Chapter 1268 Return Capsule Lands
At 9:15 a.m. on August 11, Xia Yin calendar, 23 hours and 40 minutes had passed since the last ignition command was issued. There were still 20 minutes to go before a whole day had passed. Ergou's "adventure work" in outer space was 24 hours. Adding the time it took for the JZ-404 rocket to launch the spacecraft and satellite into orbit, it was not long before Ergou returned to the ground.
[The Dog Experimental Spacecraft soared in space for 20 hours. After completing the in-orbit space experiment, it will land at our company's Southwest Launch Center
Ergou's current vital signs: good]
The announcement content on the Jiuzhou Technology Aerospace Live Room not only included the names of some in-orbit space experiments, but also an extremely outrageous "whipping corpse" location.
The three cases of SpaceX's Starlink satellites hitting Jiuzhou Technology spacecraft were all placed on this location, recorded in Daxia characters and English.
The time of the accident, orbital coordinates, satellite number and other information were all recorded one by one.
Every netizen who enters the Jiuzhou Aerospace live broadcast room can clearly see these contents on the side screen. Fortunately, SpaceX is not listed, otherwise this Samsung collision incident will not only fail to hit the dog, but also kill the stock price.
But even so, Wall Street investors, SpaceX executives and Masker himself were extremely angry when they saw these contents. Many people were even angry enough to report Jiuzhou Technology, claiming that these contents harmed their rights!
The reason is that although Masker did not let SpaceX go public, it said in a general staff meeting that "the company may not be able to list its Starlink satellite Internet business until 1025 or later in the Xia Yin calendar."
This big pie made Wall Street investors excited to throw a lot of money at SpaceX. Although they had previously surrounded Masker and wanted to bankrupt him, this group of investors would not take these things seriously at all.
In their hearts, making money is the most important thing!
And now, Jiuzhou Technology has once again delayed their making money, and even made them lose money in the future!
Countless people watched the attitude thrusters of the Dog Experimental Spacecraft adjust their attitude in the Jiuzhou Aerospace live broadcast room in a state of cursing, worship, concern, blessing, cursing, calmness, etc.
"Adjust the orbit, the spacecraft attitude is yawed to the left relative to the forward direction, and the horizontal flight state."
"The attitude is in place, and the orbital return separation is started."
"The altitude is correct, and the secondary attitude adjustment is carried out. The push-return assembly turns 90 degrees counterclockwise to make the propulsion cabin face forward, and the return brake is ignited and the return brake is implemented."
Li Jian stared at his colleague Li Lun, who was the zero of this space mission and shouldered the important task of command.
Although the majority of netizens did not understand these commands and commands, they were still very interested in brushing the barrage while watching the live broadcast, and occasionally looked up at the sky outside.
Although no matter where they were at this time, it was impossible for them to see the Ergou spacecraft still in the outer space orbit through the cover of the atmosphere.
About 3 minutes later, the Dog Spacecraft carried by Ergou entered a state of unpowered free fall and entered a semi-ballistic return orbit;
"Altitude 145 kilometers, push-return separation."
Under Li Lun's calm command, the technicians controlled the system to separate part of the propulsion module, which burned in the atmosphere.
The return module where Ergou was located began to carry out an extremely important task, which was to eliminate the force interference generated when the two modules separated, find a correct re-entry attitude angle, the angle between the speed direction and the local horizontal plane, and prepare to re-enter the atmosphere.
This angle must be accurately controlled within 1.5° to 1.7°.
Huh...
Many staff members of Jiuzhou Technology Southwest Command Center were taking deep breaths under great pressure.
Because the return module has another very important level to go through before entering the blue planet,
"Altitude 90 kilometers, final inspection and maintenance system.
Altitude 80 kilometers, enter the black barrier!"
Swoosh--
Although there was no transmission of this sound at all, countless people felt that they heard a special sound.
That sound represents isolation from everything, represents complete isolation and helplessness, and no one knows.
The return capsules of all spacecrafts on the Blue Star will generate shock waves when entering the atmosphere at ultra-high speed. This shock wave will make the surface of the return capsule and the surrounding gas molecules sticky and burn. This state will generate huge heat, and the heat is not easy to dissipate. They will naturally gather around the return capsule, forming a high-temperature zone with a temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius.
The gas in the high-temperature zone and the molecules of the surface materials of the return capsule are decomposed and ionized in the violent collision, and a plasma zone will be formed.
Since plasma can absorb and reflect radio waves, any information that the return capsule communicates with the outside world will naturally be interfered with, attenuated, or even instantly interrupted.
The entire return capsule is like entering the periphery of a black hole, isolated and helpless. This phenomenon is called black barrier.
Although Li Lun did not provide detailed popular science for netizens, he still introduced it very concisely: "The black barrier phenomenon has a great impact on the return capsule when it enters the atmosphere. The return capsule will interrupt communication for three to nine minutes in the black barrier area.
Therefore, our command center is currently unable to contact the return capsule.
But don’t panic, the return capsule has a system that can operate independently. When it reaches the specified altitude, the return capsule will automatically turn on the deceleration facility.
And there are observation equipment on the ground for real-time monitoring. We will not let Ergou really be alone. "
"Woof woof woof!"
Returning to the cabin, Ergou had completely woken up.
The violent shaking and fluctuations, even if they are filtered by shock-absorbing equipment, still give it a shocking feeling.
In simple dog cognition, this is the feeling that a terrible disaster is coming.
At this moment, a sound suddenly appeared in the return cabin.
"Woof woof woof~"
"Wow, you bark so loudly, but you haven't grown up yet. You are not a big dog. You are the second dog we adopted. How about we call you Ergou?"
"Ergou, you did a great job, I will reward you with a can!"
"Ergou, these are the bones I secretly brought from the canteen. There is a lot of meat on them. Are you happy to chew them?"
"Ergou, you are about to fly into the sky. We haven't flown up yet..."
"come on!"
"Hahaha, when you come back, we are going to play on the lawn."
…
In the internal working channel of Jiuzhou Technology Southwest Launch Center, a voice suddenly came out: "Southwest Command Center, Southwest Command Center, this is the Daxia Anxi Measurement and Control Center, this is the Daxia Anxi Measurement and Control Center.
The radar tracking is normal, the telemetry signal is normal, and the flight attitude of the target module is correct.
Repeat..."
