NASA uhlala ezimisele ukuba yi-ejensi yokuphayona eMhlabeni yokuhlola umkhathi nokutholakala kwamafomu amasha empilo. Ukwenza lo msebenzi, i-United States Space Agency edumile inqume ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokuthatha isinyathelo esisha futhi ngokoqobo thatha umkhumbi-ngwenya uye ezansi kolwandle lwe-pacific.
Njengoba labo ababhekele le phrojekthi bememezele, babhabhadiswa ngokusemthethweni yi-NASA enegama le- I-Subsea, kuzoqala i- ngo-Agasti 20 olandelayo, usuku okulindeleke ukuthi umkhumbi-ngwenya ucwilise ngalo bese uqala ukukhipha zonke izinhlobo zedatha ezizocutshungulwa ngokucophelela, hhayi ngeze, le mishini igxile kakhulu Isebenza njengesisekelo samaphrojekthi wesikhathi esizayo ahlobene nokufunwa kwempilo engaphandle komhlaba.
Iphrojekthi yaseSubsea iyaqala, ezosebenza njengesisekelo sokucinga impilo engaphandle komhlaba ngaphandle kweplanethi yethu
Uma usesikhathini samanje noma esincane futhi uyazi izinyathelo ezithathwa yi-NASA, impela uzokwazi kahle ukuthi kungani kwethulwa imishini efana nale. Ukuphela kwayo akuyona enye ngaphandle kokuba khona kwezinyanga ezahlukahlukene ezifana Europa, inyanga ebandayo kaJupiter, noma Enceladus y I-Titan, izinyanga zikaSaturn, ezinyangeni zakamuva ezidonse ukunaka kwezazi zezinkanyezi nososayensi abaningi.
Umqondo ukuthuthukisa ngangokunokwenzeka futhi ngaphakathi kweplanethi yethu uhlobo oluthile lohlelo noma imishini, enezinsimbi ezikhethekile kakhulu, ngazo izimo zokufunda emanzini ketshezi esanda kutholakala ezinyangeni ezishiwo kulayini abaphezulu, ikakhulukazi endabeni yeTitan, lapho amanzi engaphezulu.
Umqondo wokuthumela umkhumbi-ngwenya kwaTitan awumusha, iNASA isivele isitshele ngale phrojekthi eminyakeni emithathu edlule
Umqondo wokwenza le nkundla awumusha neze, ikakhulukazi endabeni yeNASA, i-ejensi eminyakeni emithathu edlule eyethule umhlaba iphrojekthi yayo eyayifuna ukuhambisa umkhumbi-ngwenya oya eTitan. Njengoba kujwayele ukwenzeka ngalolu hlobo lweprojekthi, yayihlelelwe esikhathini eside kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ukuletha umkhumbi-ngwenya kule nyanga kaSaturn, ekuqaleni, kwakhulunywa 2040 njengosuku olwenzeka ngalo.
Ngaphambi kokuba lolo suku lufike ekugcineni, I-NASA kumele ibe yizigaba ezivuthayo futhi okunye kokuqala ukuqala ukuhlola iplanethi yethu, izivivinyo okufanele zenziwe ngaphansi kwezimo ezahlukahlukene nokusebenzisa izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zobuchwepheshe, akulona ize iqiniso ukuthi asazi ukuthi yini esizoyithola uma sesifikile eTitan ngakho-ke kufanele sicabange noma yiluphi uhlobo lwesimo.
Ngale ndlela nangaphandle kokwenza umsindo omningi, iphrojekthi ye-NASA Subsea iyaqala, lapho umkhumbi-ngwenya wokuqala uzothunyelwa khona ngqo ezansi oLwandlekazi iPacific, ikakhulukazi endaweni esesiqhingini esikhulu kunazo zonke saseHawaii, ukuze kuhlolwe insimbi lowo otshela lo mfanekiso wokuqala okuzofanela abhekane nawo ukucindezela ngokweqile nezimo zokushisaNgaphezu kwalokhu, lo msebenzi uzosetshenziselwa ukutadisha i-biology ezingxenyeni ezijulile zolwandle.
Kumishini yakhe yokuqala, uSubsea kumele ehlele emgodini we-hydrothermal eHawaii
Phakathi kwemininingwane embalwa eshicilelwe ngokusemthethweni, siyazi ukuthi inhloso enkulu yokuthunywa hlola phansi kwe-hydrothermal vent okunokushisa kwamakhulu ama-degree ngenxa yomsebenzi omkhulu wentaba-mlilo kuleyo ndawo. Ngokulandelayo, umkhumbi-ngwenya uzosetshenziselwa ukutadisha izinto ezibekezelayo namagciwane kulezi zimo ezithile lapho kuzokwenzelwa khona ukubonwa kwendawo, ezemvelo kanye namakhemikhali.
Ngaphandle kokungabaza, kufanele sazi ukuthi lolu hlobo lwephrojekthi, yize inhloso enkulu ingeyokunye, ngeke lusisize sazi iplanethi yethu kangcono kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi siphambi nje kwesinyathelo sokuqala, uchungechunge lwezivivinyo ezizophothulwa nini ngonyaka ozayo i-NASA ithumela umkhumbi-ngwenya ezansi olwandle futhi noma kunjalo, kuleso senzakalo bazosebenzisa i- Ukulibaziseka kokuxhumana kwemizuzu engama-24 ukuzama ukulingisa isikhathi obekuzothatha ukuthumela i-oda kumkhumbi wamanzi ongacabangi owawuseTitan ngempela.
