Beidu, flight control center building.
Staff members wearing blue and white aerospace uniforms were constantly shuttling back and forth, summarizing the status of various systems into the command center.
"Commander-in-chief, all the data of the manned rocket has been transmitted."
Zhang Xingyang reported to Zhang Jianguohui, who had a serious military style in front of him.
This is the last full-system simulation experiment of the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-1 before its launch.
A series of processes from rocket launch to return capsule landing will be simulated.
Make the final guarantee for the launch of Shenzhou-1 at the end of December!
"Sorry to trouble you, Xingyang."
After Zhang Jianguo indicated that he already knew, he talked about something that had nothing to do with work.
"Have you gone to see Mr. Chen?"
"How is he doing now?"
Chen Zhongyan has worked in the aerospace system for most of his life, and he can be regarded as a man of talents all over the world. Zhang Jianguo also once worked under Chen Zhongyan.
It's just that as the commander-in-chief of Shenzhou-1, he has too much work to do when it is about to be launched in less than three months.
I really couldn't spare the time to go to the hospital to visit Chen Zhongyan, whose time was running out.
"Mr. Chen, he."
Zhang Xingyang still felt a little sad when he mentioned this matter. After a few seconds, he said:
"He left yesterday."
Zhang Jianguo obviously did not expect that Chen Zhongyan would leave so soon, and he was stunned for a moment.
"The last time I went to see him, he was fine."
"Why so suddenly?"
"With advanced bone cancer, there isn't much time left, plus Mr. Chen has been running around for the past few months."
Zhang Xingyang said something that Zhang Jianguo didn't know much about.
"Without treatment in the hospital, the condition deteriorates faster."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's try our best to conduct this full-system simulation experiment."
"Mr. Chen, your last wish is that our manned spacecraft can successfully launch into space."
Zhang Jianguo also nodded and said:
"If there are no problems in this experiment, the launch of Shenzhou-1 will be possible in December this year."
"If something goes wrong, the launch may be postponed to next year!"
Now the entire aerospace system is implementing a double zeroing system.
If any problems arise, whether they are technical or managerial, they must be managed back to zero.
The time, energy, financial and material resources required are unimaginable by ordinary people.
The most likely problems here are during the launch phase and return phase of the rocket.
Therefore, the burden on Zhang Xingyang's shoulders is still very heavy.
"Before I came, the manned rocket had already undergone three rounds of inspections to ensure that all problems were eliminated on the ground."
Hearing Zhang Xingyang's answer, Zhang Jianguo felt relieved.
Zhang Jianguo looked at the watch on his wrist: "The full-system simulation experiment will begin soon. Go back to your job."
The simulation experiment part that Zhang Xingyang is responsible for in the entire system is the launch stage of the rocket.
It starts from the loading of various loads into the fairing until the manned spacecraft completes the separation work and enters the predetermined orbit.
This part is all handled by Zhang Xingyang.
After returning to his job, Zhang Xingyang first asked about the situation at the rocket launch site.
The person in charge of the work at the launch site is Geng Bo: "Everything at the launch site is ready and the launch can be carried out!"
"Please give instructions from the flight control center!"
At this time, Zhang Xingyang glanced at Zhang Jianguo, who was behind and responsible for coordinating the entire huge system. After getting the other party's nod, he issued instructions:
"Flight control center, permission to launch!"
At this time, the launch countdown lit up on the synchronized large screens on both sides.
At this time, the flight control center was waiting anxiously.
As the countdown ended little by little, the rocket launch point was soon reached.
Although there will be no real rocket launch this time, everyone is still a little nervous and afraid of any problems.
"emission!"
Within the flight control center, the rocket launch instructions from the launch site were received.
Each system began to work according to the real rocket launch process.
"Xingxian radar is working normally!"
"Weinan radar is working normally!"
"Qingdao radar, working normally!"
Although no real rocket was launched, radar monitoring stations in various places began to scan the sky according to predetermined procedures.
In the simulation experiment, when flying over the East China Sea, the first-stage rocket of the manned spacecraft will separate.
"First-stage rocket, separation is normal!"
This is a simulation result calculated with the support of several supercomputers.
"Yuanzhi No. 1, the radar is working normally!"
The ocean survey ship located in the Eastern Pacific Ocean also turned on its own shipborne radar at this time.
In addition to the Yuanzhi-1 located in the East Pacific, there are three ocean survey ships in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
And Yuanzhi-3 is also preparing to send return capsule data in the South Atlantic.
Including the Karachi monitoring station and the HBK monitoring station abroad, they all started working at this time.
Nearly endless data began to be collected into the flight control center in Beidu.
In the flight control center, everyone was processing all kinds of data quickly.
The data was gradually fitted into the simulated trajectory of the rocket, and a line that looked extremely beautiful was drawn on the large screen in front of the flight control center!
"Yuanshi No. 3, data injection is normal!"
"Return capsule, separation successful!"
"Preparing to enter the return orbit!"
As the supercomputer continues to calculate, the entire simulation experiment has reached the final stage of the Shenzhou-1 mission.
"Karachi station, the radar is working fine!"
"The return capsule re-enters the atmosphere!"
At this time, the staff on the ground also started their work.
Although they knew that this was just a simulation experiment, everyone still treated it as an official manned spacecraft launch!
The helicopter near the landing site began to take off!
Conduct a visual search of the return capsule.
"The ground electronic scanning radar is working normally!"
"Return to the capsule, the parachute opens normally!"
"Return to the capsule, the reverse thrust engine is working normally!"
"Soft landing, success!"
After receiving the news that the return capsule had successfully landed, everyone in the flight control center breathed a sigh of relief as if a battle had ended.
At this time, Zhang Xingyang, like everyone else, stood up, took a few deep breaths, and relaxed his mood.
In the flight control hall, someone took the lead and applauded, gradually forming waves of thunder in the vast hall.
Zhang Xingyang clapped his hands and thought in his heart:
"We are close to the launch of Shenzhou-1!"
"Just the last step!"
