1.

Users around the world have watched it through two major channels.

As a result, this night, the installed capacity of mortal videos directly increased by tens of millions, mainly foreign users, and the official website of Mortal Star has exploded in traffic.

The current fame of Mortal Starry Sky is already big, coupled with the amazing gamble between Mortal Starry Sky and Space X, it has attracted the attention of people from all walks of life.

After all, whether it is Space X or Mortal Starry Sky, they are both private companies, and the future development is more closely related to the space exploration of global users.

Many people even directly said that in the future, private landing on the moon and Mars will be more reliable for private companies such as Mortal Star Sky and Space X.

On the contrary, if it is a state-owned enterprise, there are a lot of political considerations.

Therefore, many people are highly concerned about the debut of Starry Sky One.

During the live broadcast, in addition to the live picture, there was also the host's explanation.

"Hello everyone, I'm Qingtian, the host of Mortal Video Locations, and I'm at the Wenchang Launch Center now. Behind me, as you can see, Starry Sky One is already in full swing, and it will be officially ignited in a few seconds and ready for its first flight. ”

The contracted beauty host of Mortal Video, Clear Sky, said with a smile:

"As you can see, our Starry Sky One, with a height of 35 meters, has a mass of only 300 tons. Compared to launch vehicles such as the Falcon 9, which are 70 meters high and weigh about 600 tons, Starry Sky 1 is indeed a small man. However, is the carrying capacity and performance of Starry Sky 1 really inferior to them?"

Qingtian paused and smiled mysteriously: "We will wait and see, and at the same time, we will invite Professor Li Renxin, an aerospace expert, to give us a professional explanation." ”

According to the rules of the industry, the entire process of the launch is explained by experts one by one.

However, the words of the beautiful woman hosted by the clear sky caused a wave of barrage:

"Ah, the little man in the mortal starry sky is about to fly, I don't know how it compares to the fat five, 6666!"

"The beautiful host is Boss Wang's person, she says so, and there is an article in it. It seems that finding a small man is not easy!"

"That is, I am invincible in the world, stepping on apples, boxing three stars, just a space X, and I still want to argue with my fan, I just don't know. After today, Elon Musk will cry, haha!"

"Upstairs brainless powder, don't explain!"

"Cut, to tell the truth, the technology of the mortal starry sky must be strong, although the starry sky number one is small, the load capacity must be very powerful!"

"Cut, the faith is touching, and you will see it later!"

……

For a while, people from the two factions scolded each other on the barrage.

And Li Renxin, the aerospace handsome, explained:

-7.3s, (23:59:52.7 on November 24), the Star-1 launch vehicle began to ignite and is currently in good condition.

0 Star 1 officially took off (0:00:00 on November 25. ）

+15s program turn

The +174s booster engine is powered off and the booster is separated

The +188s core first-stage engine is shut down, the first and second stages are separated from the first stage to complete the task, and the second stage continues to complete the launch mission

+191s core two-stage engine ignition

+215s throwing fairing

+573S secondary fixed engine shutdown

+599s two-stage oscillating engine shutdown

+603s Ship Arrow Separation

……

"Starry Sky No. 1 has been successfully lifted off, and we will wait and see how it performs next!"

Professor Li Renxin, while watching the video and explaining, was very excited.

After all, it is a Chinese enterprise, and as a Chinese person, no matter what, it is still full of pride.

Everyone else also watched with interest, and complained a few words on the barrage from time to time.

At the same time, Space X headquarters, Elon Musk and several major shareholders, as well as consortium bigwigs, were also watching this scene with interest.

When the Starry Sky 1 of the mortal starry sky is launched and everything is clear, the technology of the starry sky 1 cannot surpass Space X, and then the mortal technology will withdraw from aerospace.

Space X is still the leader of the industry, and it is the only private company, and it has taken advantage of this to make a big move forward and start a new round of financing.

However, as everyone watched, coupled with the explanation of experts, more and more problems were discovered.

It stands to reason that the first flight of Starry Sky 1 was just a test launch.

Generally, on the first flight, there will be some things in the load part, but most of them are unimportant existences, and at most there is a very ordinary small satellite.

For example, the first flight of the Huaxia Long March 7 carried the upper stage of the Yuanzheng-1A (a spacecraft that can fly independently and start multiple times), the scaled return capsule of the multi-purpose spacecraft, the active debris cleaning vehicle of the Aolong-1 space debris, two Hato vehicles, an in-orbit refueling experimental device, and a soaring star.

Although there are many patterns, carrying 6 items and 7 payloads, most of them are low-cost and basic spacecraft, return capsules, aircraft, experimental devices, etc.

The only satellite, the Soaring Star CubeSat, was designed by graduate students and young teachers of Northwestern Polytechnical University using the standard CubeSat concept and participated in the development of a 12U CubeSat with a mass of only 33 kilograms.

The working life in orbit is only one year, and a series of innovative experiments will be carried out, such as the measurement of the earth's gravity field, the space anti-radiation experiment, and the verification of natural polarized light navigation technology.

It can be seen that the first flight of the Long March 7 does not have many high-grade satellites worth tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions.

The first flight of Starry Sky 1 should be the same.

But from the beginning to the present, we have not seen any spacecraft, or aircraft, or return capsule, or even an experimental device.

This surprised everyone.

Professor Li Renxin couldn't help but speak: "Could it be that the Starry Sky No. 1 of the mortal starry sky is just an ordinary launch test and does not carry anything?"

In a word, everyone was stunned.

What the hell are you going to do when you launch a launch vehicle without satellites?

Are you kidding?

As for directly launching a heavyweight satellite worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, for experiments, it is even more impossible.

Even Huaxia, which has mature technology, does not dare to do this.

You must know that the cost of a launch vehicle is only tens of millions of dollars, and if it is blown up, it will be blown up.

For example, the Falcon 9 is only 62 million US dollars.

But a heavyweight satellite is more than that, a few thousand dollars less, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars more expensive!
