I-SpaceX isungule iintlanganiso ze-19 Starlink ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.IsithubaX Ekupheleni kwangoMvulo ebusuku, i-SpaceX iphehlelele ibhetshi ye-19 yee-satellite ezingama-60 ze-Starlink kwi-orbit yoMhlaba. Kodwa okwenyukayo akuzange kwehle ngempumelelo, njengoko irokethi eyayithwele iisathelayithi isilele ukuhlala kwinqanawa ye-SpaceX yedrone ngexesha lokuchacha. Ngokuqinisekileyo yawela elwandle.
I-Falcon 9 booster ephethe i-60 Star satellites iphakanyisiwe ukusuka eKapa eKapa isiKhululo soMkhosi waseFlorida eFlorida ngo-10: 59 ebusuku. EST. Malunga nemizuzu esithoba kamva, inqanaba lokuqala lerokethi labuyela eMhlabeni lijolise kwiKhosi endisayithandayo yeqonga lokufika kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantic. Imifanekiso yekhamera evela kwinqanawa ye-drone iphakamise ukuba iinjini ze-booster zisenokuba ziye zaqubisana nomcimbi kufutshane nokuphela kokutsha kokumisa, kubangele ukuba iphoswe kwithagethi.
Kubonakala ngathi khange sibeke i-booster yethu 'Ewe kunjalo ndisakuthanda' ngokuhlwanje, utshilo injineli yemveliso ye-SpaceX uJessica Anderson ngexesha lomsitho. Kulusizi ukuba singaphindanga sayifumana le nyuselo. Kodwa inqanaba lethu lesibini lisekwindlela yokuhamba ngegama.
Inqanaba lesibini le-Falcon 9 lafikelela kwi-orbit malunga nemizuzu engama-45 emva kokuphakanyiswa njengoko bekucwangcisiwe kwaye kwahanjiswa i-60 Star satellites kwimizuzu engama-20 kamva. Isiqingatha se-rocket's payload fairings, esaziwa njenge-nose cone, safunyanwa ngempumelelo, u-CEO we-SpaceX u-Elon Musk uqinisekisile kwi-Twitter ekuseni ngoLwesibini.

I-SpaceX ayikatsho ukuba yintoni kanye kanye ebangele ukungcola kokufika. Umlandeli we-SpaceX kwi-Twitter wabona amatyhalarha amathathu exhonywe kwimizuzu yeenqanawa zedrone ngaphambi kokuchukunyiswa kwerocket rock kwaye wabuza ukuba ngaba iSpaceX sikunikezele ngabom na ukubuyisela intaka. Inkampani ayiphendulanga.
Elon, ndabona ulwandle kwi-OCISLY ngaphambi nje kokuba i-B1059 kufanele ukuba ihle.

I-booster elahlekileyo kwimishini yayingu-B1059. Ukuhanjiswa kweStarlink kwakusisihlandlo sesithandathu. Ngaphambi koko, i-Falcon 9 yayibaleke imishini emibini ye-Dragon cargo kwi-International Space Station (ngo-Disemba 2019 nango-Matshi 2020), i-Starlink mission ngoJuni, i-satellite ejonge umhlaba e-Argentina ngo-Agasti kunye ne-spy satellite mission ye Urhulumente wase-US ngoDisemba.
Kwakuyi-SpaceX yokuqala ye-Falcon 9 ukusilela kokufika ukusukela kwimishini yesithandathu ye-Starlink ngo-Matshi 2020. Kude kube ngoMvulo, inkampani ibifumene ngempumelelo i-24 Falcon 9 yamanqanaba okuqala ngokulandelelana. Ukuba i-B1059 ayiphoswanga kwithagethi, yayiya kuphawula i-SpaceX's 75's rocket rocking jikelele.
Umsebenzi wangoMvulo uzise inani elipheleleyo leesathelayithi ze-Starlink kwi-orbit ukuya kwi-1081. Kamva kule veki, enye inqwelomoya ye-Starlink icwangciselwe ukuba inyuke ngeFalcon 9 eyahlukileyo evela kwiziko leKennedy Space kwangoko ngoLwesithathu.
