The screen in the control center shows the current operating status of the rocket at all times.

Everyone is very nervous now, and the rocket launch has reached the final kick.

No one wants to fail at a time like this.

Zhang Xingyang stood up even more nervously, his body half-tilted and staring at the screen with various data constantly changing.

"Three-stage rocket ignition..."

The young man in charge of broadcasting the operation status of the rocket was obviously a little frightened by the current state of the rocket.

After a few seconds, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:

"Failure!"

Zhang Xingyang felt as if his body had been drained of strength at this moment, and he was about to fall to the console in front of him.

Fortunately, Geng Bo on the side was quick and helped him up.

"Try a second ignition!"

Although Zhang Xingyang did not personally give instructions, everyone still dealt with it according to the emergency plan prepared not long ago.

It is wanted to control the three-stage rocket engine for secondary ignition.

The three-stage rocket engine of the Chang-3 rocket uses a hydrogen-oxygen engine with a thrust that is not very large.

Using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as the energy source of the engine, the working time is not very long, so the working requirements for the engine are not particularly strict.

That's exactly what happened.

The time to be able to salvage a three-stage rocket engine was, in fact, very short.

If it is not possible to re-ignite the rocket engine within this short period of time.

Then the three-stage rocket will be accompanied by a fairing containing satellites, and will fall to the earth under the gravitational pull of the planet.

Even if the fairing is thrown out in advance, find a way to rely on the power of the satellite itself for movement.

But in doing so, the satellite does not reach the orbital altitude to which it should have been.

Even if it barely reaches a working orbital altitude, it will still greatly shorten the service life of the satellite due to the excessive fuel consumption of the satellite itself.

Originally, it was designed to theoretically last for fifteen years, but after such an operation, it may not have a service life of fifteen months.

Moreover, the range of the satellite will be greatly reduced compared with the original design range.

The electrical signal of the second ignition of the rocket engine reaches the ignition device within one thousandth of a second.

The people in the control center are nervously waiting for the results of the second ignition.

If the ignition fails again this time, then the three-stage rocket can basically give up the treatment and pronounce the death sentence.

No one knows what the current state of the third pole of the Chang-3 rocket, far in the ionosphere of the upper atmosphere, is.

Most of the people in the center prayed silently in their hearts, and although most of the scientific research staff present were atheists, everyone was still looking forward to a miracle at this time.

Time passed by second by second.

Although only a dozen seconds have passed from radar monitoring to the failure of the ignition of the three-stage rocket engine.

But in hindsight, many people still think that it was just a dozen seconds, which was longer than many hours in the past.

Zhang Xingyang's forehead kept bursting with layers of sweat.

Since coming to this era, Zhang Xingyang has never had such a nervous time.

In my mind, I kept simulating the state of the rocket engine.

Although in the course of several rapid simulations, the results of the second ignition were successful.

But after all, the real world is not logical, and all kinds of unexpected situations are possible.

So it can't eliminate the tension in Zhang Xingyang's heart.

"Three-stage rocket engine, second ignition successful!"

The young man who was in charge of broadcasting the operation status of the rocket shouted excitedly.

Zhang Xingyang's originally low head instantly stared at the big screen in front of him.

It shows that the three-stage rocket engine has successfully ignited the second time and has begun to move towards the intended orbit.

It worked!

Zhang Xingyang couldn't help but shout in his heart.

No one knows better than he what matters here.

If this time fails, the reputation of the Dragon Nation's space launch will be rotten internationally, and no overseas company will be willing to hand over the commercial launch mission to the Dragon Country.

But fortunately, the second ignition of the three-stage rocket was successful, and there was basically no failure in the back.

Even if the satellite's solar panels fail to deploy, it has nothing to do with the rocket.

When I came to this era, I finally did something that really changed history.

"Xingyang, we succeeded."

Geng Bo also said very excitedly on the side.

Zhang Xingyang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily:

"Yes, the three-stage rocket engine was successfully ignited, and it was basically smooth sailing behind it!"

In fact, the same is true that the three-stage rocket engine will soon be able to get the satellite to the orbit it is supposed to be in as soon as it starts working.

The large screen shows the three-stage rocket with a fairing, and the height is getting higher and higher.

Of course, at this time, the three-stage rocket is getting farther and farther away from the launch base, and at this time, only the ocean-going monitoring ship above the ocean can continuously track the position of the rocket.

This is also because the Dragon Kingdom at this time has not deployed too many monitoring satellites in space.

Otherwise, only a few satellites are needed to continuously monitor the rocket's flight trajectory.

Signals from ocean-going monitoring vessels are continuously transmitted to rocket launch bases through reflections from the atmospheric ionosphere.

"Three-stage rocket detachment!"

The three-stage rocket with the satellite has reached the predetermined orbital altitude, and the Blue Star is in static orbit.

Geostatic orbit is also the orbit of many communication satellites, where the position of the satellite remains unchanged from the surface of the planet at any time, so it is called geostationary orbit.

Of course, this track is located above the equator.

"The satellite was successfully put into orbit!"

Accompanied by a shout from the announcer.

Throughout the control center, there was a lot of noise.

Everyone cheered the success of this moment, regardless of the original job function.

are all hugging tightly with the people around them.

Chanting:

"We made it!"

Zhang Xingyang hugged Su Xiao beside him tightly and kept shouting:

"It worked!"

"We made it!"

Although Su Xiao looked a little shy, Zhang Xingyang obviously didn't think too much about it.

Turning his head, he picked up Geng Bo beside him again, patted him on the back vigorously, and kept repeating his words.

At this time, even reporters who are not astronauts are infected by this breath of excitement.

Keep hugging and cheering with the people around me.

The astronauts present were also not hesitant to share their happiness with others.

As for the little brother with the camera, he kept recording the lively scenes in the control center.

Years later, this video record will be recorded in many documentaries and become a testament to the country's space industry.
