【10、9、8、7…… 3, 2, 1 ignition】

01 The commander's voice resounded in the flight control center, and the audience also heard the word "ignition" in the background sound of the live broadcast screen.

At this moment, the tourists watching the scene in the outer security area exclaimed, and the launch site suddenly rose into the sky, and after waiting for a while, the star arrow slowly rose into the air, and after a while, the earthquake of the earth and the shocking roar were transmitted.

Watching live and watching in the live broadcast room are two completely different feelings, and the feeling of being on the scene is incomparably shocking, both feeling small as a human being and feeling great because human beings have created all this.

"Oh~~"

"Rush the duck!"

The audience at the scene also broke out into warm cheers, while the stars and arrows flew into the sky, but also let everyone's heart stir, most of the tourists and audiences who came to the scene are aerospace enthusiasts, and they are very young, and they are most excited about this kind of scene.

The biggest significance of the public live broadcast lies in this, it can inspire young people to care more about and even devote themselves to the aerospace industry, and it is also to tell people with lofty ideals in China that if they don't want to be satisfied with just being an audience, they want to participate in it and join Star Arrow International.

At the scene, a girl looked at the shocking picture in front of her, her small mouth opened into a goose egg, and after a while, she asked her boyfriend next to her: "What are those white fogs?" Why didn't the rocket spew out flames when it was launched? ”

Her boyfriend is obviously an aerospace enthusiast, and when he heard the question of the female ticket, he explained without hesitation:

"That's water vapor, do you see those two big shelves on the launch platform? In the two large shelves, there is a large flow of water spray cooling and noise reduction system, and the temperature of the tail flame can reach nearly 3,000 degrees when the rocket is launched. ”

"Therefore, there must be a large flow of water spray cooling and noise reduction system to protect the entire launch platform, they will spray water before the rocket is launched, and the huge flame will release a large amount of water vapor, which will form the entire launch site when we see the rocket launch almost white fog wrapped."

Girlfriend: "It's amazing~~"

[Telephoto captures the target, the telemetry signal is normal]

The rocket continued to accelerate steadily, and the real-time monitoring data was continuously transmitted to the flight control center, and the staff present were staring intently at their respective data panels.

This launch experiment is not only for the recovery of the second-stage rocket, Star Arrow also carries a $237 million satellite from Bluestar Technology, and if the launch fails, the loss will be great.

Luo Sheng will also have pain in his flesh for a while.

It is also the Blue Star Technology that he founded, otherwise after the last time the satellite was bombed, it would definitely not be handed over to Star Arrow International to carry out the launch mission, if it is another company, I am afraid that you have to find a traditional commercial satellite launch or SpaceX to complete it, after all, the success rate of the latter is as high as 94%, and the current launch success rate of Star Arrow International is only about 53%.

If yesterday's SpaceX rocket bombing was a fireworks display worth $60 million, if Star Arrow International also blew it up, it would be a fireworks display worth nearly $300 million.

It's expensive.

As time passes, the real-time data in the live broadcast room displays the current altitude, speed and other information of the rocket.

When the rocket was launched for 2 minutes and 39 seconds, the real-time data showed that the altitude was 60.9 kilometers and the speed was 5,906 kilometers per hour.

[Booster separation, start recycling]

There are five shots in the live broadcast room, and the background is the earth, which is picturesque from the perspective of the rocket.

Everyone watched as the four boosters detached from the main body of the star arrow and began to return to Earth.

And this also detonated the first sensation, and the interaction in the webcast room increased dramatically.

"The booster separation suddenly accelerated, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers in two seconds became an acceleration of 100 kilometers in one second."

"The rocket in the back just now adjusted its posture so handsome that it was just like watching a science fiction movie."

"The second-hand rocket is coming home."

"The earth is really round, and now I believe it."

"What else can you say but."

"The cloth of the cow pen is dazzling, Star Arrow International This is the real-time picture of the whole audience, and the launch of the CZ series rockets is simulated in 3D."

"The camera is too stable."

"It's really exciting, and the happiest thing is that this is not Lao Mei on the show, but our company on the show."

……

At the same time, the four boosters have begun to enter the stage of recovery and return to the surface, and will eventually achieve fixed-point recovery on a dedicated landing platform at the launch site, but this is not the point, land recovery is already quite a mature technology.

The highlight of the day is the offshore platform recovery of the core-first stage rocket.

At 3 minutes and 39 seconds, the rocket altitude officially exceeded 100 kilometers, and the speed reached 10,721 kilometers per hour.

At this time, the audience saw the star arrow under the camera separating again.

【Core level shedding】

The background sound in the live broadcast room was cheered again at the same time as the announcer reported.

Here comes the main event, the core-first rocket begins to re-enter the atmosphere.

The rocket continued to lift off, and the time passed minute by minute, and by 4 minutes and 11 seconds, the rocket had reached an altitude of 121 kilometers and a speed of 11,238 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, the broadcast of the flight control center was heard again on the live broadcast screen.

【Throwing fairing】

Everyone is getting more and more excited, especially the engineers of the "Star Arrow" project team, who are really moving forward every minute and every second, and they are one step closer to success.

As the rockets continue to rise steadily, the storyboard of the four booster rockets changes, and viewers have noticed that the background surface is getting larger and the outline of the surface is becoming clearer.

This means that the booster is continuing to land towards the surface, already getting closer and closer to the ground.

At this time, it was not very obvious, but by 7 minutes and 35 seconds of the rocket launch, the camera perspective changed to a vertical overlook, and the landing platform on the ground was clearly visible.

At the same time, a high-definition still shot of another ground land landing platform is given.

At 7 minutes and 50 seconds, the four boosters landed smoothly and orderly on the scheduled recovery platform under the witness of everyone, and the four boosters stood on the ground with dust and white fog.

At this moment, the background sound in the live broadcast room cheered excitedly again, and the barrage interaction gradually exploded.

“66666……”

"Look at Ma Ma, the rocket is flying upside down."

"It's too TM sci-fi."

"Cow Pi, an exclamation from the bottom of my heart."

"At this time, no one pays attention to the satellite 2333 of Bluestar Technology in the sky"

"Sci-fi like a fertile Maye."

"Perch: I don't believe it."

"It doesn't look high, but it's actually a big booster."

"I really saw tears, who said that only Emperor Magnesium can master the core technology?"

"The archbishop is mighty!"

……

Luo Sheng, who was in the flight control center, also paid attention to the live launch throughout the whole process, and as a bystander, he didn't say a word, and he was very calm on the surface, but the current atmosphere was impossible to say that he was not infected, and his heart was becoming more and more surging.

The launch experiment can be said to be a global attention, whether it is the general public, the scientific and technological circles, the aerospace community, the business community, and the academic circles are all watching strongly.

Yesterday, SpaceX's second-hand rocket was recovered and exploded in less than 800 meters, giving the world a $60 million fireworks display.

Today, Star Arrow International once again challenges the boundaries of human space technology, and so far everything is going smoothly, and the probability of success is increasing with every minute and every second.

Many people are looking forward to the arrival of a historic moment, and there are also many people who are looking forward to the overturn of Star Arrow International, including Elon Musk, who is secretly observing.

Only when Star Arrow International overturns will SpaceX have a chance to regain the title of "first" in used rocket recycling.

At this moment, Luo Sheng left the flight control center, came to an unmanned corridor alone, and immediately took out his mobile phone.

"Cortana, fully monitor the entire network."

"Yes!"

Xiao Na responded cutely, Luo Sheng returned to the flight control center again, and then it was the highlight of the main play, you have to prevent an old beauty from secretly flirting with your yin legs and interfering with you, and there is nothing wrong with sailing the 10,000-year-old ship carefully.

When the time came to 9 minutes and 35 seconds into the air, the cheers in the live broadcast room rose again, and the camera had all been recovered by the core first-stage rocket, and every viewer who watched the live broadcast noticed that the background of the picture was blue.

Everyone knows that the Pacific Ocean is down there.

Far away from the launch center, more than 1,600 kilometers away from the launch center, a huge barge is stationed on the calm sea, and there is a huge and eye-catching ring mark in the middle of the landing platform, which is the logo of Star Arrow International.

The sea barge appeared in the live broadcast room for the first time, and the sharp-eyed audience noticed a fleeting shot of a warship on the distant coastline.

At the same time, the landing deceleration of the core-first rocket has begun.

The audience watched the live broadcast with bated breath, and the mentality of the followers was different, some expected success, and some expected to overturn.

Everyone knows whether they can create a new feat in the history of human space launches, and it will be revealed in less than half a minute.
