I-rocket yokuqala ye-Stardust ephantsi nge-bluShift ye-aerospace imi ngaphezulu komgaqo kaloliwe wokumiliselwa kwindlela ye-Limestone, Maine.I-BluShift Aerospace I-SpaceX ka-Elon Musk ilawula ishishini lesithuba sorhwebo kwi2020 kwaye isakhula ngesantya esingazange sabonwa ngaphambili, nge iiprojekthi ezininzi zokwaphula umhlaba kuyaqhubeka. Kwaye okwangoku, i-SpaceX enkulu yokwakha irokethi kwaye ibonakala ngathi ayinasiphelo echibini Kunzima ukudibanisa, inyani kukuba awusoloko ufuna i-200-ubude ye-Falcon 9 booster ukuthumela i-satellites kwi-orbit. Oko kunika ezinye iziqalo ithemba, isibonelelo sikhuthaze inkampani yetekhnoloji kule minyaka ingamashumi amane idlulileyo.
Isityalo seenkampani ezincinci zesithuba, ezisekwe ngoosozigidigidi kunye namagqala emizi mveliso ngokufanayo, baphonononga iindlela ezingabizi kakhulu, ezifanelekileyo zokumilisela iisathelayithi ezincinci kunye ne-nano kwi-Earth orbit ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ekhulayo. Baliqela lokuyila: abanye bayilahlile inkqubo yokumisa ngokuthe nkqo kumashishini; bambi bavula imijukujelwa evela kwiindawo zeentaba ezigqunywe likhephu; Kwaye enye inkampani iyazilungiselela ukuba ibe ngumenzi wokuqala werokethi ukuba ithengiswe kwi-NASDAQ.
I-Orbit yeVirgin: UkuSungulwa kweRocket ngaphandle kokuPhakamisa
'Intombazana yeCosmic' iBoeing 747 ikhupha iLauncherOne phakathi komoya okokuqala ngqa ngexesha lovavanyo lukaJulayi 2019.I-Orbit yeNtombi URichard Branson kaThixo Isiqalo esinegama elinguVirgin Kudala sisebenzisa iindlela ezingaqhelekanga ukuthumela abantu kunye nokuhlawula umthwalo emajukujukwini. Kwinyanga ephelileyo, iVirgin Orbit, iyunithi yesathelayithi yeVirgin Group, ithumele ngempumelelo iisathelayithi ezincinci ezili-10 Orbit emhlabeni ngenkqubo yokwazisa ngumoya, apho indiza eguqulweyo ye-Boeing 747 yasuka kwindawo yokubaleka ene-LauncherOkunye irokethi ebotshelelwe phantsi kwelinye lamaphiko ayo kwaye yakhupha irokethi kubude beemitha ezingama-10, 700 (10,700 yeemitha) . Irokethi emva koko yakhupha injini yayo yaza yenyuka yaya kwinqwelomoya.
IVirgin Orbit ithi le ndlela ibonelela ngokuguquguquka ngakumbi kunenkqubo yokumisela ngokuthe nkqo. Inkqubo yokumiliselwa komoya inokuthwala ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1,100 yeekhilogram (i-500 kilogram) yemithwalo yokuhlawulwa.
Isithuba se-Astra: UMenzi weRocket ekhwele i-SPAC Wave
I-Rocket ye-Astra ye-3.1 ishiye unxweme lwase-Alaskan kwindawo yokumiliselwa kwe-Kodiak yase-Astra nge-12 kaSeptemba 2020.ubume Njengomntu ngaphakathi ngaphakathi kumzi-mveliso osandula ukuxelela uMqwalaseli, uninzi lweziqalo zezithuba azikhathali kangako malunga nokuqokelela imali kwintengiso yoluntu kuba, nabasunguli babo bengamawaka ezigidi, akufuneki. Kodwa loo nto sele izakutshintsha ngo-2021 nanjengoko oosomashishini abaninzi bengena kwicandelo lezorhwebo elikhulayo kunye ne-SPAC (inkampani yokufumana iinjongo ezizodwa), okanye ukubuyisela umva ukudityaniswa, kwenza kube lula kunakuqala ukuba iinkampani ezincinci ziye esidlangalaleni.
Kwangoko kule veki, indawo ese-San Francisco esekwe e-Astra Space, umvelisi weerokethi ezisa isathelayithi ezincinci (kakuhle, ezingama-40 ubude), ubhengeze ukuba uvumile ukudibana nenkampani ye-Holicity yokufumana injongo ekhethekileyo ukuze iye esidlangalaleni kwisivumelwano esifanelekileyo $ 2.1 yezigidigidi.
Eyasungulwa ngo-2016, i-Astra yonyusa kuphela i-100 yezigidi zeedola ngaphambi kwesivumelwano se-SPAC. Yintoni enomdla ngale ntengiselwano sisantya esikwaziyo ukuzisa inkampani, u-CEO we-Astra uChris Kemp utshilo kwi-CNBC's Squawk Box ngoMvulo. Le yayiyeyona ndlela ikhawulezayo yokuba singaneli nje ukunyusa ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sezigidigidi zeedola zemali kodwa sifikelele nakwiimarike zikawonkewonke.
I-bluShift: Ukuphakama ukusuka kubusika obuFileyo boMntla mpuma Melika
I-Rocket Lab, uvulindlela weesathelayithi ezincinci kunye neerokethi zokuhambisa, ijolise kwikamva elifanayo lokuphinda lisebenze njengeSpaceX kodwa ifuna ukwenza oko ngeqhezu lexabiso leSpaceX. Inkampani esekwe eNew Zealand yenze inkqubela phambili enkulu kunye ne-Electron, inyusa yamanqanaba amabini amancinci aphindwe kane kune-SpaceX Falcon 9 kwaye ibiza ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-90 ukubhabha kwi-orbital mission.
NgoNovemba ophelileyo, iRocket Rock yabuyisa ngempumelelo inqanaba lokuqala lerokhethi ye-Electron kuvavanyo olubalulekileyo. Inkampani icwangcise iinqwelomoya ezine zovavanyo kwi-2021 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. UMsunguli kunye ne-CEO uPeter Beck uthe inkampani ngama-30 epesenti eyenziweyo ukusuka apho sifuna ukubakhona ekugqibeleni.
