Emva kokulinda ixesha elide, ukulibaziseka kweenyanga ezininzi kubandakanywa, kubonakala ngathi ekugqibeleni SpaceX isungule ngempumelelo yayo Falcon, eyona rocket inamandla ekhoyo namhlanje kwaye, nayo, inokusebenza njengesiseko sokuphuhlisa iprojekthi eya kuthi ekugqibeleni ithathe abantu baye kuMars. Okwangoku, ndingathanda ukukuxelela ukuba, ibiyinto elindelekileyo yokuphehlelelwa okuthe, ngokweenkcukacha-manani ezibonelelwe nguYouTube, ibe yeyona nto ibalulekileyo. eyesibini eyona nto ijongwe kakhulu kwimbali yeqonga.
Esi sibhengezo se-YouTube sinenkcazo, okanye ubuncinci ndikholelwa ngoko, kwaye kukuba abasebenzisi abaninzi baye babona ukuqaliswa kwe-Falcon Heavy baphile into elula nje ngokuba, kwiiyure ngaphambili, u-Elon Musk, nge-akhawunti yakhe ye-Twitter. , waqinisekisa ukuba Kwakukho kuphela i-50% ithuba lokuba i-rocket enkulu eyenziwe ngu-SpaceX ingaqhushumba. Ayizange iqhume nje kuphela, kodwa inkampani ithathele ingqalelo oku kuqaliswa ngempumelelo, nangona kukho iingxaki.
Ngaphandle kokuqwalasela ukuqaliswa ngempumelelo, inyaniso kukuba i-core ye-rocket iphelile ukuphahlazeka ngaphezu kwe-480 km / h.
Phakathi kweengxaki eziye zafunyanwa kukusungulwa, ukuba inkampani ikwazile ukubuyisela ngempumelelo iirokethi ezimbini kwezintathu ezenza i-Falcon Heavy, eyesithathu iphelile. ukubetha ulwandle ngesantya esingama-480 km/h. Ubuncinci zimbini kwiirokethi ezintathu ezenza le Falcon Heavy yokuqala zingaphinda zisetyenziswe kwezinye iimishini.
Njengoko sele kukhankanyiwe kwamanye amaxesha, inyaniso kukuba ayisosihlandlo sokuqala sithethe ngombono wokuba i-SpaceX iphunyezwe kwi-Falcon Heavy, yinto onokuyibona emfanekisweni ukuba ndikushiye apha ngezantsi. le migca, efanayo apho unokuqonda ngokugqibeleleyo i izigaba ezahlukeneyo irokhethi eye yadlula kuzo ukusuka ekukhanyisweni kwayo de kwacingelwa ukuba iirokethi ezintathu ezizenzileyo zazifanele ukuhlala kumhlaba oqinileyo. Kuyabonakala ukuba ingxaki undoqo ongundoqo awukwazanga ukuhla ngenxa yokuba, nangona izibalo, okufanayo. iphelelwe ngamafutha ngoko ayibanga nako ukuma ekufikeni kwayo.
Nje ukuba i-Falcon Heavy iphuhliswe kwaye iqaliswe okokuqala ... yeyiphi iprojekthi i-SpaceX eya kuqala ukusebenza kuyo?
Nje ukuba i-SpaceX ikwazile ukwenza ukuqaliswa kwe-Falcon Heavy ibe yimpumelelo, ngaphandle kwento yokuba iiparamitha ezininzi kufuneka zihlengahlengiswe ukuqinisekisa ukuba yonke into isebenza ngokugqibeleleyo, inkampani isandula ukubhengeza ukuba iza kusebenza kwirokethi eya kuthi ngenene isebenze. iya kusisa kuMars kwixesha elizayo. Lo mzekelo, usekwe kwi Falcon Heavy, ubhaptizwe ngegama lethutyana 'WCR', isifinyezo se I-Big F * cking Rocket. Kuyabonakala ukuba, kwaye nangona inkqubela yeprojekthi ingaziwa ngokuqinisekileyo, ngokutsho kwamarhe, i-SpaceX inokuqalisa ukwenza uvavanyo lokuqala lwesiphekepheke kulo nyaka uzayo.
Ngamazwi akhe uElon Musk:
Kukho izinto ezininzi zokungaqiniseki malunga nale nkqubo, kodwa iya kuba yinjongo yethu. Sele sigqibile ngeFalcon 9 kunye neFalcon Heavy. Emva kwebhlokhi yesi-5 (uphononongo lwe-Falcon 9) asiyi kuphinda senze nabo, kwaye kunye ne-Dragon mhlawumbi emva kwe-Dragon Two.
Njengeenkcukacha zokugqibela, vele ndikuxelele ukuba kufuneka sithathele ingqalelo ukuba i-Falcon Heavy inokuphawula ngaphambi nasemva kogqatso lwesithuba ukusukela, ukongeza ekubeni eyona rocket inamandla ekusebenzeni Ikwayeyona inoqoqosho kakhulu ukuyisebenzisa, kunjalo ke imeko yokuba ukuqaliswa kwe-Falcon Heavy kune Ixabiso lama-90 ezigidi zeedola ngelixa, ukuba sijonga kukhuphiswano, usebenzisa Delta 4 Heavy ephuhliswe United Launch Alliance ineendleko phakathi 350 ukuba 420 million dollar.
