"President Qusay, now, we have completed the reverse mapping of the entire DF-3 missile, are in the process of technical thoroughness, and have started to copy the engine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}," Dr. Saadi said.

Since the progress is reported every week, Cusai's grasp of the entire progress is still relatively in place, last week, the mapping of the engine has been completed, and this week the imitation began, and the progress is indeed not slow.

"Our imitation must be scientific, not only to find out the specific data, but also to understand why it is designed, and only in this way can we improve our own missiles on the basis of completely mastering this missile." Qusay said.

"Yes, we're doing an in-depth argument on principle." Dr. Saadi said: "We plan to spend half a year to thoroughly understand the principle, and at the same time, during this time, we will successfully ignite our imitation high-thrust engine, and we found that the processing of these missiles is not as good as ours at all, and I believe that the missiles we manufacture must have a higher energy than the imported ones." ”

Iraq has advanced processing equipment and has been ahead of the big countries in the East, and the processing of various parts of the rocket has a great impact on the final product. {{}}

"President Qusay, I have one more proposal." Saadi continued.

"Say it." Qusay said.

"We are now working on the reverse imitation of the DF-3 missile, and on this basis, we are developing our own launch vehicle, so in addition to building a launch site next to our current production base, we also need to prepare a landing site, and, more importantly, we need a full set of measurement equipment." Saadi continued.

The position of the Dongfeng-3 missile. It is deployed in the Qushar region in the Hijara Desert, while the Arab Space Corporation is located in the Abu Garah region in the eastern part of the Hijara Desert, where there is a road leading directly to Basra to facilitate the transportation of parts after they are manufactured, and there is a final assembly workshop in the Abu Garah area, after the final assembly is completed. It can be transported several kilometers away for hair shè. {{}}

But. It's just that if the DF-3 missiles are introduced from the big countries in the East, they don't need to test them in peacetime at all, they just need to use them in war or deter them in war. It's just that if you develop it yourself and improve it. Even if it is converted into a launch vehicle in the future, then the necessary test system is a must, and this is also a huge system project, so Saadi proposed that Iraq need to prepare from now on.

Qusay remembered that in later generations, North Korea repeatedly claimed to have developed a Sputnik. However, after sending shè out, whether the satellite was put into orbit or not, North Korea does not know, and North Korea does not know where the satellite has hit, because. North Korea lacks effective means of surveillance, so after the issuance of the shè, the surveillance work is "handed over" to the United States and other countries. The result after the fact, just a joke. Because, this so-called satellite has not entered orbit at all.

"We can buy all kinds of measuring equipment that we need, and I will allocate a dedicated fund to buy all kinds of equipment that we need from the West." Qusay said. "For the time being, we can choose the desert area in Saudi Arabia as the landing site, and we also need to start preparing to buy a survey ship to monitor our satellite emissions. {{}}”

If you want to develop those equipment yourself, it is definitely not possible, Iraq does not have so many scientific researchers and time, and the high-speed cameras and other equipment needed for sending shè can be purchased directly.

Although it is said that the satellite is being sent and the carrier rocket is being launched, the work they are carrying out now is to imitate the missile, and the degree of the missile after imitation and improvement still needs to be measured in a special site, although the distance in Saudi Arabia is not far enough, but it is barely enough, and if you want to send a missile farther away in the future, it must be sent to the sea, so the survey ship is also necessary.

Saadi also means this, they need to buy equipment, and they need to go through a process to debug and finally run normally, which needs to be prepared now.

"This time, I have another thing to report to you." Saadi said: "The Long March series rockets of the eastern countries are ready to be put on the market, and they will contract foreign satellite development services. ”

Long March rocket! Qusay suddenly remembered that in later generations, the Long March rockets of the great powers of the East had launched dozens of satellites for other countries and gained a good international reputation. {{}}

At that time, it was also in 85 years, the Long March rocket began to announce the commercial market model of the external shè, but there were few responders, until the 88th year, it undertook the two satellites developed by the American Hughes company for Australia, and in 90 years, the Long March 2E strap-on rocket was successfully launched, and it was a hit.

That is, during these three years, the Long March rocket was very embarrassing.

Since Saadi has become the person in charge of Iraq's ballistic missile and launch vehicle projects, he has naturally begun to pay attention to various aerospace news at home and abroad, and this move by the eastern powers has naturally attracted his attention, and he feels that it is necessary to report to President Qusay.

The entire aerospace and missile undertakings of the big countries in the East were developed under the auspices of Qian Xuesen, and the Long March carrier rocket was also inherited from the Dongfeng ballistic missile, and the famous Long March-2 rocket was actually the Dongfeng-5 ballistic missile. {{}}

At present, the outside world, especially Western countries, do not care about the launch vehicles of the eastern powers, and now, only the European Arian company, and the United States' McDonnell Douglas company, General Dynamics Company, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia also began commercial development. The East is a backward country, sending shè commercial satellites? If it fails, the loss is very large.

And for Iraq, this could be a great learning opportunity!

If Iraq is willing to cooperate in using Long March rockets to launch satellites, then Iraq's technicians will work closely with the personnel of the big countries in the East, and the entire design and development process will involve Iraqi technicians, which will be very beneficial to their growth.

Aerospace engineering is a major project of a country, and no country is willing to export this kind of technology. If you choose European companies, then Iraq will have very little contact, they will have a condescending attitude, and with the East, it will not be like this, they will definitely receive this first business very sincerely. Iraq has definitely learned more from this than it has from a satellite.

In fact, not only rockets, Iraq is definitely still a blank in terms of satellites, and now, Iraq's space project has just begun, in addition to its own Dongfeng-3 missiles that have just begun to be mapped, there is only a navigation satellite project that is ready to cooperate with the Soviet Union, but there are still many variables in that project.

Iraq does not have any satellite development capabilities of its own, but Iraq needs satellites, for example, Earth Resources Satellite!

At present, satellites have tremendous military value, for example, the United States and the Soviet Union have issued a large number of reconnaissance satellites, and Iraq is completely blank on this, and it has a reconnaissance satellite that can observe the situation on the ground and on the sea for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the diplomatic problems caused by the use of reconnaissance aircraft, so it is of great use value.

Of course, except for the Soviet Union and the United States, no one would claim that they were sending spy satellites, so the name was changed to the Earth Resources Satellite, which was used to scan the earth and find various resources.

Qusay also knows that at this time, the big countries in the East have already launched several returnable remote sensing satellites, and the technology of the big countries in the East is sufficient, and Iraq can introduce some more sophisticated equipment from Europe, jointly develop it with the big countries, and try to make Iraq's first earth resources satellite!

With this satellite, it is possible to effectively monitor the situation in the entire Middle East region, which is a great step forward for Iraq's intelligence acquisition!

Moreover, Iraq now has deep pockets and sufficient capacity to support its own space projects. If the funds are insufficient, you can also pull in Saudi Arabia, a rich man.

In addition to reconnaissance satellites, there is another, that is, communication satellites, whether in peacetime or wartime, geosynchronous communication satellites, has always been a very important way of communication, for example, when their fleet is far away from the base to communicate with the base, if there is no satellite communication, then only long-wave radio, long-wave can travel around the earth, not affected by the curvature of the earth, however, the bandwidth is too narrow, a telegram of dozens of words, need to send shè and receive half an hour.

Although Iraq is fully funded and cannot support research in both areas at the same time, in addition to Iraq, there is another institution close to Qusay that needs communications satellites.

Ousheng Electronics Company! This miraculous rise of a large electronic company, which has developed into a large electronic company, has sufficient funds to invest in various projects, relying on the large profits drawn from the communications industry, is making a breakthrough in the personal computer business.

Starting from the Walkman and achieving leapfrog development by mobile communications, Ousheng Electronics Co., Ltd. wants to continue to climb the peak in the communications industry, and also needs communication satellites, so it is definitely a very wise choice for Ousheng to invest in the development of geosynchronous satellites and get the most advanced satellite technology in Europe.

After the successful launch of the Osage satellites, Iraq can lease some of the passages for the time being, and then release its own communications satellites when Iraq recovers, or directly buy the satellites of the Ausheng Company.
