I-NASA yabela i-2,7 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ukuze kwakhiwe iziphekepheke ezintathu zeOrion kuhambo lwenyanga

I-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ikhethe ikontraka yokwakha iziphekepheke ukuze iqhube imisebenzi yenyanga njengenxalenye yenkqubo ka-Artemis.

I-arhente yasemajukujukwini yanikezela ngekhontrakthi yokuvelisa kunye nokusebenza kwesiphekepheke se-Orion kwi-Lockheed Martin. Kuxelwa ukuba ukuveliswa kweziphekepheke zenkqubo ye-Orion, ekhokelwa yi-NASA ye-Lyndon Johnson Space Centre, iya kujoliswa ekusetyenzisweni ngokuphindaphindiweyo kunye nobukho obusisigxina kwindawo yenyanga.

Njengenxalenye yekhontrakthi, i-NASA iyalele iziphekepheke ezintathu ze-Orion ukusuka e-Lockheed ukuba zenze imisebenzi emithathu ye-Artemis (yesithathu ukuya kweyesihlanu) ngexabiso le-2,7 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngo-2022, i-arhente iceba uku-odola ezinye iziphekepheke ezintathu ze-Orion ngexabiso le-1,9 yeebhiliyoni zeedola.
