Chapter three hundred and thirteenth complete success
As the speed and altitude of the rocket continued to increase, it quickly disappeared into everyone's eyes, so everyone looked at the rocket flight animation inside the control room.
At the same time, since the altitude and speed of the rocket have reached very high, all military bases or military radar stations within or outside the province have also discovered this slowly rising rocket, and the posture and flight direction of the rocket are detected in real time.
However, in fact, the rocket had already flew out of the coastline at this time and was already above the coastline of China. After all, the straight-line distance between the rocket launch pad and the coastline of Tiangong Technology is only ten kilometers. At this time, the rocket's speed of several hundred meters per second, it doesn't take long to fly over the coastline.
Of course, even this is the case, the military did not relax at all. After all, even on the sea near the sea, there were a large number of ships sailing, and even if the rocket flew over the high seas, it was not necessarily safe. Fortunately, when the rocket flew over the high seas, the rocket's flight altitude and speed were already very high. Even if there was anything, the rocket would definitely simplify and explode into pieces as soon as possible.
So when the rocket's altitude reached a certain level, Wang Bin and the launchers present felt much more relaxed.
"The rocket has left the atmosphere and is ready to open the fairing and release the satellite." When the rocket finally flew out of the atmosphere, the commanders on the scene immediately ordered.
At the same time, under the control of the control personnel, the rocket's fairing slowly opened to both sides, preparing to release the satellite after the rocket reaches its predetermined orbit.
Of course, if it is other rockets, after the rocket leaves the atmosphere, they will directly abandon the fairing, just like the rockets they launched at the South China Sea launch site before, and do not open it to both sides.
However, the improved one by Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology is different. Since Tiangong Technology wants to recycle this rocket as a whole, it does not directly abandon the fairing after breaking through the atmosphere, but instead prepares to recycle it with the fairing when recycling the rocket.
Of course, retaining the fairing also has a very important effect. That is, when the rocket returns to the atmosphere, the material of the fairing is very high-temperature resistant, so it can also block the heat generated by friction with the air when the rocket returns to the atmosphere.
Not long after opening the fairing, the control room again received the rocket's status data report and new commands.
"The rocket has reached its intended orbit, shut down the rocket engine and start releasing the spacecraft."
"The spacecraft is released, the fairing is closed, the rocket's attitude is adjusted, and it is ready to return to the atmosphere.
Be careful not to collide with the spacecraft that has just been released when adjusting the posture."
However, at this time, it is impossible for the rocket to return immediately because it has just flew out of the Earth's atmosphere. Instead, it has to wait until the rocket circles around the earth and reaches the appropriate position before it can start to slow down and return to the atmosphere.
Time passed minute by minute, and when almost half an hour passed, the person in charge of the control room also issued a new order again.
"The Rockets are about to enter the designated return location. It is best to prepare for the Rockets' secondary ignition! The output power of the fight is 50%.
"30.29.28...3.2.1 Ignite!" With the order of the launcher, the rocket's engine was successfully ignited again. The rocket's flight rules in the control room changed. Finally, when the rocket's return trajectory overlapped with the launch pad of Tiangong Technology, the person in charge directly issued the order to shut down the rocket engine again.
At the same time, the camera installed on the rocket faithfully records the changes in the rocket's flight posture and flight rules at this time.
Unlike the general recyclable rockets returning to the atmosphere, when they return to the atmosphere, the rockets return to the atmosphere in an upright state, but this time the rocket returns directly to the direction of the atmosphere with the head of the rocket.
After all, this rocket not only did not abandon the fairing, but even had an aerodynamic rudder on the rocket, which could fully glide and fly in the atmosphere and adjust its posture.
At the same time, the Rocket Control Center is also trying its best to collect all the data when the Rocket returns to the atmosphere.
After collecting these data, they will be retained, which can provide real and effective data support for the larger recyclable rockets and even aerospace vehicles designed by Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology in the future.
Of course, these data are not just used by Tiangong Technology itself, but can be used as data support even when the official and other companies want to use it. After all, China is different from abroad, especially in aerospace. Of course, even so, these data will not be used unconditionally by any domestic official or enterprise, but are provided for a fee.
As the rocket finally entered the atmosphere, the rocket's fairing began to cause huge friction with the high-altitude atmosphere, and the entire fairing began to turn red. According to the sensor inside the rocket's fairing, the maximum surface temperature of the fairing had reached more than 2,000 degrees at this time, and as the temperature inside the fairing began to rise rapidly.
However, although the temperature of the simplified parts of the rocket was also friction with the atmosphere at this time, the temperature did not rise to 2,000 degrees like the fairing, but only a few hundred degrees.
And at this time, the rocket's speed also began to drop sharply under the friction with the atmosphere, from a speed of about two thousand meters, it quickly dropped below 1,500 meters per second, and this speed was still decreasing rapidly.
When the rocket reached the intermediate layer of the atmosphere, the rocket's speed and speed were only about Mach 3 left. At this time, the rocket's aerodynamic rudder could also take effect, which means that the ground can finally pass the aerodynamic rudder again to control the rocket.
This made everyone feel relieved. After all, before that, when the Rocket entered the escape layer, the Rocket's engine was not working and was in a powerless situation. Moreover, because the atmosphere of the escape layer was very thin, the aerodynamic rudder could not produce any effect at all. Therefore, at this time, the Rocket's most likely to lose, and even if it can be controlled, when the Rocket's speed is too fast and it is necessary to control it, if the Rocket's flight attitude is incorrect, it will be easy to cause the Rocket to disintegrate.
Now that the Rockets have returned to the controllable range, the most difficult time for the ground personnel has passed, and they are naturally more confident in successfully recycling the rocket.
With the control of the controller, the Rocket soon arrived over the Tiangong Technology launch site. At this time, the person in charge gave a big order again. The Rocket's fairing was slowly opened a little again. Suddenly, the resistance of the Rocket's head became larger, and the Rocket also changed its flying posture and became a posture with its tail facing downward. As the fairing continued to open, the Rocket's air resistance became greater, and the Rocket's descent speed naturally became slower.
And when the rocket was only about one thousand meters away from the ground, the parachute inside the rocket fairing was also opened, and the rocket's descent speed was quickly reduced to only about a few dozen seconds per second.
Finally, when the Rocket was less than 100 meters away from the ground, the Rocket's engine was ignited again. Just when the Rocket's descent speed became zero, the Rocket just stopped steadily at the predetermined stop, and the Rocket's fuel was exhausted at this time.
