I-CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA-MEYI 30: Kulo mfanekiso wesithuba se-SpaceX, irokethi eyi-Falcon 9 ephethe inkampani ye-Crew Dragon spacecraft yazisa kwi-Demo-2 mission kwi-International Space Station kunye noosomajukujuku be-NASA uRobert Behnken noDouglas Hurley ebhodini kuLaunch Complex 39A Meyi Ngomhla wama-30, 2020, kwiziko lezithuba laseKennedy, eFlorida.I-SpaceX nge-Getty Izithombe Isithembiso sokubhabha esibhakabhakeni kwezorhwebo-uhambo oluya eMhlabeni-orbit, okanye iiholide eNyangeni-kudala yaba luphawu lokuba ikamva eliyimpumelelo kufanele ukuba libe njani. Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kwemizamo yeenkampani zabucala, ezi zorhwebo zinazo ayizange ibe yinto ebonakalayo .
Ubuncinane bekunjalo de kwasekuqaleni kule veki xa i-SpaceX, ibambisene ne-NASA, iphumeze ngempumelelo oosomajukujuku ababini, uDouglas Hurley noRobert Behnken, kwimishini eya kwi-International Space Station. Kwakungekho kuphela okokuqala inkampani yorhwebo ebafaka abantu emajukujukwini, yayikokokuqala ukuba oosomajukujuku basungule kumhlaba waseMelika ukusukela ukuphela kwenkqubo yokuhamba ngo-2011.
Ukusukela loo mishini, iinkonzo zokumiliselwa zibonelelwe ngurhulumente kunye neearhente zorhwebo, kodwa zonke Iinkonzo zabasebenzi zenziwa ngeRussia Soyuz , njengoko iUnited States yayingenayo inkqubo yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya. Yiloo nto i-Demo-2 mission kunye ne-Crew Dragon yezobugcisa enenjongo yokulungisa, ukuzisa ukumiliselwa kunye nokuhanjiswa koosomajukujuku baseMelika babuyela eUnited States.
I-mission, i-Crew Dragon Demo-2, isungulwe kusetyenziswa irokethi ye-Falcon 9 kwiziko leKennedy Space eMerrit Island, eFlorida. Phezulu kwerokethi kwakuhleli ubugcisa obutsha, obungazange buqhutywe ngabantu, iCrew Dragon C206.
Kakade, i-mission ijongwa njengempumelelo. ICrew Dragon iphakamise ngempumelelo emva kwemini ngoMeyi 30 kwaye yahambisa abasebenzi-abantu ababini kwi-ISS kwiiyure ezilishumi elinethoba kamva.
Ngelixa ukumiliselwa yayingumzuzu onomdla, ukuzisa izigidi zababukeli, yayisisiqalo nje semishini, enye engayi kuba yimpumelelo de oosomajukujuku babuyele bekhuselekile eMhlabeni.
Eyona njongo iphambili yeDemo-2 kukusebenza njenge uvavanyo lokugqibela lwenqwelomoya Iinkqubo zeenqwelomoya ezitshisiweyo zeSpaceX ngaphambi kokuba iNASA iqinisekise ukuba iyasebenza.
Iimvavanyo zangaphambili zibandakanyiwe uvavanyo lokuphelisa isisu, uvavanyo lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, uvavanyo lokukhupha inqwelomoya, kunye neDemo-1, eyavavanya ubugcisa beCrew Dragon, esebenza ngokuzimela ngaphandle kweqela labasebenzi njengoko labhabha laya kwi-ISS, labekwa emngxunyeni, labuyela eMhlabeni.
Nje ukuba zonke ezi mvavanyo zenziwe ngempumelelo, ibhokisi yokugqibela eya kuphawula yayikukujonga ukuba ingaba iyakwazi na ukuthwala oosomajukujuku ukuya emajukujukwini ize ibabuyise, umbuzo iDemo-2 umiselwe ukuphendula.
Kodwa le mishini ayikho lula njengokubhabha nge-ISS kwaye ubuye.

Ukuze kuqinisekiswe iCrew Dragon kwimisebenzi yokusebenza, uHurley noBehnken kufuneka benze uvavanyo oluninzi kwinqanawa.
Ezinye zezi sele zenziwe. Ubugcisa benzelwe ukubhabha ngokuzimela, kodwa ulawulo lwencwadana luyafumaneka kwimeko yokusilela kwenkqubo.
Ukuze kuvavanywe ulawulo lwencwadi, abasebenzi bakhubaza inqwelomoya ezizimeleyo kwindlela eya kwi-ISS kwaye baqhuba inqanawa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ulawulo lwencwadi.
I-Crew Dragon yabuyiselwa kwinqwelo moya eyayizimeleyo yaza yavunyelwa ukuba yenze i-ISS phantsi kolawulo lwayo.
Ngoku sebefikile, uHurley kunye no-Behnken baya kuhlala ngaphakathi kwi-ISS ukuya kuthi ga kwiiveki ezili-16, okoko nje le nguqulo yeCrew Dragon ilinganiswe ngendiza yesibhakabhaka.
Ixesha elipheleleyo lokuthunywa alikabikho, kuxhomekeke kwinani lezinto , kubandakanya indlela iDemo-2 ebambe ngayo kakuhle ngexesha lokubaleka kwayo ukuya kwi-ISS kunye nenkqubela phambili kwiCrew Dragon elandelayo.

Emva kokuqinisekiswa yi-NASA, inguqu yokusebenza kwesithuthi iya kuba nakho ukuthwala oosomajukujuku abaphindwe kabini kwaye ihlale kumjikelezo wayo kabini ubude. Iya kuba nomthamo weempahla owandisiweyo.
Ngenxa yexesha elingaqondakaliyo lomsebenzi, ukongeza kwiinjongo eziphambili zomsebenzi wokuvavanya ubugcisa, uBob noDoug baqeqeshelwa ukunceda i-Expedition 63 ekwenzeni ulingelo oluqhubekayo lwezenzululwazi kunye nemisebenzi kwi-ISS.
Injongo enye enokubakho kukutshintsha ukutshintshwa kweebhetri zenkqubo yamandla esitishi.
UKUYA Ukuthunyelwa kwemithwalo yaseJapan Uqalise ngoMeyi 20, uhambise iseti yeebhetri ze-lithium-ion ukubuyisela iibhetri ezindala ezinika amandla i-ISS.
Ukufaka ezi bhetri kungathatha ii-EVAs ezine ukuya kwezintlanu, ngokukaKenny Todd, usekela-mphathi wenkqubo ye-ISS ye-NASA. Akucaci ukuba ngubani oza kulwenza olu hambo lokuhamba emajukujukwini, kodwa uBehnken, ogqibe iindawo ezintandathu zokuhamba ngexesha lohambo ngenqwelomoya, waye waqeqeshelwa lo msebenzi.
Okwangoku, kuyavavanywa impilo yolungelelwaniso lwelanga kwiCrew Dragon capsule, umlinganiso ophambili wokumisela imeko yobugcisa.
ICrew Dragon iya kunikwa amandla veki nganye ukumisela ukuhamba kolo lungelelwaniso lwelanga. Kungoko kuphela apho i-NASA iya kuba nakho ukuqala ukwenza izigqibo malunga nokuba uza kugcina ixesha elingakanani ubugcisa be-orbit.
Abasebenzi baya kuvavanya unxibelelwano kwaye baqinisekise ukuba iCrew Dragon iyakwazi ukusebenza njengephenyane lokusindisa abantu, ukuba kuye kwakho imfuneko yoko.
Ngamafutshane, abasebenzi baya kubeka i-Crew Dragon ngeendlela zayo, baqinisekise ukuba iyakwazi ukusebenza njengeyona ndlela ikhuselekileyo nethembekileyo yokuhanjiswa kwabasebenzi ukuya nokubuya kwi-ISS.
Ukuba konke kuhamba kakuhle, ukusebenza kweCrew Dragon kulungiselelwe ukuba kuphehlelelwe ukuphela kuka-Agasti, bephethe oosomajukujuku abane abavela kwi-NASA kunye ne-JAXA, iarhente yendawo yaseJapan.
Ngelixa ubude kunye nohlobo lwentsalela yedemo-2 ye-mission ihlala ihamba, injongo enye ebalulekileyo sele yenziwe , ukuxhonywa kweflegi yaseMelika enobungakanani betshefu.
Iflegi leyo yashiywa ngaphakathi kwi-ISS ngexesha lokugqibela lokuhamba ngo-2011 ngesithembiso sokuba kufuneka ihlale kude kubuyiselwe amandla e-United States.
Apho ibilinde khona, kule minyaka ili-9 idlulileyo, ukuba ibangwe ngumntu.
Ukufika kwabasebenzi beDemo-2 kwi-ISS, uDoug Hurley wayithatha iflegi, inqaku lesibongo, njengoko wayeyinxalenye yeqela elalishiya ngasemva. Uya kuyibuyisela eMhlabeni xa efika ekhaya, ngamanye amaxesha kwiiveki ezi-6 ukuya kwezi-16 ezizayo. Ngayo, iya kubuyisa ulwazi lokuba iUnited States inokuphinda ithumele oosomajukujuku emajukujukwini kwaye ibabuyisele bekhuselekile emhlabeni.
