Kuleli sonto kunezindaba eziningi ezihlobene nomhlaba wokuhlola umkhathi esingakhuluma ngazo, phakathi kwazo, ngaphandle kokungabaza, kuyamangaza ikakhulukazi ukuthi iNASA inqume ukufaka umkhankaso Mashi 2020 akukho okungaphansi kwendiza enophephela emhlane, eye yabhabhadiswa ngokusemthethweni ngegama le- I-Mars Helicopter.
Okwamanje kuncane kakhulu okwaziwayo ngalolu hlelo olusha nolumangazayo olwenziwe yiNASA. Ngokuya ngezitatimende ezenziwe ngabaningi balabo ababhekele kokubili iphrojekthi kanye ne-United States Space Agency uqobo, sikhuluma ngesibonelo lapho iqembu lonjiniyela abaqeqeshiwe usebenze iminyaka engaphezu kwemine nokuthi, njengemininingwane, icishe ifane kakhulu nedrone esingayithola eMhlabeni kunendiza enophephela emhlane uqobo, okungenani ngokusebenza.
I-NASA imemezela ukuthi iMission 2020 izoletha indiza enophephela emhlane eMars
Umqondo ngemuva kokufakwa kwalesi sakhiwo esikhethekile kule mishini ukuthi uma imishini ifinyelela eMars futhi ingasatshalaliswa, njengoba bethemba eNASA, kuzoba ngokokuqala ukuthi bakwazi thatha izithombe zeplanethi engomakhelwane ngokubuka kwenyoni, into okwamanje esingeke sikwazi ukuyenza futhi okudingeka ukuthi yenziwe yakhiwe futhi yenziwe ukuthi kufanele ikwazi ukusebenza, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukundiza, ezimweni ezihluke kakhulu kunalezo esinazo eMhlabeni.
Vele, ngaphambi kokuthi le drone eyingqayizivele ikwazi ngisho ukuthatha isibhamu sokuqala bese iyithumela eMhlabeni, akumele ihambele eMars kuphela, kepha kufanele ihlale kucezu olulodwa futhi kulokhu izofakwa ku-rover ezonikeza impilo. umsebenzi weMars 2020. Uma konke kuhamba ngohlelo, i-drone izozama kuze kube izindiza ezinhlanu ezizoqhubeka, ukwenza lo msebenzi uzoba nefayela le- umkhawulo wesikhathi cishe wezinsuku ezingama-30.
Le ndiza enophephela emhlane yenzelwe e-Jet Propulsion Laboratory yeNASA
Ukungena emininingwaneni ethe xaxa, ngikutshele ukuthi le drone ifakwe isoftware eyenza ukuthi ikwazi ukuzimela ngokuphelele futhi, njengoba ucabanga impela, inselelo enkulu ebhekene nayo ukuthola konke ukwakhiwa kwayo, cishe 1'8 kilograms wesisindo, undizela esibhakabhakeni saseMars, iplanethi esimvelo sayo asiminyene njengaseMhlabeni, ngokungangabazeki inselele onjiniyela beNASA iJet Propulsion Laboratory ababonakala bebhekane nayo ngempumelelo.
Ngokuphathelene nezindiza zokuhlola, sekutholakele ukuthi kwezokuqala kwazo kuzokwenziwa umzamo wokuthi idrone ikhuphuke ifike kumamitha ama-3 ukuphakama futhi ihlale emoyeni kungapheli imizuzwana engama-30. Lapho isibuyile esisekelweni sayo, izovuselela amabhethri ayo bese iqhubeka nokwenza izindiza ezintsha ngobude obukhulayo nobude, yize kuhlelwe ukuthi kakhulu ingandiza ngesikhathi Imizuzwana engu-90.
Kuze kube ngoJulayi 2020 ngeke sikwazi ukubona izithombe zezinyoni zokuqala zeMars
Ngaphandle kokungabaza, sibhekene nenye yezinselelo ezithakazelisa kakhulu iNASA ebhekane nazo, yona leyo osopolitiki abahlukene bezwe laseMelika abangazange bananaze kuyo 'shaya igoli'ngenye indlela, bonke bayavuma ukuthi izivivinyo ezinjengalezi kufanele zifinyelele ekilasini ziye kusebenza njengogqozi nogqozi ezinkulungwaneni zezingane zaseMelika ezifuna ukuba onjiniyela nososayensi ngokuzayo.
Okwamanje nangokujwayelekile, ngaphandle kwezithombe ezimbalwa nevidiyo lapho i-NASA uqobo isikhombisa khona ukuthi izohamba kanjani uma lo mfanekiso ufika eMars, kuzofanele silinde isikhathi eside, ngokomthetho futhi uma konke kuhamba kahle, okungenani kuze kube Julayi 2020, usuku lapho, ngokokuqala ngqá, kufanele sitholakale khona izithombe zamehlo ezinyoni zeplanethi yethu engomakhelwane, umbono omusha ngokuphelele ozosikhombisa imininingwane eminingi esasingayazi kuze kube manje.
