Because the rockets in the warehouse were used, the launch plan of Iridium's two "Iridium" backup satellites was quickly arranged and finalized.

The time is on the first day of December, and if there are no accidents, this will be the last rocket launch mission of the Rocket Research Institute this year.

The rocket used is the Changsanyi rocket that just had an accident at the beginning of this year.

Because of the possible problems in the rocket.

Zhang Xingyang still asked Chang Sanyi to conduct a rocket test before launching the two "Iridium" satellites to ensure that there were no problems during the whole process.

After all, the failure of the last Changsanyi launch was largely due to the fact that it did not go through a formal test launch before the launch.

So if you don't want such a heavy space accident to happen again, it is necessary to conduct a test launch.

Although this will cost a lot of money, the current funding problem of the research institute is not as tight as it was at the beginning of the year.

The monthly steady stream of profits from Factory 703 alone is enough for the basic monthly expenses of the research institute, plus the profits from the rocket launch missions that were previously taken over from Satcom.

Although the Rocket Research Institute is not utterly rich, it is no longer in debt like it was at the beginning of the year.

Supported by these funds, Zhang Xingyang dared to spend such a large amount of money to promote various projects.

Otherwise, even Zhang Xingyang would not dare to jump into the project of recovering rockets in such a hurry.

The Changsan B rocket itself does not have any particularly advanced technology. It is just an improvement of the Changsan rocket used by bundling boosters. Most of the engineering technology is not particularly advanced.

However, the previous failure also shows that the entire rocket, from manufacturing to testing to launch, has certain problems.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xingyang vigorously promoted the double-return-to-zero management system in the various systems of the entire Rocket Research Institute.

It is very unreliable to rely on the self-consciousness of personnel to conduct quality supervision, and a complete set of sound systems must be used to supervise everyone.

Eliminate all the problems of the rocket up and down on the ground, and strive for 100% launch safety!

In fact, it is also relying on this double-return-to-zero management system in China to be able to maintain a rocket launch record of zero failures in the following decades.

Xichang in early November is still as warm as spring, and has not basically entered the cold winter like the northern land.

Zhang Xingyang was wearing a white uniform. Although the uniform was loose, his figure was still tall and straight.

Standing in front of the launch site, Zhang Xingyang, who was like a cedar, looked at the Chang Sanyi rocket standing quietly on the launch pad with his hands behind his back.

It has been a year since time travel to this era.

At that time, it was also the eve of the launch of the Changsanyi rocket, but at that time, I had no way to persuade everyone to remove the rocket that was already standing on the launch pad.

After all, at that time, it was only a few minutes before the rocket was launched and then exploded.

At that moment, Zhang Xingyang didn't even have time to tell everyone about the consequences of the rocket launch. He could only watch helplessly as the rocket slanted into the hill next to the launch site, creating an incomparably huge mushroom cloud.

Recalling what happened when he first came to this world, Zhang Xingyang focused his attention on the rocket in front of him.

The engineers at the launch base are busy filling the rocket's fuel into each fuel storage tank of the rocket.

Standing hundreds of meters away, the tall rocket in the distance looks like a towering skyscraper, and it looks like a magic arrow that is about to shoot into the sun, waiting for it to show its power.

The Changsanyi rocket launched this time has gone through several complicated inspection procedures before, especially the attitude control system that is most prone to problems. Zhang Xingyang personally took the lead in conducting three inspections before he was relieved.

Although the test launch of the Changsanyi rocket did not carry any real satellites as payloads.

However, two simulated loads were still carried to carry out a launch experiment with one arrow and two stars.

The simulated payload only has the most basic functions. After the test, the control center will control the two simulated satellites to crash into Nemo Point in the Pacific Ocean.

"Brother Xingyang, everyone is waiting for you!"

"Why are you here!"

Su Xiao, who was out of breath, ran from a distance, and seemed to have been looking for Zhang Xingyang for a long time.

Her cheeks were apple-colored due to the strenuous exercise.

Zhang Xingyang turned around and said to Su Xiao who was tired out of breath:

"Come out for a walk and change your mood."

"Since everyone is waiting for me, let's go back."

But Zhang Xingyang looked at Su Xiao who was still panting, a little worried about her body:

"Would you like to take it easy?"

Su Xiao shook his head, took another deep breath and said:

"I'm fine, let's go back first."

The two walked side by side to the control center of the launch base.

Since the last Changsanyi rocket launch accident, the launch base lost several buildings and caused heavy casualties.

The launch base located the new control center farther away from the launch site.

On the one hand, it is to protect the property of the launch base, and on the other hand, it is also to protect these hard-won aerospace talents in China.

The new control center is several kilometers away from the launch site, so Su Xiao and the others drove here to find Zhang Xingyang.

Leaving the launch site by car, Zhang Xingyang asked Qin Ming who was driving:

"How are you all getting ready?"

"With the experience of the last successful launch, everyone is more confident this time. Since the implementation of the double return to zero management system, everyone has improved many technical and management loopholes in the previous work."

"Brother Xingyang, you can rest assured."

"This launch, unless a meteorite suddenly appears and smashes the rocket down, it is impossible to fail!"

Qin Ming, who was driving, confidently replied to Zhang Xingyang without looking back.

But even if there are meteorites, it is actually very difficult to hurt the rocket.

After all, the dozens of ground monitoring stations and sea observation ships involved in the control center are not just for nothing. If there are really meteorites, they will be able to find them immediately.

When he came to the control center, Zhang Xingyang gave a brief speech, telling everyone to be serious in the next work.

It was put into the preparations before launch.

Although this Changsanyi rocket launch is only an experimental launch mission, everyone is still preparing according to the entire process of the actual launch.

With the fuel filling of the rocket completed, the engineer responsible for the final inspection of the rocket left the range of the rocket launch.

The Changsanyi rocket, since its launch failure in February, finally ushered in another launch!
