Chapter 471: Satellite into orbit

"The first launch test of the Centaur carrier rocket, a countdown of ten seconds, now begins..."
"10..."
"9……"
...
"1……"
"emission!"
At 6:30 am on March 1, 2010, with a command from Yang Chen, the operator pressed the rocket launch button.
"boom……"
The low-pitched roar quietly rang throughout the launch site.
Compared with the rocket launch of traditional technology, this roar is very insignificant, and the decibel number is only equivalent to the sound of the ordinary car engine.
People who know how to look at each other are surprised. "From the roar of this engine, the thrust of this engine is average..."
You know, when the rocket engine is started, because of the need to provide strong thrust, the energy generated by each second of combustion will be extremely strong, and the roar of compressed air will also be very large.
In turn, from the roar, it is often possible to see how powerful the engine is.
So when they heard the understatement of the engine, these experts were surprised.
I wish the hero to frown as he listened to the experts: Yang Chen, the kid, made a big speech today, and he greeted the air force and the air traffic control station. If Yang Chen failed, it would be laughable.
Thinking of him nervously, he asked: "So Yang Xiaozi's experiment was not very successful?"
"Not necessarily, perhaps because of the use of psionic technology, so it is different from the traditional engine?"
Some experts explain this way.
"What can be different? Looking at the performance of this engine, it is also a recoil engine similar to the traditional rocket engine. This kind of engine will inevitably produce a huge roar because it needs to continuously expel air to generate recoil. This is not a reverse. Gravity engine..."
I wish the hero frowned, already thinking about how to help Yang Chen clean up the mess.
But this is fine. If it fails, Yang Chen will be relieved to save what he wants to do in the aerospace industry all day, or he will be honest about his theoretical research and special materials.
Think so. I wish the hero felt instead. Perhaps Yang Chen failed. For Yang Chen and the country, it would be better.
While speaking here, the "Centaur" carrier rocket over there. The power that has been running through the psionic fusion engine has slowly left the ground.
The current Centaur carrier rocket. Its own weight has reached about 500 tons, while the satellite's own weight has reached about 5 tons. This is certainly not high compared to the engine's maximum thrust of 10,000 tons.
Therefore, the engine does not increase the power to 100% at the beginning. In order to avoid excessive acceleration causing excessive force on the rocket body and the satellite, the rocket is torn and the launch fails. It will gradually increase the engine power. The speed of power increase in the previous experiment. That is just to test the extreme performance of the engine, and cannot be used as a standard for normal launch.
Seeing the Centaur carrier rocket, it has slowly flew off the ground. And the speed is getting faster and faster, and soon flew to the sky. It slowly disappeared into people's eyes, leaving only a faint blue light spot that would be ignored if you didn't pay attention to it, and it gradually became smaller.
basically. The rocket flight status is very good, and there is no problem.
"It seems that this rocket technology combined with psionic technology is still different from the traditional one. Judging from the current situation, maybe Xiao Yang can really put his satellite into a predetermined orbit..."
"Well, it looks like this..."
"Now it depends on the performance of the rocket and satellite fairing. If it can't withstand the high temperature of friction with the air, the launch may still fail..."
Several experts whispered in a whisper, the voice of the question became temporarily less, but if the question was to disappear completely, only the successful launch would be necessary.
On the projection screen, you can also clearly see the monitoring image of the rocket flight, which is the real-time monitoring status from the sensors including the satellite and the rocket body.
In the projection of data monitoring, various data showing the current state of the rocket also appeared, and a chart was made beside it to facilitate everyone's understanding.
According to the rocket's speed, the rocket should have reached supersonic speed and entered a thermal barrier state. At this time, the temperature of the rocket's arrow body will rise sharply. If the rocket material cannot withstand this high temperature, there will be a problem with the flight status.
But now, this flight curve is still very stable, and has now stood the test.
However, this is not the final test.
"The following difficulty is when the rocket leaves the atmosphere and enters orbit. If the orbit fails, this launch cannot be considered a success..."
The onlookers are still discussing, on the one hand, it can be regarded as an explanation to the hero Zhu. However, they are not experts. Although they understand a lot, they still stay on the surface.
And Yang Chen and others pay more attention to the content.
"The Centaur launch vehicle does not take the form of a traditional multi-stage rocket engine. Although the psionic engine appears to have a recoil gas injection on the surface, in fact, it is not the gas used to recoil to provide impulse. It is energy particles, which provide impulse through the energy particles and the force of the atmosphere. The "fuel" of the psionic rocket also comes from the psionic energy collected in advance. But in fact, even if tens of thousands of tons of weight are sent to space The spiritual energy required is less than five or six hundred tons. These weights mainly come from nuclear fusion engines."
"So, we don't need to use the multi-stage rocket method to reduce weight by constantly discarding the engine of the previous stage. Even if we want to throw away, there is nothing to throw away. The traditional multi-stage rocket, the previous stage is abandoned because the upper stage The fuel runs out, so it’s okay to throw it away. But before the psionic engine consumes the stored psionic energy, it will continue to absorb the aura between heaven and earth and store it in the psionic energy. The nuclear fusion engine itself is even impossible. Just throw it away."
"From a certain point of view, this will increase part of the fuel consumption, but at the same time, it also greatly simplifies the structure of the rocket engine, it is a good thing."
While explaining the design of the Centaur carrier rocket to the people nearby, Yang Chen observed the rocket's running status in real time.
After refining the satellite core components on the rocket, he can use the core components to control the state of the rocket and the satellite without other things. Of course, others must use the measurement and control technology to understand the state of the rocket.
"Now the rocket is about to reach the top of the atmosphere and the fairing can be discarded."
"The satellite fairing is separated. Everything is in order."
Along with the operator's announcement, everyone clearly saw a burst of fire on the surveillance image, the two fairings separated, and were thrown away from the satellite.
"The preset track height is about to arrive, count down ten minutes..."
"Five minutes countdown to preset track height..."
"The preset track height counts down for one minute..."
"At the preset orbital height, the launch vehicle and satellite are separated...the separation is complete."
"Satellite successfully orbited."
"Satellite solar panels and antennas are unfolding... finished."
"The satellite control core link is...complete."
On the console, an originally blank screen lights up, and an interface pops up, which is the control interface of the Tianluo-1 satellite.
Several images are cut out from the above, some are data charts, some are simulated maps of the surrounding environment of the satellite, and some are the various function interfaces of the satellite.
The operator nervously tests each function.
Everyone stared intently at the functional tests of the satellites. They all knew that putting the satellites into orbit did not mean success. It was not until the satellites were tested that all functions were normal.
After a dazzling operation, the operator stopped and looked at Zheng Zheng's eyes, staring at his own people, and smiled happily: "The satellite function test is all normal! This time, the launch was successful!"
"Successful!"
He said so, everyone immediately cheered.
Beside, everyone in the stands immediately applauded.
I wish the hero shook his head secretly in cheering, knowing that his worries and preparations are unnecessary: ​​this kid is really amazing, really made him...
Anyway, he smiled and walked over to Yang Chen, intending to congratulate Yang Chen.
Beside, the guests from Angyang New Energy are also whispering.
"Good guy, private satellite launch, actually succeeded!"
"Launching satellites is nothing. In fact, that kind of small satellites, it seems that the top universities in our country have also launched."
"But they didn't launch it by themselves. In this regard, President Yang's ability is not small."
"Of course, this should be the first privately launched rocket and satellite in our country?"
"Actually, I think that if Mr. Yang releases the satellite business in the future, we can all have our own satellites..."
As soon as this was said, everyone was more enthusiastic: "No, in the future~EbookFREE.me~ This has no money and no status, so it doesn't matter what car you drive or what house you drive, even if it is What kind of private jets, yachts, etc. are better than having a private satellite..."
"Haha, don't fight with me for the first crab-eating water. My old Hu wants to be the first!"
"Why? Laohu, you're not real..."
"Hey, Mr. Yang's opening is not open, is it still a problem if the country is open? Is it useful for you to quarrel someone here?"
"Also, but now that we have a chance, we can think of a way. There is no direct relationship with the central side, there are still indirect relationships..."
These gangs of illusions didn't want to say that Yang Chen and others were still busy.
"Xiao Yang, congratulations, the experiment was successful!" Zhu Xiong first came to Yang Chen and said.
Yang Chen shook his head: "Now this experiment has not been completely successful."
