Chapter 463 Successfully launched the core cabin

"Report, the rocket launch is ready, please instruct!" As the rocket launch schedule is about to arrive, the official rocket experts have reported to Mr. Qin and Wang Bin and others. The big man who was going to come to Tiangong Technology before, a white-haired old man, Wang Bin and others have also received it. Now only the rocket launch is ready, it's enough.

"Good! How are the situations of each group?"

"Report, everything is normal for the Rockets."

"The radar is normal!"

“Remote control is normal!”

"Electromagnetic waves are normal!"

"Neutrino communication is normal!"

“…”

"The core module of Ziwei Space Station is normal!"

After listening to the reports from all aspects, Mr. Qin looked at the time and found that there were only less than ten minutes left before the scheduled launch time! So he looked at the old man in front of him first, and the old man nodded to him, and then Mr. Qin said, "Start countdown!"

"yes!"

Then everyone looked at the huge rocket standing on the launch tower.

You should know that this rocket is the largest rocket created by China so far. At the same time, it is also the largest in terms of carrying capacity. The most important thing is that this rocket is still a recyclable rocket, so the launch cost is very low.

Therefore, whether it is the old man, Mr. Qin, Mr. Qiu and others, they attach great importance to this launch.

"Please note, team, there are five minutes left to countdown for rocket launch!"

"The Rockets have three minutes left!"

"The Rockets have one minute left!"

"There are 30 seconds left in the rocket launch    29,......5,   4,   3   ,2    ,1    ,0 launches!”

As the controller pressed the launch button, the bottom of the rocket on the rocket launch pad instantly spewed out red flames, and at the same time it made a deafening sound. Even if the control room is several kilometers away from the launch pad, its sound is very loud.

With the flames ejected at the bottom of the rocket, the Tiangong-9 rocket was equipped with the Ziwei core compartment and began to steadily and slowly increase, and its speed was slowly accelerating.

At the same time, all the Rocket's data is being fed back to the console in real time through the communication system.

Seeing the Rockets gradually disappearing from everyone's sight, Wang Bin, Qin Lao and others naturally looked at their own, including the ones on the big screen.

At this time, the data displayed on the large screen showed that the height of this rocket had reached 15,000 meters, and its flight speed had reached fifteen times the speed of sound, and its speed was still increasing rapidly. After all, the height of the rocket launched this time was to reach 5,000 kilometers! If there was not enough speed, it would be impossible to send the core cabin into orbit.

However, at this time, the fuel of the rocket's booster had been consumed, so under the control of the intelligent system, the booster began to separate.

Soon, the Tiangong-9 rocket rushed out of the atmosphere and entered the earth's orbit space.

However, at this time, the fuel of this rocket's first-stage rocket had almost been consumed.

So, the first and second stages of the rocket began to automatically separate, while the first stage of the rocket began to adjust its posture and prepare to land at the Great Desert Space Center in nearly two hours.

After the separation of the first and second stage rockets, the first-stage attitude adjustment of the second stage rockets was also successfully ignited and continued to fly towards a higher orbit under the operation of intelligent programs.

At the same time, the core module of the space station was launched this time, and the third-stage rocket also had another purpose, so it also had a fairing design, so it was automatically abandoned at this time.

At the same time, after careful calculations, after staying in space for a period of time, the fairing will return to the earth, and there is also a large parachute on the fairing. The final landing place is also at the Great Desert Space Center.

When the Rocket's orbital height reached 3,000 kilometers, the Rocket's second-stage rocket fuel had been almost consumed, so the Rocket's second-stage three-stage rocket also began to separate.

The second-stage rocket began to automatically adjust its posture and began to reverse push, allowing it to fly to a lower orbit and prepare to land.

As for the third-stage rocket, after ignition, it continued to fly towards a higher orbit, and finally sent the core compartment of the space station to the predetermined orbit.

However, the third-stage rocket of Tiangong Technology, the rocket, did not separate from the spacecraft like when it was launched before, but was directly connected to the core compartment.

In fact, Tiangong Technology's space station also has to bear the function of a space gas station in order to provide refueling and other services to other spacecraft in the future.

The third-stage rocket has about ten meters and has huge space inside, and can carry up to 200 tons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel. Therefore, the third-stage rocket will be used as the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen storage device of the space station. At the same time, the engine of the third-stage rocket is also very useful for the space station. In an emergency, it can be used as the emergency power of the space station, allowing the space station to change its orbit and escape from danger.

Of course, in fact, it is basically impossible to encounter any danger at such a height, unless it is hit by meteorites or attacked by lasers and other weapons from the ground. Ordinary anti-satellite missiles basically do not have spacecraft attacks of such a height.

However, for Tiangong Technology and China, it is safe to keep the engine of the third-stage rocket just in case.

"yeah!!!!"

"Great! We succeeded!"

"Oh my goodness!"

Just as the rocket entered orbit, everyone stood up in the entire control room and cheered loudly. After all, this is the space station in orbit in the earth!

The core pod entered orbit this time, which represents human civilization. The first successful start of building a space station in the middle orbit is a space station. This has great significance for both China and the entire human civilization. It represents that human civilization has one step further from truly leaving the earth.

At this time, Mr. Qin and the old man also clapped hard to show the successful launch of the central orbit space station core module to celebrate Tiangong Technology's successful launch.

The applause in the entire city center was only unable to calm down, but Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology's technicians and employees were very clear that although they had successfully launched the core module of the medium-orbit space station, the construction of the entire space station was actually just the beginning.

After all, the weight of the entire core compartment is only 40 tons, and even if the body of the third-stage rocket is added, it is only less than 80 tons. This is far from enough for the entire space station with a total design mass of thousands of tons.
