出品 | 搜狐科技 从曝光的视频看,要回收的火箭一级箭体并非正常姿态下落,反而是斜着加速向下冲,和我们平时看到 的火箭回收场景差了不少。也正因此,网上普遍猜测问题出在了反推发动机上,空中点火和姿态控制完 成得不太理想。 振奋人心的是,发射任务结束后,网友们更多的声音并不认为这是一次失败,而是中国航天迈出的重要 一步。 从体态来看,身为重型火的箭朱雀三号对标的正是马斯克SpaceX的猎鹰火箭。要知道,猎鹰火箭从试 想到最终完成箭体回收,用了足足两年的时间,期间经历多次爆炸失败,才慢慢摸透回收的门道。 而朱雀三号这是第一次真正搞轨道级回收,很多技术都是首次实战检验,缺少足够飞行数据支撑。 不过话说回来,不能因为"回收失败"四个字就否定这次任务价值。这次试飞已然成了宝贵的"错题本", 接下来要做的就是吸取经验,改进方案,不断试错。 今天最牵动不明的大事件莫过于刚刚结束的朱雀三号火箭发射任务。 朱雀三号是我国蓝箭航天自主研制的新一代低成本、大运力、可重复使用的运载火箭。最具亮点的是, 该火箭一级装有反作用控制系统,可在完成轨道发射后实施垂直返回回收与再利用。 没错,和马斯克SpaceX上演的火箭回收表演如出一辙。 如 ...
