I-European Space Agency (ESA) ikuqinisekisile okubikiwe ngaphambilini , ibika ukuthi olunye uvivinyo lwamapharashuthi azosetshenziswa kumishini yaseRussia-European ExoMars 2020 lwehlulekile ngesonto eledlule, kwabeka engcupheni uhlelo lwalo msebenzi.
Njengengxenye yokuhlolwa okuhleliwe ngaphambi kokwethulwa komkhankaso, ukuhlolwa okuningana kwamapharashuthi omhlanzi kwenziwa endaweni yokuhlola i-Esrange yeSweden Space Corporation (SSC).
Ukuhlolwa kokuqala kwenzeka ngonyaka odlule futhi kwabonisa ukuthunyelwa ngempumelelo kwe-parachute enkulu kunazo zonke ngesikhathi sokufika komthwalo okhokhelwayo othunyelwe usuka endizeni enophephela emhlane usuka endaweni eyi-1,2 km. Ububanzi bepharashuti elikhulu ngamamitha angama-35. Ipharashuti elikhulu kunawo wonke ake asetshenziselwa umkhankaso we-Mars.
Ngomhla zingama-28 kuNhlaba walo nyaka, uvivinyo olulandelayo lwesimiso sepharashuti lwenzeka, lapho ngokokuqala ngqa ukulandelana kokuthunyelwa kwawo wonke amapharashuthi amane kwahlolwa ngesikhathi sehla imodeli isuka endaweni ephakeme engama-29 km, yalethwa ku-stratosphere kusetshenziswa i- ibhaluni le-helium.
Ukuhlola kuthathwe njengokungaphumeleli ngenxa yomonakalo kuwo womabili ama-canopies amapharashuthi amakhulu. Ithimba lemishini lenze intuthuko ohlelweni lwepharashuti futhi lenza olunye uvivinyo ngo-Agasti 5, kulokhu ligxile epharashuthi elikhudlwana elinobubanzi obungamamitha angama-35.
Ngokohlaziyo lokuqala, izigaba zokuqala zokuhlola ipharashuti zihambe kahle, nokho, njengoba esivivinyweni sangaphambilini, umonakalo ubonakale ku-canopy yeparachute ngisho nangaphambi kokwehla kwamandla emali. Ngenxa yalokho, ukwehla okuqhubekayo kwenziwa kuphela ngosizo lwe-chute yomshayeli, okwaholela ekubhujisweni kwemodeli.
