Chapter 656 [Making History]
In the sky of the western Pacific Ocean, the core stage rocket of "Star Arrow 1703" is adjusting its attitude, and there is a module called "grid rudder" on the rocket, which can be rotated, which is very different from the "grid wing" on the missile, which can not adjust the direction, and the grid rudder can adjust the direction left and right, and its role is to play the purpose of course stability.
In the process of descending the rocket, under the influence of high-altitude, high-speed and strong air current, it will not keep rolling and rely on this module.
This thing is not exclusive to Star Arrow International, SpaceX also has rockets, but it is not an invention of SpaceX, but the former Soviet Union.
In addition, the first stage ignition after the separation from the second-stage rocket is not to reach the predetermined orbit, but because the recovery site is on the surface of the planet, a second ignition is required to retract the orbit in the direction of the first-stage and second-stage separation rocket due to gravity and inertia to the vicinity of the recovery site.
At this moment, the audience saw that the core stage rocket shown in the live broadcast screen was constantly decelerating.
When decelerating to 30m/s, the landing gear opened, and it is worth mentioning that the landing of the Star Arrow 1703 heavy rocket was descended by inertia, and there was no hovering action before landing, because the landing of the offshore platform generally does not carry out secondary ignition.
Finally, at the moment 9 minutes and 53 seconds after the rocket launch, Star Arrow International set a new record in the history of human space launches, successfully achieved the feat of second-stage rocket recovery for the first time, and won this honor.
The second-hand rocket of the core stage was successfully landed on the barge landing platform under the witness of the world's attention.
It is worth mentioning that this time the picture is not a shot on a barge, because the signal will be interfered with when landing, and the signal is transmitted to the satellite through the offshore platform, and then the satellite is transmitted to the major platforms.
However, commercial DJI drones can perfectly undertake the shooting task, but they have to shoot from a distance, so the picture is not high-definition.
At this moment, the background sound of the live broadcast room cheered one after another, and reached a new peak, and the live broadcast camera also gave the flight control center a secondary lens to show to the audience all over the world.
At this moment, the staff of the flight control center finally couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and after holding their breath for nearly 10 minutes, they completely broke out.
The barrage in the major live broadcast rooms has completely exploded, and the people who eat melons at home and abroad have blown up the forum.
"It's really amazing, praise the wisdom of mankind."
"As an aerospace enthusiast in the magnesium country, when you see this scene, please be sure to give me a trip to the old vinegar in China, it's sour."
"Screaming with excitement, this is the future, the future of infinite possibilities."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sea of stars still needs us to work hard."
"That's going to save a lot of money."
"No one pays attention to the satellites of Bluestar Technology anymore, and the announcer has already reported that the satellite has been docked into the scheduled orbit, and no one is discussing it, haha."
"Once upon a time, how many people loved to watch satellite docking, but now they only pay attention to the rocket and go to 2333"
"I may be inflated and proud."
"Please be confident, remove the possibility, and boldly expand and be proud."
"That's Academician Yang."
"I heard that Academician Yang Jian'an is the chief designer of the Star Arrow series."
"Everyone is cheering, only Yang Lao is stable, but seeing his expression is inexplicably a little distressed, Yang Lao has worked hard, we all know how much pressure the Star Arrow team is under."
"Salute to all the astronauts who are fighting on the front line, whether famous or unknown, you are all heroes."
……
The camera gave Yang Jian'an a close-up, when everyone couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and completely released it to carnival, he sat quietly in his place, and his calm face felt a sense of relief.
It worked!
That's enough!
I'm afraid outsiders don't know how much pressure he's been facing during this time, only he knows.
Time passed minute by minute, and at this moment it was already 33 minutes and 57 seconds after the launch of "Star Arrow 1703", and the satellite had already circled the sky several times, and the live data showed that the speed at this time was as high as 35,224 kilometers per hour, and the altitude reached 704 kilometers.
This satellite will bring greater optimization and upgrade to Bluestar Technology's map service.
Forty minutes later, just when the audience was still unsatisfied, but when they were about to leave the live broadcast room, the camera switched to another scene, which once again made the vast majority of the audience choose to continue watching.
It is no exaggeration to say that the audience who has watched the live broadcast of the launch until now are all enthusiastic fans of Luo Sheng.
The live broadcast of this launch has undoubtedly made countless people excited and enthusiastic, and has also affected thousands of young people, and young people who have dreams of devoting themselves to the aerospace industry are more determined in their future path.
Many college students are secretly determined to study hard to join Star Arrow International in the future, because Luo Sheng, because of Star Arrow International, and because of what is happening at this moment, they are more and more convinced that the journey of the sea of stars can start from Star Arrow International.
The camera in the live broadcast room was a temporary media conference hall, and the audience saw a large number of domestic and foreign media reporters on the scene.
At this moment, at the media conference, Luo Sheng, who was standing on the podium, put his hands on the edge of the podium, and the strobe screen of the camera kept hitting him, and Luo Sheng had a bright smile on his face.
Of course he was happy, how could he not be happy about this situation, especially when Star Arrow International was making history, but SpaceX overturned yesterday, and he could have predicted that tomorrow's news report would be particularly interesting.
At this moment, Luo Sheng is presiding over this temporary press conference as the CEO of Star Arrow International.
"I announce that the launch mission of Xingjian 1703 was a complete success, and the booster rocket and the second-hand rocket of the core first stage were successfully recovered, which is also the first time in human history that a second-hand rocket was successfully launched and recovered, and we have made history."
As soon as the words fell, the reporters on the scene gave warm applause, and the vast majority of domestic media people applauded from the bottom of their hearts, and they were also very excited, which is not only the success of Star Arrow International, but also the significance is more than that.
The foreign media reporters politely applauded.
"I've seen the Internet and the media blaming me for the success of the Star Rocket launch mission, and frankly, I deserve it. I don't have any credit, all the credit is to Academician Yang Jian'an, all the staff and all the engineers in Star Arrow International, without their years of hard work, there would be no today's achievements. ”
"To tell you the truth, a week before the launch of Star Arrow 1703, I was still on vacation under a coconut tree in Sanya."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and the fans and viewers who watched the live broadcast called the archbishop's mentality stable.
In fact, if the launch fails, Luo Sheng will definitely be sprayed when he says this, and melon-eating netizens don't care if you are the richest man in the world or the first person in contemporary technology, the spray is absolutely unambiguous.
But now that it's successful, it's different, lick and it's over.
However, it is one thing for Luo Sheng to be so modest, and everyone also knows that if he had not supported the domestic aerospace industry for several years, tens of billions of dollars would have been burned into it, and it would not have been possible to achieve today's achievements.
You must know that Star Arrow International's annual R&D investment is not less than 40 billion yuan, and the "Star Arrow" series of rocket recycling projects alone have smashed nearly 50 billion yuan into it, but the R&D department of Star Arrow International is not only in this field, the new material research project of Professor Liu Jianwei's team, as well as the nanorobot research team project of Hafnium University of Technology that he recommended and dug up by Star Arrow International, are constantly burning money.
In contrast, the national space budget is only 13 billion yuan a year, and although money is not universal to engage in cutting-edge technology, it is really basically impossible to do without money, and without money, even laboratories cannot be provided, how can technology progress?
