Umjukujelwa we-SpaceX Falcon 9 ophethe iisetellites ezingama-60 ze-Starlink ziphakamisa ukusuka kwi-pad 40 eCape Canaveral Station Force Station.UPaul Hennessy / Imifanekiso ye-SOPA / i-LightRocket nge-Getty Izithombe Kunyaka ophelileyo, i-SpaceX yasungula ngaphezulu kwe-800 Iisathelayithi zeStarlink ngemishini eli-14, ukuzisa inani elipheleleyo leesathelayithi kwi-Earth-orbit esezantsi ukuya ngaphezulu kwe-1 000. Inkampani iqale nenkonzo ye-beta kwi iimarike ezininzi ezinkulu . Kwaye kwakusisiqalo nje-inkampani ekhokelwa ngu-Elon Musk inezicwangciso ezikhulu ze-2021, ezifuna ukufikelela kwi-intanethi kunye nokwandisa isantya sokukhuphela.
Emva kwesiqalo sonyaka, esiphawulwe kukulibaziseka rhoqo kunye nengozi yokufika, ukwaziswa kweStarlink ekugqibeleni kuthabatha isantya esiya entwasahlobo. I-SpaceX yamva nje yeesetellayithi ezingama-60 ze-Starlink imiselwe ukuphakamisa ubusuku bangoLwesibini. ( Uhlaziyo: Ukuphehlelelwa kumiselwe uMatshi 11.) Irokethi ye-Falcon 9 ephethe iisathelayithi iya kuba sisikhuthazi esifanayo nesithumele oosomajukujuku ababini be-NASA kwiSitishi saMazwe ngaMazwe kwi-SpaceX's eyimbali yenqwelomoya eyayihamba ngoMeyi ophelileyo.
Enye imishini yeStarlink icwangciselwe lo Mgqibelo kwaye ezinye ezimbini kulindeleke ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-Matshi.
Inqwelomoya yangoLwesibini izakuba yimishini yesithandathu ye-SpaceX ye-SpaceX kulo nyaka kunye nokusungulwa kwe-21st Starlink ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Apha ngezantsi silandelele yonke inqwelomoya yeStarlink esungulwe okanye yacwangciswa ngo-2021 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Siza kuhlaziya uluhlu njengoko kubhengezwa ngakumbi ukuthunyelwa. (Jonga eyethu Isikhangeli seStarlink se2020 kwimishini yangaphambili.)
I-Starlink Missions kunye nePayloads ka-2021
Umsebenzi v1.0 L16 nge-20 kaJanuwari 2021: 60 iisathelayithi ze-Starlink
Imishini v1.0 Tr-1 ngoJanuwari 24, 2021: Iisathelayithi ezili-10 ze-Starlink zaphehlelelwa njengenxalenye yeTransporter-1 SmallSat Rideshare Mission.Yayikukuqaliswa kokuqala kweesathelayithi ze-Starlink ukuya kumjikelezo we-polar.
Umsebenzi v1.0 L18 ngoFebruwari 4, 2021: 60 iisetellites ze-Starlink
Umsebenzi v1.0 L19 ngoFebruwari 16, 2021: 60 iisetellites ze-Starlink. (IsithubaX ulahlekelwe yi-Falcon 9 booster kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantic ngexesha lenkqubo yokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo.)
Umsebenzi v1.0 L17 nge-Matshi 4, 2021: 60 i-Starlink satellites
Imishini v1.0 L20 nge-10 Matshi 2021: 60 satellite satellite
Umsebenzi v1.0 L21 ngo-Matshi 13, 2021: 60 iisathelayithi ze-Starlink
Umsebenzi v1.0 L22 nge-Matshi 24, 2021: 60 iisetellites ze-Starlink
Ngaba ungazibona iiSathelayithi zeStarlink esibhakabhakeni?
Kwangoko ngexesha leprojekthi yeStarlink, izazinzulu ngeenkwenkwezi zaphakamisa inkxalabo malunga nokukhanya kweesathelayithi 'kuthintela ukujongwa kwesayensi. Abakhangeli beenkwenkwezi be-Amateur bahlala benika ingxelo yokubona oololiwe be-Starlink satellite bewela esibhakabhakeni kungekudala emva kokuqaliswa.
Kutshanje isetellites ezisandula ukwenziwa akukho lula ukuzibona, nangona. Ukusukela ngoJulayi 2020, i-SpaceX ixhotyise yonke i-Starlink satellite nge-visor ethintela ukukhanya kwelanga ukuze ingabonakali esibhakabhakeni.
