As the rocket's speed and altitude continued to increase, it soon disappeared from everyone's eyes, so everyone looked at the rocket flying animation inside the control room.
At the same time, at this time, because the height and speed of the rocket have reached very high, all military bases or military radar stations in or outside the province have also discovered this slowly rising rocket and detected it in real time. The attitude and direction of flight.
But in fact, this rocket has already flown out of the coastline at this time, and is already in the sky above China's coastal waters. After all, the straight-line distance between the rocket launch pad of Tiangong Technology and the coastline is only ten kilometers, and at this time the rocket At a speed of several hundred meters per second, it doesn't take long to fly to the sea and air.
Of course, even in this way, the military did not relax at all. After all, even in the offshore waters, there are a large number of ships sailing, and even if the rocket flies over the high seas, it is not necessarily safe, but fortunately when the rocket flies to the high seas When flying above the sky, the rocket's flying height and speed are already very high. Even if there is something, the rocket will definitely be simplified and exploded to pieces in the first place.
So when the height of the rocket reached a certain level, Wang Bin and the launchers present were much more relaxed.
"The rocket is out of the atmosphere, ready to open the fairing and release the satellite." When the rocket finally flew out of the atmosphere, the commander on the scene immediately ordered.
At the same time, the rocket is also under the control of the controller, and the rocket fairing is slowly opened to both sides, ready to release the satellite after the rocket reaches the predetermined orbit.
Of course, if it is another rocket, after the rocket leaves the atmosphere, it will just abandon the fairing just like the rocket they launched at the South China Sea launch site before, instead of opening it to both sides.
But Wang Bin and his team's improved version of Tiangong Technology is different. Since Tiangong Technology wants to recover the rocket as a whole, after breaking through the atmosphere, it did not directly abandon the fairing, but was preparing to recover the rocket. Collect it together with the fairing.
Of course, retaining the fairing also plays a very important role, that is, when the rocket returns to the atmosphere, because the material of the fairing is very high-temperature resistant, it can also be used to block the friction from the air when the rocket returns to the atmosphere. The heat generated.
Not long after opening the fairing, the control room again sent a report of the rocket's status data and new commands.
"The rocket has reached its intended orbit. Turn off the rocket engine and begin to release the spacecraft."
"The spacecraft is released, close the fairing, adjust the rocket's attitude, and prepare to return to the atmosphere.
Note that when adjusting the attitude, never collide with the spacecraft just released. "
However, at this time, due to the fact that the rocket has just flew out of the earth's atmosphere, it is impossible to return home immediately. Instead, it has to wait until the rocket has circled the earth close to a suitable position before it can start to decelerate and return to the atmosphere.
Time passed by, and when almost half an hour passed, the person in charge of the control room also issued a new order again.
"The rocket is about to enter the designated return point. It is best to prepare for the second ignition of the rocket! The output power for fighting is 50%."
"30.29.28...3.2.1 Ignite!" Following the command of the person in charge of the launch, the rocket's engine was successfully ignited again, and the rocket flight rules on the control room changed. Finally, when the rocket returned When the trajectory overlapped with the launch pad of Tiangong Technology, the person in charge directly issued an order to stop the rocket engine again.
At the same time, the camera mounted on the rocket faithfully records the rocket's flight attitude and changes in flight rules at this time.
Unlike a general recoverable rocket when it returns to the atmosphere, when a general recoverable rocket returns to the atmosphere, the rocket returns to the atmosphere in an upright state, but this time the rocket returns directly with the head of the rocket toward the atmosphere. .
After all, this rocket not only did not abandon the fairing, but even had an aerodynamic rudder on the rocket, so it could glide in the atmosphere and adjust its posture.
At the same time, the rocket control center at this time is doing its best to collect all the data when the rocket returns to the atmosphere.
These data will also be retained after collection, which can provide real and effective data support for larger recoverable rockets and even aerospace vehicles designed by Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology in the future.
Of course, these data are not only used by Tiangong Technology itself, but can be used as data support even when the government or other companies want to use it. After all, China is different from foreign countries, especially in aerospace. Of course, even if In this case, these data will not be used by any domestic official or enterprise unconditionally, but will be provided for a fee.
As the rocket finally entered the atmosphere, the rocket's fairing also began to generate huge friction with the high-altitude atmosphere, and the entire fairing began to turn red. According to the sensor inside the rocket fairing, the maximum surface temperature of the fairing was already at this time. It reached more than two thousand degrees, and the temperature inside the fairing began to rise rapidly.
However, although the simplified parts of the rocket and other parts are also in friction with the atmosphere at this time, the temperature starts to rise, but the temperature does not rise to two thousand degrees like the fairing, but only a few hundred degrees.
And at this time, the speed of the rocket, also under the friction with the atmosphere, began to drop sharply, from a speed of nearly two kilometers, and soon dropped to below 1,500 meters per second, and this speed is still Rapid decline.
When the rocket reaches the middle layer of the atmosphere, the speed of the rocket at this time and only the speed of about Mach three is left, and at this time the aerodynamic rudder of the rocket can already have an effect, that is to say At this time, the ground can finally control the rocket through the aerodynamic rudder again.
This made everyone greatly relieved. After all, when the rocket entered the escape layer before, the rocket engine was not working and it was in an unpowered situation, and because the atmosphere in the escape layer was very thin, the aerodynamic rudder It can't produce any effect at all, so at this time, the rocket is most likely to be lost, and even if it can be controlled, when the rocket's speed is too fast, when it must be controlled, if the rocket's flight attitude is not correct, it is easy to cause the rocket. Disintegration.
Now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the rocket has returned to the controllable range. For ground personnel, the most difficult time has passed. They are naturally more confident in the successful recovery of this rocket.
With the control of the controller, the rocket soon reached the sky above the Tiangong Technology launch site. At this time, the person in charge gave another big order, and the rocket's fairing was slowly opened again. All of a sudden, the head of the rocket was opened. The resistance of the rocket became larger, and the rocket suddenly changed its flying attitude, becoming a tail-down attitude, and as the fairing continued to open, the air resistance of the rocket became greater, and the speed of the rocket's descent, It also naturally becomes slower.
And when the rocket was only about one kilometer away from the ground, the parachute inside the rocket fairing was also opened, and the rocket's descent speed was quickly reduced to only tens of seconds per second.
In the end, when the rocket was less than 100 meters from the ground, the rocket's engine was ignited again. Just when the descent speed of the rocket became zero, the rocket just steadily stopped at the predetermined parking point, and At this time, the rocket's fuel has also been exhausted.
In other words, with the smooth landing of the rocket, it represents the successful completion of this launch.
