I-NASA elandelayo iMars Rover iya kukhangela imiqondiso yoBomi-Kodwa siya kuyibiza ngokuba yintoni?

Kwigumbi elikhulu elicocekileyo kwiLebhu ye-Jet Propulsion ye-NASA, iarhente elandelayo kaMars rover ilungiselelwe uhambo lwayo kwiplanethi ebomvu. Lo mthunywa weerobhothi onamavili amathandathu uya kukhangela umphezulu weMartian ukuze afumane iimpawu zobomi.

Emva kokuphehlelela lo Julayi, i-rover izakuthatha iinyanga ezininzi ukufikelela kwi-Mars, ichukumisa umhlaba ngoFebruwari 2021. Yindawo ekuyiwa kuyo: yi-28 yeemayile ububanzi (iikhilomitha ezingama-45) Umngxuma wechibi . Nje ukuba ibe yindawo yedike lakudala, iJezero ikwalikhaya lomlanjana ogcinwe ngokugqibeleleyo-umlomo womlambo, apho ungena khona echibini. Ezi ziindawo ezithembisayo zokujonga imiqondiso yobomi, yiyo loo nto le delta ijolise kuyo ngexesha lokuhamba kwe rover.

Eyona njongo iphambili ye rover iya kuba kukukhangela imiqondiso yobomi beentsholongwane obudlulileyo, kodwa ikwalinyathelo lokuqala kwiphulo lokubuyisa isampulu yeNASA. I-rover izakuhamba iye e-Jezero crater, ithathe iisampulu zamatye kunye nomhlaba, kwaye emva koko itywinwe kwiityhubhu ukuze enye imishini kamva iphinde ibabuyise kwaye ibathumele eMhlabeni.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, i-NASA ithumele ii-rovers ezine kwiplanethi ebomvu, nganye inikwe umsebenzi othile. Abahloli abanesibindi babuyisele ubutyebi beenkcukacha kunye neefoto ezintle, eziye zandisa ukuqonda kwethu kweMars ngokucacileyo, kodwa kuninzi kuphela i-rover enokuyenza.

Kungenxa yoko le nto i-NASA isithi ukuxhoma kunye nokumakisha iisampulu ukuzithumela eMhlabeni linyathelo elilandelayo elinengqiqo.

Le mishini yokubuyisa inokumiliselwa kwakamsinya nje ngo-2026, utshilo amagosa ejensi. I-NASA ikwinkqubo yokwenza imephu le nkqubo ngoku, kwaye ikhangele umntu oza kuyenza Khokela iphulo . Iya kuvavanya itekhnoloji enokuba luncedo kwikamva imisebenzi yabantu kwiMars .

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba i-rover ifumane isayensi yayo, ifuna igama. Ke ungayibiza ngantoni iMars rover elandelayo? Lo mzekeliso ubonakalisa i-NASA's Mars 2020 rover kumphezulu weMars.I-NASA / JPL-Caltech

Kutshanje iNASA ibuze lo mbuzo kubantwana kwilizwe liphela. Iarhente iqale i Ukhuphiswano lwesincoko ngo-Agasti-vula ukuya kumabanga K-12- kwaye kutshanje uyinciphisile ukuya kukhetho lwethoba. Abokugqibela:

• Ukunyamezela, K-4, u-Oliver Jacobs waseVirina.
• Ukuqina, K-4, Eamon Reilly wasePennsylvania.
• Thembisa, K-4, Amira Shanshiry waseMassachusetts.
• Ukunyamezela, 5-8, Alexander Mather waseVirginia.
• Umbono, 5-8, uHadley Green waseMississippi.
• Ukucaca, 5-8, uNora Benitez waseCalifornia.
• Ubukrelekrele, 9-12, Vaneeza Rupani waseAlabama.
• Ukuphakama, 9-12, Anthony Yoon wase-Oklahoma.
• Inkalipho, 9-12, Tori Grey yaseLouisiana.

Ukhuphiswano lokuqamba amagama abafundi yinkcubeko ekudala ikho yeNASA. Ngapha koko, abantwana bathiye zonke iiMars rovers zeNASA-Sojourner ngo-1996; Umoya nethuba ngo-2003; Umnqweno, owafika eMars ngo-2012; kwaye ngoku, i-2020 rover.

Unokufunda izincoko zokugqibela Apha . Kutshanje i-NASA ivale uvoto lwehlabathi ukubona ukuba loluphi uluvo loluntu kula magama alithoba aphezulu. Iziphumo zolovoto ziya kuthathelwa ingqalelo kwisiphumo sokugqibela.

Inqanaba elilandelayo lokhuphiswano liqala kungekudala. Bonke abasithoba bokugqibela baya kukhusela ukhetho lwabo egameni phambi kwepaneli yeejaji ezibandakanya uLori Glaze, umlawuli wecandelo lezenzululwazi zeplanethi yeNASA; Usomajukujuku weNASA uJessica Watkins; UNick Wiltsie, umqhubi we-rover kaMars kwiLebhu ye-Jet Propulsion ye-NASA; kwaye UClara Ma , Umfundi ophumelele kwiDyunivesithi yaseCambridge kunye nomntu obize igama leCuriosity rover ngo-2009.

Ophumeleleyo uza kubhengezwa ekuqaleni kuka-Matshi kwaye uzakube esiya eKapa eKanafiki, eFlorida, ukuza kubukela ukumiselwa kweli hlobo. Kwincoko yabo, abokugqibela baye bathetha ngomdla wabo kwisayensi kwaye, ewe, babona i-rover ukuhlola iMars .

U-Oliver Jacobs wase-Arlington, eVirginia ucinga ukuba i-rover kufuneka ibizwa ngokuba ngu-Endurance. Ukunyamezela kwakuyinqanawa kaErnest Shackleton, inkokeli enkulu kunye nomnye wabahloli bokuqala baseAntarctic, wabhala kwisincoko sakhe. I-Antarctica kunye neMars zombini zinendawo engqwabalala engaxoleliyo kunye nokusingqongileyo… nokuba kwenzeka ntoni, uShackleton wanamathela kuyo.

Ndiyazi ukuba iqela le-NASA liyakwenza okufanayo kwimishini kaMars 2020, wongeze watsho.

UVaneeza Rupani waseAlabama ucinga ukuba i-rover kufuneka ihambe ngegama elahlukileyo: Ingenuity. Umoya kunye nomdla wabantu wasinika isizathu sokwenza into engakholelekiyo njengokuya kwiplanethi ebomvu, kodwa ubukrelekrele yinto eyenze olo hambo lwenzeka, wabhala kwisincoko sakhe. Ubukrelekrele kunye nokuqaqamba kwabantu abasebenza nzima ukoyisa imiceli mngeni yohambo lweplanethi yinto esivumela sonke ukuba sibenamava omhlaba wokuhlola indawo.

Ugqibezele isincoko sakhe esithi ubukrelekrele yinto esivumela ukuba sifeze izinto ezimangalisayo, kwaye yile nto kanye eza kwenziwa yile rover.
