Chapter 49 Successfully lifted off!
In the satellite launch base, a big guy with a diameter of 3.4 meters and a height of 24.6 meters is slowly being moved vertically through the mobile platform to the launch tower not far away.
A group of scientific researchers in the control center are inspecting the rocket one by one in an orderly manner, and among this group of people, there is a special team of up to thirteen people, who are inspecting the rocket again and again. Simulate and test the latest candy algorithms.
At the beginning, everyone called the Candy Algorithm the New Posture Balance Algorithm. But after getting the second version of the New Posture Balance Algorithm, the name became more and more awkward. Thinking that the encapsulated algorithm is a I don’t know who took the lead and started calling the second version of the posture balance algorithm the candy algorithm.
"Mr. Chen, how about delaying the launch of the satellite and giving the test team more time to test the candy algorithm a few more times."
Chen Xihe patted his old buddy Zhang Xianmin on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhang, are you still worried about what I'm doing? As soon as I got the algorithm, I organized people to start testing it, and so far there have been no problems at all."
"Besides, there are still three days before launch, three days, if there is any problem with the candy algorithm The problem will definitely be exposed. When the time comes, it will not be too late to postpone the launch time. If it doesn't work, you can still use the original attitude balance algorithm. Do you think this is true? "
Zhang Xianmin looked at it. Looking at the rocket being slowly pushed towards the launch tower on the large central control screen, I always felt a little uneasy.
In Zhang Xianmin's view, a rocket without satellites should be used for practice, and then based on the practical data, it can be judged whether the candy algorithm is worth promoting. By then, it will not be too late to decide to use the candy algorithm to launch satellites.
Although the satellite launched this time is just an ordinary meteorological backup satellite, even if the launch fails, the satellite crashes, or the rocket explodes not long after launch, the cost will be within an acceptable range.
The technology of various types of rockets is indeed very mature, but rocket launch failures are still common every year, and each time it is caused by various unexpected small problems.
In general equipment, some minor problems may not be a big deal, and even if some parts are missing, it will not affect the normal operation of the equipment.
But rockets are different. Under high-speed motion, small problems will quickly be magnified without limit, eventually leading to launch failure.
At this stage, it is the same no matter which country.
As long as there is no problem with the launch of the manned spacecraft, everything else is within the tolerable range.
Satellites and other equipment can be rebuilt if they are gone, but astronauts cannot.
Not only does it cost a country a huge amount to train an astronaut, but more importantly, astronauts are living people.
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
In the launch tower, all staff are cooperating with the command center to conduct final inspections before the rocket is launched.
After three days of testing, there were no problems with the candy algorithm. Each test result showed that the rocket's attitude remained very stable under the adjustment of the candy algorithm.
In the control center a few kilometers away from the launch tower, Chen Xihe and Zhang Xianmin, several gray-haired old men, sat in the last row and looked at the young people quietly.
This stage requires more agile response capabilities to deal with various possible emergencies.
This is one of the reasons why every time a rocket is launched, the majority of people in the control center are from the younger generation.
"Attention to all staff, begin to evacuate the launch tower, the satellite will be ignited and launched in ten minutes."
"Repeat! Attention to all staff, begin to evacuate the launch tower, the satellite will be Fire and launch in ten minutes."
After hearing the broadcast, all personnel on the tower evacuated to the buses on the ground after completing the final inspection.
As the last bus started to leave, the entire area around the transmitting tower was deserted.
"One minute to prepare for launch."
"Three...two...one..."
"Ignition! Launch!"
On the tall launcher, as the commander-in-chief pressed the red launch button, all the support arms originally attached to the milky-white giant launch vehicle were retracted, and various tracking and measurement equipment on the field were turned on, including high-speed cameras, tape recorders, etc. All recording equipment is up and running.
For a moment, a huge and continuous roar came from the rocket launch site.
This roaring sound is like a mountain falling apart or a tsunami shaking the earth.
A second later, the huge rocket rose from the ground and rose slowly, its tail spraying brilliant flames straight into the sky.
In the control center, although Chen Xihe said nothing, wearing reading glasses, his eyes never left the big screen.
Don't worry, it's all fake!
The rocket soars into the blue sky. A few seconds later, the vertically ascending rocket began to turn; dozens of seconds later, the gas emitted by the rocket condensed into smoke in the air, like a white line extending to the southeast in the sky, and finally gradually turned into a circle in the vast sky. The small bright spot penetrated the atmosphere and disappeared from people's sight.
However, from my country's mainland to the ocean survey fleet, hundreds of sets of modern measurement and communication equipment designed and manufactured in my country are tightly "biting" small bright spots invisible to the naked eye, accurately measuring, recording and reporting The rocket's flight speed, altitude and attitude at every moment.
Every moment, there is a large amount of measurement data, collected from all parts of the country to the measurement and control data exchange center.
The measurement and control center connects all participating units into an intense fighting group through various precision equipment and lines, collects and exchanges data between participating units in a timely manner, and continuously provides information to each measuring station. Stations report rocket flight data, guiding them to accurately track the rocket.
And the information measured by each station and the rocket flight status are transferred to the control center and command center in the launch site area in a timely manner.
The good news keeps coming!
"Tracking fine!"
"Working fine!"
"Flying fine!"
When Chen Xihe saw on the big screen that after the last section of the rocket fell off, his heart that had been hanging around finally fell to the ground.
Similar to the results of the simulation test, the attitude of the rocket remained quite stable throughout the flight.
Later, when the satellite self-adjusts and enters the predetermined orbit, the attitude balance algorithm also performs very well.
"Haha, let's go, Lao Zhang, I'm treating you."
Mo Jingchun, who was shopping in the supermarket, had no idea about all this. After all, the country launches so many rockets every year , and not every time there will be a platform for promotion and live broadcast.
Carrying a small candy in a baby carrier, Mo Jingchun happily pushed the shopping cart back and forth in the large shopping mall on the upper and lower floors.
"Candy's favorite strawberry! Get a box!"
"No! Two boxes! I want to eat it too!"
