Chapter 1367 The Beidou Satellite Is Finally Going To Heaven

Zheng Hao actually knew Liu Yijiu's whereabouts.

At present, various projects have been on the right track. Liu Yijiu's energy is mainly invested in the development of more advanced intelligent programs.What he used was a supercomputer specially made in the base according to his requirements.

Li Rui threw the two children to her mother, and he took the gang of maidens from the base to start the supermarket outside, but no one would bother Liu Yijiu.

In this way, it has entered the end of April of the 1990s.

"Director Liu, the first experimental satellite of our Beidou system and the rocket used for launch are all ready. It is expected to launch at 4:35 am on May 1st..." This news is from the special base next door to the space agency. People from the space base of China came over and told Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face, "Are the rockets and satellites ready?"

"Yes, the launch is currently scheduled at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Our chief asked me to ask if you have time to visit..."

"Yes, for such a thing, I have to make time to visit if I don't have time!" Liu Yijiu immediately put down his work, "Tell them, I am going to the satellite launch base."

Anyway, his work cannot be completed in a short time.

He has always been looking forward to the Beidou satellite system going to the sky, and he even paid a lot for this. It is impossible for him not to be there when the first experimental satellite goes to the sky.

"There must be no mistakes in this satellite launch. We have been fighting for this project for so many years!" Liu Yijiu first went to the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, and Qian Xuesen was holding this satellite launch conference.

Seeing him here, the receptionist took him directly into the conference room.

This project has concentrated almost all the top satellite experts and rocket engineers in China.

Although the rocket is for civilian use, the above technology is not different from military strategic missiles.

The first experimental satellite and the first supporting Long March top three rockets invested more than two billion research and development funds.

"Many projects on the Ninth Institute are currently waiting for our satellite system, so no mistakes are allowed. Various inspections before launch must be carried out in more detail, otherwise, if the launch fails, This will have a serious blow to our next work!" Chen Fangyun, who is in charge of the entire satellite system, has grown older in recent years.

The satellite system used in this experiment uses two geostationary orbit satellites that he proposed in 1983 to achieve regional positioning and navigation functions. The main purpose is military use.

In the previous few years, for the purpose of demonstration, the functions of the Zhongxing 1 and 2 communication satellites were specially added, and experiments in this area were carried out to demonstrate that the technology is completely feasible.

With the capital investment of the Ninth Academy, the development of the Beidou system was realized several years in advance.

"If it fails immediately, it’s okay. This is related to the national defense cause. If it fails, it’s a big deal to start over. There is no need for you to have too much pressure. During this period, the Ninth Institute has made good profits. After consultations within the Institute, it is ready to be in the Beidou system again. About 5 billion yuan of investment has been added to the above! So, in the next few years, what you need to do is to design new satellites, manufacture them, produce rockets, and then send our satellites to the predetermined orbit. We What is needed is not only a regional positioning and navigation satellite system, but a global one!" Liu Yijiu also gave a great gift to aerospace.

With the passage of time, the money used to sell Dongfeng has been almost consumed by aerospace.

At the same time, because of the country’s full economic development, there has not been much military production in recent years. In addition, the Ninth Academy has robbed a large amount of scientific research funding, and many military factories are undergoing transformation.Many of them cannot be transformed because of their special roles, but they are just struggling.

Aerospace really feels unsustainable.

Especially after they invested in the Beidou system.

Satellite systems, new types of rockets, control technology, etc. are all more advanced and complicated, and there are too many places to invest.

"Old Chen, please introduce the development plan of our Beidou satellite system to Director Liu." Qian Xuesen looked at Liu Yijiu with a smile on his face.

Chen Fangyun nodded, and then used the projector obtained from the Ninth Academy to play the slides that had been made long ago.

This made Liu Yijiu amazed.

It seems to have been prepared.

Before he could react, Mr. Chen started to introduce.

"According to our current technical foundation and budget, in order to develop our space communication technology well and avoid the waste of research funds caused by blind research, after discussion and demonstration by many comrades of the entire Ministry of Aerospace Industry and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we have formulated The following plan. Generally speaking, the Beidou system is divided into three steps to realize the global positioning and navigation function. Before January 1, 1991, the first set of system will be launched on the geostationary orbit of two regional satellite positioning capable of active positioning. The navigation and communication system, at the same time, launches a backup satellite... The second step is to achieve regional passive positioning before 1995... In 2004, global passive positioning..."

Old Chen's introduction made Liu Yijiu a little lost in an instant.

It's exactly the way Beidou took before.

It's just that there has been a change in time.

In the original world, the Republic finally completed the Beidou global satellite navigation system, which will not be completed until 2020.

If this plan is realized, the satellite system of the Republic will cover the world 16 years in advance.

In this way, the Republic’s technology in this area will develop faster. Even the plan to launch the Tiangong space station can be advanced 16 years, and the landing on the moon can also be advanced 16 years. Even the time to establish a lunar base will not be required. Wait until 2046.

"With our current technical conditions, what are the main difficulties in achieving such a goal? The performance of the satellite is the most critical decisive factor. I believe that our rocket can accurately launch our satellite into the predetermined orbit. Satellite. The control system, remote remote sensing technology, etc., all require more advanced technical support." Liu Yijiu is not a fool. The other party said that this must be coordinated by the Ninth Institute in many aspects.

In the past few years, the Ninth Academy and the Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd. have been cooperating more and more closely, and both sides have understood the technical level.

He only mentioned before that it would increase investment of about 5 billion yuan, and he was completely unprepared to recover these funds.

It is impossible for the other party to know beforehand.

He said that the money was still 5 billion, and he still introduced it like this. Then, the biggest problem is the technology.

"Indeed, our technical conditions are still far from this. However, these plans are based on our own technological development and the technological development of the Ninth Academy. We need the Ninth Academy to be top-notch in computer technology, materials, Support for machinery manufacturing and even automation control..." Qian Xuesen said to Liu Yijiu.

The fields he said are the core of the Ninth Academy.

He knew Liu Yijiu's character, and it was hard to say whether he would agree to support it.

"These aspects are not a problem. Whether it is aerospace or us, it belongs to the country, not a private person. Our goal is always the same, and that is to make our country's national defense industry as solid as a rock!"

Liu Yijiu's words immediately received countless applause from the old men.

The thunderous applause made Liu Yijiu a little embarrassed.

When the applause stopped, he blushed and said, "Let’s introduce the situation of our satellite and rocket this time."

Liu Yijiu needs to obtain the performance parameters of this satellite and rocket, and then use it to compare the performance of the satellites and rockets used by the country to launch these satellite systems at that time.Only in this way can we evaluate the scientific and technological foundation of the whole country, and on this basis, measure whether the Beidou satellite system can be realized in three steps.

"This satellite is the first of our Beidou satellites, and it is also an experimental satellite. It is directly known as Beidou-1... This satellite has remote sensing capabilities, can remotely sense the ground, and through signal processing, it can capture The picture is fed back to the ground control center...Due to the resolution problem, the accuracy is not very good. This is an experiment after all... In addition, the satellite has a positioning function, and the same signal source specially designed on the ground can be used to achieve remote Communication, and use the geographical pictures taken by remote sensing to contact the control center to implement the communication positioning function... At the same time, it can locate and navigate the device equipped with signal receiving equipment..."

"We launched the first weather satellite Fengyun 1 in China in 1988. Isn't that remote sensing technology very good?"

Liu Yijiu frowned.

Remote sensing technology is essential for military satellites.

"At present, the Ninth Institute uses Yunshi as a platform, and the remote sensing technology is much stronger than Fengyun 1. If this is the basis..." Chen Fangyun looked at Liu Yijiu.

"No problem. The cooperation in this area is not only the cooperation between our two companies, but also the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other technologies that have this area." Liu Yijiu nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Remote sensing technology, this is something that cannot be avoided.

Especially in the future military satellites, the situation on the ground can be seen through the sky. Under such circumstances, the mode of war will change again.

With this kind of technology, the Chinese army can not only use this technology to assist in the offensive, but it can also use this technology to allow the army to simulate operations in the enemy's situation.

The combat effectiveness of the troops in that situation is unimaginable now.
