Chapter 221
Now the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is a rocket carrying practical satellites.
It is the Wentian-10 series of carrier rockets, which have already carried out many launch missions.
The latest model is equipped with a 150-ton H-2C liquid oxygen kerosene engine and four 80-ton H-1D engines.
Compared to the previous one, the thrust has been greatly improved.
The total thrust of the two-stage rocket also reached 470 tons.
The takeoff weight was also increased to 260 tons.
The satellite it carries is also a series of Tianyan spy satellites jointly developed with the General Intelligence Agency.
It can also be called a military reconnaissance satellite.
It is equipped with two high-precision cameras with a resolution of about 5 meters, a storage tank, and a chemical battery.
It also works very simply.
After the photographic film is exposed.
It is then loaded directly into the storage tank.
When all the shooting tasks are completed.
The rescue capsule then protects the tank to return to the atmosphere and recover.
You can also think of this satellite as a disposable consumable.
"Three Five Three", but in this era, this thing is already a very advanced thing.
Although it is a bit more cumbersome to use.
But the role it can play is significant.
The total weight of the entire satellite reached 800 kg.
However, the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of the Qiantian-10 carrier rocket can reach 1.5 tons.
In the future, he will be the core member of the Huaxia space launch mission.
More than military reconnaissance satellites.
For example, meteorological satellites, communication satellites, detection experimental satellites, navigation, etc. are all lined up for research and development.
If the Sky Eye satellite can be successfully launched this time.
A series of satellites will follow.
One of the most important projects is the Beidou navigation project.
Navigation satellite networking has gone through the stage of theoretical demonstration.
It proved to be theoretically possible.
Moreover, this project is also a project under the strong guidance of Zhang Xueming.
In some very important areas of scientific research.
Zhang Xueming will also give guidance.
With a vision of the future, he knows exactly what to do.
Once the navigation satellite is successfully networked and operated.
The implications are absolutely revolutionary.
“10....9....8.....3.....2.....1......."
"Launch!"
Under the night sky, the tower suddenly emitted billowing smoke.
The light emitted by the flamethrower illuminated the entire night sky.
Then it was as if he saw a fiery sun rising into the sky.
A white-painted launch vehicle soared into the sky under the dazzling light, faster and faster.
Satellite monitoring stations, satellite telemetry ships, and radar stations along the route have all started construction.
Their task is to monitor the operation of the satellite and report back to the launch center.
At this moment, everyone in the launch center is above their respective jobs.
On the screen in the lobby, the flight attitude and data of the Wentian-10 rocket are displayed.
This is despite the fact that the Qiantian-10 series rockets have had a number of successful launches.
But space launch missions have always been frequent.
Any small detail can cause the mission launch to fail.
No one can guarantee 100% success.
At present, the Jiuquan Launch Center can maintain a 100% launch success rate.
It relies on rigor, rigor and rigor.
The rocket managed to break out of the atmosphere after about two minutes of operation.
Five minutes later, the two-stage rocket successfully launched the Sky Eye reconnaissance satellite into low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 200 kilometers.
This also means that the launch mission is a complete success.
Huaxia astronauts successfully sent the world's first satellite into space.
And it's not that kind of experimental little satellite.
It is a reconnaissance satellite weighing 800 kilograms.
From here, we can see how strong the foundation and strength of the current Chinese aerospace industry are.
After the successful launch of this military reconnaissance satellite.
It also means that the Beidou navigation satellite project can already be launched.
In Zhang Xueming's view.
The use of navigation satellite systems in World War II is still promising.
Four years is enough time to complete the test, launch and network operation.
After observing the launch mission.
Zhang Xueming also visited several research institutes under the Aerospace Industry Group.
The tasks of the aerospace industry group are very heavy.
One of the projects attracted Zhang Xueming's attention.
"Heavy launch vehicle project."
And the design and development work has already begun on this project.
This project was also set up for the lunar exploration project.
However, this lunar exploration project is not easy to achieve.
Not at least in a short time. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
It requires much more engine thrust.
At least it must reach the level of the Saturn launch vehicle.
The first stop went to the Aerospace Industry Group Group.
The second stop came to the Aviation Industry Group.
His formation arrangement is still very full.
And this year is also the year of technological explosion.
A number of projects that were established several years ago will bear fruit this year.
In the Taiyuan test flight base.
Zhang Xueming looked at the big jet plane parked on the runway.
There was also an obsessive look in his eyes.
This is also the first jet large aircraft in Huaxia.
This large jet on the runway is the culmination of the Air Force's high-speed jet bomber program.
Its starting layout features an elongated streamlined fuselage, a monowing structure on a large sweep wing.
A total of six turbojet-5 non-afterburner versions were suspended under the wing...........
The thrust of a single unit reached 3 tons, and the total thrust of six units was up to 18 tons.
With the blessing of such strong power.
The performance of this high-speed jet bomber is also quite powerful.
The maximum take-off weight exceeded 100 tons.
The maximum flight speed reached Mach 0.8, or 1,000 kilometers per hour, and the ceiling was up to 10,000 meters.
Its internal magazine is located between the two main landing gear of the midsection fuselage.
The maximum bomb load can reach 15 tons.
It also has a very outstanding performance in terms of range.
The maximum combat range can reach 7000 km.
In this regard, it is not at all inferior to the B-29 bombers in service.
In all respects the performance is stronger than the B-29 bomber.
The Air Force waits for the bomber to complete its maiden flight.
It will be gradually exchanged.
More than 1,000 B-29 bombers were retired within three years.
The estimated purchase quantity is 1,500 aircraft.
The first batch of purchases was 300 aircraft.
Compared to propeller bombers.
Large high-speed jet bombers are naturally much more expensive.
Even the cost is lower on Huaxia's side.
The unit price purchase also reached 1 million RMB.
These 1,500 bombers alone cost 1.5 billion, and that's not counting ongoing logistical maintenance.
Of course, it is not a one-time expense.
The Air Force side can still hold up.
With the approach of World War II.
The Huaxia side must maintain a large enough group of bombers.
In the future, on the battlefield, these jet strategic bombers can come in handy.
In addition to this jet bomber intended to replace the B-29 bomber.
There is also a jet strategic bomber project on the Air Force's side.
It was designed to replace the B-3.7 strategic bomber in the current 36 service.
Compared to the H-37 jet bomber.
This strategic bomber will have a larger tonnage.
The bomb load, range, etc. cannot be lower than the B-36 in service.
Therefore, its development will be more difficult.
Unlike the H-37 bomber, the existing engine can be used directly.
It needs engines with more thrust and more numbers.
But at the current pace.
The first flight is expected to take place this year.
It can be put into service by the year after that, that is, in 39 years at the latest.
A number of jet fighters are also in service.
For example, jet attack aircraft, carrier-based jet fighters, high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft, jet strategic transport aircraft, turboslurry strategic bombers and strategic transport aircraft and other projects.
It is not far from the Air Force entering the jet era in full.
Major breakthroughs have been made in aerospace and aerospace.
Not to be outdone, the Navy side is not to be outdone.
Not only the heavyweight big guys went into the water, but also the heavyweight guys began to build.
