"It's not impossible, Haoyu Technology has always had a close cooperative relationship with the military, and is engaged in the research and development of many major weapons and equipment projects. So in this way, it is not surprising to participate in such a project. "No way, I think it should be related to our space station, similar to some experimental modules or something."

"It's possible, and it could even resemble a cargo ship."

"Agree, I prefer this kind of cargo spacecraft, after all, the operation and subsequent construction of the space station also need sufficient and cheap capacity. If the retractable launch vehicle is successfully launched, it will further reduce the launch cost and transport more experimental equipment to the space station. ”

"I'll go, this is a job with the country."

"I think it's a good thing, the rise of private aerospace enterprises is conducive to promoting the development of the domestic aerospace field, and from the overall point of view, it is very beneficial."

From the perspective of long-term development, the advantages of introducing private enterprises into the aerospace technology industry, especially the important aerospace technology industry, outweigh the disadvantages. After all, the rocket and aerospace industries have been state-owned for a long time, and this sudden opening to private enterprises will inevitably bring some problems, so we must be cautious.

I don't think it's a cargo spacecraft, whether it's a low-cost disposable rocket from Jianmu-1 or a retractable rocket from Jianmu-2, which will be launched soon, its carrying capacity is very limited. Take the slightly stronger Jianmu 2 as an example, its low-earth orbit carrying capacity can reach 4.2 tons, and the sun-synchronous orbit can reach 2.3 tons.

And the average cargo spacecraft weighs seven or eight tons or even a dozen tons, so it is unlikely to be in this regard.

I'm more inclined to talk to my brother above, which could be an experimental module of the space station, or an experimental vehicle similar to the X37B.

No, the carrying capacity of 4.2 tons in low-earth orbit is still very objective. And none of this matters, the important thing is that it is cheap. If the cost of carrying this rocket is low enough, a few more launches will be enough. Moreover, the tasks are more dispersed and the reliability is relatively high.

That's right, one time can't be transported twice, and two times can't be transported four times, anyway, with this kind of rocket with a retractable rocket body, the launch cost is indeed cheap enough.

666, although the ants seem relatively small, the power they gather is also very terrifying.

I'm leaning towards a certain type of spacecraft.

……

Ten minutes to prepare!

The sound of the command center dispatching announcers came from the sound inside the observation station.

Here it comes. Wu Hao, Erma and the others glanced at each other, and then looked at the rockets standing next to the launch stand in the launch site.

And Wu Hao and the others also ended chatting, their eyes were firmly fixed on the rocket figure displayed on the big screen, and they were also silently reciting the countdown number in their hearts.

"Five minutes to prepare!"

"Countdown one minute to prepare, fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds!"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...... One, ignition, takeoff! ”

Rumble! Although they were far away, Wu Hao at the observation station could still hear the huge roar that erupted after the rocket was ignited.

In the blue sky, a white rocket erupted bursts of flames and dust. Under the spray of these orange flames, the rocket also slowly began to lift into the air.

"The rocket was successfully ignited,"

"Enter the program turn."

"Program Turn Complete!"

"The ground-based optical observatory reported that the rocket was flying normally and the telemetry signal tracking was normal."

Bang Bang Bang ...... Everyone present burst into warm applause. But now everyone is not relaxed, because the rocket has just taken off, and it is not known whether it will succeed.

The rocket flew higher and higher and began to draw a white line of smoke in the blue sky.

Okay, finally the launch was successful. Lao Ma couldn't help but praise: "I heard about the moment of rocket launch in the past, it was still very shocking, I still don't think so, I think it's not like that."

Unexpectedly, after being immersed in the scene today, the impact of the rocket launch is not stronger than others.

Terrible! ”

"The rocket is flying normally, and the telemetry signal tracking is normal."

The little horse brother on the side looked at the rocket that was no longer visible in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of impact and shock that hits the sky is really impressive, human beings are really terrible, and they actually flew up the behemoth with a take-off weight of more than 200 tons, not only flying, but also flying into space." ”

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this sentence is not said in vain. The old horse said with a smile.

The first and second stages of the rocket were separated, and the second stage was successfully ignited! Everyone was chatting, and suddenly there was a broadcast.

Fairing separation!

Bang Bang Bang ...... There was another round of applause.

You know, the general fairing is separated, which means that the rocket is about to arrive in space.

Okay, let's look at the landing of the first-level arrow body. Wu Hao looked at the blue sky and the clouds that were about to dissipate.

The guide parachute is thrown, the main parachute is thrown!

The optical observation station of the base reported that the three parachutes of the first-level rocket body have been fully extended and are in good condition!

Bang Bang Bang ......

In a round of applause, Wu Hao and the others had already seen the three red and white deceleration umbrellas in the sky. However, because the distance is too far away, as far as the eye can see, the huge parachute is regarded as a small dot.

However, the three parachutes opened, which already meant that the whole landing process was half complete.

"The meteorological observation team has reported that convective weather has occurred at an altitude of 5,000 to 8,000 meters, and the wind is beyond the warning range, please be prepared accordingly."

Strengthen attitude adjustment, closely calculate the landing trajectory, and ensure that the first stage rocket can successfully land on the pre-marked landing site.

As the field of view of the main parachute became larger and larger, everyone on the ground finally saw the movement of the rocket clearly.

It can be seen that the rocket does not tilt, but falls in a parabola.

The grid plate on the rocket body is also constantly adjusted to ensure that the attitude is correct during the positive descent.

It's the final stage! Seeing the sight of the three parachutes getting bigger and bigger, everyone understood that this was the final landing stage.

If the rocket engine can be ignited and started, then the first stage of the rocket can land safely.

But if the ignition fails, then the entire first-stage rocket may be like a missile, and the direct people will be killed.

A thousand acres, the rocket ignites at once!

With the broadcast, I saw that the engine at the bottom of the rocket body began to spew out a large amount of flames and smoke in an instant.

The engine ignition was successful, and the speed was decreasing.

Wu Hao, who was at the outdoor observation station, could also see sharply that the rocket's landing speed had been significantly reduced.

100 meters, 50 meters, 10 meters......
