"It's not impossible. Haoyu Technology has always had close cooperation with the military and is engaged in the research and development of many major weapons and equipment projects. So in this way, it is no surprise to participate in such a project." "No way, I I think it should be related to our space station, similar to some experimental modules."
"That being said, it's possible. It might even be similar to a cargo spacecraft."
"I agree, I prefer this type of cargo spacecraft. After all, the operation and subsequent construction of the space station also require sufficient and cheap transportation capacity. If this retractable launch vehicle is successfully launched, it will further reduce the launch cost, thereby bringing more Experimental equipment is transported to the space station."
"I'll go, this is competing with the country for jobs."
"I think it is a good thing. The rise of private aerospace companies is conducive to promoting the development of the domestic aerospace field. From an overall perspective, it is very beneficial."
From a long-term development perspective, the benefits of introducing private enterprises into the aerospace technology industry, especially the important aerospace technology industry, outweigh the disadvantages. However, the specific implementation must take into account the actual situation. After all, the rocket and aerospace industry has been state-owned for a long time. This sudden opening to private enterprises is bound to cause some problems, so we must be cautious.
I don’t think it can be a cargo spacecraft. Whether it is the Jianmu-1 low-cost disposable rocket or the Jianmu-2 retractable rocket that is about to be launched this time, its carrying capacity is very limited. Take the slightly stronger Jianmu-2, for example. Its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity can reach 4.2 tons, and its sun-synchronous orbit can reach 2.3 tons.
The average cargo spacecraft weighs seven to eight tons or even more than ten tons, so it is unlikely to be this aspect.
I am more inclined to what the brother above said, which may be an experimental module of the space station, or it may be an experimental aircraft similar to the X37B.
No, the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 4.2 tons is still very objective. And these are not important, what is important is that it is cheap. If the launch cost of this rocket is low enough, then a few more launches will be enough. Moreover, the tasks are more dispersed and the reliability is higher.
That's right, if the rocket is not fully transported in one time, it will be divided into two times, and if it is not fully transported in two times, it will be divided into four times. Anyway, using this kind of retractable rocket body, the launch cost is indeed cheap enough.
666, although the moving ants look relatively small, the power they gather is also very terrifying.
I still prefer a certain type of spacecraft.
…
Ten minutes to prepare!
The voice of the dispatch announcer from the command center came from the speakers inside the observation station.
coming. Wu Hao, Erma and the others looked at each other, and then looked at the rocket standing next to the launch pad in the launch site.
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 far apart, Wu Hao and the others at the observation station could still hear the huge roar that erupted after the rocket was ignited.
I saw bursts of flames and dust blown by a white rocket in the blue sky. 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.
The rocket flew higher and higher and began to draw a line of white smoke in the blue sky.
OK, finally the launch was successful. Lao Ma couldn't help but praise: "I've heard in the past that the moment a rocket launches is very shocking, but I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just like that.
Unexpectedly, after being there today, the impact of the rocket launch was no stronger than others.
sharp! "
"The rocket is flying normally and the telemetry signal tracking is normal."
Xiao Ma on the side looked at the rocket that could no longer be seen in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of impact and shock of hitting the sky is really impressive. Human beings are really terrible. It took off a behemoth with a take-off weight of more than 200 tons. Not only did it fly, but it also flew into space."
Technology is the primary productive force. This saying is not for nothing. Lao Ma said with a smile.
The first and second stages of the rocket separated and the second stage ignited successfully! While everyone was chatting, there was a sudden announcement.
Fairing separated!
Bang bang bang... there was another round of applause.
You know, generally when the fairing separates, it means that the rocket is about to reach space.
Okay, now let’s watch the landing of the first-level rocket body. Wu Hao looked at the blue sky and the cloud line that was about to dissipate.
The guide chute is thrown out, the main parachute is thrown out!
The base optical observation station reported that the three deceleration parachutes of the first-stage rocket body have been fully deployed and are in good condition!
Bang bang bang bang...
Amidst the applause, Wu Hao and the others had already seen the three red and white parachutes in the sky. However, because the distance was too far, as far as the eye could see, the huge parachute was seen as a small dot.
However, the three parachutes were opened, which already meant that the entire landing process was half completed.
"The meteorological observation team reported that enhanced convective weather occurred at an altitude of 5,000 to 8,000 meters, and the wind force exceeded the warning range. Please be prepared accordingly."
Strengthen attitude adjustment and closely calculate the landing trajectory to ensure that the first-stage rocket can successfully land at the pre-marked landing site.
As the field of view of the main drag chute became wider and wider, everyone on the ground finally saw the movement of the rocket clearly.
It can be seen that the rocket does not tilt, but falls downward in a parabola.
The grid plate on the rocket body is also constantly being adjusted to ensure that the posture is correct during the descent process.
It’s the final stage! Seeing the sight of the three parachutes getting bigger and bigger, everyone understood that this was the final stage of landing.
If the rocket engine can be ignited and started, the first stage of the rocket can land safely.
But if the ignition fails, the entire first-stage rocket may act like a missile, and people will fall directly on it.
A thousand acres, the rocket ignites at once!
As the report was broadcast, the engine at the bottom of the rocket body began to spit out a large amount of flames and smoke in an instant.
The engine ignited successfully and the speed is decreasing.
Wu Hao and the others at the outdoor observation station could also clearly see that the rocket's landing speed had significantly slowed down.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters...
