Many people came to see the recycling together. After all, this is a major historical moment. The spacecraft of the Han country went to heaven and recycled for the first time!
Except that the space shuttle can land at the airport because of its mobility, spaceships go down by parachute. This way will make a considerable change in the landing point.
However, this is not the first time. Han has launched many recoverable satellites before. As long as you master the recovery technology of recoverable satellites, you will also master the return technology of spacecraft. After all, there is little difference between the two controls. The main reason is that the return capsule of spacecraft is larger and heavier. At the same time, it needs lower speed when landing, Therefore, when it is one or two meters from the ground, a buffer rocket will ignite to further reduce the speed.
Now, when Qin Guan came to the main landing site, the personnel ready for recycling were ready.
The best way to recycle is to use helicopters. For this recycling, four large super stallion helicopters are ready.
These helicopters were also obtained during the exchange of war materials with the Sabbath. They carry a large amount of cargo. If necessary, they can even be directly hoisted back to the return cabin. The cabin is wide and the search personnel are ready to go. Next to it, there is a radar car with a flat radar antenna facing the sky overhead, aiming at the direction of the spacecraft's return. Once the spacecraft enters the atmosphere, they will find the target at the first time.
"We will fix this landing site in the future." Qin Guan communicated with Ren Lao next to him.
On the grassland, it's very cold now. The north wind is blowing. The cold current from Siberia is sweeping the whole earth. Wearing an army coat, Qin Guan also felt his face cut by a knife. In a twinkling of an eye, he hasn't come to the grassland market for another year! Every time I come back here, I always have a kind feeling, because Qin Guan began to rise here. Under his leadership, the industrial technology of the whole Han country also began to move forward by a large margin!
Qin Guan looked at everything around him and was in high spirits.
"What, data injection failed?" just then, a message suddenly came to the communication equipment on the helicopter.
Everything is going well in the launch. It has entered orbit normally, and all kinds of postures are normal. Now, it's time to come back, you need to send instructions to the spacecraft to tell where to slow down, throw away two useless compartments, and then enter the atmosphere. But at this time, a bad news came.
The data injection failed. The spacecraft could not return to the ground without receiving the message. This is really bad news!
"It seems that our Yuanwang survey ship should update its equipment." Qin Guan also said that the data injection is operated by survey ships sailing on the ocean. These space survey ships play an important role in every space launch. Now, with the launch of the flying ship, Yuanwang survey ship needs to be more advanced and modern, We should build a few more ships. In case of problems, we can supplement them with backup.
"Don't worry, they'll find out the reason," Ren said. Ren always felt quite relieved that his comrades in aerospace measurement and control would be able to complete the task.
Qin Guan nodded. He was not worried. However, with the development of his own aerospace technology, it was time to upgrade the supporting equipment. It was not just a matter of establishing an aerospace survey ship. It would be better if he could rent the territory of other countries and establish several aerospace measurement and control stations on land.
These all need development.
Two hours later, the news came again. When the spacecraft flew over in the next lap, the data injection was normal, and the spacecraft was starting the return program!
The ship is coming back!
After traveling in space for more than ten times, shenzhou-1 spacecraft first separated the orbital module, then adjusted its attitude, turned the tail engine around, ignited and braked. With the decrease of speed, shenzhou-1 spacecraft left its original orbit and entered the atmosphere along an arc!
As for this orbital module, it will remain in space, become a satellite and continue to serve the aerospace industry. It will take at least half a year before it falls into the atmosphere and burns down.
From this moment on, the recycling base is busy.
There are four super stallion helicopters, which are located at the four vertices of a square, and the center of the square is the scheduled landing point. Although there is radar, it still depends on the pilot's eyes to find the return capsule.
Vehicles on the ground have also started, waiting for orders to come at any time.
The helicopter first pulled up. Qin Guan, Ren Lao and others took a helicopter and began to hover in the sky, waiting. Suddenly, someone shouted, "find the target!"
What a keen eye! The pilot of this helicopter has seen the falling black return capsule in the sky!
The return module first pulled out a small umbrella. Suddenly, the whole return module shook and began to slow down. A few seconds later, the small umbrella was thrown away and the 1200 square meter main parachute was launched!
At this time, other helicopter pilots also found the target and began to fly in the direction of the target!
The bell shaped re-entry capsule has been burned black in the process of re-entry. When it enters the atmosphere, for a period of time, its appearance is burning, just like a meteor. It sounds mysterious to reduce the internal temperature by burning, but it does so.
Now, the re-entry module landed slowly. When it was a few meters away from the ground, the parachute loosened, the brake rocket below began to ignite, and the re-entry module landed steadily on the ground. This scene has been recorded by the cameraman on the helicopter.
"They did a good job, with an error of less than 12 kilometers," Ren said with a sigh, looking at the Beidou Positioning System on the helicopter.
It's a miracle to recover by parachute, with an error of only more than ten kilometers. Now, the helicopter landed next to it, and everyone went down and surrounded it. If it was a manned launch, now they have begun to help astronauts out of the cabin. Now, although there are no astronauts, their standards remain the same, Someone even carried a stretcher over there.
"Oh, no!" someone shouted. At this time, the wind hummed violently, and the parachute rope did not fall off normally, driving the return capsule to move. As a result, the stably standing return capsule overturned!
If there is someone here, it must be hard. It seems that this is something that needs to be improved!
