  • Patent number: 11987399
    Abstract: An offshore rocket transport and launch method includes S1: assembling a rocket horizontally; S2: loading the assembled rocket as a whole into a transport cage; S3: transporting, by a transport vehicle, the transport cage loaded with the rocket to a wharf by land horizontal transport; S4: transferring the transport cage loaded with the rocket to a transport ship, and transporting the transport cage loaded with the rocket to an offshore rocket launch pad by sea transport; S5: hoisting, by a hoisting device, the transport cage loaded with the rocket to the rocket launch pad; S6: opening the transport cage, transferring the rocket to a launching position, and hoisting the transport cage away from the rocket launch pad; and S7: launching the rocket. The method effectively facilitates the offshore rocket transport and launch process, and prevents the rocket from being affected by the external environment during the launch process.

  • Patent number: 11732999
    Abstract: An erection device and method for the marine hot launch of a rocket are provided. The erection device includes a launch vessel, a launch pad, an erection assembly, a guide member, a driving cylinder, a sliding member, and a connecting member. The sliding member cooperates with the guide member and is driven by the driving cylinder to move linearly. The connecting member has one end hinged to the erection assembly at a certain angle and the other end connected to the sliding member and is configured to move with the sliding member to drive the erection assembly to be erected on the launch pad. The erection device and method can achieve an effective erection of the rocket for marine hot launch with a desired erection effect and high stability.
