Chapter 500: Success Makes History

The global record for multiple satellites for launch vehicles is 104 satellites recently set by India.

Of course, some people have commented that India's multi-star shooting is just a bag of potatoes thrown into space, because among the 104 satellites, according to the mass of most of the satellites, it is really the weight of a small bag of potatoes.

Of course, this kind of technology that kills multiple stars with one stone also shows the achievements of the Indians in aviation technology, which cannot be denied.

And the technology of killing multiple birds with one stone is only in the hands of a few countries.

Killing multiple stars with one stone, it is like the Olympic Games, and on this record, there is a fierce competition among all countries.

Seven years ago, the United States successfully launched 29 satellites into space with a carrier rocket, setting a new record for more than one satellite with one rocket for the first time.

But this record was only held for two days before the Russians launched 32 satellites on a launch vehicle modified from a Satan ICBM.

Subsequently, Russia also set a new record of 37 stars with one stone.

Only recently was it surpassed by the Indians' 104 stars.

However, of the 104 satellites launched by India, the most massive one is the main satellite of 730 kilograms, and 101 of them are nanosatellites weighing 10 kilograms.

The Future Technology Group will launch more than 700 satellites, and each satellite has the same mass of 250 kilograms, and the total mass of the satellites alone is as high as 175 tons.

This will not only refresh the record of mankind killing multiple stars with one stone, but also directly refresh the record of human launch vehicles carrying the largest mass at one time.

And this record will be impossible to surpass in a short period of time.

Moreover, the Future Technology Group is also in place in one step, and the entire satellite network system covering the whole world will be directly established at one time.

You must know that in the United States, there is also a similar launch plan, and it is also planned to launch about 700 network satellites in the earth's low earth orbit, but it takes a year to launch and occupies most of the launch vehicle launches.

"The launch of this launch vehicle is not only extremely difficult to launch 700 satellites with one arrow, but also each satellite needs to be accurately placed in the planned orbit, which requires the space capsule to rely on its own thrusters to work in low-earth orbit for up to 48 hours before it can completely release all the satellites."

Huang Wenkang gave a brief introduction to the difficulties of the launch of the launch vehicle.

In fact, what Huang Wenkang is talking about is only some of the more difficult technical difficulties, in fact, from the launch of the carrier rocket to the entire technology of multiple satellites with one arrow, every link is not simple.

Of course, the difficulty of this launch did not reach the most difficult level, because the 700 satellites to be launched are all in orbit at the same altitude, and there is no need for the capsule to rely on its own power to change the orbit.

Releasing multiple different satellites into multiple orbits at different altitudes, or even directly into geostationary orbits, is the more difficult technique.

And this technology has also been mastered by China, the United States, Russia and the European Union.

India's kind of multi-star killing, although it has set a new record of more than one stone, but the technical content is low.

If the Future Science and Technology Group uses this class of carrier rockets to complete the accurate delivery of multiple satellites with one rocket and different orbital altitudes, it will not be able to carry 700 satellites of such a huge quantity and quality at one time.

However, no matter how difficult the technology is, such a large carrying quality and such a huge quantity alone is difficult for any country in the world to accomplish, even the United States.

As long as this launch can be successful, it will be enough for Future Technology Group to surpass any company and country in the world in satellite launch technology.

In the launch control center, these bigwigs of global science and technology related enterprises are waiting, and the time for the launch of the launch vehicle is slowly approaching.

At half past one in the afternoon, the launch control center also began a ten-second countdown to launch.

In zero seconds, the rocket ignited successfully, and the huge carrier rocket spewed out a scorching tail flame, and the ground was filled with fog, quickly covering the body of the rocket, but the rocket that took off smoothly soon broke through the blockade of the smoke, like a sharp sword straight into the sky.

At the same time, the skyline alert satellites of China, the United States and Russia also quickly discovered the satellite launch.

At the same time, it also received a notice from the Future Technology Group, which is the launch vehicle of the Future Technology Group.

The launch vehicle lifted off quickly, the flight attitude was always very stable, and a few minutes later, the launch vehicle delivered the capsule to a low-earth orbit 200 kilometers above the ground.

The launch vehicle and the capsule separated, and the thrusters of the capsule itself ignited and changed the flight attitude, while the first satellite carried was released.

At this time, the launch vehicle that completed the mission, after detaching from the space capsule, maintained its previous flight attitude, and the balance wing of the launch vehicle opened and fell in the direction of the Indian Ocean.

On the main display of the launch control center, the descent of the launch vehicle is also all shown.

The altitude quickly descended from 150 kilometers, and after entering the atmosphere, there was a violent friction with the atmosphere. Wipe.

Musk and others, who were watching at the scene, were also nervous.

Because they found that this rocket recovery technology was much more difficult than they imagined.

The recovery of the Falcon rocket is only the recovery of the first stage of the rocket, but the people are recycling the entire 95-meter-high launch vehicle as a whole.

And it is directly descended from space to the earth, whether it is difficulty or technical height, it is not comparable to the Falcon rocket.

Landing of a launch vehicle, violently motorized with the atmosphere. Rub, as the propellers of the launch vehicle re-ignited, because of the decrease in the speed of falling, the Mo. The rubbing strength gradually decreases.

The launch vehicle, which was about to turn into a fireball, also appeared clearly on the screen, and the speed was still very fast towards the endless Indian Ocean below.

At this moment, in the Indian Ocean, a moored ship specializing in the recovery of launch vehicles has long been waiting in the Indian Ocean.

However, the weather is not beautiful, and the Indian Ocean is undulating, and the moored ship that recovers the rocket can be seen rocking on the sea.

The launch vehicle that landed quickly was accurately aimed at the moored ship shaking on the sea, and once again made two major adjustments to reduce the speed, and maintained a steady landing speed, and landed steadily on the berthing ship when everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

When the launch vehicle stopped on the berthing ship and was erected on the moored ship, a huge cheer rang out in the launch control center.

At the scene, whether it was Musk or Bezos, their faces were not very good, because the scene in front of them was destined to go down in history and did not belong to them.
