Mumavhiki anouya, satellite opareta Planet iri kushandisa SpaceX Falcon 9 roketi kutumira matatu madiki masatellite pamwe chete ne60 Starlink internet satellite. Saka, Planet ichave yekutanga muSpaceX's mini-satellite co-launch chirongwa.
Satellite matatu eSkySat achabatana neboka renyeredzi rePlanet's low-Earth orbit, iro parizvino rine masisitimu gumi neshanu, rimwe nerimwe rinenge saizi yemuchina wekuwachisa. Aya ma satellite ari kuita zvekutora mifananidzo yePasi mune yakakwirira resolution. Planet inoronga kuwedzera mamwe matanhatu setiraiti kungarava dzayo: matatu sechikamu chekuuya kweFalcon 15 kutanga, uye mamwe matatu neFalcon 9 kuvhurwa kubva kuStarlink muna Chikunguru.
Ino haisi nguva yekutanga Planet yatanga satellites paFalcon 9 rocket. Iyo kambani yakatanga ma satellite manomwe, kusanganisira maviri SkySats, achishandisa Falcon 9 muna December 2018. Kuvhurwa uku, kwaizivikanwa seSSO-A mission, kwaive kutanga-kukuru, kutakura masatelliti makumi matanhatu nemana kubva kumakambani akasiyana paroketi rimwe chete. Mumiriri mumunhu weSpaceflight akaronga kuvhurwa, asi ikozvino SpaceX iri kushanda zvakananga nemapato anofarira.
Basa neSpaceX rave nekubudirira, Planet inodaro. "Chimwe chezvinhu changa chakanakira kushanda neSpaceX ndechekuti vanoshanda pamwe chete nePlaneti," Mike Safyan, mutevedzeri wemutungamiri wePlanet kuvhurwa kwesatellite, akaudza The Verge. "Tese tinoshanda nekukurumidza uye kuita zvinhu zvakawanda isu pachedu, izvo zvinotitendera kuti tikurumidze kuita mabasa kana tichienzanisa nemapurojekiti emuchadenga." Sekureva kwemusoro, mwedzi mitanhatu chete yapfuura kubva panguva yekusaina chibvumirano neSpaceX kusvika pakuvhurwa.
Planet yakanga ine zvakasiyana-siyana zveSpaceX zvokutanga kusarudza kubva, VaSafian vakati: Kambani yaElon Musk ine mvumo yekupa ma satellites anenge 12 munzvimbo yeStarlink constellation, yakagadzirirwa kuendesa network ye satellite yeInternet access. Kuti iite chirongwa ichi, SpaceX iri kutanga yayo Starlink satellite mumapoka makumi matanhatu, nendege yega yega muna 000 ichiitika kamwechete pamwedzi. Izvi zvinovhura mikana yakakura kumakambani madiki anoda kutora chikamu mukutangwa kwe "trailer". Nenzira, chirongwa cheSpaceX chekushandiswa kwemitero nemakambani echitatu chinopa mubhadharo we60 chete pa2020 kg.
"Kana zvasvika pakuparura masatelliti madiki, iwe kazhinji unofanirwa kusarudza imwe mishoni wobva wangomirira mamwe makambani kuchengetedza mubhadharo wavo wakazvipira," akadaro Mr. Safyan. - Dzimwe nguva tiri kutaura nezve kunonoka kweimwe 3, 6, 9 uye kunyange 12 mwedzi. Izvi zvakakosha chaizvo. Izvo zviri kutaurwa, SpaceX iri kuvhura mabheti matsva eStarlink kazhinji, uye tarisiro yekutenderera yakanakira SkySats yedu. "
Masetelliti matatu achagara pamusoro peboka re 60 Starlink satellites mu Falcon 9 nose cone. Nekuparurwa kweaya matatu uye matatu anotevera SkySats, Planet ichapa vatengi mukana mutsva wekutora mifananidzo yenzvimbo dzakananga paNyika kusvika ka12. zuva.
Planet iri kutsvagawo kuwedzera kugadzirisa kwemifananidzo yayo. Mumwedzi mitanhatu yapfuura, yakatungamira mushandirapamwe wekudzikisa kukwirira kwemasatelliti ayo eSkySat kuti avaswedere pedyo nePasi. Izvi zvakabatsira kuvandudza kugadziriswa kwemifananidzo kubva pa80 cm papixel kusvika 50 cm papixel.
