Vol 2 Chapter 1260: Return capsule airdrop experiment

Latest website: With the end of the long vacation, everyone immediately put into the heavy work.

The same goes for Wu Hao. His work after taking leave is more onerous than others.

After dealing with some company matters, Wu Hao immediately took Yang Fan to the Northwest Research Base. There is another very important experiment waiting for them.

In the depths next door to the northwest desert in the center of October, the temperature has begun to drop. They are still used to wearing short sleeves in Anxi, but when they get here, they have already put on long sleeves.

He was greeted by Zhou Xiangming, the vice president of Haoyu Aerospace and the deputy chief engineer of the Institute of Aerospace Technology, and Yang Xiaoyun, the deputy general manager of Haoyu Aerospace.

Mr. Wu, Mr. Yang, have worked hard along the way. Yang Xiaoyun stepped on high heels and walked quickly to Wu Hao and the others, reaching out to them enthusiastically.

Haha, it's your hard work, what are we hard working on. Wu Hao held Yang Xiaoyun's hand with a smile. Although Yang Xiaoyun tidied up very decently, the wheatish complexion also explained the problem. The northwest is arid and sunny, so Yang Xiaoyun, who hasn't been here for too long, has become a black swan from a white beauty before.

After Wu Hao shook hands with the other people who came to greet him, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you see other people, Yu Chengwu."

Mr. Yu went to the rocket engine test center, and he won’t be able to come back tomorrow. Yang Xiaoyun replied immediately.

Wu Hao waved his hand after hearing the words: "Let him work at ease and don't care about me.

This time I came, mainly to participate in the high-altitude drop experiment of our manned spacecraft's return capsule. There is nothing else, so he doesn't need to worry about it. "

Yes. Zhou Xiangming responded, and then smiled at Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, let me introduce you. This is the person in charge of our manned spacecraft project, Mr. Guo Yulong and Mr. Guo."

Hello, Mr. Guo, it's been a long time. Wu Hao held Guo Yulong's hand and said enthusiastically.

In fact, let Guo Yulong be the person in charge of the entire manned extraordinary project, this Wu Hao personally made the decision. So he was very impressed with Guo Yulong.

It's just that this project is relatively low-key, and the projects are all located in the Northwest Research Base, so Wu Hao has relatively little contact with them.

Guo Yulong is 40 years old this year. After graduating with a master's degree in aerospace industry, he entered the manned spacecraft research department of the Aerospace Industry Corporation to participate in the research of related manned spacecraft. He once participated in the development of a certain type of manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft in the country. Later, because of his work, he chose to continue his studies and pursue a doctorate degree.

After graduating from his Ph.D., he finally chose to resign due to job transfer and other reasons, and joined a civil satellite technology company as chief engineer.

Later, because the capital chain of this civilian satellite technology company was broken and had to go bankrupt, he came to Haoyu Technology to apply for the job on the recommendation of a friend.

At the beginning, he was mainly responsible for the design and development of spacecraft, and he participated in the inflatable and inflatable space experiment capsule they launched in August this year. Later, after the manned space project was approved, he came to the manned spacecraft technology research project team and served as the chief engineer and project leader.

Guo Yulong shook his head, and then reported to Wu Hao impatiently. After all, so much financial resources have been invested, and now that the big boss has finally come to inspect the work, he can't do a good job.

In case he is dissatisfied and cut off the source of funds, then he probably has the desire to die. To know this project, he put all his efforts into it. If it really stopped, even if it was his life.

"Mr. Wu, our manned spacecraft development project is progressing smoothly. We have conducted several ground and scale model airdrop experiments before.

And this time, we will start an intensive physical airdrop experiment. In other words, what we are throwing this time will be a real manned spacecraft return capsule, which has the same structure and technology as the manned spacecraft return capsule we will launch next spring. "

Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "When will the experiment begin?"

Guo Yulong heard the words and nodded and replied: "It will start at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and the air force transport plane will land at the base airport early tomorrow morning, and then we will load the prepared return cabin into the transport plane.

After waiting for the experiment to start, the transport plane carrying the return capsule will fly to an altitude of 5,000 meters, and then drop it.

After the return cabin is thrown out of the transport aircraft cabin, it will immediately open the guiding parachute and throw a parachute group composed of three main parachutes to slow down the return cabin.

Wait for the moment when the return cabin is about to land, the recoil engine on the return cabin will ignite and continue to decelerate until the return cabin lands smoothly. "

It's the same as the actual landing process. Wu Hao said with a smile.

Yes, the whole process is to simulate the whole process of our return capsule after returning from space to prepare for our unmanned spacecraft launch and return landing next spring. Guo Yulong replied.

Hmm, not bad. Wu Hao showed a satisfied look, then said to everyone: "Let's go, let's get in the car and talk as we walk.

Immediately everyone boarded Coaster, who was parked on the side. After sitting down, Wu Hao then asked, Are there any risks in the whole experiment process, and how are the relevant countermeasures prepared? "

Any experiment has certain risks, and the same is true for such experiments. Guo Yulong nodded and replied: "But you can rest assured that in this regard, we have made very sufficient preparations to control the related risks to the minimum.

The landing site we will use for the airdrop to land tomorrow is deep next to the desert, and there is no human population. We have started to survey the entire area a few days in advance, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to ensure everything is foolproof.

Before the start of the experiment tomorrow, we will also conduct an inspection of the entire landing field, and the experiment will not start until safety is confirmed.

I can't guarantee 100% success in the entire experiment, but the probability of success is still very high. Even if it fails, that is, the return capsule falls, the losses caused by this are very limited. We are confident in this regard.

Moreover, we have prepared three such return cabins to ensure that the entire experiment can be carried out normally and will not delay the overall project process due to individual accidents. "
