Chapter 1074 ["Blue Arrow-5A" Recyclable Heavy-Duty Rocket]
Fang Hong laid out the layout of the SGX and the foreign exchange market game, and he finally shifted his energy from the capital market.
On Monday, September 14, a bombshell news came out from the aerospace industry that night, and Kyushu Blue Arrow was on the headlines of the world today.
Just over two hours ago in the evening, the third launch test of the latest generation of heavy-duty rocket "Blue Arrow-5A" dual recovery technology under Kyushu Blue Arrow achieved unprecedented success.
A great deal of high-definition detail was captured by the rocket's tracking camera, and it is called a heavy-lift rocket because it has two Blue Arrow-2C rockets launched together as a first-stage booster.
Now the whole network is forwarding a high-definition video clip shot by a rocket tracking camera with a duration of about 2 and a half minutes, and the two "Blue Arrow-2C" rockets in the video screen are ignited and lifted into space, and the powerful thrust automatically completes the separation of the satellite after sending it into the predetermined orbit, and then turns the direction and flies almost vertically from an altitude of 10,000 meters to the landing base designated by the Kyushu Blue Arrow.
In this process, it can be seen from the video that the head of the "Blue Arrow-2C" rocket constantly spews gas to adjust its attitude perpendicular to the ground, and the flames that continue to spew out from the tail of the rocket make it slow down from 10,000 kilometers per hour and brake in advance.
The shocking picture was like a goddess scattering flowers, and finally before landing at the base, the engine started strongly again and landed accurately and steadily on the designated base platform. This technology requires rocket remote sensing to control the attitude autonomously, and human intervention is incomprehensible, and it requires a high degree of use of sensing technology, computer technology, and AI technology.
This is a technology that the aerospace industry, especially the domestic aerospace industry, could not think of before, and it has also made many domestic well-known Vs speechless, of course, on the contrary, it has made many patriots extremely excited.
Because of the success of the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket this time, it has achieved a leapfrog lead in this field, and it is definitely far ahead.
Its low-earth orbit payload has reached an astonishing 75.5 tons, becoming the world's first low-earth orbit payload among the world's in-service rockets, and the "Saturn-5" rocket on América's side has reached a payload of 140 tons, but the problem is that Lao Mei can't make a second one by herself now.
The drawings are not complete, and it is impossible to build a second "Saturn-5" rocket.
In other words, the largest payload rocket is the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-load rocket, which can be comparable to it and is in the same load echelon, only the "Falcon 9" heavy rocket being developed by SpaceX, with a payload of about 63 tons.
However, SpaceX's "Falcon 9" has not been successfully tested so far, and according to the information previously disclosed by Elon Musk, the launch test will be launched in December this year, and there are still more than two months to go.
Obviously, Kyushu Blue Arrow has taken the lead, and its "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket was successfully launched today and has won this competition.
There is a comparison to show the gap, but also more can reflect the speed of technological progress of Kyushu Blue Arrow in recent years, and now it can be basically determined that the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket is the most advanced in China and the most advanced heavy-duty rocket in the world.
Guo Jia's "Chang-5 rocket" is also a heavy-duty rocket, but the low-orbit payload is only about 25 tons, while the payload of the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket is three times its size.
Just from the block, it can be intuitively reflected that the height of Guo Jia's "Chang-5 rocket" is 57 meters, and the height of the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket has reached 78.89 meters, which is almost 25 stories high.
Another major technical highlight is that the double recovery booster of the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket is an improved version of the "Blue Arrow-2C" rocket, this type of rocket can undertake the launch mission alone, and this time as the booster of the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket, it has been recovered seven times before, and this is the eighth time to reuse.
The achievements are far more than that, this time the launch test of the "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-load rocket is also responsible for the task of "one arrow with multiple satellites", and it has once again set a new world record.
The "Blue Arrow-5A" heavy-duty rocket launched this time carried 124 satellites, breaking the record for the highest number of satellites launched in a single launch, and was an order of magnitude ahead of the previous record, directly advancing the "one arrow with multiple satellites" technology to a three-digit level.
These satellites have a single mass of about 600 kilograms, and after launch, 124 satellites were released in 12 waves, and finally 121 satellites were successfully parked into the designated orbit.
That night, many netizens from all over the world saw the shocking picture of more than ten "stars" lining up in the starry sky in the night sky, and the clear night sky was visible to the naked eye.
And some astronomy enthusiasts also captured and filmed it, and uploaded it to the Internet to cause heated discussions.
Kyushu Blue Arrow made a big news this time, whether it was experts, the media, or people in the aerospace industry, they couldn't sit still, and even foreign media couldn't ignore it and had to report on it.
This success is too far ahead in the world's aerospace industry, and its significance is even more far-reaching.
You must know that Qunxing Capital has a series of space engineering projects, first of all, the "daily project" to build a space solar power station, and then the permanent super orbital reef space station, as well as the Sky Survey Space Telescope project, Mars exploration project, Saturn exploration project, etc.
These large-scale space engineering projects are waiting for Kyushu Blue Arrow to "send express", the schedule can be said to be full, and the progress of its rocket development or directly or indirectly affects the speed of the progress of many space engineering project plans.
For the launch of the "one arrow and multiple satellites" mission, Kyushu Blue Arrow also announced that it will open a potentially lucrative business line, with a mass of about 600 kg for a single small satellite and a starting price of about 3 million yuan, which can provide relatively cheap services for small satellite companies to enter space.
It only takes 3 million yuan to send a small satellite up, and small and medium-sized enterprises can build a satellite on their own, which is absolutely competitive.
However, Kyushu Blue Arrow said so at this time, but did not accept this kind of commercial order.
……
The next Tuesday, at around 10 a.m., Fang Hong came to the study on the second floor of the villa.
At this moment, the heads of several heavyweight subsidiaries of the galaxy are also sitting in front of their respective computers to start a video conference, and the big boss Fang Hong initiated a video conference, which was attended by Chen Yu, the head of quantitative capital, Qin Feng, the head of Xingyu Technology, Xu Jingren, the head of quantum beating, and Luo Liang, the head of Kyushu Blue Arrow.
These companies can be found at random, either at the level of giants, or at the top of the line.
Fang Hong came to the screen and sat down and said bluntly: "The purpose of calling the big guys over today is to create a new industrial chain, relying on a large number of orbital satellite groups to build a brand-new, covering the world, and detaching from the Internet controlled by the United States. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Hong looked around at the audience and added: "For this reason, I have decided to set up a new company to be responsible for the task of networking, this network is called 'Star Network', and this network will form our satellite telecommunications network platform." ”
