Chapter 1544: Launching a Satellite

At 22:00 on October 5, 1992, there were 24 hours before the launch of the satellite.

Start filling the rockets that launched the satellites with fuel.

On October 6, at around 5 pm, Jiang Xiaobai, Mou Qizhong and others finished their meal and came to the command room.

Of course, they will definitely not be able to command, nor will they let them command randomly. This is not a joke.

Needless to say, the satellites launched this time are not all from Huade Satellite Technology, but all of them are Huade satellites. Professional technicians also need to be directed by them.

Of course it doesn’t matter whether Jiang Xiaobai and Mou Qizhong are able to stand here and take a photo.

It is better to be able to highlight the main position, which is even better.

That's right, before Mou Qizhong came from China, he didn't come alone with his company's people, but also brought people from several newspapers.

And they are national newspaper and media reporters. Although they are national newspaper media, they are also very interested in such news.

After all, domestic private enterprises have already launched satellites abroad, which is big news.

When Huade Satellite Technology Company was established, they reported it extensively.

However, all the questions were used at that time. We were skeptical about whether Huade Satellite Technology was sensational or whether it could really successfully launch satellites.

And now is the time to witness miracles, how could they not come?

If it succeeds, it will be a historic event for domestic private enterprises. In just a few years, private enterprises will have the ability to launch satellites abroad.

"How is Xiaobai? I took photos in a while, and when they were sent back to China, they would definitely explode immediately..."

Mou Qizhong said with a smile, very satisfied with his decision to bring the media reporter back.

It’s just that you can’t open a bank, but if you launch a satellite, you will definitely gain great prestige. It will be much easier to find funds for the project at that time.

"Well, it will probably cause a sensation." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile. He usually doesn't like to show off.

However, Huaqing Holdings Company is also very subtle in China now. On the one hand, it has a bad relationship with Longcheng, Jinsheng, and on the other hand, Huaqing Holdings Company is actively looking for the next company.

So Jiang Xiaobai was not disgusted with the media reporter's arrangement this time, but was very happy.

Of course he was willing to gain a wave of prestige and reputation.

"Reporter Liu, Reporter Zhang, please trouble you. Take two photos later." Mou Qizhong said with a smile.

Several reporters said there was no problem. Huade Satellite Technology Company was well received, and even if Mou Qizhong was not mentioned, they also wanted to take two more photos.

After Mou Qizhong explained to the reporter, Jiang Xiaobai also went over to explain to the reporters a few words.

After hearing Jiang Xiaobai's request, the reporters looked a little strange, but they nodded and agreed.

Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was 21:00 and 9:00 pm.

"Start power on." The commander issued an order, and the various systems of the rocket began to power on.

"Everything is OK."

"Everything is OK." The various commands sent back.

"Binding the flight data and procedures for this mission..." The commander continued to issue instructions in an orderly manner.

From pre-launch preparations to ignition and launching the satellite into a predetermined orbit, at least a dozen critical steps are required. Any error in any step may cause the launch mission to fail.

This is the beginning...

"Start the self-test program...

Start checking whether each system is normal..."

“…everything is normal.”

“…everything is normal.”

All preparations are completed, and the time is only a few seconds short of 22 o'clock, that is, ten o'clock in the evening.

A group of people have all entered the state.

The countdown began. Jiang Xiaobai looked back at several reporters and nodded obscurely.

Then, in the first three seconds of the countdown, he opened his mouth and shouted silently: "Immediately."

Of course, I just made a mouth shape and didn't shout.

However, the reporters that Jiang Xiaobai had already given instructions to take a photo.

It is normal for reporters to take pictures, and no one cares, and they focus on the launch.

"Ignite." The commander issued a command and the rocket began to ignite.

In a huge ball of flames, the satellite started to take off with a rocket.

After several journalists and media took the photo, they were ready to applaud.

However, they found that the others were still staring at the console, and several reporters were a little stunned.

Not finished yet?

Of course it has not been finished. Now it has just been launched. It cannot be said that it has been successfully launched. In fact, if it weren't for the two days of bad repair.

Jiang Xiaobai and Mou Qizhong probably already applauded now.

Ten seconds after the Rockets took off, they entered the program turning stage.

The universal bracket or vector engine equipped on the rocket engine provides the Rocket with a deflection force to help the Rocket achieve programmatic turns.

The program turns are meant to save fuel while accurately sending the satellite into a predetermined orbit.

Jiang Xiaobai and Mou Qizhong continued to stare at the console, which they spent 15 million US dollars.

"The booster is separated successfully, and the first-stage rocket is turned off and the second-stage rocket is ignited successfully." Someone at the console stood up and reported it.

After about three minutes of launching the rocket, the rocket booster and the rocket connection mechanism exploded and completed the separation of the booster.

The first and second stage connection mechanism of the Rocket was then exploded by the explosion bolt. The first stage rocket closed the second stage rocket and ignited it using the speed difference between the two to complete the separation.

At this time, the rocket was about 70 kilometers above the ground and had a flight speed of 1.2 kilometers per second.

Thirty seconds after the second-stage rocket was successfully ignited...

"The fairing is separated successfully!"

Four hundred seconds later...

"The star arrows start to separate, the second-stage rocket is closed, and the upper stage is ignited..."

"The upper level ignites again..."

Li Xiaoliu whispered to Jiang Xiaobai: "After the second-stage rocket is closed, the remaining missions will be handed over to the Rockets' upper stage to complete.

After the above-level ignites, the satellite's flight speed is increased to 7.9 km/sec. Only after the satellite enters the predetermined orbit can the star arrow be considered to be separated.

In order to improve the success rate of satellite entry into orbit, the rocket's upper stage usually has multiple ignition capabilities, and the probability of success for each additional ignition is one point."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. At this time, the upper level had already ignited twice, but the satellite had not entered the reserved orbit.

Jiang Xiaobai was also a little worried that not every time he could succeed during the rocket launch, not to mention now.

Even the aerospace technology technology of later generations, I dare not say that every time I launch a satellite, I can succeed.
