Chapter 544: All that one could wish for

Sky eye type X1 meteorological observation satellite. As the name implies, it will be used in meteorological observation, disaster warning, and other related fields. But because the satellite uses a large array of detectors, large reflective telescope system, adaptive optical imaging technology, and real-time image transmission technology, the two meters diameter camera located at the near-earth side of the satellite allowed for an observation resolution of up to 0.1 m.

Military remote sensing satellites and civilian remote sensing satellites are similar in principle with the main differences reflected in the spectrum and the ground resolution requirements. Military remote sensing satellites mainly form its image in the visible or near infrared spectral with resolution better than 1 meter.

And the sky eye X1 weather observation satellite no doubt had reached the level of military satellites. Normally speaking, the observers from the United Nations would ask to verify whether the satellite was consistent with the declaration of the project, but because these people simply didn't believe that Xin could launch it successfully, so no mentioned the verification.

Of course, even if they brought it up, Jiang Chen could refuse. But then, F would use this opportunity to launch a controversy around this such as Xin launched a military satellite with indescribable purpose.

Henry stared at the smoke trial gradually fading in the air before he finally closed his mouth.

”Did it really succeed?”

He obviously heard the cheers just then, but he didn't want to accept this unbelievable fact.

[No need for a third stage launch vehicle? Was the satellite sent directly into orbit with a second stage launch vehicle? It was not impossible from a technical perspective, but did they consider the cost? The additional payload would require more fuel… Wait, their rocket size was not big either with the total length being 33 meters. This is absolutely unbelievable!]

But no one bothered with him. Jiang Chen headed outside to take interviews from the media while Calvin commanded the workers to open the solar panels, check the working status of the satellite, and collect firsthand weather information.

”Xin's weather report could be completed with Xin's own meteorological satellite. I would like to express my gratitude to Atria's ES for past weather reports, thank you.”

Jiang Chen was used to being surrounded by cameras.

”Hello Mr, Jiang Chen, what inspired you to invest in aerospace?”

”Interest and potential.” Jiang Chen pointed up with one finger at the place the rocket just flew by and smiled in front of the camera, ”The future of humanity is there.”

If a typical person said this, that person would be mocked for showing off. But because the words came from a technology tycoon, it would be remembered as a famous quote.

When Jiang Chen was being interviewed, he was thinking in his head. If one day, Celestial Trade really completed the blueprint in his heart where human activity expanded to beyond earth, and then to the synchronous orbit, the moon, and even Mars, and outside of the solar system, would people mark today as the start of everything?

Would the posture of him pointing to the sky and saying ”humanity's future is there” become a statue and collected to become a part of the earth civilization museum.

After the interview and sending away the observers from Nouveau York, Jiang Chen didn't immediately leave the island, but rather he went to look for Calvin who just finished the launch mission. Just in this short period of time, the scientists opened the prepared champagne and started a party in the cafeteria of the Aerospace Technology Center.

The bubbles of the champagne fizzed everyone, although it was not a holiday, the atmosphere was better than a holiday.

When Calvin saw Jiang Chen, his eyes lit up, and he immediately went to greet Jiang Chen with two bottles of champagne.

”Haha, boss, you need to drink a bottle before leaving.”

”Yes, yes! This is our first rocket! Did you notice that observer's expressions? Haha, he looked like he just ate a fly.”

”This feels so good, hahaha!”
