Chapter 835： Violent Aesthetics
Baikonur launch site.
This is the most important aerospace base of the Soviet Union. It is located in the southern part of Kazakhstan, Kezerol Golden State, 200 kilometers away from the Aral Sea in the west, 288 kilometers away from Baikonur Town in the north, and 24 kilometers south of Chulatam.
This space base was built in 1955. On October 4, 1957, the world's first artificial earth satellite "Sputnik-1" was launched from here, opening up the world of human spaceflight. On April 12, 1961, the world's first manned spacecraft "Vostok" set sail from here, sending astronaut Yuri Gagarin into Earth orbit, and in April 1971, the Soviet Union was the first here. The first time the "Salute" 1 space station was sent into Earth orbit.
Here, witness the development and progress of Soviet aerospace technology. And now, standing quietly on the launch pad, is a huge rocket, and this rocket is the crystallization of the latest Soviet aerospace technology!
The thickest core stage in the middle, with a diameter of up to 7.7 meters! The boosters on both sides are also 3.9 meters in diameter, and the height of the entire rocket is 60 meters! Its powerful thrust is enough to send a 105-ton payload to low-Earth orbit, a 20-ton payload to geosynchronous orbit, and to the moon and Mars!
(Compared with my country's Long March rocket, the Long March 2 rocket has a diameter of only 3.35 meters and a near-ground carrying capacity of 2 tons. The Long March 5 rocket is only 5 meters in diameter! The near-ground carrying capacity is 23 tons.)
This kind of big rocket is also the rocket with the most thrust in the world. Its birth can be said to be the product of the Soviet Union's accumulation and hard work.
In the history of world spaceflight, the Soviet Union has had many firsts, the first man-made satellite, the first astronaut in space, etc. However, in the race to land on the moon, the Soviet Union failed, and the Americans breathlessly The Saturn 5, which launched more than a dozen pieces, was a long sigh of relief. The Soviet Union, the rocket n1 used to land on the moon, launched four times and failed four times. Therefore, the Soviet Union had to terminate the moon landing plan and let the Americans Had the last laugh.
Of course, the Soviet Union would not be willing to fail. So, just after the n1 rocket was smashed in Baikonur and the Soviet astronaut's dream of landing on the moon failed, the Soviet Union summed up its experience and continued to start the development of a new large rocket.
In 1974, the Soviet Union began the project demonstration work on the Energy rocket. Abandoning those high-flying ideas, they plan to design a modular design based on the Proton rocket, using the same fuel as the Proton, but with a larger and more thrusting rocket than the Proton. In order to develop a new rocket, they even set up a famous energy company. Up to now, eight years have passed, and the Soviet astronauts have finally completed all the design and manufacture of the energy rocket. Today, it is its First flight!
At this time, the energy rocket standing on the launch pad looks so powerful and powerful, it is simply a spectacular sight! This is a blood-smashing masterpiece of violent aesthetics!
Compared with the n1, this rocket is smaller, but the technology is extremely mature. Now, the Soviet astronauts are excitedly in the command center, waiting for the countdown to launch.
The Blizzard rocket, as a powerful launch vehicle, is a milestone in the history of Soviet spaceflight. At the same time, this rocket also has important uses.
Different from the general rocket that puts the load on the top, the load of this rocket is placed on the side, that is, when flying, the load is attached to the side. All of this, of course, is for the space shuttle Blizzard!
The Soviet Union's technological progress on the space station is obvious, and the Americans, after the completion of the moon landing plan, created the space shuttle. As the world's pole, the Soviet Union will certainly not fall behind! The development of the Blizzard space shuttle is in full swing, and at the same time, the supporting energy rocket has also entered the fast lane of research and development! Now, four years earlier than in history, the launch experiment is about to take place!
Even if it is a launch experiment, the high cost of this rocket cannot make it just a flight show. At this time, there is a whole black payload hanging on the side of the rocket.
If you compare it, the load of this whole black body is not large, but it is similar to a booster next to it. However, this is a payload after all and needs to be launched into orbit! That's definitely not small!
The same is true! In the external statement, this is a simulated load with a weight of nearly 100 tons, called Polar!
The personnel responsible for the development of the rocket who were present only knew that this was a simulated payload and did not know its true identity. Only in the corner of the launch site, the serious-looking payload development personnel knew what this big guy was. .
At this time, there are still five hours before the launch, and all the personnel are already in place. This time the launch is of great importance!
"The fuel filling has been completed, and there is no leakage. UU reading "
"Second self-test in progress."
In the hall, the sound is constantly ringing. When the fuel starts to be filled, this launch will enter an irreversible process! You know, the above is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen! At this time, in the huge fuel tank, the temperature is so low that anything can condense!
After the fuel is filled, it is impossible to extract it again, the rocket is about to ignite and take off!
Time passed little by little, and the sky outside became darker and darker. Finally, darkness completely enveloped the earth.
Launch at night! Almost all the spacecraft of the Soviet Union were launched at night. In addition to the issue of the launch window, of course, the more important thing is to avoid being detected by American reconnaissance satellites!
Time continued to pass, and the atmosphere on the launch site became even more tense. Finally, it entered the countdown stage!
Ten minute countdown, five minute countdown, one minute countdown…
"Ten, nine, eight...Three, two, one, fire!"
Finally, the command to ignite came, and with the sound, an operator pressed his hand on the red button on the desktop.
On the launch pad, the huge energy number, with its head held high in the dust of Central Asia, suddenly burst into countless flames below it! In the dark, the flames were so dazzling, 4-type liquid booster rockets and 4-liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engines were ignited at the same time, and the entire launch pad was illuminated by firelight!
In the light of the fire, the 2,400-ton super-giant rocket shuddered and slowly rose! Straight to the sky!
Energy, a rocket full of violent aesthetics, drove the load on the side and began to take off!
