- IStarship ibhekene nokunye ukwehluleka kwethulwa okwesishiyagalolunye: yehlulekile ukuqedela iphrofayili yayo yemishini.
- I-Super Heavy booster iphinde yasetshenziswa okokuqala ngqa, kodwa yagcina iqhume lapho izama ukuhlala emanzini.
- Isikebhe sehlulekile ukuhambisa umthwalo walo futhi sahluleka ukuwulawula ngaphambi kokungena kabusha, saphuka phezu koLwandlekazi i-Indian.
- I-SpaceX kanye ne-FAA zigunyaze ukuthuthukiswa nokuhlola okuzayo ngemva kokuqoqa idatha kulo mzamo omusha ohlulekile.
El Umzamo wokwethulwa kwe-SpaceX wesishiyagalolunye we-Starship Kuye kwenziwa nge umphumela omuhle ngoMeyi 27, 2025, naphezu kwentuthuko nokulindelwe okwenziwe ngemva kokuhluleka kwangaphambilini. Lokhu kuhlolwa kube ukhiye kumephu womgwaqo wenkampani wokwenza imisebenzi yabantu eya eNyangeni naseMars, isebenze ukusebenzisa izixazululo ezintsha zobuchwepheshe kanye gqamisa izinselelo ezisekhona kwenye yezinhlelo zokwethula ezifisa kakhulu.
Ukuhamba kwenziwa kusukela I-Starbase, eTexas, isisekelo esiyinhloko se-SpaceX. Ngo-19:37 ngesikhathi sendawo, Irokhethi yethulwa amandla yiSuper Heavy B14 booster, ephinde yasetshenziswa ngemuva kwendiza yayo ngoJanuwari. Ukusakazwa okusemthethweni bekuqaphile, njengoba ukwethulwa okubili kokugcina kugcine ngokuqhuma.
Inhloso: izinto ezintsha nezilindelweyo
Iphrofayili yale mishini (injongo ongayibona kuvidiyo engenhla) yayiyiyo kufana kakhulu nokuhlolwa kwangaphambilini, nakuba yayihlanganisa Izindaba mayelana ne-Starship S35 kanye nesistimu yayo yokusakaza. I-Super Heavy isebenzise izinjini zayo ezingama-29 kwezingama-33 ezisebenziseka kabusha futhi ibe nokuthuthuka kwesivikelo sayo sokushisa.
Ngokungafani nokwethulwa kwangaphambilini, isigaba sokuqala besingeke sitholwe yizingalo ze-Mechazilla, kodwa sizoqondiswa Ukufika okulawulwayo eGulf of Mexico ukuhlola ukuziphatha kwayo ekwehleni okunolaka kanye nokujika kokuhlola ngemva kokuhlukana.
La Umkhumbi ophezulu we-Starship S35 wawunenhloso yawo enkulu yokufeza i-quasi-orbital trajectory., sebenzisa izifanisi zesathelayithi eziyisishiyagalombili ze-Starlink v3 kanye hlola ukuvutha kabusha kwe-in-obhithi yenjini ye-Raptor. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izingxenye zesivikelo sokushisa zishintshiwe noma zasuswa ukuze kuhlolwe amandla aso esakhiwo phakathi nokuphinda kufakwe, kusetshenziswa amathayela okuhlola nezixazululo ezintsha zokupholisa.
Ukuthuthukiswa kokuhlolwa nesikhathi sokuhluleka
El Ukukhishwa kwenhlanganisela ye-Starship-Super Heavy bekungenasici, ukufeza ukuhlukaniswa okushisayo kwezigaba, isici esibucayi ngemva kwezigameko ezedlule. Bekugxilwe esigabeni sokukhuphuka kanye nokusatshalaliswa kokukhokhelwa komkhumbi. Nokho, kwavela izinkinga: Umnyango wezimpahla zenkanyezi uhlulekile ukuvuleka, ukuvimbela ukuthunyelwa kwamasathelayithi alingisa.
Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, kwatholakala i-a ukwehluleka ekulawuleni isimo sengqondo somkhumbi, okuphoqe ukweqiwa kokuvutha kabusha kwenjini, okubalulekile ekungeneni kabusha okulawulwayo. I-craft yaqala ukuphuma ekulawuleni futhi, ngemva kokulahlekelwa ingcindezi ethangini elikhulu ngesikhathi sokungena kabusha, Ukusakaza kuphazanyiswe cishe imizuzu engama-46 ngemva kokwethulwa. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, Imoto yahlakazeka phezu kolwandle i-Indian Ocean, ngaphandle komthelela ngaphandle kwendawo ephephile ehleliwe.
Ngokwakhe, i- I-Super Heavy B14 propellant izamile ukubuya kwayo kumodi yokuhlola, inyakaza nge-engeli ephezulu yokuhlasela ukuze inciphise isivinini sayo ngaphambi kokuhlala. Nakuba iqede ukuthuthwa kwezinjini zayo okwakuhleliwe, ukuxhumana kwalahleka emizuzwaneni embalwa kamuva, okubangele ukuqhuma olwandle ngemva kokuqaliswa kwezinhlelo zokuphepha ezizenzakalelayo.
Izifundo ezifundiwe kanye nezinyathelo ezithathiwe
I-SpaceX isiqalile ukusebenza ukuthuthukiswa kwezinjini ze-Raptor, okuhlanganisa ukulayishwa kuqala emajoyintini ayinhloko, imigqa emisha yokuhlanza i-nitrogen, nokulungiselelwa kahle ohlelweni lokudonsa amanzi aphehlayo. Inkampani ibheka lokho ukwehluleka kwenye yezinjini ezimaphakathi, okwabangela ukuqhuma ngoMashi, inomsuka ohlukile kunesigameko sangoJanuwari, lapho ukundindizela okweqile kubangele umlilo. Uphenyo luholele ekubuyekezweni nasekuguqulweni kwezinqubo ezibalulekile kanye nezingxenye.
Ngokufanayo, I-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) igunyaze indiza ngemva kokuqondisa ukuthuthukiswa futhi yanweba izindawo zokungandiza nezingandiza ukuze kuncishiswe izingozi. Phakathi nalokhu mzamo, lezi zindawo kuthinte imizila eminingana yokuhweba, okudinga ukusebenzelana okuqinile neziphathimandla zamazwe ngamazwe, osekubangele ukuphazamiseka kwezindiza zezakhamuzi esikhathini esidlule.
Esinye isifundo esibalulekile ukuthi isu lokusebenzisa kabusha ingxenye uhlala ukhiye. Nakuba ingatholakalanga nge-Mechazilla kule ndiza, isithuthukisi esisetshenziswe kabusha sinikeze ulwazi olubalulekile mayelana nokuphila kwengxenye ngemva kokusetshenziswa okuningi kanye nokuziphatha kwesivikelo sokushisa ngaphansi kwezimo zokungena kabusha.
Umthelela ezinhlelweni ze-SpaceX kanye nemishini yesikhathi esizayo
I-Starship iphakathi kwezinhlelo ze-SpaceX ohambweni oluyimfihlo nolwentengiso, kanye nokulindelwe yi-NASA kokubuyela eNyangeni (Artemis 3) kanye nokuhlolwa kwe-Mars. I-ejensi kudinga okungenani ukufika kwenyanga okukodwa okungenamuntu ngaphambi kokuthumela osomkhathi, ngakho-ke ukwehluleka ngakunye kwandisa ingcindezi yezinsuku zokugcina zokuthuthukiswa.
Ngaphandle kwemiphumela yendiza yesishiyagalolunye, i-SpaceX iyaqhubeka nenqubomgomo yayo yokuthi ukufunda okuqhubekayo kanye nokwenza ngcono: Wonke amaphutha amele ithuba lokuthuthukisa amasistimu nezinqubo zokuphepha. U-Elon Musk ukuqinisekisile lokho Idatha eqoqiwe izosheshisa ukukhishwa okuzayo, nemvamisa elindelekile eyodwa njalo emavikini amathathu noma amane, nokuthi izinjini ze-Raptor zesizukulwane sesithathu (i-Raptor 3) zizoba ukhiye wokuthuthukisa ukwethembeka kwesistimu.
El Inselelo enkulu esikhathini esifushane ukukhombisa ukuthi i-Starship ingaqeda ngempumelelo iphrofayili yayo yemishini.: finyelela ku-orbit, sebenzisa umthwalo okhokhelwayo, usinde ekungeneni kabusha futhi uqinisekise ukusetshenziswa kabusha okuphephile. Ukuqinisekiswa kwesivikelo sokushisa, amasistimu okuhlukanisa, nokuvutha kabusha kwe-obhithi kuzohlala kuyizinjongo eziyinhloko zokuhlola okuzayo.
Lokhu kwethulwa kugqamise amandla oguquko e-Starship, kanye nobunkimbinkimbi bokufeza ukwethembeka okudingekayo ekuhambeni emkhathini. Njengoba i-SpaceX ilungisa amasistimu ayo, I-eseyi ngayinye isondeza amathuba okwenza izindiza zaphakathi kwamaplanethi zibe ngokoqobo esikhathini esizayo., nakuba kusenendlela ende okufanele yenziwe ukuze kuzuzwe impumelelo ekugcineni.
