Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa zokuhlolwa okuqinile kanye nochungechunge lwezithiyo, I-SpaceX isiqede indiza yokuhlola yeshumi ye-Starship ngokuchaphazeka oLwandlekazini i-Indian, isinyathelo esiqinisa inqubekelaphambili yohlelo ekusetshenzisweni kabusha okuphelele kohlelo lwalo lokwethulwa.
I-mega-rocket, eyakhiwe nge-propellant Kunzima kakhulu kanye neNkanyezi, ifuna ukunciphisa izindleko futhi inyuse izinga lemishini; inhloso yesikhathi esimaphakathi ukusebenzela zombili Ukuhlola kwenyanga kweNASA kanye nohambo lwesikhathi esizayo lwangaphakathi kwamaplanethi, kuyilapho kuthuthukiswa ifilosofi yesiginesha yenkampani yokuphindaphinda ngokushesha.
Ukulandelana kwesikhathi kokusuka nokufika
Cishe imizuzu eyisikhombisa ibhanoyi liqalile ukuhlasela kwaqinisekiswa. ukwehlukana okuzisholo phakathi kwe-Super Heavy kanye nomkhumbi; i-booster yaqala ukwehla okulawulwayo ngase IGulf of mexico, njengoba kuhlelwe umgomo, ngaphandle kokuthi inkampani ichaze ngokushesha isimo sayo sokugcina.
Isiteji esiphezulu saqhubeka nomgudu waso, saqeda iphrofayili yaso engaphansi futhi, cishe imizuzu engama-45 ngemuva kokusuka, saqala ukungena kabusha olwandle i-Indian ngesivinini. subsonic, ifinyelela umvuthwandaba ngokuhlala okuzinzile engxenyeni emisiwe yolwandle.
Isikhathi esiphelele sokuhlolwa sithathe isikhathi esingaphezudlwana kwehora, nge amaphuzu abalulekile efake izimpawu zokusakaza bukhoma; ngaphakathi kwe-SpaceX, izigigaba ezibalulekile zagujwa njengoba izindawo zemephu yomgwaqo zathintwa.
Izinjongo zokuhlola kanye nezinyathelo ezibalulekile zobuchwepheshe
Ngaphezu kokulandelana kokuphromotha nokuhlukaniswa, inkampani yabulawa izindatshana ezimbili ezibucayi obekukade kwaphikiswa emikhankasweni yangaphambilini: ukuthunyelwa kwezindleko ze-dummy ngesango eliseceleni kanye ne ukuqala kabusha injini emkhathini ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukusebenza kwekusasa.
I-SpaceX ihlole ukuvula umnyango wezimpahla futhi yakhipha izifanisi zesathelayithi ezimbalwa, isinyathelo esihloselwe ukukhombisa amandla isevisi ye-orbital yomkhumbi esimweni sokusebenza esingokoqobo.
Ukushiswa kabusha kwe-microgravity, obekufinyelelwe kuphela ngokugcina isikhathi esikhathini esedlule, kwaqedwa futhi, kwazihlanganisa njengoba imfuneko ebalulekile ukuze uthole ukulungiswa okunembe kakhudlwana kwe-trajectory, ama-deorbits, namaphrofayela okubuyisela.
Umkhumbi undize ngamabomu nenani elincishisiwe le amathayili ashisayo ukuhlola izindawo ezizwelayo zesihlangu ngesikhathi sokungena kabusha; naphezu kokulimala okubonakalayo kwe-skirt, ubuqotho bayo jikelele buvumela ukuqhuma njengoba kuhleliwe.
Ngokuhambisanayo, ithimba lafaka uphephela ekuqondiseni ukwehla ngenkani ngombono wokuqoqa idatha ngaphansi kwezimo ezimbi kakhulu, ulwazi oluzophakela amamodeli edizayini ezinguqulo ezizayo zohlelo.
Izifundo ezivela ku-Flight 9 kanye nezinguquko ezigunyazwe yi-FAA
Inkampani ifike kuleli cala ngemuva kophenyo Isigameko se-Flight 9, okwenzeka ngoMeyi 27, lapho ukuvuza ohlelweni lokucindezela kuphazamisa ukulawulwa kwesimo sengqondo futhi kwabangela ukulahlekelwa umkhumbi ngesikhathi ungena kabusha phezu koLwandlekazi i-Indian.
Ukuphendula, i-SpaceX iyasebenza ukulungiswa kwe-pressurization nasezingxenyeni ezifana ne-fuel diffuser, ngaphezu kokuqinisa izivumelwano zokuhlola nokuqinisekisa, ngenhloso yokubhekana nezimbangela ezitholwe ekuhlaziyeni kwangaphakathi.
La I-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ivale uphenyo lwayo ngaphandle kwemibiko yokulimala kwabantu noma impahla yomphakathi futhi yagunyaza umzamo omusha, ngokuhambisana negunya layo lokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukusebenza akubangeli ubungozi obungadingekile ngaphandle komjikelezo wokuhlola.
Maduze, i-SpaceX ibona kusengaphambili izindiza ezimbili ezengeziwe ngesizukulwane samanje sokwandisa ububanzi bamakhono ngaphambi kokwenza ukugxumela enguqulweni enekhono kakhulu; le migomo ihambisana nezikhathi ze u-Arthemisi, lapho i-Starship ibizwa khona ukuthi isebenze njengemojula yokufika kwenyanga.
Phakathi kokuhlehliswa nokuhlehliswa, uhlelo luyakhula futhi isiqala ukuhlanganisa izinjongo ezisisondeza ekusetshenzisweni kabusha ngokugcwele; kusenendlela ende okufanele ihanjwe, kodwa idatha yanamuhla iqinisa umgwaqo we-SpaceX wemikhankaso yesikhathi esizayo.
