Chapter eight hundred and fortieth commercial launch

"President Kusai, now we have completed the reverse mapping of the entire Dongfeng-3 missile, are fully exploring the technology, and have begun to imitate the engine," said Dr. Saadi.

Since the progress is reported every week, Kusai has a relatively good grasp of the overall progress. Last week, the engine surveying and mapping had been completed, and the imitation started this week, and the progress was indeed not slow.

"Our imitation must be scientific. Not only do we need to understand the specific data, but we must also understand why this design is done. Only in this way can we improve our own missiles based on a complete grasp of this missile." Kusai said.

"Yes, we are conducting in-depth demonstration of the principle," said Dr. Saadi. "We plan to take half a year to understand the principle thoroughly, and during this period, we successfully ignite the large-thrust engine we imitated. Moreover, when we survey and map, we found that the processing accuracy of these missiles is not as good as us. I believe that the missiles we manufacture must have higher performance than imported ones."

Iraq has advanced processing equipment and is already ahead of the Eastern powers. The processing accuracy of various parts of the rocket will have a great impact on the final product performance. Even the welding slag that comes with one welding point will cause catastrophic damage during flight.

"President Kusai, I have another proposal." Saadi continued.

"Tell me." Kusai said.

"We are now carrying out counter-imitation of the Dongfeng-3 missile, and on this basis, we are developing our own launch vehicle. Therefore, in addition to establishing a launch site next to our current production base, we also need to prepare a landing site, and, more importantly, we also need a complete set of measurement equipment." Saadi continued.

The position of the Dongfeng-3 missile is deployed in the Gusel area in the Hijara Desert, while the Arab Space Company is deployed in the Abugar area in the eastern part of the Hijara Desert. There is a highway here that leads directly to Basra, which can facilitate the transportation of parts after the manufacture of Basra. There is a assembly workshop in the Abugar area, which can be transported several kilometers away for launch after the assembly is completed.

However, if they only introduce the Dongfeng-3 missile from the Eastern powers, they don’t need to test it in normal times, they just need to use it in war or deterrent test it. However, if they develop it themselves and improve it, they may even be converted into a launch vehicle in the future, then the necessary test system must be available, which is also a huge system project. Therefore, Saadi suggested that Iraq needs to prepare from now on.

Kusai remembered that in later generations, North Korea repeatedly claimed to launch artificial satellites. However, after launching, North Korea did not know whether the satellite had entered orbit. It did not know where the satellite had been launched, because North Korea lacked effective monitoring methods, so after launch, the surveillance work was "handed over" to the United States and other countries to buy. The result after the incident was just a joke. Because this so-called satellite did not enter orbit at all.

"We need all kinds of measurement equipment, and we can buy them. I will allocate a dedicated fund to buy the various equipment we need from the West," said Kusai. "For the time being, we can choose the desert area in Saudi Arabia as the landing site. We also need to prepare to buy a measurement ship to monitor our satellite launch."

It is definitely not possible to develop those equipment by yourself. Iraq does not have so many scientific researchers, energy and time. The high-speed cameras and other equipment required for launch can be purchased directly.

Although they are launching satellites and launch vehicles, the work they are doing now is to copy missiles. Moreover, the accuracy of the missiles after being copied and improved still needs to be measured on a special site. Although Saudi Arabia is not far enough, it is barely enough. If you want to launch a further missile in the future, it will definitely be launched at sea, so measuring ships are also necessary.

Saadi also means this. They need to purchase equipment and debug and finally run normally. It also needs to go through a process. These are all things that need to be prepared now.

"This time I'm here, there is another thing to report to you." Saadi said: "The Long March series of rockets of the Eastern powers are ready to be launched on the market and undertake foreign satellite launch business."

Long March Rockets! Kusai suddenly remembered that in later generations, the Long March Rockets of the Eastern powers launched dozens of satellites for other countries and gained a good international reputation.

At that time, it was also in 1985 that the Long March Rockets began to announce the commercial market model for external launch, but there were very few responders. It was not until 1988 that they took over two satellites developed by Hughes for Australia. In 1990, they successfully launched the Long March 2 e-binding rocket, and since then they started.

In other words, the Long March Rockets were very embarrassed in these three years.

Since Saadi has become the head of Iraq's ballistic missile and launch vehicle projects, he has naturally begun to pay attention to various aerospace news at home and abroad. This action of the Eastern power naturally attracted his attention. He felt that it was necessary to report to President Kusai.

The entire aerospace and missile industry of the Eastern power was developed under the leadership of Qian Xuesen. The Long March launch vehicle was also inherited from the Dongfeng ballistic missile. The famous Long March 2 rocket is actually the Dongfeng-5 ballistic missile.

Now, the outside world, especially Western countries, are simply disdainful of the launch vehicles of the Eastern powers. Now, only the European Arian Company, the United States McDonald Douglas Company, General Dynamics Company, and later the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia also began commercial launches. The East is a backward country, launching commercial satellites? If it fails, the loss will be very large.

And for Iraq, this may be a great learning opportunity!

If Iraq is willing to cooperate and use the Long March rocket for satellite launch, then Iraq's technicians will work closely with the personnel of the Eastern powers. The entire design and launch process is participated by Iraqi technicians, which is very beneficial for their growth.

Aerospace engineering is a major project of a country. No country is willing to export this technology, so it can only be a stealing learning. If you choose a European company, then Iraq can access very little. They will have a high-ranking attitude, and cooperation with the East will not be like this. They will definitely receive this first business very sincerely. Iraq has learned more from it than launching a satellite.

In fact, it is not just rockets, but Iraq is definitely a blank in terms of satellites. Now, Iraq's space project has just begun. Apart from its own Dongfeng-3 missile, which has just begun mapping, there are only navigation satellite projects that are ready to cooperate with the Soviet Union, but there are still many variables in that project.

Iraq does not have any satellite development capabilities yet, but Iraq needs satellites, such as Earth Resources Satellites!

Nowadays, satellites have great military value. For example, the United States and the Soviet Union have launched a large number of reconnaissance satellites. Iraq is still completely blank on this. It has a reconnaissance satellite that can observe the situation on the ground and the ocean for a long time. There is no need to worry about diplomatic problems caused by the use of reconnaissance aircraft, so it has great use value.

Of course, except for the Soviet Union and the United States, no one would claim that they were launching spy satellites, so they were renamed Earth Resources Satellites, which were used to scan the earth and find various resources.

Kusai also knew that at this time, the Eastern powers had launched several return remote sensing satellites. The technology of the Eastern powers was enough. Iraq could introduce some more sophisticated equipment from Europe, jointly develop with the Eastern powers, and try to make Iraq's first Earth resource satellite!

With this satellite, it is a great improvement for Iraq to obtain intelligence!

Moreover, Iraq is now rich in financial resources and has enough ability to support its own space projects. If the funds are insufficient, it can also bring Saudi Arabia, a local rich man.

In addition to reconnaissance satellites, there is another one, communication satellites. Whether in peacetime or wartime, geosimultaneous communication satellites have always been a very important communication method. For example, when your fleet communicates with the base far away from the base, if there is no satellite communication, you can only use a long-wave radio station. Long-waves can travel around the earth without being affected by the curvature of the earth. However, the bandwidth is too narrow, and a telegram of dozens of words will take half an hour to transmit and receive.

Although Iraq has sufficient funds and conducts two researches at the same time, it still cannot support it. In addition to Iraq, there is also an organization with close ties to Kusai, which requires communication satellites.

Ousheng Electronics Company! This miraculously rising company that has developed into a large electronics company that has crossed has sufficient funds to invest in various projects. Relying on the large profits gained in the communications industry, it is making breakthroughs in the personal computer business.

Starting with Walkman and achieving leapfrog development through mobile communications. If Ousheng Electronics wants to continue to climb to the top in the communications industry, it also needs communication satellites. Therefore, it is definitely a very wise choice to allow Ousheng to invest in the development of geosystic satellites and obtain the most advanced satellite technology in Europe.

After the Ousheng satellite is successfully launched, Iraq can temporarily rent some of the channels. When Iraq recovers, it can launch its own communications satellite, or directly buy Ousheng satellite.
