"Flying to Space Port" mainly records the story that xichang satellite launch center of China successfully launched a foreign satellite, the American "Asia One", with cz-3. The whole work has a tight rhythm and a certain degree of relaxation. It completely reproduces the whole process of successfully launching a foreign satellite for the first time with panoramic words, and shows the wisdom and determination of the Chinese nation to forge ahead and constantly overcome difficulties. It also shows the broad mind of human beings to explore the universe and look forward to the future with the vision and boldness of vision of the earth people.

Xichang has a low latitude, close to the equator, and its geographical position is very superior, which can improve the carrying capacity of rockets and is conducive to launching rockets. Xichang, located in the south of Sichuan, is inaccessible and avoids big cities. From 1984 to 65438+1October 29th to March 1990, six satellites have been launched here. 1986 is open to the outside world. The launch base was destroyed, but all the soldiers quickly resumed the preparations for satellite launch with tenacious perseverance. Rocket experts from all over the country have devoted their lives to China's space industry. Most of them spent five Spring Festival holidays in this ravine, and four of them have died.

At the beginning of 1984, the satellites purchased by China needed to be launched by American and French rockets. In the same year, China's Long March III carrier rocket sent China's first synchronous communication satellite into space.

Shangguan Shipan thinks that China rocket has the conditions to enter the international market, and the deputy general manager of Great Wall Industry Company wrote a letter of recommendation to the vice minister of space, which received strong support from the leaders. .

The international air show was held in Paris. Wu Keli, head of the China delegation, walked into a Chinese restaurant one evening and was warmly received. Many overseas Chinese are very proud to see China rocket go global. China announced that the Long March II and Long March III launch vehicles will be put into the international market.

Through the continuous efforts of the delegation, we finally signed an agreement with Western Union Satellite Company of the United States to launch "Western Union VI".

However, due to the bankruptcy of Western Union Bank, the agreement was interrupted. Trey Satellite Company also signed an agreement and finally failed to escape the fate of bankruptcy. However, the satellite delegation never gave up and finally signed an agreement with Asia to launch the "Asia-1" satellite in 1988.

China, the country that invented the world's first rocket as early as 1000 years ago, finally sent China's first artificial satellite "Dongfanghong-1" into space on April 24th 1970.

After many years, China's space technology has been continuously improved, and finally it has the ability to enter the international market.

Launching a foreign satellite is the only way for China to further promote "sky technology".
