Zvinyorwa zvepamhepo zvinoshuma kuti American space agency NASA yakasarudza kontrakta wekutanga ane chekuita nekuvaka kweLunar Gateway space station, iyo inofanirwa kuoneka mune ramangwana pedyo neMwedzi. Maxar Technologies ichagadzira gwenya remagetsi uye zvimwe zvinhu zveamangwana chiteshi.
Izvi zvakaziviswa neMutungamiriri weNASA, Jim Bridenstine, uyo akasimbisa kuti panguva ino kugara kwevazivi venyeredzi paMwedzi kuchatora nguva refu. Akatsanangurawo chiteshi chemangwana, icho chichave chiri munzvimbo yakakwirira elliptical orbit, semhando ye "command module" inogona kushandiswa zvakare.
Zvinoenderana nehurongwa hweNASA hwekumhara paMwedzi muna 2024, chiteshi ichi chichashandiswa senzvimbo yepakati. Kutanga, vazivi venyeredzi vanozounzwa kubva kuPasi kuenda kuchiteshi chemwedzi, uye chete ipapo, vachishandisa yakakosha module, ivo vanozokwanisa kuenda pamusoro pe satellite uye kumashure. Zvakakosha kuziva kuti chirongwa cheLunar Gateways chakatanga kuvandudzwa pasi peMutungamiri Obama, asi chakazoonekwa sechitubu chaizobatsira vanoongorora nyeredzi kuenda kuMars. Zvisinei, nekupinda pachigaro kwemutungamiri mutsva, chirongwa chacho chakatariswa zvakare pakuongorora Mwedzi.
Kana iri yekudyidzana kwakaziviswa neMaxar Technologies, tiri kutaura nezverubatsiro rwemamiriyoni emadhora 375. Vamiriri vekambani vanoti chirongwa ichi chichaitwa pamwe chete neBlue Origin neDraper. Izvi zvinogona kureva kuti Blue Origin's heavy-duty New Glenn yekumisikidza mota ichashandiswa kutumira iyo propulsion system, inorema ingangoita matani mashanu. Sarudzo yemotokari yekutanga inofanira kuitwa mugore rinotevera nehafu. Zvinoenderana nehurongwa hwakarongwa, gwenya remagetsi rinofanira kutumirwa muchadenga muna 5.
