Kwenzekile kwiveki ephelileyo, kodwa bekuyizolo xa iNASA iveze ukuba banyanzelwe ukuba bayicime iteleskopu yaseFermi. Ku-Matshi 16 ophelileyo kwenzeka oko. Kukuqwalaselwa okwasungulwa esithubeni ngo-2008, injongo yayo kukufunda ngemithombo yelitha yegamma kwindalo iphela. Kodwa, ngenxa yengxaki kwidiski enye yeepaneli zelanga, kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba bacime uFermi.
Kubonakala ngathi le ngxaki kwidiski yelinye yeepaneli zelanga ibangele Inkqubo izakufaka ngokuzenzekelayo imo ekhuselekileyo. Oku kubangele ukuba uFermi azicime izixhobo zakhe kwaye angavelisi idatha. Njengoko kutyhilwe yiNASA uqobo.
I-NASA ngokwayo sele iqhuba uphando ngesi sehlo. Kuba iphaneli yelanga ayishukumi xa kukho imfuneko. Ke okwangoku abayazi ngokuqinisekileyo imvelaphi yale anomaly kwithelesikophu. Okwangoku asifuni ukuvala nayiphi na into enokwenzeka.
Okwangoku, Iqela elisebenza kwimishini lijonga ukuba kunokwenzeka ukugcina iphaneli yelanga imisiwe Ngelixa behlalutya ukuba yintoni imvelaphi yale ngxaki eFermi. Ingozi eyenzeke kwiinyanga ezimbalwa emva kweminyaka elishumi yeteleskopu. A Isikhumbuzo esizakubhiyozelwa nge-11 kaJuni.
UJulie McEnery, usosayensi ophambili kwiprojekthi ye-NASA, ucinga ukuba iteleskopu iza kuphinda iqale ukusebenza kungekudala. Mhlawumbi kwiveki ezayo sele iyinyani. Nangona oku kungazukuthintela uphando ekubeni luthathe ikhosi. Kuba bafuna ukwazi ngqo imvelaphi yoku kusilela okuthintela iteleskopu ekuveliseni idatha.
Yiprojekthi enkulu exhaswa yi-NASA kunye neearhente zesithuba eJamani, eFrance, e-Itali, eJapan naseSweden.. Ke ukuba ukusilela akunakulungiswa, iya kuba sisiphelo seprojekthi encede iNASA kakhulu. Nangona benethemba lokuba uFermi uza kusebenza ngesiqhelo kwakhona kungekudala. Siza kuphaphama.
