The concern and condolences from Iraq also touched the hearts of the scientific researchers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

The first flight of the Jian-H-7 was not very smooth, but the first commercial launch of the Xichang Satellite Development Center, the production and release of resource survey satellites for Iraq, ushered in the joy of success.

On July 4, in this very ordinary riddle, the personnel of the Xichang Satellite Development Center were seriously in place.

The rocket has stood on the hair platform, the fuel has been filled, and the hair has entered an irreversible process.

The weather was good, and the hair shè window was more than three hours, which was enough for them to implement the successful hair shè.

In the Pacific Ocean, a far-reaching space survey ship is also ready, with huge antennas, looking at the vast sky, they need to monitor whether the satellite has been successfully put into orbit this time.

"Ten minutes to prepare."

"Five minutes to prepare. {{}}”

"Three minutes to prepare."

A loud voice, resounding throughout the hair shè hall, using the countdown method, can add a sense of urgency to the cāo staff, this way, the first origin, is actually science fiction.

"Ten, nine,... Five, four, three, two, one, ignition, takeoff! As the last sound came, the person in charge of the ignition button put his finger on the button.

Outside, on the huge No. 2 platform, the Long March rocket suddenly spit out a tongue of fire, and then, the momentum of the earth shaking the mountains came, and the rocket began to take off slowly, flying faster and faster, accelerating its ascent.

The first one, the Iraqi satellite on board, seems to be excited at this time, and it is about to travel into space.

Finally, out of the thick atmosphere, the first-stage rocket fell off, the second-stage rocket ignited, and, moreover, the body of the rocket began to tilt and deflect towards the east.

Accelerate, continue to accelerate, the speed of the rocket at this time is far faster than the speed of the bullet flight, and also exceeds the speed of the fastest aircraft, if you want to become a satellite, you need to reach at least 7.9 kilometers per second!

This year, a low year in the history of human spaceflight, just on January 28, the U.S. space shuttle Challenger, 72 seconds after the launch, exploded, killing seven astronauts. And on April 18ri, the American Hercules rocket, again failed to fire.

At this time, China's rocket development was the first commercial development, which attracted the observation of many international experts in the field of aerospace.

Rocket, is a high-tech product, even if there is an extra hair, it will cause the failure of the hair.

The Yuanwang survey ship in the Pacific Ocean accurately captured the trail of the rocket, and, moreover, entered a new command.

Finally, the star and arrow were separated, and the satellite was accurately put into orbit!

Hearing the news of the satellite's launch into orbit, all the experts present stood up and applauded together to congratulate the victory of the satellite. {{}}

The success of this development means that China has successfully entered the international commercial development market, it means that they have begun to operate in a market-oriented manner, and it also means that Iraq finally has its first satellite!

The personnel of the Iraqi ground observation station, in excitement and anxiety, were waiting for the moment when they would first cross the sky above their heads, and at that moment they would receive their first reconnaissance satellite information.

The use of reconnaissance planes is to infringe on the territorial airspace of the other side, but outer space is international, and remembering the reconnaissance satellites that fly over Iraq's head from time to time, Iraq can finally reconnoiter the situation of other countries in a bright and open manner!

In the sky, the satellite that left the rocket stretched out its solar panels, and while constantly absorbing the electrical energy generated by the sun, the internal circuits also began to work normally, and the high-definition camera device, after the focusing of the complex optical mirror, was aimed at the ground.

South Africa, inland Pretoria region.

Most of the terrain here is mountainous and complex, but as a medium-sized country in Africa, South Africa is rich in minerals, and although there is no oil, it is also highly developed. And in the field of military industry, South Africa is also unique, developing a number of unique combat equipment.

Now, deep in the mountains of the region, a group of military workers, among them, in addition to the native South Africans, are also working closely with Jewish faces.

"Hey, Jer, are you ready?" A South African engineer said to the head of the Jews.

"Ready, this time we are just trying shè, and, at this time period, all the reconnaissance satellites are not in the sky above us, we have shortened the shè range, and it is enough to only hit 1,200 kilometers." Said a man named Jer.

A large group of convoys are preparing to march to the site a few kilometers away, and this time they are sending Jericho-2 ballistic missiles!

In addition to vigorously developing their self-developed advanced Lion fighter in China, they are also carrying out more powerful ballistic missile projects. {{}}

Last time, if it weren't for Iraq's ballistic missile coverage strike, the air force of the Column would not have suddenly lost its combat effectiveness, and then, the Column would not have fallen into the current Jedi, and at that time, the hateful thing was that the Column was passively beaten and had no ability to fight back against Iraq, so the Column had accelerated its ballistic missile program.

First of all, the country is small, and it is difficult to solve both the launch and landing sites, and the key problem is that the development of ballistic missiles in the country will be strongly resisted by the surrounding Arab world.

In the past, the Yisè column was not afraid of the surrounding Arab countries, no matter how loud their protest sounded, the Yisè column still developed according to its own line, but now it is different, if you annoy the guy in the Middle East, it is very likely that the war will start again, and now the Yisè column is still in the stage of raising and accumulating, and now, taking the risk to make Iraq lively, and the Yisèlie does not dare to take this risk, and in the current environment, peace is being preached everywhere, and the United States and the Soviet Union are reducing their own nuclear missiles. I can't make another storm in this kind of thing.

Therefore, when it came time to develop their own missile technology, they chose their friends to cooperate with South Africa in the development.

South Africa, which is located in the southernmost part of Africa, has been sparing no effort to develop its own military industrial enterprises in order to realize the interests of the rulers themselves, and has a large number of Jews in South Africa, who are very supportive of South Africa, so the relationship between Yili and South Africa is also relatively harmonious. Prior to this, the two sides began friendly cooperation in many respects.

And under the impetus of Perez, the ballistic missile of the Sè column was finally launched in South Africa, codenamed "Mountain Farmhouse".

After several site selections, they did not build the development site at the Overberg test range, not on the seashore, but on the inland area, where transportation was difficult, but the maximum guarantee of confidentiality was not leaked.

And at the same time as the ballistic missile project, Israel and South Africa signed an even more secret contract for the joint development of nuclear weapons!

In fact, South Africa has been developing its own nuclear weapons project, and in the seventies, it had contact with the sè column, which said that it could provide the Jericho-1 missile carrying a nuclear warhead, but because the price of the sè column was too high, the two sides did not negotiate, South Africa believed that its own nuclear program would soon have a finished product, but the sè column still provided South Africa with 30 grams of tritium, which is equivalent to a medicine with a similar effect. It has played a great role in the development of nuclear weapons in South Africa.

However, South Africa's own nuclear project has been carried out for more than ten years, has been fruitless, they finally found their own technical weakness, and now, Israel has carried out nuclear tests, but the nuclear base has been destroyed by Iraq, Israel provides technology, South Africa provides the site, the two sides finally began to work closely, and at the same time progress Jericho-2 missile and second-generation nuclear warhead technology.

The Jericho-2 missile, using the mature solid-fuel technology on the Jericho-1, has an additional one stage, adopts two-stage propulsion, weighs about 26 tons, is 14 meters long, has a diameter of 1.56 meters, has a range of 2,800 kilometers, is designed to be 600 meters, and can carry a warhead weighing up to 1 ton.

This is the first time to try shè, in order to avoid the influence of the outside world, they need to choose the timing of the shè, to find a time when there is no reconnaissance satellite overhead, it is really not easy, this opportunity is not easy to come by, they must quickly develop the shè device, a shè.

For the first time, it is usually on a fixed hair platform, and it is probably the first time that a mobile hair platform is used.

A few miles away, we arrived at the Fat Shè site, which was a hard granite ground that was perfect for the Hair Shè.

The trailer loaded with missiles slowly drove into the position of the hair, stopped in a place where a circle was drawn, and then, the tail hydraulic lever began to move, slowly raising the missiles upright.

All kinds of support vehicles were deployed to conduct the final test of the missile.

Five minutes later, the Jericho-2 missile, which looked like a telephone pole, dragged a tongue of fire and flew into the sky.
