Chapter 1546 Launch Satellite

At 22:00 on the evening of October 5, 1992, there were still 24 hours before the satellite was launched.

Start to fill the rocket that launches the satellite with fuel.

October 6th, after five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xiaobai, Mou Qizhong and others finished their meal and came to the command room.

Of course, they definitely can't command, and they won't let them command indiscriminately. This is no joke.

Needless to say, the satellites launched this time are not all Huade Satellite Technology Company, but they are all Huade satellites. Also need professional technical personnel to command.

Jiang Xiaobai and Mou Qizhong, of course, it doesn't matter.

It is better to highlight the theme, which is even better.

Yes, before Mou Qizhong came from China, he did not bring the company's people alone, but also brought several newspapers.

and are national newspaper media reporters. Although they are national newspaper media, they are also very interested in such news.

After all, domestic private enterprises have already launched satellites abroad. This is big news.

When the Huade Satellite Technology Company was founded, they had a lot of reports.

But at the time, they were all interrogative sentences. They were skeptical about whether the Huade Satellite Technology Company was sensational or whether it could actually successfully launch satellites.

And now is the time to witness the miracle, how could they not come.

If it succeeds, it will be a major historical event for domestic private enterprises. In just a few years, private enterprises will have the strength to launch satellites abroad.

"How about Xiaobai, take a photo in a while, and when it is sent back to China, it will explode immediately..."

Mou Qizhong smiled and said that he was very satisfied with his decision to bring the media reporter back.

I just can't open a bank by myself, but if I launch a satellite, I will definitely gain great prestige. It will be much easier to find funds for the project at that time.

"Well, it is estimated to cause a sensation." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, usually he doesn't like to be in the limelight.

However, Huaqing Holdings is also very delicate in China. On the one hand, the relationship with Longcheng in Jin Province is not good. On the other hand, Huaqing Holdings is actively looking for a next home.

So Jiang Xiaobai is not disgusted with the media reporter's arrangement this time, but is very happy.

To be able to reap a wave of prestige and fame, of course he is willing.

"Reporter Liu, Reporter Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you, I will take two photos later." Mou Qizhong said with a smile.

Several reporters said that there is no problem. Huade Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. did a good job, and even if Mou Qizhong didn't say it, they also wanted to take two more photos.

After Mou Qizhong explained to the reporters, Jiang Xiaobai also confessed a few words to the reporters.

After listening to Jiang Xiaobai's request, the reporters looked a little weird, but they nodded and agreed.

Time passed a little bit, and in a blink of an eye it was 21 o'clock, nine o'clock in the evening.

"Start to power up." The commander gave the order, and the rocket systems began to power up.

"everything is normal."

"Everything is normal." The various commands passed back.

"Binding the flight data and procedures of this mission..." The commander continued to give orders in an orderly manner.

There are at least a dozen more critical steps from the pre-launch preparations to the ignition launch and the launch of the satellite into the intended orbit. Any error in any of these steps may cause the launch mission to fail.

This is the beginning...

"Start the self-check program...

Start to check whether each system is normal..."

"everything is normal."

"everything is normal."

All the preparations are completed, and the time is only a few seconds before 22:00, which is ten o'clock in the evening.

A group of people have all entered the state.

The countdown started, Jiang Xiaobai glanced back at several reporters and nodded vaguely.

Then three seconds before the end of the countdown, he opened his mouth and shouted silently: "Ignite."

Of course, I just made a mouth shape without shouting.

However, the reporters whom Jiang Xiaobai had specifically confessed to before took snap shots.

It's normal for the reporters to take pictures. Everyone didn't care, and their attention was focused on the launch.

"Ignite." The commander gave the command, and the rocket started to ignite.

In a huge flame, the satellite carried a rocket and began to lift off.

Several reporters finished the media capture, and they were ready to applaud.

However, it was discovered that the others were still staring at the console closely, and several reporters were a little startled.

Isn't it over yet?

Of course it's not over. It's just a launch now, and it can't be said that it's been launched successfully. In fact, it hadn't been for these two days of making up for it.

Jiang Xiaobai and Mou Qizhong estimated that this meeting had already applauded.

Ten seconds after the rocket lifted off, it entered the procedural turning phase.

The gimbal support or vector engine equipped on the rocket engine will provide a deflection force to the rocket to help the rocket achieve a programmed turn.

Procedural turn is to save fuel while accurately sending the satellite into the predetermined orbit.

Jiang Xiaobai and Mou Qizhong continued to stare at the console, which they spent 15 million dollars on.

"The booster was successfully separated, and the first-stage rocket was turned off and the second-stage rocket was successfully ignited." Someone got up and reported at the console.

It takes almost three minutes for the rocket to launch. The rocket booster and the rocket connecting mechanism explode to complete the booster separation.

Then the first and second stage connecting mechanism of the rocket is also exploded by the explosive bolt, and the first stage rocket closes the second stage rocket ignition and uses the speed difference between the two to complete the separation.

At this time, the rocket is about 70 kilometers above the ground and flying at a speed of 1.2 kilometers per second.

Thirty seconds after the second stage rocket is successfully ignited...

"Successful separation of fairing!"

400 seconds later...

"The star and the arrow start to separate, the second stage rocket is turned off, and the upper stage is ignited..."

"The upper stage fires again..."

Li Xiaoliu explained to Jiang Xiaobai in a low voice: After the second stage rocket is closed, the remaining tasks will be completed by the upper stage of the rocket.

After the upper stage is ignited, the speed of the satellite is increased to 7.9 km/s. After the satellite enters the predetermined orbit, the separation of the satellite and the arrow is completed.

In order to improve the success rate of satellites into orbit, the upper stage of the rocket usually has the ability to fire multiple times, and the chance of success for each additional firing increases by one point. "

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. At this time, the upper stage had fired a second time, but the satellite had not entered the scheduled orbit.

Jiang Xiaobai was also a little worried. During the rocket launch, not every time was successful, let alone now.

is the aerospace technology of later generations, and I dare not say that every satellite launch can be successful.

After all, there are too many steps to successfully launch a rocket. From 24 hours before launch to 600 seconds after launch, any step of human error or mechanical failure may cause the rocket launch to fail and the satellite cannot enter orbit.
