I Have a Little Black Hole

With the sound of the normal sound, the countdown ended with the sentence Ignition!, and the real-time picture seen on the big screen showed that the bracket that fixed the rocket opened quickly, and the engine of the rocket started to ignite. With a huge roar, The whole rocket with a height of 70 meters and a diameter of 4 meters soared into the sky!

Seeing the successful ignition of the first-stage rocket, the entire flight control center immediately burst into warm applause, and everyone began to embrace each other to celebrate. Of course, this emotion lasted for less than two minutes. After all, the work behind Very much, this first-stage rocket is not finished when it is launched!

After the rocket flies to the required altitude according to the predetermined orbit, the state and result of its return are the focus of this mission. To ensure that the first-stage rocket can land smoothly on the recovery platform that is shaking on the sea Well, there is still a lot of work to be done!

Seeing that the rocket took off smoothly, Lei Tiantang felt relieved, because even if there was a problem with the recovery test later, the rocket itself could be launched normally, indicating that there was no major problem with the design of the rocket. , There are many reasons for the failure of recovery, and the proportion of the problem of the rocket itself is not very high.

If only our country had a population-to-land ratio like Australia's, so our company wouldn't have to choose such a complex offshore recovery platform to recover rockets!

Compared with the offshore recovery platform with very high technical requirements, the onshore recovery platform is really advantageous! But the situation in our country is not so permissive.

Even in a sparsely populated place, the latitude there is very high and biased, and it is not suitable for the launch and recovery of rockets! Lei Tiantang said with a sigh.

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

There are disadvantages, and there are advantages. The recovery of the rocket engine at sea can freely determine the landing point of the rocket. When the rocket is launched, the fuel used in the recovery of the rocket will be much less, which can increase the load of the rocket in a disguised form.

Especially after the design and manufacture of our company's marine rocket launch platform is completed, we can more conveniently choose the time and place to launch the rocket! Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

The boss is right. Now Rocket Lab has started to develop solid-fuel rockets. It can definitely be developed and manufactured before the design and manufacture of the marine 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 number of rockets to be launched by the company is at least more than 100 times, and the company's communication satellite network alone will launch more than 60 satellites of different sizes.

The boss's solar system exploration plan will also launch a lot of exploration satellites with various functions, as well as the lunar reconnaissance plan and the Mars reconnaissance plan. These exploration payload projects also require rockets to launch them into space.

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

There are two heavy rockets to be developed later. One liquid fuel rocket is used at the current launch base, which is not a big problem.

Another solid-fuel heavy-duty rocket is to be used on a marine rocket launch platform. You need to think more about this. The marine launch platform must be taken into account when designing, otherwise it will have to be re-engineered at that time.

The same is true for the marine engine recovery platform. I believe you don’t need me to tell you this. The payloads launched by the company to the moon and Mars all require heavy-duty launch vehicles to perform missions, as well as those solar system exploration satellites! Lei Tiantang reminded.

The boss I know, these things are considered in the company when they have brainstorming meetings,

Rocket Lab has already carried out research and development on these tasks, and the boss will not be disappointed! Kong Yuxiao didn't say much about the boss's reminder, after all, everyone knows the boss's goal all the time.

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

The remote sensing data is normal!

The engine restarts fine!

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

With the sound of a normal response, the virtual rocket engine on the big screen of the flight control center began to lower the altitude by using the recoil force of the rocket engine according to the predetermined orbit.

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

The sea conditions alone cannot be 100% accurate. Although there are real-time weather data on the observation ship 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!

If the sea conditions suddenly change during the recovery of the rocket, even if there is an advanced balance system on the recovery platform, it may cause the recovery of the rocket to fail, so everyone is nervously watching the movement of the rocket on the big screen.

As the rocket engine started to ignite for the last time, the rocket can be seen on the big screen through the monitoring system on the recovery platform and the observation ship, and the speed of the rocket has dropped from a maximum 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, adjusted the attitude of the rocket to be perpendicular to the rocket recovery platform, and began to land slowly at the recovery center point of the recovery platform.

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

Boss! We succeeded!!!

We made it!!!  …

The atmosphere of the entire flight control center reached a climax in an instant, and everyone stood up excitedly and applauded desperately. At this moment, everyone was extremely proud!

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