I-SpaceX's SN9 kunye ne-SN10 zime ecaleni komnye kwindawo yovavanyo yaseBoca China.Elon Musk / Twitter Emva kokulinda ixesha elide evekini kwindawo yokumiliselwa eBoca Chica, i-SpaceX's SN9 rocket, uhlobo lwesithoba lweStarship, ekugqibeleni yaphakanyiswa ngenqwelomoya yayo yokuvavanya ukuphakama okuphezulu kwe-10km ngoLwesibini emva kwemini.
I-booster ye-stainless steel booster eyi-165-inyawo (50 yeemitha) yenyuka ngeekhilomitha ezili-10 (6.2 yeemayile) esibhakabhakeni saseMzantsi Texas yaza yaphakama kuloo ndawo kangangengomzuzu ngaphambi kokuba yehle. Ngelishwa, i-SN9 iphindaphinde ikamva le-SN8 yayo yaza yaqhuma kwimpembelelo yayo kwimizuzwana yokugqibela yomhlaba onzima.
Uvavanyo lweSN9 lwalucwangciselwe uJanuwari. Kodwa i-SpaceX ibinobunzima ekufumaneni isigunyaziso senqwelomoya esivela kwi-Federal Aviation Administration ngenxa yenkqubo yokuphonononga ixesha elide ngokungaqhelekanga kunye nophando olufanayo malunga nokwaphula imigaqo yenkampani yemigaqo yenqwelomoya ngexesha lovavanyo lwayo lokugqibela lweStarship ngeSN8 ngoDisemba.
I-SN8 yayingumboniso wokuqala weSparkship SpaceX esetyenziselwa ukubhabha okuphezulu. Uvavanyo luhambe ngokutyibilikayo ngexesha lokuphakama kunye nokunyuka kwaye kwafikelelwa ngempumelelo kubude obumalunga ne-7.8 yeekhilomitha (i-12.5 yeekhilomitha) ngaphambi kokuba yehle ngokukhawuleza kwaye yaqhuma ekumiseni komhlaba.
Inkunkuma eninzi ikhatywa kwi-injini yesibini kwakhona ngexesha lokukhaba. Ukuya phambili kwaye uthi ayilunganga ncam #iqhelekileyo … Kodwa akukho nxalenye incinci 🤯 #Starship # SN9 pic.twitter.com/ujD3Mr8bGF
