Title:
The rocket dream has come true!Hyperbola No. 1, our "doorstep" is in the sky!
The aerospace dream in the new era has always been a piece of blue in the hearts of the Chinese people. When we hear the news of the "Hyperbola-1" commercial launch vehicle taking off again, perhaps you will be instantly attracted by this seemingly ordinary news. However, the hidden story, the adventures and challenges behind it, are really exciting.
First, let's trace the origin of this star. This rocket was designed and developed by Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Science and Technology, and was named "Hyperbola No. 1". Petite in stature, only 20 in length8 meters, with a take-off weight of 31 tons, it is the first private rocket in the real sense of the word in China, and it is also the first successful private rocket outside the United States. Behind this humble name, it is a symbol of the persistence and efforts of China's private aerospace companies.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. During a launch on August 3, 2021, the fairing did not detach properly, resulting in flight tests that did not achieve their intended purpose. This setback may be disappointing, but it is worth pondering. What caused this failure?Is it a technical bottleneck, or is it a management problem?These questions, like stars in the dark, light up the way forward.
However, the spirit of a soldier is to bloom in adversity. The latest launch took place on December 17, 2023, and the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center once again witnessed the flight moment of "Hyperbola-1". The mission was declared a complete success, and this was the rocket's sixth flight. A satellite named "Dier-1" was also launched this time and was successfully put into the scheduled orbit.
This news may be a glimpse in your field of vision, but let's stop and think deeply. The ups and downs of this "hyperbola-1" rocket reflect the growth process of China's private aerospace companies. Every success and failure is a refinement, and it is the continuous iteration and breakthrough of technology.
From a technical point of view, this compact rocket has its own uniqueness in terms of rocket body parameters, vertical thermal launch methods, etc. From a management perspective, setbacks did not discourage the team, on the contrary, they burst out of the failures to become stronger. The failure of 2021 was a stone in the way forward, not a stumbling block.
Finally, let's look back at this era, and the rise of China's private aerospace companies on the international stage is remarkable. This is not only the launch of rockets again and again, but also the brave exploration of the unknown territory of the Chinese people. Every success is a manifestation of national prestige, and every failure is an accumulation of experience.
In general, the "Hyperbola-1" rocket is a shining pearl of China's private aerospace companies. Although it has experienced wind and rain, it is now like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with the light of courage and perseverance. In the future, we have reason to believe that China's private aerospace companies will write their own legends in this boundless universe.
