Chapter 479 An unusual space crash

Ah Sanguo's launch this time was ill-fated. They thought they could become the protagonist, but God wanted to joke with them.

They feel that if they didn't have a good mentality, they would have exploded earlier.

Just after they re-announced their satellite launch plan, Arclight Aerospace released news that they would conduct a live broadcast. This live broadcast was designed to show the construction progress of the New Tiangong Space Station.

After the live broadcast of the groundbreaking ceremony of the Xintian Palace Space Station, it has not been broadcast live again. Usually, some small video clips are released to introduce the progress, but this time it will be a comprehensive introduction.

Moreover, there will also be interviews with professional reporters during this live broadcast, because ArcLight Aerospace has received strong support from China’s propaganda department and will produce a documentary specifically for them on the development of China’s private aerospace industry.

Although Arclight Aerospace released the news a few hours later than them, the live broadcast was a little earlier than their launch time.

Really, if it weren’t for the fact that Arc Light Aerospace is a private company and they, Ah Sanguo, don’t want to get to know it, Arc Light Aerospace would have died long ago.

But before long, the second thing came.

The day after their Asan Kingdom announced the launch mission, the American Musk Aerospace Company also issued an announcement that it would conduct a launch mission, that is, to test the performance of the Manned Dragon spacecraft again, and if this no-load test is successful, They will launch real manned missions soon.

And Musk Aerospace's launch time is one day earlier than them.

What the hell...are all private aerospace companies like this now?

If it weren't for the fact that Musk Aerospace is an American company and they, Asan Kingdom, didn't want to be familiar with it, Musk Aerospace would have died long ago.

But who made them announce the accurate launch time first? It’s hard to change it now. After all, space launches involve many departments, and precise preparations must be made in advance. If you want to change the time, you have to change these departments. Stroke it again.

Moreover, the media and spectators from all over the world were notified, and they had to be notified if the time was to be changed. This was a bit... embarrassing, so they could only hold their noses and admit it.

On October 15th, inside the Asan Kingdom Space Launch Center, preparations were being made for the upcoming rocket launch, and all the invited reporters and spectators were in place.

The things launched this time are all their latest technologies, and they are all perfect embodiments of localization. It won't work if they don't publicize them well.

The Minister of Defense and the Director of Aerospace are both sitting in the command center. The launch is about to be launched in dozens of minutes. It can be said that now is the most nervous and busy moment, so the staff here are making final inspections and preparations.

However, as the top bosses, they don't have to worry about this. They are here just to give speeches after the launch is successful, so now they have the most leisure time and can just pay attention to the live broadcast of Arc Light Aerospace.

After hearing the conversation between Li Danwen and Yang Nianming, the Minister of Defense smiled and stroked his beard and said, "The Chinese people are really interesting. This question was first raised by the Americans. They only said "a certain country". How afraid they are of the United States."

"And the United States is right to question it. As long as it is equipped with weapons, it will become a space battleship. The Chinese still want to cover it up. It is really a hypocritical country."

"Relatively speaking, our country can be called a real big country, and we have never denied our strength."

The director of the space agency also echoed, "Yes, they are a hypocritical country. Countries that believe in communism are always like this. And all kinds of noises can always be heard in their filming location. It is obvious that the space station has not been completed yet. , they actually use something that has not yet been completed to promote it.”

This is just them chatting here. If others knew about their conversation, they would definitely wonder where they got the confidence to say that others were using unfinished things for publicity.

Not long after, their satellite, which contained their most high-tech technology, was sent into space.

Not to mention, the "big boiler" rocket that has been upgraded several times successfully sent the 4-ton satellite into space. However, when the people of Asan Kingdom cheered and wanted to send the satellite into the transfer orbit, they discovered that The satellite is actually out of control, and its orbit has begun to deviate.

Of course, this kind of thing happens to them all the time. It is common for them to crash a plane, collide with a submarine, or turn a battleship over. This time it may be some minor problem. As long as you check it carefully, you may be able to find the problem.

But this time they were disappointed. Before they could regain control of the satellite, the situation worsened.

Although they could no longer control the satellite, the satellite's condition could still be monitored. Three minutes after losing control, the satellite's engine malfunctioned.

The engine automatically ignited successfully, each engine nozzle was activated, and began to spray intermittently and move irregularly.

At this moment, Ah Sanguo panicked, and the big words were blown out, and they started to slap in the face, but they still spread the situation as soon as possible.

As soon as something goes wrong here in Asan Kingdom, other countries will also panic. They don't care about Asan Kingdom's face. They only care about their own satellites and spacecrafts.

Nowadays, countries that want to launch satellites will report to the United Nations. The general launch time, orbit data, satellite functions, etc. will be reported. In this way, other countries will also know whether the orbits of newly launched satellites will be consistent with their own country’s satellites. The orbits coincide, so basically every country knows the satellites in orbit.

So every time a country wants to launch a satellite, the countries that have satellites orbiting nearby are basically the ones that pay the most attention. They will track the positions of the satellites being launched, because they are the closest. If something unexpected happens, incident, they were the first to have trouble.

In addition to scrapped spacecraft and satellites, operating space equipment has the ability to change orbits. When a threat is predicted, they can avoid it. However, they do not dare to change orbits at will when encountering this "threat" of irregular motion.

Fortunately, the orbital distance between the satellites is quite far, and the satellite is not moving very fast. They can wait until Asan Kingdom's satellite is relatively stable before they respond in the wrong place.

It didn't take long, before they made a choice, the satellite made the choice for them.

After the satellite carried out several intermittent injections and randomly moved its position several times, it suddenly accelerated and crashed straight into a satellite.

Although the satellites have accelerated, their relative distance is still quite far. After the orbit of the satellite is confirmed, it can still be done if you want to dodge.

However, there is no way to hide the satellite, because the data shows that it is a scrapped satellite belonging to the country of the furry bear.

When the signal from another satellite disappeared at the same time, they knew that the second satellite collision in space had occurred, 10 years and eight months after the last one.

The reason why they were able to "see" the satellite collision so quickly and clearly this time was thanks to the satellite collision ten years ago that made them more vigilant and paid more attention to the monitoring of space objects.

This incident also let them know that their attention was correct, because the first collision occurred 50 years after the earth had the first artificial satellite, and this second collision only took place 10 years ago.

Next, they will be busy. They must confirm the diffusion range and operational data of the debris cloud as quickly as possible so that they can change the orbit of the spacecraft in the corresponding orbit to avoid it.

In a relatively confidential space command center in the United States, the "Reef" team that completed this precision strike plan was in chaos because the impact angle and speed were different from what they had calculated before.

Their panic was not caused by the sudden satellite accident, but because they knew the result.

They made precise models before and finally found the correct impact angle and speed to ensure that the debris generated this time would only attack the Tiangong Space Station, and the final debris would not have a major impact.

But this mistake will definitely have unpredictable and serious consequences.

It's just... they don't know how serious this serious consequence will be in the end.

While they were panicking, the tactical director Bretta, who had been drinking coffee leisurely in the back, smiled.

Victor, the deputy director of the space agency who was getting angry, saw his smile that was inappropriate for the occasion. He didn't bother to call him to report or wipe his sweat. He immediately approached him and growled excitedly, "Damn it, is it you?!" What on earth did you do?"

PS: The condition is not very good. I was too lazy yesterday and I have a bit of a stomachache today. In view of the fifth update yesterday, I will update the first update today...
