I-elektroni yeLebhu yeLebhu kwiphedi yokwazisa eNew Zealand ngaphambi kokuba undiyeke ngoku.ILebhu yeRocket Umceli mngeni okhulayo weSpaceX Rocket Lab iyazingca ngokwenza iirokethi ezincinci, ezingabizi mali kunye neesathelayithi. Kodwa inamabhongo amakhulu okubeka ezi zinto zincinci zesiphekepheke ekusebenziseni iiplanethi. Emva kokutshixa ikhontrakthi yokuthumela iphenyo encinci eNyangeni yeNASA kamva kulo nyaka kunye neprojekthi yangaphakathi yokufuna ubomi eVenus, iRocket Rock yabhengeza uLwesibini ukuba iphumelele enye ikhontrakthi yokuthumela ezimbini zeziphekepheke zayo zeNASA zeNASA inzululwazi yesayensi kuMars ngo-2024.
Ikhontrakthi, eyanikezelwa yiLebhu yaseYunivesithi yaseCalifornia Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory (UCBSSL) phantsi kwenkqubo ye-NASA ye-Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration (SIMPLEx), ikhomishini yeRocket Rock ukuyila kwaye mhlawumbi yakhe iziphekepheke ezimbini ze-Escape kunye nePlasma Acceleration kunye neDynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE Uthumo lokufunda i-Magnetosphere ye-hybride eyahlukileyo ukuze uyiqonde indlela imozulu etshintsha ngayo ekuhambeni kwexesha.
Le yimishini ethembisayo enkulu eya kuthi izise isayensi enkulu kwiphakeji encinci. Imishini yesayensi yeplanethi ngokwesiko ixabise amakhulu ezigidi zeedola kwaye yathatha ukuya kwishumi leminyaka ukuba izalisekise, utshilo umphathi weRocket Lab uPeter Beck kwingxelo. Isiphekepheke sethu se-Photon se-ESCAPADE siza kubonisa indlela engabizi kakhulu ekuhloleni iiplanethi eziza kwandisa ukufikelela kuluntu lwezenzululwazi kwinkqubo yethu yelanga ngcono.
I-Photon yibhasi yesathelayithi malunga nobungakanani be-oveni yekhitshi. Inokuthwala ukuya kwiikhilogram ezingama-40 (88 iiponti) zemithwalo yokuhlawula kuhambo lwangaphakathi. Inkqubo yeenqwelo-moya ezingamawele iza kuphehlelelwa eMars ikhwele isithuthi esisungulwe yi-NASA ngo-2024. I-Rocket Lab inethemba lokuba ingaziphuhlisela eyayo Ukunyusa i-neutron , irokethi esekwe kubungakanani obuphakathi esebenza kwakhona (malunga nesibini kwisithathu ukuphakama kwe-SpaceX Falcon 9), ngexesha lomsebenzi.
Isivumelwano seMars siphawula esinye isiganeko esibalulekileyo kumbono weRocket Rock ukwenza iintlanganiso zamaplanethi zifikeleleke kwaye zifikeleleke kuluntu ngokubanzi lwenzululwazi.
Ukuhlisa iindleko zokuthunywa kwamaplanethi, kunye nokubenza ukuba kwenzeke ngexesha elifutshane kakhulu, kunempembelelo enkulu kumthamo wenzululwazi esinokuyenza, u-Beck uxelele i-Braganca nge-imeyile. Kuqhelekile ukuba izazinzulu zeplanethi zifumane umsebenzi omnye okanye emibini emikhulu esungulwe kwikhondo labo lomsebenzi, ubukhulu becala ngenxa yeendleko zemishini, kwaye oko kuyatshintsha kunye nePhoton.
Uye wongeza, Ngokuthumela uninzi lweentlanganiso ezincinci rhoqo, endaweni yesifundo esinye esiphambili kwishumi leminyaka, izazinzulu zinokuphindaphinda kwiziphumo njengoko sihamba, silungelelanisa, kwaye emva koko similisele imishini elandelayo. Iindidi zenzululwazi eziya kufezekiswa yile mishini yokwaphula umhlaba, ukusuka ekufuneni ubomi kwiatmosfera yeVenus ukuya ekuqondeni ukuba imozulu itshintsha njani eMars.
I-Rocket Lab isetelwe ukuba ihambe esidlangalaleni eNasdaq kamva kule nyanga ngokudibana nenkampani yokufumana injongo ekhethekileyo yokufumana iVector Acquisition kwisivumelwano esixabisa ukuqala kwesithuba se- $ 4.1 yezigidigidi.
