The blue planet is behind us, and the dark universe is behind us.

Before the launch, Chief Commander Chen Fangli consulted Ye Qing and asked what the name of the communication satellite was.

Ye Qing had a name in his heart, but Ye Qing hoped to publish it after it was successfully launched.

It now appears that 80 per cent of the way to success has been completed.

Satellites fly into final orbit at the speed of the first universe. And then slowing down, the universe doesn't have gravity, and it usually spends a lot of energy moving forward, using the same energy to reduce speed to zero.

“The signal is normal. ”

“Remote surveillance radar and altimetry radar, tracking normal. ”

“Thirty minutes later, slow down and try to get into orbit. ”

On the display wall, there is a continuous flash of data that Ye Qing does not understand.

Listen, technicians report that all of this is unexpectedly normal.

The half hour wait became so long that when Chief Commander Chen Fangli patted Ye Qing's shoulder and told Ye Qing that the satellite had been successfully orbited, Ye Qing still had some unresponsiveness.

“Mr. Ye, this is going very well. From starting the booster to adjusting the posture, using reverse thrust to slow down to zero, the entire set of motions was boosted without any extra secondary micro movement, saving at least about 7 per cent of the fuel. ”

“This satellite has an excellent propulsion system. ”

“This demonstrates that we are making significant advances in domestic industrial technology and have achieved impressive achievements in the field of space aviation.” Ye Qing smiled easily.

The satellite propulsion system was purchased from a scientific research facility supported by the Space Centre. Although there is a reason for the excellent integration of software and hardware in Beast Industry, the control software is stronger, and the hardware needs to be cleared.

“The onboarding delegate has completed 90% of the success, and I have managed to win the ticket for the remaining 10%.” Chief Commander Chen Fangli also complimented the exaggerated animal industry.

After that, General Commander Chen Fangli turned his head to the speaker and shouted: "Enter the solar sailboard expansion program. ”

Commander ”Yes" gave the order, "All departments note that the solar sail board will be deployed in one minute. ”

“Satellite sensors are working. ”

“The radio receiver is working. ”

“The battery cycle is normal. ”

“The sail plate needs to be adjusted to a minus 27% angle, and manual intervention correction is always ready. ”

“Ready to roll out the sailboard. ”

“Yes!”

An electromagnetic wave, invisible to the naked eye, departs at a speed of light from the launch station at the aeronautical centre. After midnight and 13 seconds, the electromagnetic waves reached the position of the satellite.

The satellite radio receiver receives the signal, and the control program automatically executes the commands in the signal after the signal is verified by a multi-channel encryption chip.

The deployment of solar panels is the last and most susceptible procedure to accidents when satellites are in orbit.

In carrying out its mission, satellites require a large amount of electricity, for example, the communications satellite of Giant Beast Industry, which requires at least 10 square metres of solar panels to provide thousands of watts of energy supplies in order to meet their requirements.

Satellites without energy can only be space garbage, and in order to do so, satellites must have huge solar panels and ensure that one side of the solar panels is always facing the sun.

The limited space of the satellite carriers requires that the sailboards must be put together before the satellites go up to heaven.

So the satellites' solar sailboards are all secured to the sides of the satellites with a spring restraint mechanism and locked to death by a fireworks mechanism.

Each gram of the carrier rocket's load is invaluable and satellites can only employ the lowest-weighted one-time deployment programme to deploy the sailboard, which loses its closing capability.

Likewise, satellites have only one chance of expanding their sailboards, and failures become boxes.

For every space giant, there are examples of solar panels failing to unfold.

Far from it, Changsan rockets were sent to heaven by Giant Veterinary Industry, which was encountered when launching the Xinnon satellite.

The reason for the recurring problem was that satellites were expanding sailboards using a full-mechanical scheme, a mechanism that locked open the sailboards and was eight blast bolts.

Explosion bolts belong to fireworks and cannot be detected in advance of technology.

This means that it may be defective.

And these blast bolts, they were manufactured by the giant animal industry itself.

“The blast screw is released and both detonate simultaneously. ”

There was a shout in the space centre, followed by two flashes on both sides of the satellite in orbit. Then the second time, the third time...

Each flash will have two very tiny nuts that will collapse from the surface of the satellite.

“Screw one detonation complete. ”

“Screw number two detonation complete. ”

“Three… screw detonation complete. ”

“Number four… number four also succeeded! ”

All explosive screws detonate, losing the restrained spring restraint mechanism, immediately releasing the tightly calculated elasticity and pushing six solar sailboards into a single plane.

Sunlight is at a minus 27% angle of the satellite, and the light sensor automatically captures the position of the sun, and the control system drives the sailboard to slowly rotate to bring the dark blue surface towards the sun.

The moment the sun shines on the sailboard.

The moment the sailboard converts hot sunlight into electric energy and stores it inside the battery pack.

Aerospace Center Command Hall once again sends a thrill.

“The solar sailboard has been deployed, the energy cycle system is working properly, and the sailboard automatic posture system is working normally. ”

“We did it! ”

“Success?” Ye Qing asked Chief Commander Chen Fangli with his eyes, who gave him a positive look.

“Perfect, perfect as a textbook every step from launch to satellite development.” General Commander Chen Fangli was excited to hold Ye Qing's hands, "Mr. Ye, looking at the big screen, the staff has just activated the satellite's main radio transceiver. ”

“The main transceiver is the core and most energy-consuming component of WeChat. ”

“Now that the radio main transceiver is working, we are completely successful! ”

At this time, Ye Qing's phone rang.

Connect the phone, sit in town at the company's crystal, report the good news to Ye Qing that it had been able to contact the satellite from the control room ten seconds ago.

“Very good!”

“So we went down to the test, and after we tested our satellite communications capabilities, we adjusted the optical footage, and we took a picture of our building. ”

“Mmm!” The crystal said forcefully.

More than ten minutes later, Ye Qing received a picture from a crystal in WeChat.

It's a picture of a surface filled with noise and slightly distorted colors. At first glance, it's like being photographed by a 300-pixel village phone camera.

But the real source is a picture taken by the communications satellite in space, more than 30,000 kilometers away.

The diamond-shaped building is slightly inclined and stands on the surface.

Above the building, you can also glimpse the giant monster logo of the giant animal industry and shine a silver-colored glow in the sun.

It is obviously somewhat unrealistic to allow a communications satellite in synchronous orbit to possess the same outstanding capabilities as a low-orbit reconnaissance satellite.

However, based on the clarity of this photograph, Ye Qing has established the idea that a communications satellite can be used to lock tracking vehicles in real time.

“Commander Chen, didn't you ask me what the name of this satellite was? ”

Ye Qing shook his fist and said to him: “This satellite is called Skynet One. ”

“Soon there will be Skynet Nos. 2, 3, and 4...”
