The launch center is located in the canyon 60 kilometers north of Xichang City. It has only been more than 40 kilometers from Lianhe Township. The road is guaranteed very well. It only takes more than an hour in the past.
Here is a semi -closed small basin surrounded by mountains and southeast. The area is only two square kilometers. It is divided into a satellite launch test, command control, tracking measurement, communication, weather, and service guarantee. All are scattered in different areas in the canyon.
As soon as the bus enters the canyon, everyone can see the seventy -six -meter -high launch tower standing at the bottom of the canyon, and a lightning protection tower of more than 300 meters high, and the long march No. 2 type E -type E -on the side of the launch tower. Binding rocket.
"Wow ..." Mai Xiaomiao was more excited than the baby, and ran to the front of the bus to look at the towering rocket through the front window.
Above the rocket is a slightly larger satellite cabin. Below is two series -class rockets. According to Luo Yujuan's introduction, the two core rockets came from the Rockets of the Long March No. 2 Rockets. Mi, carry more fuel.
Around the first -class core rocket, advanced bundling technology is used to arrange four liquid rockets. The diameter of the core -class rocket is 3.35 meters, the diameter of the booster is 2.25 meters, and the height is 15 meters.
After this combination, the entire rocket height reached 49.7 meters. The ability to carry the original long two -tons can only carry 1.4 tons to the Earth's synchronous transfer track, which improved to the take -off quality of 462 tons, 640 tons of thrust. The load is delivered to a circular track of 200 kilometers, or the capacity of the valid load from 2.5 tons to 4 tons to 36,000 kilometers to the earth's synchronous transfer orbit.
This is a very amazing achievement. At the same time, the communication technologies are changing with each passing day. All aerospace powers have unanimously developed a new generation of communication satellites with a larger capacity. As a result, the volume and weight of the satellites will increase rapidly. The number of satellite launch has also increased rapidly, bringing an urgent need.
Of course, China Aerospace wants to share a share in the world satellite launch market. The current list is the Australian Star Series designed by Mi Guo Huangs to help Australia.
However, the failure of the failure of the ignition and the failure of the launch of the fire caused some damage to the goodwill of the Long March 2 E. It also made the aerospace task more cautious. Until last month, the Asian Star No. 2 was successfully sent to the space by the Long March 2 E Rocket, and it will only be sent to space before it will be sent to space. The reputation has recovered a lot.
If you don't come to see it yourself, watching news on TV is not to realize how magnificent and spectacular the invention of human conquest.
In the exhibition room of the logistics base, Luo Yujuan introduced the principles of the construction of the base, the glorious history of the rocket launch, and the principles of rocket launch and satellite operation described on the exhibition board.
The Rockets have faced the launch, and it is impossible to visit outside the launch rack. After visiting the dispatch center, everyone watched the dense and organized work scenario, and was taken by Luo Yujuan to the canteen of the logistics base for dinner.
Although the dinner in the base is a large cafeteria, the dishes are still more abundant. At least it is much richer than the Shushu Earnar. After all, the aerospace unit is now a key guarantee unit. The treatment is different from the general military research institute.
After dinner, everyone came out of the base, and Luo Yujuan climbed to a hill far away from the base.
This is the best place to watch the rocket launch, which can clearly overlook the glory launch base of the entire lighting.
The cheap telescope bought for children in the five stone markets came in handy.
"The mountains beside the rocket are all stones!"
"There is a large puddle under the rocket!"
Everyone watched the launch rack and the rocket with a telescope, and found a lot of details, all of which were discussing.
"Sister Luo, why did that big puddle use?" Gillette Azi asked in his mouth, still holding a telescope mirror in his hand.
"That's called a diversion slot." Luo Yujuan said: "More than ten meters deep, nearly 100 meters in length, and width are 28 meters. It is equivalent to a magnitude 4 or five earthquake. Let's talk about it, what is the role of the diversion slot? "
"Sister Luo, you just said that there was an earthquake when the rocket was launched. Then this sink should be used to relieve the earthquake." Azi said.
"A Zi is really smart." Luo Yujuan laughed: "This is a role of a diversion slot, relieves vibration, protects the launch rack and surrounding equipment."
"There must be the effect of cooling down?" Mu Yan Laha said: "The flame sprayed by the rocket will burn the water, and the elbow brother takes us to do experiments. Burning below "
"Well, this classmate had a brain -brain, and the pool also played a cooling role to protect the ground facilities from damage to flames. Is there any?"
Everyone can't think of it anymore.
Luo Yujuan laughed: "In fact, there is another, environmentally friendly. There are many additives in the fuel used by flames. The burning exhaust gas will pollute the air in the air. Disposal in the air causes greater pollution. "
Zhou Zhi watched the peak of the diversion slot obliquely facing, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and did not even have a mud, so he asked: "Teacher Luo, the clean hillside, the water spray of the water spray of the diversion slot is sprayed with the water spray of the diversion slot. "
"Yes." Luo Yujuan nodded: "There are 10,000 cubic meters of water filled with water in that diversion slot. After the launch, only one -fifth can be left. The rest will become hot water and water vapor. Driven the flames, sprayed on the hillside along the direction of the diversion slot, the current look of the hillside is caused by over time. "
"There is another joke. The earliest because of the confidential design, the high red brick wall surrounded the base. As a result, every time it was launched, the brick wall would be underwrite once. Approval of the high iron fence and wire mesh there, so that there is no longer a repair of the wall every time it is launched. "
Everyone is happy. Such a story is not fortunate to have a trip in person, it is impossible to hear at all.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Liangshan's night in the sky is exceptionally bright, and the moon is also bright. It is difficult to see the stars in other places. The stars are difficult to see the moon. Observation.
Everyone was waiting for the launch window under the sky fighting.
There are three stations in the entire base, but only two are completed, and the launch rack is erected.
The oldest station No. 3 was the oldest. It was completed at the end of 1978. It first launched the Long March No. 3 rocket in January 1984. The main task is now the launch of the long two B.
The No. 2 station is new, and it was only put into use five years ago. Now it is mainly used for launching two bundles.
Base 1 is now just a foundation. It is planned to be used for the launch of the manned spacecraft, but now it is only repaired by the railway tunnel.
The rockets here are transported through the train. After being transported to the base, the hierarchical assembly is completed at the assembly base, then pulled to the transmitting frame to combine, and then add fuel to wait for launch.
In addition to protecting the base, the task of the head of Zhou is also the work of their group every time they go out to pick up the rocket.
Soon, the alarm sounded in the base. Luo Yujuan looked at the watch: "Now entering the last half -hour program, the alarm is to notify the ground personnel to transfer to the mountain." (End of this chapter)
