1171: C1171 The Task of Testing and Controlling Was Very Important

C1171 The Task of Testing and Controlling Was Very Important

There are very few countries in the world that can launch satellites. There were even fewer countries that could send satellites. They had to rent satellites from other countries for communication. It was quite disadvantageous to national security.

For example, the connection between the submarine and the shore had been there for a long time. It mainly relies on the long-wave radio, which can be transmitted to the surface of the earth. It could be transmitted to the sea far away, but the speed at which it spread was very low. A command with a dozen words would take a few minutes.

The longer the wavelength, the less information carried on the wavelength. In comparison, looking at the microwave, the amount of data carried was quite large.

Therefore, the long wavelength method was slowly no longer needed. Submarines used more satellites to communicate. If they continued to rent foreign satellites, that would be bad for the submarine, renting someone else's. Who knows if they were monitoring?

Therefore, it was inevitable for domestic communications satellites to be developed.

Now, this satellite was in the process of being launched.

It was enough for normal satellites to be launched, but for this current synchronous satellite, the launch would last for several days.

Now, the satellite had already entered the final circle of the elliptical transfer orbit. According to various data, it had the best ignition conditions for a second ignition in the air.

The satellite control center in Jingke was very nervous. Everyone was staring at the curve on the big screen. There was a practical curve and a theoretical curve. Only when these two curves were combined could it be successful.

"Attention, the ignition countdown begins now!" A voice sounded in the hall of the satellite control center.

This voice was transmitted to the sea at the same time. On the Surveying Vessel of the First Gazing, people were also very nervous.

Colonel Chen stood in the cabin and looked at the row of operators in front of him. Qin Guan, who was beside Colonel Chen, could also feel this kind of tense atmosphere.

"Countdown!"

Countdown. It was once a science fiction product. Before humans entered space, science fiction had this countdown. Later scientists thought it was not bad and used it in space.

When the countdown reached zero, the operator pressed a button and sent electromagnetic waves into space through the huge antenna of Vision 1.

At this time, the satellite just happened to pass by the top of Vision 2's head.

A series of data was injected into the satellite. The engine at the tail of the East Red Satellite # 2 immediately lit up!

The hydraulic liquid oxygen engine emitted hot flames. In the dark space, it pushed the satellite to accelerate forward.

If it did not accelerate, it would start to follow the curve and fall toward the nearest location! And now, its height didn't drop!

On the distant 1st Surveying Vessel, the radar was monitoring the satellite's movement. A series of monitoring data was being converted by the computer and appeared on the terminal.

On the screen, the curve of the satellite that marked its angle rapidly fell, while the coordinate line at the distant altitude was jumping up and down.

"Satellite ignition successful!"

"Satellite has entered the quasi-synchronous orbit."

When they heard this news, everyone cheered.

Qin Guan frowned. "What is a quasi-synchronous orbit?"

According to Qin Guan's plan, once the engine was turned on and the satellite was pushed up, it would enter the orbit.

Hearing Qin Guan's question, Colonel Chen explained, "President Qin, we still have a lot of work to do now. Our work is far from over. This is the quasi-synchronous orbit. It means that we have become the synchronous satellite. However, our satellite has not reached the designated location yet. It's like we have reached a certain village and are now going to a certain resident. "

Only then did Qin Guan understand that there were still so many things to do!

Launching a synchronous satellite was definitely not simple.

"Specifically speaking, our current satellite is still horizontal. We need to make the satellite stand up, and we need to send a series of instructions. At the same time, we need to build a drifting speed for the satellite. Let the satellite slowly drift towards the final destination."

"When the satellite drifts to the designated location, it still needs to stop?" Qin Guan asked.1

Colonel Chen nodded. "That's right. President Qin, your thinking is very sharp. We still need to send a brake command to the satellite through the remote control system. Set the satellite in the sky above the equator, which is 36,000 kilometers high. The satellite's drifting process in space will take half a month. During this period of time, the satellite had to be remotely monitored every day to prevent it from slipping out of the designated circle. It can only drift five or six degrees per day."

After saying that, Colonel Chen made an example. "This is like driving a big car. If the animals are disobedient, then use a whip to shake them a few times. Prepare to whip them a few times at any time. The whip keeps shaking to make them behave."

Qin Guan nodded. "That must be the matter of our Surveying Vessel in the pacific ocean. To us, it's actually enough to follow. It's completely for our additional mission this time."

When he heard Qin Guan say this, Colonel Chen finally gave him a thumbs up. Everyone said that President Qin was an all-rounder and knew everything. Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from President Qin.

In order to monitor the satellite, there was a Surveying Vessel in the Three Great Seas. However, when the satellite entered the quasi-synchronous orbit, actually, it was in the sky above the pacific ocean. At this time, one Surveying Vessel was enough. They were separated by half a planet, so they definitely couldn't see it. Here, it was just to cover the navy's inspection.

Qin Guan had a smile on his face. He had mastered everything. He had gained a lot from this satellite launch.

To achieve global communications, we need at least three of them. So in the future, we will definitely launch artificial satellites in other locations.

For the next few days, we will wait for Silver Country to continue holding back their ultimate move.

Qin Guan stayed on the Surveying Vessel for another day and was about to return to the destroyer. When he arrived at the cabin of the ship again, he found that everyone was very anxious, as if they were discussing something.

"What happened?" Qin Guan could not help but ask.

"Our satellite has completed the task of testing and controlling it. Originally, it had nothing to do with us, but now that something has happened to the satellite, everyone should work together. That is what we should do." Colonel Chen said.

As expected, something had happened to the satellite?

Colonel Chen had a bitter smile on his face and said, "Our satellite suddenly has a fever."

A fever?

Space was cold. After exiting the atmosphere, Outer Space was almost an absolute zero. Only when the sun was shining on it would the temperature on the satellite slightly increase.

Therefore, on the artificial satellite, there was no need to worry about how to disperse the heat. What they needed to worry about was how to keep the temperature.

But now, this satellite suddenly had a fever!

The so-called "fever" referred to the battery on the satellite suddenly heating up, causing the temperature of the satellite to rise.

Originally, according to the design requirements, the battery temperature on the satellite could not exceed 30 degrees, but now, in less than half an hour, the battery on the satellite had reached "high fever" to 60 degrees!
