Nge-20 ka-Agasti i-NASA iya kuthumela inkwili ukuya emazantsi oLwandlekazi iPasifiki

NASA uhlala ezimisele ukuba yiarhente enguvulindlela eMhlabeni yokuhlola indawo kunye nokufunyanwa kweefom zobomi obutsha. Ukwenza lo msebenzi, i-Arhente yaseMajukujukwini yaseMelika ithathe isigqibo sokuba lifikile ixesha lokuthatha inyathelo elitsha kwaye ngokoqobo thatha inkwili ukuya emazantsi olwandle lwe-pacific.

Njengoko abo banoxanduva lwale projekthi babhengezile, babhaptizwa ngokusesikweni yiNASA ngegama le I-Subsea, iya kuqala kwinyanga ezayo ka-Agasti 20, umhla ekulindeleke ukuba inkwili iwuntywilisele kuwo kwaye iqalise ukuphalaza zonke iintlobo zedatha eya kuthi kamva icwangciswe ngocoselelo, hayi ilize, le mishini ijolise kakhulu isebenza njengesiseko seeprojekthi zexesha elizayo ezinxulumene nokukhangelwa kobomi obungaphandle komhlaba.

Iprojekthi yase-Subsea iyaqala, eya kuthi isebenze njengesiseko sokukhangela ubomi obungaphandle komhlaba ngaphandle kweplanethi yethu

Ukuba ungaphezulu okanye kuncinci ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwaye uyawazi amanyathelo athatyathwa yi-NASA, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kusazi ngokugqibeleleyo ukuba kutheni imishini efana nale iphehlelelwe. Isiphelo sayo ayikho enye into ngaphandle kobukho beenyanga ezahlukeneyo ezifana Europe, inyanga ebandayo kaJupiter, okanye Enceladus y Titan, iinyanga zikaSaturn, kwa ezo kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo ziye zatsala umdla wezazi ngeenkwenkwezi kunye nososayensi.

Injongo kukukhulisa kangangoko kunokwenzeka kwaye ngaphakathi kwiplanethi yethu uhlobo oluthile lwenkqubo okanye indlela, exhotyiswe ngezixhobo ezikhethekileyo, ekufuneka iimeko zokufunda emanzini alulwelo esandula ukufunyanwa kwiinyanga ezichazwe kwimigca ephezulu, ngakumbi kwimeko yeTitan, apho amanzi angaphezulu.

Umbono wokuthumela inkwili kuTitan ayonto intsha, i-NASA sele isixelele ngale projekthi malunga neminyaka emithathu edlulileyo

Umbono wokuphuhlisa eli qonga awuyonto intsha, ngakumbi kwimeko ye-NASA, iarhente ethi kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo yazisa umhlaba ngeprojekthi yayo eyayifuna ukuthatha inkwili ukuya eTitan. Njengokuba kuqhele ukwenzeka kolu hlobo lweprojekthi, bekucwangciswe ixesha elide, ngakumbi ukuthatha inkwili kule nyanga kaSaturn, ekuqaleni, bekuthethwa 2040 njengosuku olunokwenzeka.

Ngaphambi kokuba loo mhla ufike, I-NASA kufuneka ibe ngamanqanaba okutsha kwaye enye yeyokuqala ukuqala ukuvavanya iplanethi yethu, iimvavanyo ekufuneka zenziwe phantsi kweemeko ezahlukeneyo kwaye zisebenzisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zetekhnoloji, hayi ilize inyani kukuba asiyazi into esiza kuyifumana sakube sifikile eTitan. ke kuya kufuneka sithathe naluphi na uhlobo lweemeko.

Ngale ndlela kwaye ngaphandle kokwenza ingxolo enkulu, iprojekthi ye-NASA Subsea iyaqala, apho inkwili yokuqala iza kuthunyelwa ngqo emazantsi oLwandlekazi lwePasifiki, ngakumbi kwindawo ezingqonge esona siqithi sikhulu saseHawaii, ukuvavanya isixhobo lowo uxelela lo mzekelo wokuqala kuya kufuneka ajongane nawo uxinzelelo olukhulu kunye neemeko zobushushuUkongeza koku, i-mission izakusetyenziselwa ukufundisisa ibhayoloji kwezona ndawo zinzulu zolwandle.

Kwimishini yakhe yokuqala, i-Subsea kufuneka yehle iye kwi-hydrothermal vent eHawaii.

Phakathi kweedatha ezimbalwa ezipapashwe ngokusesikweni, siyazi ukuba eyona njongo iphambili yokuthunywa yile jonga emazantsi omoya ophuma emanzini eneqondo lobushushu lamakhulu amaqondo ngenxa yomsebenzi omkhulu wentaba-mlilo kuloo mmandla. Emva koko, inkwili iya kusetyenziswa ukufunda izinto ezinyamezelayo kunye neentsholongwane kwezi meko zichaziweyo eziza kuthi ziqwalaselwe ngokwendawo, okusingqongileyo kunye nokuqwalaselwa kweekhemikhali.

Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, kufuneka siyiqonde into yokuba olu hlobo lweprojekthi, nangona eyona njongo iphambili iyenye into, ayizukusinceda sazi iplanethi yethu ngcono. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba siphambi kwinyathelo lokuqala, uthotho lweemvavanyo eziya kugqitywa kanye nini Kunyaka olandelayo i-NASA ithumela inkwili kwakhona emazantsi olwandle kwakhona nangona, ngeso sihlandlo baya kusebenzisa Ukulibaziseka kwemizuzu engama-24 kunxibelelwano Ukuzama ukulinganisa ixesha eliza kuthatha ukuthumela iodolo kwinkwili eyayiqikelelwa ngokwenene eyayikwiTitan.
