Countless young people gathered in the viewing area near the scene to watch this moment that marked the feat of human space technology. Can the starship successfully enter space and move towards Mars?

Actually.

Not only people in Yingjiang, but netizens from all over the world are paying close attention to today's live broadcast of the starship launch. Space Exploration Technology Company has made a lot of attention today, and their stocks have soared.

Of course, if the starship launch fails today, it is estimated that the stock price of Space Exploration Technology Company will start to plummet tomorrow. After all, the stock market is very realistic.

In Xia Kingdom, there are also many young people who love aerospace and space. They are paying close attention to the live broadcast of the Space Exploration Technology Company's starship launch. This is a big event. On the major social media platforms in the country, there is the official website of Xia Kingdom TV Station Live broadcast, and the highest popularity today.

At Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, Ding Yue is watching the live broadcast of the Space Exploration Technology Company's starship launch online with teachers and students from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

"Students, it's the last minute, the starship is about to be launched."

Ding Yue said to the students of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics who were watching the live broadcast of the starship launch online: "Remember today, we must work unremittingly. One day we can also launch a spacecraft to Mars, realize manned landing on Mars, and Build our Mars base on Mars.”

The students were watching the live broadcast carefully and listening to Principal Ding’s earnest teachings.

"Countdown to Orion heavy rocket takeoff, one minute."

In the live broadcast room, the screen has come to the screen of the starship launched by the Space Exploration Technology Company.

This is a huge rocket. It is claimed to be the largest rocket with the strongest carrying capacity and the greatest thrust in the world. It was independently developed by Space Exploration Technology Company and uses four booster rockets.

As the "pinnacle" of human rocket technology, the Orion heavy rocket mainly uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel. Its thrust exceeds 10,000t, its take-off mass is 6,200t, its LEO carrying capacity is 220t, and its LTO carrying capacity is about 100t.

When the Orion heavy rocket appeared in the live broadcast footage, netizens in major live broadcast rooms around the world became excited.

"Is this the Orion?"

"Holy shit! This rocket is so big!"

"Light of humanity, Orion!"

"I have to say that Yingjiang is really great in the Rockets."

"The thrust of the Orion, Mader, exceeds 10,000 tons, which is awesome."

"The Orion is too powerful. It will be great when we can have such a powerful rocket."

"We must work hard and build such an awesome rocket."

"I really like the Orion, it looks very emotional and has that majestic body."

"The Orion uses four booster rockets, it's pretty cool."

"The Orion heavy rocket finally makes its debut."

In the live broadcast room of Xiaguo TV Station, netizens were also lamenting the Orion heavy rocket of Space Exploration Technology Company.

Many netizens are looking forward to it, when will we have our own heavy-lift rocket like Orion?

Although Xia Guo's Fat Nine is also very powerful, it still has some limitations. Domestic rocket technology still has a long way to go.

Just like the mature liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel technology, as well as rocket recovery technology, these all require our efforts to overcome.

Among them, rocket recovery technology is very critical. Once successfully developed, it can save a lot of rocket costs. After all, rocket recovery technology can recycle and reuse launched rockets.

The Space Exploration Technology Company has mastered rocket recovery technology.

After today's Orion heavy rocket is launched, the rocket will be recovered, mainly the four thrust rockets of the starship!

"Orion heavy rocket, countdown to launch!"

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4..."

"ignition!"

"3, 2, 1..."

boom!

In an instant, a white mist began to surge up from the bottom of the Orion heavy rocket. This white mist almost enveloped the entire escape tower.

Immediately afterwards, the dazzling flames lit up in the next second, and the huge Orion heavy rocket began to slowly lift off and fly towards the sky.

When he saw this moment, even Ding Yue felt a little excited.

Although this is the rocket of Space Exploration Technology Company, they have indeed created the "history" of space technology at this moment. However, in the future, Space Exploration Technology Company and its own Feiyue Technology must be in a competitive relationship. Let's wait and see. After the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences becomes more mature and more powerful, the world's leading force in space technology will be its own Leap Technology, not the Space Exploration Technology Company!

Ding Yue is still very confident about this. After all, he has a liberal arts university in Fucheng that is full of miracles that can create miracles, and he also has a university system. As long as he gives himself some time, he believes that he can catch up with the Space Exploration Technology Company. , even surpassing Space Exploration Technology Company.

"Escape Tower Escape!"

...

"The program turns normally!"

After the Orion heavy rocket is ignited, it only takes about 10 seconds to rise vertically.

Then it will enter the program turning stage.

Therefore, it can be seen in the live broadcast room that after the Orion heavy rocket was launched, it flew straight upward at first, but soon it began to deflect.

Under normal circumstances, the camera footage will not be visible, but this time the Orion heavy rocket has multiple camera angles, and there are camera angles on the Orion heavy rocket and the starship.

At this time, the gimbal or displacement motor equipped on the rocket engine will provide a deflection force to the rocket to help the rocket achieve the programmed turn.

The turn of this program can save fuel, and can send satellites or spacecrafts into predetermined orbits more accurately. The mission of the Orion heavy rocket is to accurately send Starship One into space.

Inside Starship One, in addition to the Mars landing team composed of six astronauts from Space Exploration Technology Company and NASA, there are also many supplies.

Prior to this, the Space Exploration Technology Company had already sent the materials needed to build Mars to the surface of Mars through rockets and spaceships in recent years. This time, people went there. , after successfully landing on Mars, you can start building a Mars base directly on Mars, and then conduct scientific research and survival on Mars.

So this time is indeed of great significance to mankind.

"What a big thing. It's lifted into the air. How much thrust does it take for such a big thing to soar into the sky?"

As a pure newbie who doesn't know much about anything, Wen Ruohan couldn't help but sigh while watching the live broadcast with Principal Ding.

"At least 10,000 tons of thrust."

At this time, An Yujia on the side smiled and explained to Wen Ruohan.

"In the future, we can build more powerful rockets, and they will definitely be no worse than those of Space Exploration Technology Company." Ding Yue said with firm eyes.

"Principal Ding, will Feiyue Group vigorously develop space technology in the future? Just like the Space Exploration Technology Company?"

An Yujia turned around and looked at Principal Ding and asked.

"Yes, Mr. An, don't you support it?"

Ding Yue nodded and said.

"Principal Ding, I definitely support it, but this road will definitely be very tortuous." An Yujia could already predict it.

President Ding must be planning to use the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences as the basis, and then use the funds from Feiyue Group as support, and cooperate closely with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In this way, the first aerospace company in Xia Guo can be developed. Enterprise.

If a strong aerospace company can be developed in China, it will definitely be very beneficial to the development of aerospace technology.

Space Exploration Technology Company, as well as Xia Guo, Eagle Sauce, Europe, etc., will focus on Mars in the future. It can be seen that the exploration of Mars and the establishment of Mars bases are very important to mankind.

Principal Ding has such ambitions, which shows that Principal Ding is really not simple. This is one of the most cutting-edge scientific and technological fields in mankind, and it requires a lot of investment to develop.

However, An Yujia feels that the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences should have this potential, but it will just take some time.

"Prepare for rocket separation!"

As the Orion heavy-lift rocket took off, it continued to reach altitudes of one thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters, five thousand meters, eight thousand meters, and ten thousand meters, all the while trying to break through the atmosphere.

According to ordinary rockets, the first stage rocket needs to be separated at this time.

After all, many rockets usually use multi-stage rockets in order to achieve thrust to send spacecraft into space.

But the Orion heavy rocket is different. Its four booster rockets will directly push Starship One to near outer space at once, and then the rocket ship will be separated, and the separated boosters will be separated. Pushing the rocket will initiate the rocket recovery process instead of causing irreparable rocket damage due to free fall.

"The rocket begins to separate! The arrow ship separates!"

At this time, the Orion heavy rocket has been lifted off for a while. The camera can see that it has broken through the earth's atmosphere and entered the near outer space, and then began to separate the booster rocket.

The next second.

boom! boom! Explosive bolts will explode the mechanisms connecting the four rocket boosters to the rocket. In this way, the separation of the boosters will be completed.

In the past, when rocket thrust technology was not mature enough, or when the orbital distance was relatively far, two-stage rocket boosting was generally used.

But it's different now.

The maturity of hydrogen-oxygen engine technology allows rockets to send satellites or spacecraft into space with only one stage of boost.

No, the Space Exploration Technology Company's Orion heavy-lift rocket was four rockets directly boosted by the first stage, directly sending Starship One into space.

After the four booster rockets were separated by explosive bolts, they began to be recovered according to the rocket recovery procedures of Space Exploration Technology Company.

This is also a very shocking moment.

Ding Yuedu watched the live broadcast of Space Exploration Technology Company's rocket recovery seriously without blinking his eyes.

That's right!

Every time the Space Exploration Technology Company launches a rocket, it will recover the rocket. Whenever this happens, people will feel excited because it looks so sci-fi.

I saw four rockets in the space outside the atmosphere. They adjusted their directions synchronously through the program and gradually fell over one by one. Originally, the arrows of the rockets were pointed at outer space, and the tails of the arrows were pointed at the earth. After this After the adjustment, the arrow of the rocket was pointed at the atmosphere.

Then the rocket performed ignition and boost again. With the help of thrust, the four rockets successfully entered the atmosphere simultaneously. Yes, they all performed simultaneously, from adjusting direction to ignition and boost entry into the atmosphere.

When four rockets pass through the atmosphere, fire appears on the rocket. This is a classic phenomenon. Generally, most materials will have such frictional fire when they pass through the earth's atmosphere and reach the ground.

After the rocket entered the atmosphere, the power boost was cancelled. At the same time, it adjusted its direction synchronously again. The arrow was pointed into space again, and the arrow tail was facing the ground.

The purpose of such another adjustment is to achieve re-ignition and create buffer resistance during the smooth landing of the rocket. Only in this way can it safely land and achieve recovery.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like a "rocket missile" hitting the ground directly?

That would not be rocket recovery technology.

finally.

The four rockets successfully passed through the atmosphere and appeared in the high altitude. People at the scene and live broadcast footage on the ground finally showed these four rockets.

These four rockets were aligned neatly and fell to the ground at extremely high speeds.

If these four rockets were not falling neatly and side by side at the same speed, some people would definitely think that they fell. In fact, they were controlled by technical support throughout the entire process.

When people saw this scene, they couldn't help but cheered.

"Fuck! Rocket is back!"

"Luo is back!"

"Awesome, after the rocket sent Starship One into space, it was able to come back automatically."

"The rocket recovery technology is really shocking!"

"too strong!"

"Holy shit, shit, shit? Rockets are back?"

Some netizens who didn't know about rocket recovery technology were shocked and had goosebumps all over their bodies when they saw this scene.

"Start buffer ignition!"

boom!

The four rockets were falling almost simultaneously in the high altitude.

And when they were getting closer and closer to the ground, they boosted and ignited for buffering, forming a strong buffering force in an instant. Even when buffering and igniting, these four rockets were very stable, and even the formation did not appear. A little bit of confusion.

People watching the rocket launch on the ground could see that the four rockets were falling slower and slower under the buffer of the booster rocket. Then the tripod unfolded, and the four rockets slowly landed, and finally landed accurately in the recovery area.
