I-Starship SN11 ivuthele ngexesha lovavanyo oluphezulu ngoMatshi.@ LashanStuff / Twitter NgoLwesibini ophelileyo, nge-Matshi 30, i-SpaceX isungule uhlobo lwayo lwamva nje lweStarship, SN11, phakathi kwenkungu enzima yasekuseni eBoca Chica, eTexas. Yayiluvavanyo lwesine lwendawo ephezulu ngeSpaceX ngeStarship. I-SN11 inyukele ngempumelelo kubude obuchongiweyo beemayile ezi-6.2 (iikhilomitha ezili-10). Kodwa kwakamsinya nje emva kokuba iinjini zayo zavutha ngenxa yokuhla kwayo, irokethi yaqhuma embindini womoya .
Akukho mntu wayeqinisekile ngokwenzekileyo ngalo mzuzu ngenxa yenkungu eshinyeneyo kwindawo yovavanyo. Imifanekiso yephedi yokwazisa ibonise ukuba i-SN11 ibingabonakali ndawo emva kokwehla kwerokethi. I-SpaceX kamva iqinisekisile ukuba i-SN11 ifumene ukukhutshwa ngokukhawuleza okungacwangciswanga, okanye i-RUD. Kwaye kwada kwasa kusasa ukuba umphathi we-CEO u-Elon Musk aveze oko kubangele ukuqhuma.
Ukuvuza okungathethekiyo kwe-CH4 [methane] kukhokelele kumlilo kwi-injini 2 kunye nenxalenye eqhotsiweyo ye-avionics, ebangela ukuqala kanzima ukuzama ukutshisa i-CH4 turbopump, uMusk wathumela umyalezo ngentsasa yangoMvulo ukuphendula iakhawunti ye-Twitter Yonke into i-SpaceX icela uhlaziyo kwi-SN11's RUD uphando.
Funda kwakhona: Ezinye iiRokethi zeSpaceX Falcon 9 zifikelela kuMhla wokuphelelwa. Ixesha elizayo yi-Starship.
Zonke iiprothokholi zeStarship ukuza kuthi ga ngoku zixhotyiswe ziinjini ezintathu zeRaptor ezizaliswe yimethane ebandayo kunye neoksijini yokuhambisa. Ezi njini zinoxanduva lokutyhala irokethi ukuya kuthi ga kwiikhilomitha ezili-10 esibhakabhakeni. Irokethi yenziwa ukuba ivale iinjini nganye ngokulandelelana xa sele ifikelele kubude obufunekayo, iphose kwindawo ethe tyaba kwaye iqale ukwehla okulawulwayo ukubuyela emhlabeni. Iinjini kufanele ukuba ziphinde zisebenze kwakhona kwinqanaba lokugqibela lokufaka i-rocket 90 degree kumhlaba othe nkqo.
Ngexesha lovavanyo lwe-SN11, inqanaba lokunyuka, ukutshintsha ukuya kwi-oxwesileyo kunye nolawulo ngexesha lokubuyela simahla eMhlabeni konke kuye ngokwesicwangciso, utshilo uMusk. Kodwa ukuvuza okuncinci kwe-methane kukhokelele emlilweni kwenye yee-Raptor iinjini, kubangele ukuqala ngamandla kwi-injini yemethane turbopump ekuqaleni kokutsha kokufika.
Isigaba sonyuko, utshintsho kumda othe tye kunye nolawulo ngexesha lokuwa mahala kwakulungile.
Ukuvuza okungaphantsi kwe-CH4 okuncinci kukhokelele kumlilo kwi-injini 2 kunye nenxalenye eqhotsiweyo ye-avionics, ebangela ukuqala kanzima kokuzama ukutshisa kwi-CH4 turbopump.
Oku kulungiswa ngeendlela ezi-6 ukuya ngeCawa.

I-Starship yirokethi yesizukulwana esilandelayo ye-SpaceX enoxanduva lokutshintsha inkqubo yangoku ye-Falcon 9-Dragon yemithwalo kunye nabasebenzi kwi-orbit yoMhlaba. Isithuthi siyakwenza inqanaba eliphezulu le-booster enkulu eya kuthutha oosomajukujuku baye enyangeni naseMars.
ISpaceX ixakekile isakha iinkqubo ezintsha zeStarship. Nganye InASA yesiphekepheke, I-SpaceX ineendlela ezine ezilindele uvavanyo oluphezulu. Eyona intsha, SN15, kumalungiselelo okugqibela okukhutshwa kwindawo yovavanyo yeBoca Chica.
