Although I have been to the space base in Japan and the space base in Houston, USA, the sense of Zhuang Su here still makes Hasegawa look at it involuntarily.
"The tower carries rockets, that is, they will launch 11 rockets today!" Wayne said quietly while taking pictures.
"But I heard that it is a solid fuel rocket." Hasegawa paused. "If according to their previous test data, I estimate that the load ratio of this rocket may exceed 5."
Wayne exclaimed, "Herbie? 5？ This is really a frightening number. "
As the visiting motorcade was not allowed to enter the tower, their motorcade turned a corner and went to the viewing area several kilometers away from the launching station.
When approaching the launch, all vehicles in the space city are forbidden to drive. Visitors and media people can stay in the bus and look at the distant launch tower.
Twelve noon
The workers sent a bag of bags to everyone on the bus. Hasegawa listened to a Chinese reporter saying that this is a unified Dongfeng Aerospace City, and it can be smoothly put into orbit before launch.
Eat the bag, there are still 15 minutes before the launch.
The crew shouted, "All people and cars please shoot in the designated area according to the regulations."
Everyone holds a telescope and a professional camera to set up a bracket in the designated area.
Hasegawa’s technique specialty debugged the lens, aimed the focal length at the distant launch tower and quietly waited for the launch.
There are waves of broadcasts from the launch site.
"Countdown to 1 ……………"
Chapter two hundred and eleven Single-stage orbit
"Countdown …"
"… 3 … 2 … 1 … Launch"
The fire at the bottom of the Chang 11 rocket in the launch tower flashed, and a reddish flame rushed from the engine nozzle to the ground cooling pool.
In an instant, a white steam lifted the dust on the ground and spread in all directions.
The Chang 11 rocket rocketed from the smoke.
In the viewing area, the long guns and short guns flashed secret flashlights. They captured the rocket and rose every moment as if they wanted to find out the secret.
A moment later, there was a loud noise like thunder, and everyone’s ears rang
The flight trajectory of the Chang-11 rocket brings out a long trajectory cloud. The ordinary multi-stage liquid rocket is different. The Chang-11 rocket does not have the first-level separation of the core, but sprints forward.
After dozens of seconds, the flight path of the rocket is inclined, which is convenient for entering the orbit and cutting the angle with the rotation of the blue star.
control center
"It is reported that the flight altitude has exceeded 50,000 meters above sea level …"
"Report that the monitoring in Peiping has locked the flight path of Chang 11 …"
"Report Beidou satellite system lock …"
The lounge is full of hands and seems to be waiting for the final notice. If the satellite is not in orbit for one second, he can’t relax.
Huang Xiuyuan doesn’t know how to persuade him to watch the command center and report with Academician Zhang Peicai and Academician Wang Kan quietly.
Sharp-eyed Huang Xiuyuan saw the distant monitoring trajectory and found that the rocket was about to break through the Carmen line.
About seconds later
"Report flying height exceeded 10,000 meters …"
"Report that communication is back to normal through the blackout zone"
"Report rocket indicators are normal …"
Aside, Zhang Peicai breathed a sigh of relief. "After crossing the Carmen line, it will drop, and then it will be maneuvering around the track."
Although the solid fuel method is stopped, the engine power can be reduced rapidly by a little rough control
The ground command center constantly adjusts the flight orbit to make the large elliptical orbit of the rocket approach the predetermined orbit height.
The other side of the ocean outside Wan Li

The staff of NASA keep a close eye on the northwest of China through satellite monitoring.
Director Robert Monitoring Center quietly watched the monitoring data.
Michelle, the technical executive, is getting more and more complicated. It is naturally gratifying for a technician to see the progress of human space industry. However, today, it is not that he is proud of America, but that he has been rejected by them.
Many technicians are in the same mood as Michelle.
"Oh, buy karma!"
"They broke through low earth orbit."
Despite the fuss made by the monitoring personnel, Michelle seems to have expected it. After all, the former China has tested the ultra-long-range strategic missile, a new type of solid fuel rocket, and it is not difficult to achieve single-stage orbit.
Robert’s white hair, which has been silent for a long time, seems to be getting older. In recent years, NASA’s lack of success has made him feel exhausted and depressed.
After 91 years, NASA is in a state of loneliness and failure, which also leads to their scientific research getting worse every year.
Recently, NASA has been forced to prepare the space shuttle retirement plan.
Suddenly Michelle turned her head. "Robert, maybe this is a good thing."
"…" Robert nodded with a complicated expression coming from the Cold War era. He naturally knew Michelle’s implication.
Without external pressure, those congressmen and capitalists will not feel dangerous and naturally will not invest hard in the space industry.
The rise of China’s space power will force the United States to increase its investment in this area.
The only thing that worries Robert is the talent dilemma of NASA department. Due to the budget reduction in recent years, many projects and laboratories have been cut.
Talent is not something that can be recovered for a while.
