Umqondo wokusebenzisa izibuko zasemkhathini zokukhanyisa ebusuku ibuyele ekukhanyeni ngohlelo lwayo lwe-Reflect Orbital, isiphakamiso esithembisa ukukhanya kwelanga okuqondiswe kabusha ngemva kokushona kwelanga kwamandla, izinsiza zasemadolobheni, nezimo eziphuthumayo. Lesi siphakamiso sihlaba umxhwele njengoba sinempikiswano, futhi sesivele sanqwabelana ukwesekwa nokugxeka ngezingxenye ezilinganayo.
Ngale komphumela "wow" yezobuchwepheshe, impikiswano igxile ekusebenzeni kwayo kwangempela kanye nemiphumela engaba khona esibhakabhakeni esimnyama, izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nesayensi yezinkanyezi yobungcweti. Ngenkathi inkampani ithi ukukhanya kuzoba kafushane, kuyabikezelwa futhi kuyakhethwa, ososayensi nezinhlangano zezokongiwa kwemvelo bakhuthaza ukuqapha.
Amasathelayithi esibuko: lokho okuhlongozwayo yi-Reflect Orbital
I-Reflect Orbital icele imvume ku- FCC ukwethula isathelayithi yayo yokuqala yokuhlola, I-EARENDIL-1, okungahlanganisa isibuko esigoqayo esingamamitha angu-18 ohlangothini ngalunye futhi lapho inkampani ibeka khona Ephreli 2026I-mission izosebenza endaweni 625 km ukuphakama futhi emzileni ohambisanayo neLanga, ogcina isathelayithi ikhanya unomphela njengoba inqamula umugqa wobusuku bobusuku.
Uhlelo lwesikhathi esimaphakathi luhlanganisa umlaza wokufika ku Iziphuphutheki ezingama-4.000 ngo-2030, ngemiklamo yesibuko esukela kumamitha ayi-10x10 kuya kumamitha angama-54x54. Ngokusho kwenkampani, ukukhanya kuzoqondiswa izindawo ezithile zamakhilomitha amaningana ngezikhawu ezikhawulelwe ngaphambi kokuchezukisa i-beam ukuze ugweme ukukhanyisa ngaphandle kokuhlosiwe.
Ngo-2024 inkampani yathola inkontileka Ama-dollar ayi-1,25 yohlelo lwe-SBIR ye-U.S. Air Force. Inkampani ikhuluma ngezicelo ezinjengokwelula isizukulwane ku ebusuku amapulazi photovoltaic, usizo lwezinhlekelele nokusetshenziswa emadolobheni, kanye nezimangalo zokuthi bathole amakhulu ezinkulungwane izinkulumo zokuthakasela ngaphambi kokundiza nombonisi wayo.
Zinganikeza ukukhanya okungakanani? Izibalo kanye nemikhawulo ngokomzimba
Ngaphezu kwalokho, cishe ku-625 km ukuphakama isathelayithi isondela eduze kwayo I-7,5 km / h, ngakho-ke izohlala ihambisana nomasipala nje Imizuzu ye-3,5Ukugcina ukukhanya okungaguquki kungadinga ukuhlela amaqembu amakhulu adlulayo ngokulandelana, ngobunkimbinkimbi bokusebenza.
Umsunguli ngokwakhe, uBen Nowack, waze waphakamisa ukuthi kungase kufinyelele Iziphuphutheki ezingama-250.000 ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezinhloso zezentengiselwano, isibalo esingadlula inani eliphelele lamasathelayithi afakwe kukhathalogi nezingcezu zemfucumfucu yasemkhathini. Lokhu kuhleleka kobukhulu kwandisa ukungabaza mayelana izindleko, ukushayisana kanye nokuphathwa kwethrafikhi i-orbital.
Ochwepheshe abaningana banezela ukuthi ukuphindaphinda okuthile okuseduze nokukhanya kwasemini, kuyodingeka indawo engaphezulu, okuthi, kusuka phansi, ibe usayizi obonakalayo oqhathanisekayo kuleyo yeLanga, ibha engokwenyama nezomnotho okunzima kakhulu ukuyinqoba ngezibuko ezikala amashumi amamitha.
Umthelela wemvelo kanye nesayensi yezinkanyezi
Izinhlangano zemvelo zixwayisa ngokuthi izibani zokwenziwa ebusuku zingakwazi shintsha isigqi sebhayoloji wezinyoni, izinambuzane nezilwane ezincelisayo. Njengoba i-BugLife ikhomba, ukuphazamiseka komjikelezo wobusuku nobusuku kushintsha ukuziphatha okubalulekile futhi, eYurophu, kungase kuthinte amaphasishi afudukayo nezindawo ezivikelekile ezincike Isibhakabhaka esimnyama.
Abacwaningi baphinde baxwayise ngokuthi kungenzeka ukuphazamiseka komsakazo yezinkanyezi ezinkulu, inkinga esivele ibonwe ngokunye ukuthunyelwa. Umphakathi unovalo ngokuwohloka kwezinga lesibhakabhaka ebusuku, kuze kube “kubi kakhulu” ezinhlelweni ezithile zokubukela uma umlaza uzokhula ngezinga elikhulu.
I-Reflect Orbital izimangalo zokuthi ukukhanya kwayo kuzoqondiswa kabusha ngendlela kafushane, kuyabikezelwa futhi kuyakhethwa, ukwabelana ngezinsuku zesikhumbuzo nokugwema izindawo zokubuka lapho kudingeka. Nokho, izazi zezinkanyezi ziyaphikisana nokuthi ziyohlale zikhona ukuhlakazeka okulula ngaphandle kwephuzu lokuthakaselayo nokuthi inani eliphelele lezinto eziku-orbit lingenza kube nzima ukunciphisa.
Ngokwengqikithi yaseYurophu, ukukhathazeka kufinyelela ezikhungweni zokubhekisela ezifana nezindawo zokubuka izinto ze I-Canary Islands nezinye izinsiza yezwekazi, lapho noma yikuphi ukwanda kwama-flare okwenziwa kunganciphisa iwindi eliwusizo lesayensi yesibhakabhaka esimnyama nokufinyelela.
Isendlalelo kanye nezithiyo zokulawula
Umqondo awumusha: iRussia isivele yawuhlola ngo-1993 Izwe 2, isibonisi esingamamitha angaba ngu-25 esiveze indawo yokukhanya yamakhilomitha ambalwa ngaphambi kokungena kabusha Canada ezinsukwini kamuva. I-United States kanye ne-European Space Agency bahlole imibono efanayo, kodwa ayizange isebenze kwezohwebo.
Izizathu ziyaphindwa: ukuba nokwenzeka okulinganiselwe kwezobuchwepheshe, izindleko eziphakeme kakhulu kanye nezinzuzo ezingabazekayo uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izindlela ezisekelwe kumhlaba. Okungeziwe kulokhu ukuxhumana kwamazwe ngamazwe okudingekayo ukuze kuncishiswe izingozi zokushayisana kanye nokucutshungulwa Ukungcola okulula.
Noma ngabe i-EARENDIL-1 iqala phansi, ukukala kufikela ezinkulungwaneni (noma amashumi ezinkulungwane) zamayunithi kuzodinga uxhaso olukhulu, izimboni ezisebenziseka ngokushesha, izimvume emazweni amaningi, kanye nokuphathwa kwe-orbital okuhle kakhulu. Ngokufanayo, abalawuli kanye nemiphakathi yesayensi e-U.S. naseYurophu bazobe bebhekisisa le phrojekthi. umthelela kwezemvelo nesayensi ngaphambi kokugunyaza ukuthunyelwa okukhulu.
Kodwa-ke, ingxoxo isivele ivuliwe: phakathi kwamathuba okunweba ukukhiqizwa okuvuselelekayo kanye nezixwayiso mayelana ne kwesokudla esibhakabhakeni esimnyama ebusuku, ohulumeni kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi kuzodingeka bacabangele ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe bungena kanjani futhi kanjani ezintweni ezibalulekile zamandla nezemvelo emashumini eminyaka ezayo.
