Chapter 430

With a sound of normal, the countdown with a "ignition!" It's over. The real-time picture on the big screen shows that the bracket of the fixed rocket quickly opens, and the rocket engine starts to ignite. With a huge roar, the whole rocket with a height of 70 meters and a diameter of 4 meters rises into the sky!

Seeing the successful ignition of the first stage rocket, the whole flight control center immediately burst into warm applause, and everyone began to embrace and celebrate with each other. Of course, this mood lasted less than two minutes. After all, there was still a lot of work ahead. The first stage rocket was not launched, even if it was finished!

After the rocket flies to the required height according to the predetermined orbit, the status and result of its return are the focus of this mission. There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that the first stage rocket can smoothly land on the recovery platform shaking on the sea!

Seeing that the rocket was successfully lifted off, Lei Tiantang was relaxed because even if there were problems in the recovery test, the rocket itself could be launched normally, which shows that there is no big problem in the design of the rocket. There are many reasons for the failure of recovery, and the proportion of problems in the rocket itself is not very high.

"If only our country had a population to land ratio like Australia, so that our company would not have to choose such a complex offshore recycling platform to recycle Rockets!

Compared with the offshore recycling platform with very high technical requirements, the onshore recycling platform is really very advantageous! But the situation in our country is not very allowed.

Even if it is a place with vast land and few people, the latitude there is very high and very partial, which is not suitable for rocket launching and recycling work! " Lei Tiantang exclaimed.

"Yes, in order to avoid people or buildings injured by rocket explosion after the launch failure, we can only recycle our rockets by sea. Fortunately, the cooperation between us and our country in this respect is very smooth, and I am still very confident in the technology of recovery platform!" Kong Yu said with a smile.

"If there are disadvantages, there will be advantages. When the rocket engine is recycled at sea, the landing point of the rocket can be freely determined. When the rocket is launched, the fuel used for rocket recovery will be much less, which can increase the load of the rocket in disguise.

Especially after the design and manufacture of our company's offshore rocket launching platform is completed, we can more conveniently choose the time and place of launching rocket! " Lei Tian Tang said with a smile.

"The boss is right. Now the rocket lab has begun to develop solid fuel rockets. Before the design and manufacture of the offshore rocket launching platform is completed, it can definitely be developed and manufactured!"

Kong Yuxiao agreed with the boss. According to the short-term and medium-term plans sent by the boss, the number of rockets to be launched by the company should at least exceed 100 times. The company's communication satellite network alone will launch more than 60 satellites of different sizes.

The boss's solar system exploration plan will also launch many exploration satellites with various functions, as well as the lunar exploration project and Mars exploration project. These exploration payload projects also need rockets to launch them into space.

"Well, that's good. It's good to develop a medium-sized solid rocket. Two medium-sized rockets are enough for our company to use, even if we accept some international orders.

Later, we will develop two types of heavy-duty rockets. A liquid fuel rocket is used in the launch base now, which is not a big problem.

Another type of solid fuel heavy rocket is to be used on the offshore rocket launching platform, which you should consider more. When designing the offshore launch platform, this should be taken into account, otherwise it will have to be rebuilt at that time.

The same is true for offshore engine recovery platforms. I believe it goes without saying that you also know that heavy launch vehicles are required for the loads to be launched to the moon and Mars, as well as those solar system exploration satellites! " Lei Tiantang reminded.

"I know, boss, these things were considered by the company at the beginning of the brainstorming meeting. The rocket lab has already carried out research and development on these works, so the boss will not be disappointed!" Kong Yuxiao also didn't say much to remind the boss. After all, we all know the goal of the boss.

"Attention to all platforms! The rocket has reached the predetermined altitude! Recycling test officially started! " The command tube reports loud.

"Remote sensing data is normal!"

"The engine restarts normally!"

"Recovery platform data is normal!" ...

with a sound of normal response, the virtual rocket engine on the large screen of the flight control center began to lower the altitude according to the predetermined orbit by using the reaction force of the rocket engine.

Everyone in the flight control center is very nervous at this moment, and the most critical moment is coming. Although the company's artificial intelligence "origin" simulation has been successfully recycled many times, the simulated situation will not be exactly the same as the real situation.

The sea state alone cannot be 100% accurate. Although the observation ship near the recovery platform has real-time weather data, the wind and waves on the sea are not invariable, and the wave is the biggest threat to the stability of the recovery platform!In case the sea state suddenly changes during the rocket recovery, even if there is an advanced balance system on the recovery platform, it may lead to the failure of the rocket recovery, so everyone is watching the movement of the rocket on the big screen.

As the rocket engine started to ignite for the last time, the rocket could be seen on the large screen through the monitoring system on the recovery platform and observation ship. The speed of the rocket dropped from the maximum speed of more than 1300 meters per second to the current 2 meters per second!

At the same time, the attitude control engine of the rocket starts to ignite, adjusts the attitude of the rocket to be perpendicular to the rocket recovery platform, and begins to slowly land at the recycling center of the recovery platform.

Finally, the rocket smoothly landed at the center of the recycling platform with a relaxed attitude! The fixed device on the recovery platform immediately began to work, fixed the rocket, the recovery of the whole rocket smoothly let people can't believe!

"Boss! We made it

"We made it ...

the atmosphere of the whole flight control center reached a climax in an instant. Everyone stood up excitedly and applauded desperately. At this moment, they were very proud!

Because they have completed a new record for the company. The success of the first stage rocket recycling represents that infinite gravity group has become the second private company in the world to master rocket engine recycling technology!
