After determining the model of the communication satellite, the follow-up production and manufacturing soon began to follow.

On the high-altitude simulation platform on the ground, the communication satellite still played a very good performance in many test items.

It performs well both in terms of aerodynamics and communication performance.

So this is why the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute dares to let Zhang Xingyang and Chen Zhongyan look at the confidence of the satellite.

Although the satellite has the problem of being overweight, there is no problem with the shape design and communication performance.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xingyang will propose to launch the most important 30 satellites directly in the first batch.

——

On June 1, the Xichang Satellite Launch Site, in the control center.

As a super-large project with an investment of more than 10 billion yuan in the first phase of construction projects, the first launch attracted the attention of many people.

As Sun Hongtao, who is in charge of domestic aerospace, he also appeared very rarely in the control center of the launch site.

Whether the investment in the first phase of the construction project can produce results depends on the performance of the next Hongyan rocket.

Whether it succeeds or fails depends on the results in the next few hours!

"Xiao Zhang, do you have any confidence in the launch?"

Sun Hongtao, who had a kind face, looked at Zhang Xingyang, who was in charge of the entire launch work, very kindly and asked.

In fact, among the many bigwigs present, most of them had no idea about this launch mission.

That's why I asked Zhang Xingyang, who is a professional, for his opinion, to give his little heart a little sustenance.

"Of course, we are confident that since we implemented the double zero management system the year before last, there has never been any accidents!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the people present and said confidently:

"I believe that this launch mission will definitely be a complete success!"

The non-aerospace system staff present seemed to have settled down and were not so nervous after seeing the confident and flamboyant look on Zhang Xingyang's face.

With the arrival of the launch window, others no longer disturbed Zhang Xingyang's work.

Began to quietly wait for the launch of the rocket on the side.

Zhang Xingyang stood in front of the rocket launch command platform, watching the red countdown on the big screen, and the seconds kept passing by second.

It is still a familiar rocket launch site, and it is not the first time that Hongyan Rocket has carried out rocket launch work at this launch site.

All parties are still familiar with the preparations for the Hongyan rocket before launch.

Therefore, the pre-launch inspection work was completed quickly.

The only problem that is more troublesome is actually the spatial layout of thirty satellites.

Because 30 satellites are launched at one time, which is not a medium-sized satellite, it is the first time in China that such an attempt has been made.

Of course, such a launch mission can be regarded as the first time in the world.

After all, very few rockets can reach such a carrying capacity as the Hongyan rocket, and those heavy rockets with thrust that exceed the Hongyan rocket.

It is usually used to launch exploration satellites to the moon or other planets of the solar system, and of course to launch manned spacecraft.

There is a big difference between the purpose of such a rocket and the Hongyan rocket, so there is no comparison between the two.

And those launch missions that have launched more than 30 satellites, many of the satellites they launch are microsatellites.

In general, such satellites have relatively special scientific research missions.

The weight of a satellite may only be a few thousand grams.

Such satellites, even if they are launched a hundred at once, do not say anything.

And this time, the Hongyan rocket is about to launch a communication satellite into the sky, although it does not weigh several tons, and it is not as good as those big brothers flying in geostationary orbit, but compared with those tiny satellites that weigh only a few thousand grams, they can be regarded as behemoths.

As the launch time approached minute by minute, many engineers at the launch site gradually evacuated the launch site.

The huge robotic arm of the launcher loosened the support that had originally supported the rocket.

The rocket has officially entered the countdown time before launch.

At this time, both the space workers and others in the control center who came to witness the construction of the satellite communication network almost held their breath.

In the huge control center, the silence at this time was terrifying, even if a needle fell on the ground, it seemed to be able to hear clearly.

Some people who are hearing well enough can even hear the breathing of those around them, and their rapid heartbeat!

"Countdown to rocket launch!"

With the passage of time, the launch opportunity that will determine the fate of the entire low-orbit satellite communication network project is about to come.

"One minute countdown!"

When there was only one minute left before the rocket launch, even Zhang Xingyang, who had always been very confident, was inevitably nervous at this time.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Launch!"

As the countdown came to an end, Zhang Xingyang's fingers unswervingly pressed the bright red rocket launch button!

The tail of the slender and slender rocket spews out azure flames!

Even after passing through the deflector groove under the rocket, it is still tens of meters long!

The chemical reaction is intense, taking place in the fuel chamber of the rocket engine, where tons and tons of liquid oxygen and kerosene react violently.

In the process of countless kerosene burning, thousands of liters of high-pressure gas are violently sprayed to the ground through the eleven tail nozzles of the thrust system.

This creates a powerful thrust that lifts hundreds of tons of rockets off the launch pad!

The rocket took off, and in less than a few seconds, it was already flying high in the air relative to the plane.

"Twin Cities, optical tracking is normal!"

"Yangcheng, radar tracking is normal!"

"Yuantu No. 6, radar tracking is normal!"

All optical monitoring stations and radar stations along the path of the rocket reported that the rocket's flight trajectory was normal.

Many people present breathed a sigh of relief, after all, judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no big problem with the flight process of the first-stage rocket.

"The separation of the first stage rocket was successful!"

"The two-stage rocket engine was successfully ignited!"

"The first-stage rocket is returning to the landing site!"

One good news after another, back to the control center.

Everyone was encouraged by the good news and worked harder.

"The two-stage rocket reaches the predetermined orbital altitude!"

"The No. 1 communication satellite was successfully released!"

Hearing the successful release of the No. 1 satellite, cheers rang out in the entire control center.

Soon, however, everyone was back engaged in intense work.

Moreover, at this time, the personnel responsible for the test of communication satellites also began to devote themselves to the test of satellites and began their own work.

"The No. 2 communication satellite was successfully released!"

"The 30th communication satellite has been successfully released!"

"All communication satellites have been put into orbit!"

The crowd in the control center, even if they weren't space system workers, could feel the excitement of the rest of the people on the scene.

"I declare that the Hongyan rocket has succeeded in killing 30 stars with one stone!"

Zhang Xingyang, as the commander-in-chief of the entire launch mission, announced the successful launch after confirming that the satellites had started to work normally!
