Chapter 313 (1/2)
As the speed and height of the rocket continued to improve, it soon disappeared into everyone's eyes, so everyone looked at the rocket flight animation in the control room.
At the same time, because the height and speed of the rocket have reached very high, each military base or military radar station inside or outside the province also found the slowly rising rocket, and detected the attitude and flight direction of the rocket in real time.
However, in fact, at this time, the rocket has already flown out of the coastline and is already over the coastal waters of China. After all, the linear distance between the rocket launch pad of Tiangong technology and the coastline is only 10 kilometers. At this time, at the speed of hundreds of meters per second, it won't take long to fly over the coastal waters.
Of course, even in this way, the military does not relax at all. After all, even in the offshore sea, there are a large number of ships sailing. Even if the rocket flies over the high seas, it is not necessarily safe. However, fortunately, when the rocket flies over the high seas, the flying altitude and speed of the rocket are very high, even if there is something wrong, Rockets will definitely be simplified and blown to pieces at the first time.
Therefore, when the height of the rocket reached a certain level, Wang Bin and the launching personnel present relaxed a lot.
”The rocket has left the atmosphere, ready to open the fairing and release the satellite.” when the rocket finally flew out of the atmosphere, the on-site commander immediately ordered.
At the same time, under the control of the controller, the fairing of the rocket slowly opens to both sides, ready to release the satellite after the rocket reaches the predetermined orbit.
Of course, if it is other rockets, after the Rockets leave the atmosphere, they will directly abandon the fairing, not open to both sides, just like the Rockets they launched at the launch site in the South China Sea.
However, Wang Bin's improved one by Tiangong technology is different. Because Tiangong technology wants to recover the rocket as a whole, after breaking through the atmosphere, it does not directly abandon the fairing, but plans to recover it together with the fairing when recovering the rocket.
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 block the heat generated by friction with the air when the rocket returns to the atmosphere.
Not long after opening the fairing, the control room again sent the rocket status data report and new orders.
”The rocket has reached the predetermined orbit, shut down the rocket engine and start releasing the spacecraft.”
”After the spacecraft is released, close the fairing, adjust the attitude of the rocket and prepare for re-entry into the atmosphere.
Note that when adjusting the attitude, do not collide with the spacecraft just released. ”
However, at this time, because the rocket just flew out of the earth's atmosphere, it is impossible to return immediately. Instead, it can start to slow down and return to the atmosphere only after the rocket has made a close circle around the earth and reached a suitable position.
As time passed, almost half an hour later, the person in charge of the control room also issued a new order again.
”The rocket is about to enter the designated return location. Look, it's best to prepare for the second ignition of the rocket! Fight, and the output power is 50 percent.”
