Vol 10 Chapter 184: Houston, we're done!

Time: Sunday, October 7, 2007 at 19:25.

Location: Houston-Lyndon Johnson Space Center, North America, Launch Pad One.

When Tony used the relationship to let him sit on the FSS Space Shuttle One, he waited for the new Minuteman 3 solid carrier rocket that boosted the FSS Space Shuttle One to ignite and take off.

That's right, FSS Space Shuttle 1 needs rocket boosting. After all, the oil leakage problem of its ancestor, the SR71 Blackbird, was so serious that FSS Space Shuttle 1 had such a situation.

NASA had to let the FSS Space Shuttle No. 1 be equipped with the new Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicle, and the new Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicle was transformed from the Minuteman 3 intercontinental missile, which perfectly inherited the characteristics of the solid rocket motor.

The solid rocket motor is composed of grain, combustion chamber, nozzle assembly and ignition device.

The grain is also a hollow cylinder made of propellant and a small amount of additives, the hollow part of which is the combustion surface, and its cross-sectional shape is circular, star-shaped, etc.

The grain is placed in the combustion chamber, which is generally the engine casing.

When the propellant burns, the combustion chamber must withstand a high temperature of 2500 to 3500 degrees and a high pressure of 102 to 2 × 107 bar, so it must be made of high-strength alloy steel, titanium alloy or composite material, and equipped between the grain and the combustion inner wall Insulation lining.

The ignition device is used to ignite the powder column, usually composed of an electric ignition tube and a powder box, filled with black powder or pyrotechnic agent. , after the power is turned on, the black powder is ignited by the electric heating wire, and then the fuel column is ignited by the black powder.

In addition to accelerating the gas expansion to generate thrust, the nozzle is often combined with a thrust vector control system to form a nozzle assembly in order to control the thrust direction. The system can change the gas injection angle, so as to realize the change of the thrust direction.

When the grains are burnt, the engine stops working.

Compared with liquid rocket motors, solid rocket motors have short working hours and large accelerations, which make the thrust difficult to control, and it is difficult to repeatedly start, but it is not conducive to manned flight.

However, the New Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicle solves this problem, but the disadvantage is that the range is short. Under the fully loaded New Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicle, the fuel will be used up when it reaches the stratosphere, and Tony has to find a way to do the rest. Break through the stratosphere to the mesosphere.

The middle layer is from the top of the stratosphere, that is, the range from 55 kilometers to 80 kilometers is named the middle atmosphere, or the middle layer for short.

Here, the temperature drops with altitude and reaches its lowest point at about -90°C around 80 km.

People generally regard an aircraft with a flying altitude of 80-100 kilometers as a spacecraft that does not rely on the atmosphere to fly.

According to NASA regulations, pilots who fly at an altitude of more than 80 kilometers can be called astronauts.

When the three New Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicles under the FSS Space Shuttle 1 made a rumbling noise and successfully ignited and took off, the Houston center responsible for the temporary take-off contact immediately sent out a joyful sound of congratulations.

Tony, who was sitting in the FSS Space Shuttle One, was very excited to see everyone, but he did not forget what the mission was, but for some reason, he could not contact Zhou, and could only contact the Houston Center and Jarvis. connect.

Tony guessed that an instrument such as a call jammer should be installed in the FSS Space Shuttle One, but at this time Tony could not get up and remove the instrument.

Tony, who was bored, had to look at the words on the meter and read out word by word, "The current altitude is 2025 meters, the quantile is normal, the FSS space shuttle 1 fuel, and the rocket are running normally!"

"The current altitude is 5102 meters...normal, the fuel of FSS Space Shuttle 1 is normal!"

"The current height is 8,848 meters, the quantile is abnormal, the FSS Space Shuttle No. 1 fuel is normal, and the rocket is running abnormally!" Tony couldn't help being surprised when the abnormality occurred, and quickly contacted the Houston Center.

But the Houston Center, who heard Tony's words, did not panic at all and said, "Is it only the quantile display is abnormal, or is the rocket running abnormally?"

Tony turned his head to look at the meter, and said, "The NS direction pointer of the quantile display is abnormal, and the NS direction pointer of the foot azimuth meter rotates randomly. The abnormality of the rocket operation is that the remaining time of the rocket flight is garbled."

"Don't be afraid. The reason for the random rotation of the NS pointer is because the magnet behind the azimuth meter was not nailed and fixed, so the magnet was cracked under high pressure, and the remaining time of the rocket flight was garbled. It is estimated that it is a problem with the program algorithm. Tune in when you get back," the Houston Center replied.

Tony: "...".

Tony was speechless for a while, so he had to say to Jarvis, "Jarvis, can I say a word to their family?"

Jarvis advised: "Sorry, sir, considering they have rocket controllers, we'd better not do this."

"Oh, hell!"

...a minute later...

"Houston, now at an altitude of 16,248 meters, the quantile table is completely motionless, the fuel of FSS Space Shuttle One is normal, the remaining time of the rocket's operation is garbled, and the engine temperature is overloaded."

"Houston, now at an altitude of 18,051 meters, breaking through the troposphere, the quantile table does not move, the fuel of FSS Space Shuttle 1 is normal, the remaining time of the rocket's operation becomes zero, and the engine temperature is greatly reduced!"

Just as Tony was reporting to the center of Houston on a daily basis, the middle part of the three New Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicles suddenly caught fire, and a large plume of smoke wafted out.

This matter was quickly discovered by Tony. He immediately wanted to contact the Houston Center, but found that there was already a snowflake on the screen. Tony couldn't help wailing, "Houston, we are finished!"

Having said that, Tony didn't panic at all, and very calmly pressed the separation power button. The FSS Space Shuttle One, which received the command signal, immediately executed the program and separated from the three New Minuteman 3 solid launch vehicles.

After separation, the engine of FSS Space Shuttle 1 quickly turned on and ignited, and suddenly broke through the height of 20,000 meters~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and entered the edge of the height of 30,000 meters.

At this moment, a silver flash flashed in Tony's eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the FSS Space Shuttle One, lying on a grass, Zhou Zheng was making a pot on the other side, and FSS. Space Shuttle One disappeared.

Tony wanted to come, maybe it was Zhou who saved him.

At this time, Zhou Wenwen didn't notice that Tony woke up. He was burning the kettle while inspecting Ren, thinking about what to do with these tasks.
