Emva kokuphumelela yeFalcon Heavy rocket, i-SpaceX okokuqala ikwazile ukubamba inxalenye yempumlo. Ulwakhiwo ludityaniswe kwi-hull kwaye lwadada kakuhle lubuyela kumphezulu woMhlaba, apho lwabanjwa kumnatha okhethekileyo ofakwe kwisikhephe.
I-rocket yempumlo ye-rocket yi-bulbous structure ekhusela i-satellites ebhodini ngexesha lokuqala lokunyuka. Ngelixa ikwindawo engaphandle, i-fairing yahlulwe yangamacandelo amabini, ngalinye libuyela kumphezulu weplanethi. Ngokuqhelekileyo iindawo ezinjalo azifanelanga ukuphinda zisetyenziswe. Nangona kunjalo, i-CEO ye-SpaceX u-Elon Musk wayenomdla ekufumaneni indlela yokubamba iindawo ezihamba kakuhle ngaphambi kokuba zibethe emanzini olwandle, ezinokuthi zibe nefuthe elibi kwi-rocket element.
Ukuphumeza olu sukelo, inkampani yathenga iphenyane elibizwa ngokuba “nguNksk. Tree" (igama lokuqala uMnu. Steven) kwaye wayixhobisa inqanawa ngemiqadi emine, phakathi kwayo kukho umnatha omkhulu woluliwe. Isiqingatha ngasinye se-fairing sixhotyiswe ngenkqubo yesikhokelo evumela ukuba ibuyele eMhlabeni, kunye neenjini ezidibeneyo kunye neeparashute ezikhethekileyo ezisetyenziselwa ukulawula ukuhla.
Omnye kaMnu. Iimvavanyo zokugqibela zikaSteven zeWest Coast fairing recovery ngaphambi kokuba zithunyelwe kuNxweme lwaseMpuma. Yilinde...

Inkampani iye yavavanya inkqubo yokubambisa i-fairing ukususela ekuqaleni konyaka ophelileyo, kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ayikwazanga ukubamba indawo enye ye-fairing, nangona abaninzi baye balotywa ngaphandle kwamanzi emva kokufika. Ngoku inkampani iphumelele okokuqala ekufezekiseni isicwangciso sayo, ibambe inxalenye yekhowuni ngaphambi kokuba ibethe emanzini.
Ukulunga kuya kuthi emva koko kuvavanyelwe ukufaneleka kokusetyenziswa kukuqaliswa kwakhona. Ekubeni inxalenye ayizange ichukumise amanzi, kunokucingelwa ukuba iingcali ze-SpaceX ziya kukwazi ukulungisa izinto ze-hardware zepaneli ukuze zisetyenziswe ngakumbi. Ukuba kwixesha elizayo inkampani iyaqhubeka nokubamba izinto zerokhethi ezibuyisiweyo kwinethiwekhi, ke le ndlela iya kuvumela ukonga okubalulekileyo.
