Okwangoku siqinisekile ukuba sonke siyazazi izinto eziza kwenzeka, ngakumbi izinto ezingalunganga de iinjineli zikwazi ukulungisa ukusebenza kwazo, irokethi efana Falcon9, Uphuhliso oluye lwasebenza ukungcwalisa kugqatso lwendawo okokuqala inkampani yabucala efana SpaceX.
Ngenxa yokukhetha ngokukuko i-rocket enjenge-Falcon9 evumayo, ngakumbi ukuba sijonga into elula njengaleyo inokuphinda isebenze, into ethi ekugqibeleni iguqulele kulwaziso kunye nokuthunyelwa kweesathelayithi kunye nokuthengiswa ngendlela ebiza kakhulu kuwo onke amaqela, ayothusi into yokuba I-NASA igqibe kwelokuba yenze esidlangalaleni ukuba baya kuqala ukuyisebenzisa kwimishini yabo elandelayo.
I-NASA iza kusebenzisa i-Falcon9 esele ikwindawo okokuqala
Njengoko kuchaziwe kupapasho lweendaba olupapashwe yi-arhente yasemajukujukwini yase-US uqobo, sijamelene nento ezakuba yiyo ixesha lokuqala eli qumrhu likarhulumente lithathe isigqibo sokusebenzisa irokethi enokuphinda isebenze kolunye lwemishini yayo. Okwangoku, kufanele ukuba kuqatshelwe ukuba ayikokokuqala ukuba iNASA kunye neSpaceX basebenze kunye, kodwa lixesha lokuqala ukuba basebenzise irokhethi esetyenzisiweyo.
Ukuzama ukukuchaza ngcono oku, ndingathanda ukuba siye kuJuni ophelileyo, umhla xa, ukuba sijonga ukwaziswa okwenziwe yiSpaceX, sifumana enye ngokukodwa apho iFalcon9 entsha isetyenziselwe ukuthumela zonke iintlobo zezinto kunye nokubonelelwa kweSitishi saMazwe ngaMazwe sasemajukujukwini NgeyoMnga kuza kubakho olunye uphehlelelo kwaye ngeli xesha I-Falcon9 efanayo esetyenziswe ngoJuni iya kusetyenziswa.
Njengoko kuye kwaxelwa NASA:
Kwi-NASA sivumile, emva kohlu olubanzi lovavanyo kunye novavanyo olwenziwe kwidatha ebonelelwe yi-SpaceX ngokubhekisele ekusebenziseni iyunithi ye-Falcon9, ukusebenzisa le yunithi kwimishini yexesha elizayo.
Le Falcon9 iya kusetyenziselwa ukuphinda iphinde iphinde ibuye kwiSikhululo saMazwe ngaMazwe
Nangona esi sigqibo se-NASA sinokubonakala sicacile, inyani kukuba kuninzi kakhulu okusemngciphekweni kunokuba sinokucinga njalo ngenxa yolunye lwale mishini yokugcwalisa. Isikhululo soMhlaba saMazwe ngaMazwe Iyenziwa, iinyanga ezininzi kufuneka zichithwe kuphuhliso lwazo zonke iinkqubo ezibiza kakhulu eziza kuthunyelwa kuphando olwahlukileyo okanye ukuqokelelwa kokutya kunye nezinye izinto ekufuneka oosomajukujuku basinde emajukujukwini. Kukuqonda ukuba, ukuba kwenzeke into embi kwinkqubo yokuqhubela phambili, kuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukuthumela enye irokethi esitishini kwisikhululo sethutyana.
Inyani yile yokuba sijamelene nembali ebalulekileyo, ngakumbi kwinkampani ekhokelwa ngu-Elon Musk kuba inokuba yiyo ekugqibeleni vula indlela yeNASA ukuba iqale ukuthembela kwiirokethi ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe ukusuka kwi-SpaceX. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko kutyhiliwe, kubonakala ngathi i-NASA iyakuthathela ingqalelo ukusebenzisa olu hlobo lweerokethi kwixesha elizayo, ukuba nje yonke into ihamba kakuhle, kuhambo ngalunye oluza kwenziwa kungekudala.
Inkxaso yeNASA kolu hlobo lweerokethi iya kwenza ukuba intengiso ikhuphisane ngakumbi nokufika kweenkampani ezintsha
Ukufumana i-NASA ukuba igqibe kwelokuba isebenzise i-Falcon9 esele isetyenzisiwe kwimishini yangaphambili, i-SpaceX ayinayo loo nto kuphela ukuphucula kakhulu ukusebenza kweenkqubo zakho, kodwa kananjalo bafumana iirokethi zabo ezininzi ukuba zisungulwe emajukujukwini, kwimishini eyahlukeneyo, ukuya kuthi ga kwizihlandlo ezithathu, apho bathi ekugqibeleni babonakalise ukuba nakho ukubeka isathelayithi ekujikelezeni kwabo nokubuyela eMhlabeni ngempumelelo.
Ngale ndlela, i-SpaceX yongeza kuluhlu lwayo lwezinto eziphilayo ezivumela ukusetyenziswa kweerokethi ezinokusetyenziswa okungaphezulu kwesinye kwiNASA, uluhlu apho sifumana ezinye izizwe ezinjengeIridium okanye iSpacecom. Kwelinye icala, eli nyathelo libalulekileyo ngokuqinisekileyo liya kukhuthaza ezinye iintlobo zeenkampani ezinokuthi intengiso efana nale, apho iirokethi zinokusetyenziswa kwakhona, kunokwenzeka, ke baya kuthi batyale imali kuphuhliso lweeyunithi zabo, ukufezekisa ukuba Imakethi inokhuphiswano ngakumbi.
