Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

At this time, on the satellite monitoring map, Fat Five is rapidly approaching the Karman Line.

"Report, core-level separation was successful."

"Report, the rocket successfully broke through the Karman line."

Li Guoqing calmly ordered: "Prepare to correct the flight trajectory."

"receive."

After breaking through the Karman line, the distance of the launch vehicle has been further improved, but they still dare not take it lightly.

As long as the rocket has not reached the predetermined orbit within one second, it cannot be said that the launch was successful.

Chapter 112 I want to ask how high the sky is

Two forty.

"Entering the scheduled orbit 436, the current altitude is [-] kilometers."

"Secondary separation of the core was successful."

Everyone was so nervous that their palms were sweating, and the closer to the last moment, the more they couldn't make mistakes, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted, and tens of billions of investment could not be wasted like this.

"Everyone, calm down! We are only one step away from victory." Li Guoqing calmly ordered into the walkie-talkie.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was paying attention to the rocket. The last part of the journey seemed to be long and tormented.

The rocket is already flying in low-earth orbit around the blue star, and then gradually raises the altitude of the orbit.

The low earth orbit is 567 kilometers... 773 kilometers... 915 kilometers.

"Successfully entered orbit and scheduled orbit, ready to correct."

After half an hour of rectification, Fat Five, carrying 27 tons of goods, finally stabilized, flying around the blue star at the predetermined low-earth orbit of 915 kilometers.

After confirming that there was no problem, Li Guoqing picked up the walkie-talkie: "Prepare to launch the satellite."

"receive."

"receive."

The last part of Fat Five's core body opens the left and right cabins, and then rows of satellites are exposed, each satellite is like a cube.

Silently, two satellites were projected to the left and right sides at the same time. The satellites were wrapped in a golden protective film and flew towards the predetermined orbit.

Next, Fat Five spread the satellites all the way, and placed a total of 30 satellites on the predetermined orbit.

At the same time, in Shanmei Haicheng County.

Inside the joint command center composed of Thinking Society, Huawei, Tower Corporation, and Star Communications.

"Xingtong 1 has reached the scheduled orbit."

"Xingtong 2 has already..."

The Joint Command Center, which has taken over the control of the satellite, is busy, and many researchers from the Fat Five project team are also helping here.

30 satellites are delivered at one time, and these satellites are not the 227 kilograms of the Starlink project, but communication satellites weighing 891 kilograms.

The cost of each satellite is around 3000 million. Adding the cost of research and development and rocket transportation, the cost of a single satellite is definitely not low.

"Xingtong 1 successfully launched."

"Xingtong No. 2..."

Sure enough, things did not go smoothly, and something went wrong when the satellite 13 was deployed.

"Emergency backup activated."

"Yes."

Fortunately, many parts of the spacecraft are designed with triple redundancy. The second control system was successfully activated, and the 13th satellite successfully deployed the solar panels and then stabilized on the orbit.

By around four o'clock in the afternoon, all the 30 Starcom communication satellites were successfully deployed on the predetermined orbit.

The Joint Command Center in Haicheng County.

Wenchang Space Launch Center.

There are also audience friends who are watching the live broadcast at this moment across the country.

"I declare that the launch of the Long March [-]B carrier rocket was a complete success." Li Guoqing shouted excitedly.

Clap, clap... There was thunderous applause inside and outside the arena.

At the observation point near the launch site, after bursts of warm applause, the female reporter of the Yangcheng Daily looked at the silent Western reporters and felt very elated.

This group of double-standard dogs who look down on people, their faces are now swollen, especially the BBC reporter, who hurried away with the photographer.

Of course, there are also many thick-skinned well-known double-standard dogs, as if nothing happened before, continuing to interview or take pictures.

……

The mission of the Wenchang Launch Center has come to a successful conclusion, while the mission of the Haicheng County Joint Command Center has just begun.

Unlike the solar panels of other satellites, the solar panels of Starcom satellites are about twice as large in area as satellites of the same level, while generating 4.6 times more power, while weighing only about one-third.

The reason why this can be done is due to the development of new technologies, new silicon-carbon composite materials, which increase the unit power generation efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels to 34.2%.

In addition, a layer of thermoelectric power generation board is compounded, which can also be used to generate electricity, and the unit efficiency of the thermoelectric power generation board is about 23.6%.

The combination of the two power generation systems makes the power generation of Starcom communication satellites 4.6 times that of satellites of the same level.

The lighter power generation board, coupled with the special high-energy battery made by Thinking Battery Company, reduces the weight of the power generation system and energy storage system.

The reduction in weight of the power generation system and energy storage system means that other systems of the satellite can increase in weight. If compared in terms of functions, the Starcom communication satellite can be compared to a communication satellite of about 5 tons.

The thermoelectric power generation system has another advantage, which is to reduce the heat dissipation system of the satellite, because the thermoelectric power generation is to directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. With the reduction of heat energy, the heat dissipation system can naturally be reduced.

In this way, the functional system can take up more weight and make the function more powerful, which is why the Starcom communication satellite can be compared to the 5-ton satellite.

But these are auxiliary functions, and the next step is the key test. Communication satellites, as the name implies, are satellites used for communication.

Chen Wenna, Yu Chengdong, and people from the Iron Tower Company are all in the joint command center, and those in charge of operating these satellites are the staff of the Star Communications Company.

These communication satellites will be in charge of Star Communications, while the ground base stations will be in charge of the tower company.

In terms of communication infrastructure equipment, it is provided by the joint cooperation between Thinking Equipment and Huawei.
