"Ten minutes to prepare!"
Following this order, there was silence in the command and control hall. The technicians were all attentive, watching every data on their screens to ensure nothing was missed.
Wu Hao and the others also ended their chat, staring closely at the figure of the rocket displayed on the big screen, and silently reciting the countdown numbers in their hearts.
"Five minutes to prepare!"
"One minute countdown to prepare, fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds!"
"Ten, nine, eight, seven...one, ignite, take off!"
boom! Although they were about two kilometers apart, Wu Hao and the others in the command and control hall could still hear the huge roar that erupted after the rocket was ignited.
At the same time, through the large screen, everyone in the control center could very intuitively see the bursts of flames and dust blown out from the bottom of the rocket. Under the spray of these orange-red flames, the rocket slowly began to take off.
"The rocket ignited successfully,"
"Enter program turn."
"Procedural turn completed!"
"The ground-based optical observatory reported that the rocket was flying normally and the telemetry signal tracking was normal."
Bang bang bang... Everyone present burst into warm applause. But now everyone is not relaxing, because the rocket has just taken off, and it is not yet known whether it will succeed.
When the satellite is put into orbit, when is the rocket successfully launched?
In the endless Gobi desert, a white rocket soared from the ground and hit the sky.
At the same time, the employees in the base also stood in the open area early and picked up their mobile phones to record this shocking moment.
The cars driving on the desert road in the distance also stopped one after another. Many people got out of their cars and stood on the roadside to watch.
As the first commercial launch vehicle of Haoyu Technology, this launch was also broadcast simultaneously on the Internet, as well as on VR, AR and other platforms.
And this also attracted the attention of many netizens, although this was just an ordinary launch live broadcast of a launch vehicle. However, due to the adoption of VR panoramic live broadcast technology, many netizens can see the scene immersively through the panoramic cameras installed on the base.
Especially under this sunset, in the vast Gobi Desert, the sight of a rocket shooting into the deep blue sky really shocked many people.
There are even many netizens who use screenshot tools to leave behind this beautiful and spectacular scene.
But in the command and control hall, no one could care about such a beautiful scenery. Everyone was staring at the big screen with serious expressions.
Through optical imaging radar, everyone can still clearly see the huge tail flame emitted by the rocket on the big screen.
"First and second level separation!"
"The separation of the first and second stages was successful, and the ignition of the second stage was successful!"
Bang bang bang bang...
Everyone at the scene stood up and applauded. In the black and white picture on the big screen, the rocket successfully achieved primary and secondary separation. The first-stage rocket began to fall with flames, but the second-stage rocket ignited successfully and continued flying.
However, as the rocket flies higher and higher, it is difficult for the optical imaging radar to capture it, and the large screen is replaced by an animated demonstration image to indicate the current height and status of the rocket.
"The Anxi Satellite Measurement and Control Center reported that the target was successfully captured and the current flight status of the target is normal."
"The Dragon City Satellite Measurement and Control Center reported that the target was successfully discovered and the target's flight status is normal."
…
Finally, after stopping at a series of data and passwords, an exciting news came.
"Satellite No. 1 is separated!"
Bang bang bang bang...
A burst of more applause came from the command and control hall, especially the R&D team of Satellite 1, who hugged each other excitedly and celebrated the victory.
The other two satellite representative teams also clapped and watched excitedly, and most of their hearts dropped.
"Calculate the accuracy of orbit insertion." Zhou Xiangming, who was in charge of technology and was also the deputy commander-in-chief of this launch mission, finally said at this time.
It cannot be considered a success now. It can only be considered a success if the satellite can be accurately placed into orbit. If the orbit deviation is large, emergency measures must be taken, such as adjusting the orbit by using fuel on the satellite.
But in this case, the fuel on the satellite will be greatly wasted, thereby sacrificing the life of the satellite.
Of course, the insertion of these satellites into orbit will be more or less regulated by their own fuel. The higher the rocket's orbit accuracy, the less fuel the satellite will use and the satellite's operational life will be longer.
That's why Zhou Xiangming is so anxious to calculate the orbit insertion accuracy to determine whether the launch is successful.
"Satellite No. 2 is separated, Satellite No. 3 is separated, and the satellites and arrows are separated!"
Bang bang bang... the applause from the scene rang out again, this time even more enthusiastic.
After the applause, everyone was anxiously waiting for the final result, which required calculation by the technical department and telemetry department. Under normal circumstances, it would take about ten minutes.
Wu Hao and the others are not in a hurry about this either. Compared to how nervous they were before, they are much better now. He sat down again, drank tea, and waited patiently for the results.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Yu Chengwu, as the commander-in-chief of the launch mission, hurriedly walked to the podium with the manuscript, then opened the manuscript and announced to everyone very calmly.
"After calculating the data from the three satellite measurement and control centers in Anxi, Longcheng and Daocheng, and reporting it to the Beijing Aerospace Command Center for review, the three satellites of this launch mission all accurately entered the scheduled orbit.
Among them, Star No. 1 enters a polar elliptical orbit with a perigee of 260 kilometers and an apogee of 490 kilometers.
Stars No. 2 and No. 3 enter a polar elliptical orbit with a perigee of 320 kilometers and apogee of 570 kilometers. The orbital errors of the three satellites are plus or minus kilometers, which meets the conditions for accurate orbit entry.
I announce that this launch mission of the Jianmu-1 commercial launch vehicle, one rocket and three stars, was a complete success. Thank you everyone! "
Bang bang bang bang...
This time, everyone finally no longer suppressed the emotions accumulated in their hearts and completely released them. The entire command hall became a sea of joy. The technicians who had escaped from the mission were roaring, cheering, shouting, crying, laughing, and hugging, as if they wanted to let go of the pressure they had accumulated for so long. Release it.
Our journey is the stars and the sea!
On the big screen, there was this line of cursive typing, as well as a rabbit looking up at the sky.
Run forward, facing cold looks and ridicule.
How can you feel the vastness of life without experiencing hardships?
Fate cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy.
Even if blood is spilled all over my arms.
Keep running, with pure pride!
…
Such a familiar inspirational song rang out from the speakers, and everyone sang along. As they sang, their eyes were filled with tears.
The same goes for Wu Hao and others. Under the influence of so many young people, they feel that they have become high-spirited and proud teenagers.
