I have a little black hole

As the sound is normal, the countdown ends with the sentence "Ignite!", the real-time picture seen on the big screen shows that the fixed rocket bracket opens quickly, the rocket engine starts to ignite, and with a huge roar, The entire rocket is 70 meters high and 4 meters in diameter!

Seeing the smooth ignition of this first-class rocket, the entire flight control center immediately burst into warm applause. Everyone began to hug each other to celebrate. Of course, this emotion lasted for less than two minutes. After all, the work behind Very many, this first-level rocket is not finished if it is launched!

After the rocket reaches the required altitude in accordance with the predetermined orbit, the status and results of its return are the focus of this mission. To ensure that this first-level rocket can land smoothly on the recovery platform that is shaking on the sea There is still a lot of work to be done!

After seeing the rocket lift off smoothly, Lei Tiantang's mood relaxed, because even if there was a problem with the recovery test later, but the rocket itself can be launched normally, it means that there is no big problem in the design of the rocket. There are many reasons for the failure of the recovery, and the proportion of the problems of the rocket itself is not very high.

"If only the ratio of population to land in our country is as good as Australia, so our company does not have to choose such a complicated offshore recycling platform to recycle rockets!

Compared with the very high technical requirements of the offshore recycling platform, the onshore recycling platform is really too advantageous!But the situation in our country is not too permissible.

Even if there is a place with a large area and a sparse population, the latitude there is very high and unbalanced, which is not suitable for rocket launch and recovery!"Lei Tiantang exclaimed.

"Yeah, in order to avoid the rocket explosion hurting people or buildings after the launch failure, we can only use the sea recovery method to recover our rockets. Fortunately, our cooperation with the country in this regard is very smooth. I am still very confident!" Kong Yu said with a smile beside him.

"It's good to have disadvantages. Recycling the rocket engine at sea can freely determine the landing point of the rocket. When launching the rocket, the fuel used in the recovery of the rocket will be much less, which can increase the load of the rocket in disguise.

Especially after the design and manufacture of our company's offshore rocket launch platform is completed, we can more conveniently choose the timing and location of launching rockets!"Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

"The boss is right. Now the Rocket Lab has started to develop solid fuel rockets. It can definitely be developed and manufactured before the design and manufacture of the offshore rocket launch platform is completed!"

Kong Yuxiao agreed with the boss. According to the short and medium-term plan sent to him by the boss, the company had to launch more than 100 rockets at least. The company’s communications satellite network would launch more than 60 satellites of different sizes.

The boss’s solar system exploration plan will also launch many exploration satellites with various functions, as well as the lunar survey plan and the Mars survey plan. These detection payload projects also require rockets to launch them into space.

"Well, that's good. The solid rocket will develop a medium-sized rocket. Two medium-sized rockets are enough for our company to use, even if we take some international orders.

The two heavy-duty rockets to be developed later are used. A liquid fuel rocket is used at this launch base. This problem is not a big problem.

Another solid fuel heavy rocket is to be used on the sea rocket launch platform. You have to think more about this point. The sea launch platform should take this into consideration when designing, otherwise it will have to be re-engaged.

The same is true for offshore engine recovery platforms. Believe this. I don’t need to say that you also know that the payloads launched by the company to the moon and Mars require heavy launch vehicles to carry out their missions, as well as those of the solar system exploration satellites!Lei Tiantang reminded.

"The boss I know, these things were considered in the company during the brainstorming meeting. The Rocket Lab has already carried out research and development on these tasks, and will not let the boss down!" Kong Yuxiao reminded the boss Not much to say, after all, the boss's long-term goals are well known to everyone.

"Attention to all platforms! The rocket has reached the predetermined height! The recovery test has officially started!" the command tube reported loudly.

"Remote sensing data is normal!"

"The engine restarts normally!"

"Recycling platform data is normal!"......

With a normal response sound, the virtual rocket engine on the large screen of the flight control center began to use the rocket engine's recoil to lower the altitude according to the predetermined orbit.

Everyone in the flight control center is very nervous at this moment. The most critical moment is coming. Although the company’s artificial intelligence “origin” has been simulated many times and it is perfectly recovered, the simulated and real situation are after all. It won't be exactly the same.

The sea conditions alone cannot be 100% accurate. Although there are real-time weather data on the observation ships near the recovery platform, the wind and waves at sea are not static, and the waves are the biggest threat to the stability of the recovery platform!

In case of sudden changes in sea conditions during the recovery of the rocket, even if there is an advanced balancing system on the recovery platform, the recovery of the rocket may fail, so everyone is watching the movement of the rocket on the big screen nervously.

As the rocket engine started to ignite for the last time, the rocket could be seen on the large screen through the recovery platform and the monitoring system on the observation ship. The speed of the rocket dropped from the highest speed of more than 1300 meters per second to the current 2 meters per second!

At the same time, the attitude control engine on the rocket started to ignite, the attitude of the rocket was adjusted to be perpendicular to the rocket recovery platform, and it began to land slowly on the recovery center of the recovery platform.

In the end, the rocket landed smoothly and smoothly on the center of the recovery platform with a relaxed and freehand attitude!The fixed device on the recovery platform immediately started to work, and the rocket was fixed. The recovery of the entire rocket was unbelievable!

"Boss! We succeeded!!!"

"We succeeded!!!"...

The atmosphere of the entire flight control center reached its climax in an instant, and everyone stood up excitedly and clapped desperately. At this moment, each of them was very proud!

Because they completed a new record for the company, the successful recovery of this first-class rocket represents that Infinite Gravity Group has become the second private company in the world to master the technology of rocket engine recovery!
