I-Starship SN9 ilungele uvavanyo oluphezulu kwindawo yovavanyo ye-SpaceX yeBoca Chica.RGVAerialPhotography / Twitter I-SpaceX's Starship prototype entsha, i-SN9, ikumgangatho wokuya kolunye uvavanyo lwenqwelomoya ophakamileyo ngokukhawuleza nje ngoLwesibini kulandela uvavanyo olufezekileyo lwe-SN8 ngoDisemba.
I-SN9 ifumene uthotho lweemvavanyo zomlilo ezimileyo kwiiveki ezidlulileyo kwaye ibicwangciselwe ukwazisa ngoMvulo. Kodwa, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, uvavanyo lwachithwa ngomzuzu wokugqibela ngenxa yomoya onamandla kufutshane nendawo yokuqalisa eBoca Chica, eTexas.
I-SN9 yiprototype yesithoba ye-SpaceX yekamva le-Mars-colonization spacecraftcraft. Inguqulelo yokugqibela yeStarship iya kuba neenjini ezintandathu zeRaptor kwaye ibenakho ukuzazisa ngokwabo isuka kuMars nakwinyanga. (Ukubalekela amandla omxhuzulane woMhlaba, iStartship iyakudinga ukwaziswa sisikhulisi esibizwa ngokuba yiSuper Heavy nge-30 Raptor engine.)

Njengo-SN8, i-SN9 ine-injini ezintathu kuphela. Injongo kukubhabha kubude be-suborbital ye-8 yeekhilomitha (i-12.5 yeekhilomitha), malunga nokuphakama okufanayo njengeenqwelomoya, kwaye ubuye eMhlabeni kubunye. Kuvavanyo lukaDisemba, i-SN8 prototype yafezekisa yonke injongo yenqwelomoya kunye nokuqokelelwa kwedatha kodwa yaqhushumba kwimizuzwana yokugqibela yokufika okunzima.
I-Starship sesona sithuba siphezulu sakha sakhiwa yi-SpaceX. Isilinda enamaphiko engenazintsimbi iphantse ibe ziimitha ezingama-50 ubude (50 eemitha) engenanto iphantse yazaliswa ngesixhobo esichaphazela amanzi. Ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwe-SN8 yayisisiganeko esikhulu kwaye kwaphakamisa ithemba ngenqwelomoya ye-orbital ngumboniso wexesha elizayo weStarship.
Ngokubhekisele kwi-SN9, ngelixa kungekho mntu unokuxela ukuba uvavanyo luza kuhamba njani, abathanda indawo kwi-intanethi benze unikezelo olucacileyo lokuba inqwelomoya elungileyo iza kujongeka njani kunye neenkcukacha zokusebenza ngaphakathi kwesiphekepheke.
Umzekelo, le mizuzu mithathu yoopopayi yiC-bass Productions kwiYouTube ibonakalisa yonke inqwelomoya ye-SN9, ukusuka ekuhambeni ukuya kwinjini ekuvaleni.
Le, ikwakhona yiC-bass Productions, ibonisa intshukumo yepetroli (iblue yioksijini engamanzi kunye nobomvu yimethane) ngexesha lenqwelomoya.
Olu nikezelo oluneenkcukacha ngakumbi (olwenziwe nguKimi Talvitie kwi-Twitter) lubonisa indlela i-yaw, i-pitch kunye ne-roll yolawulo esebenza ngayo kulungelelwaniso lwe-Raptor-injini ngaphakathi kweStarship ngexesha lenqwelomoya.
I-pitch epheleleyo, i-yaw kunye nolawulo lokuqengqeleka kathathu #Umxhasi iinjini. Ngelixa le-15 yedig yokuhamba ngaphandle kweentsimbi ezinqamlezayo, nkqu nakwiseto sokuqengqeleka @elonmusk @iqosweb @AlitaArmy pic.twitter.com/3dX526Skr2

Kwaye ukuba izinto azihambi njengoko bekulindelwe, oopopayi abadala (kunye nabahlekisayo) ngeendlela ezininzi i-SN8 enokufika ngayo isebenza njengesalathiso esiluncedo kwinto enokwenzeka kwi-SN9 kule veki.
Masihambe SN8! (Zininzi izinto ezinokwenzeka ngomso, kodwa ukubheja kwam kubhabha ngenqwelomoya, ukuba akunjalo- baya kufunda itoni). pic.twitter.com/Za3pOPgedr
