Chapter 324

Wang Bin naturally understands Qin Lao's concern. After all, Huaxia has just developed its aerospace industry, and has also experienced launch failures and sacrifices. Therefore, Qin Lao and others do not want the tragedy to be staged through science and technology again. After all, even if Tiangong science and Technology aerospace company is a private enterprise, it is still a Huaxia aerospace company, It is a part of China's aerospace industry. The aerospace development of Tiangong technology is actually the development of China's aerospace industry.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Wang Bin finally agreed to Qin's proposal and went to the South China Sea launch site to launch the tiangong-2 rocket.

Of course, this launch, like the previous two, is not an empty rocket launch. It will also carry the official spacecraft of China. This time, because the tiangong-2 rocket of Tiangong technology has a low earth orbit carrying capacity of 5 tons and a prohibited orbit carrying capacity of about 1 ton, the spacecraft carried this time will be very different from the last time.

That is, the spacecraft carried this time will be larger, and its weight will reach the limit that the rocket can carry, that is, about 5 tons. Of course, the success or failure of the spacecraft will be higher. Regardless of the launch cost, the success or failure of the spacecraft alone will be as high as several billion.

Moreover, according to Qin Lao's penetration, if the launch of this rocket can perfectly put the spacecraft into the predetermined orbit, the next time they launch a spacecraft for the official launch of Tiangong technology, it will no longer launch a spacecraft in low earth orbit, but a spacecraft in medium and high orbit.

This also makes Wang Bin look forward to it very much.

Of course, although the second rocket of Tiangong technology has been successfully developed at this time, the carrying capacity of Tiangong technology's rocket is still a little low under the same weight rocket.

Although it is said that the rocket of Tiangong technology has the function of recycling, so after launch, a certain amount of fuel must be left so that the rocket can be put back to the earth. If a certain amount of fuel is not left, the rocket can not change its orbit in space, so as to recover the rocket.

However, Wang Bin still believes that this rocket still has a lot of room for improvement. Therefore, at this time, the rocket R & D Laboratory of Tiangong technology is also designing a transformation scheme for this rocket to make the launch capacity of the rocket stronger.

At this time, certain achievements have been made in the rocket laboratory. They decided to use the new solid fuel technology provided by Wang Bin. In this way, the carrying capacity of the rocket will definitely have a lot of room for improvement.

However, there are still great problems in the recovery of solid fuel boosters. There is no good way in front of everyone in the laboratory.

After all, unlike liquid rockets, solid rockets cannot be flamed out after ignition. They can only be flamed out after the solid fuel of the rocket is exhausted. Therefore, it is very difficult to accurately recover solid fuel rockets, unless another engine is installed on the solid rocket, but this will undoubtedly greatly increase the takeoff weight of the rocket, This is absolutely undesirable.

Therefore, after the solid fuel booster of the rocket of Tiangong technology is separated from the main body of the rocket, they can only choose to parachute. After all, the solid fuel rocket is not very heavy after the fuel inside the rocket is exhausted, and there is absolutely no problem with parachuting.

But after the booster rocket lands, it still needs personnel to look for it. After all, the parachute cannot accurately land on the launch platform. Of course, there is no problem controlling the booster rocket to land in a general area.

In addition, because this rocket is a multi-stage rocket, there are some difficulties in the hierarchical recovery of the rocket. Fortunately, their rocket R & D personnel of Tiangong technology have solved these problems.

Subsequently, Wang Bin and Tiangong science and technology transported the first tiangong-2 five ton carrier rocket that had been manufactured to the South China Sea launch base by sea, carried the official spacecraft, and finally successfully sent the official spacecraft into the predetermined orbit.

At the same time, in terms of rocket recovery, it is also very successful. Not only in terms of rocket booster, it successfully parachuted and landed at the predetermined sea, but also in terms of rocket classification, which also makes Tiangong technology have greater confidence in the fire arrow designed by itself.

However, although this rocket has been successful, because it is the first rocket of this rocket, after successful recovery, this rocket is not ready for reuse. Instead, it is transported back to the company by Tiangong technology and placed in the space exhibition hall of Tiangong technology together with the previous Tianshou gonggong-1 rocket, For employees of Tiangong technology and future guests to visit.

At the same time, the first tiangong-2 rocket has also begun to be manufactured, and the diameter of this rocket is slightly smaller than that of the first tiangong-2 rocket, but it is much longer in length.

At the same time, in terms of the structure of the rocket, some optimization has been carried out, which will make the carrying capacity of the rocket larger, reaching about 6 tons, and the technology of rocket recovery is more mature, which can achieve more accurate recovery.

In addition, in terms of larger rockets, Tiangong technology has also carried out comprehensive design work, and the maximum orbital carrying capacity of the designed rocket, tiangong-3 rocket, will reach about 10 tons, and the self weight of the rocket will also reach about 600 tons. It can be said that if the rocket can be designed and launched successfully, This is definitely a milestone for Tiangong technology.

Therefore, both Wang Bin himself and the technicians in the rocket R & D laboratory are very much looking forward to the design of the new rocket. Of course, due to the heavier self weight and stronger carrying capacity of the rocket, its technical difficulty is naturally higher. Therefore, the designers in the laboratory are more cautious in the design, Even the design of every part of the rocket will be determined after countless calculations, although many calculations are provided by Wang Bin and mature technology.

Of course, in addition to his concern for the new rocket design and R & D project, Wang Bin has not relaxed his concern for the aeroengine.

Especially for the test flight of plane 9, he basically calls Qiu Tuan every day to ask about the plane and engine.

At the same time, their Tiangong technology has begun to transform other No. 9 transport aircraft, and Wang Bin's Tiangong technology has basically solved the problems found before, such as the previous engine problem and the fuselage skin of No. 9 transport aircraft itself.
