I-SpaceX kaBillionaire Elon Musk yenze ngempumelelo ukwethulwa kokuqala kwezentengiso kwemoto yokwethulwa kwe-Falcon Heavy.
Masikhumbule ukuthi i-Falcon Heavy ingenye yezimoto ezinkulu kunazo zonke emlandweni we-rocketry emhlabeni jikelele. Ingaletha amathani angu-63,8 wempahla emzileni ophansi woMhlaba, kanye namathani afinyelela kwangu-18,8 uma indiza iya ku-Mars.
Ukwethulwa kokuhlolwa kokuqala kwe-Falcon Heavy kwenziwa ngempumelelo ngoFebhuwari wonyaka odlule. Khona-ke imoto kagesi i-Tesla Roadster, ephethwe nguMnu. Musk, yenza njengomthwalo okhokhelwayo.
Kulokhu, i-rocket ye-Falcon Heavy yethulwe nge-payload yezohwebo - isathelayithi ye-Arabsat 6A yase-Saudi Arabia. Ukwethulwa kwenzeka ku-pad LC-39A, etholakala emagcekeni eKennedy Space Center (Florida).
Lokhu kwethulwa ngokungangabazeki kuzongena emlandweni wokuhlolwa komkhathi. Ngemuva kokwethulwa, i-SpaceX ikwazile ukubuyisela ngempumelelo ama-booster aseceleni kanye nesigaba sokuqala semoto yokwethulwa esinda kakhulu eMhlabeni. Ikakhulukazi, ama-booster afika ezindaweni ezikhethekile e-Cape Canaveral, futhi isigaba sokuqala sahlala endaweni yesikhulumi esintantayo "Impela Ngisakuthanda" e-Atlantic Ocean.
Ngakho-ke, ngokokuqala ngqΓ‘, kwakungenzeka ukwehlisa ngempumelelo amabhulokhi amathathu emoto yokwethulwa ngesikhathi esisodwa - manje azosetshenziswa ekuqalisweni okulandelayo, okuzonciphisa izindleko zokubeka umthwalo ku-orbit.
Isathelayithi ye-Arabsat 6A yethulwe ngempumelelo ku-orbit. Lolu cingo luklanyelwe ukuhlinzeka ngokufinyelela i-inthanethi ye-broadband, ukusakazwa komabonakude nomsakazo, ezokuxhumana ngomakhalekhukhwini kanye nezinye izinsiza zokuxhumana ngocingo eMpumalanga Ephakathi, e-Afrika naseYurophu.
Ngaleso sikhathi, i-SpaceX isivele yenze okungenani izinkontileka ezinhlanu zokusetshenziswa kwezentengiselwano imoto yokwethulwa kwe-Falcon Heavy Heavy super-heavy. Lokhu kufaka phakathi imisebenzi emithathu yezohwebo kanye nokwethulwa kwesathelayithi ye-US Air Force's Space Command-52.
Masiphinde sengeze ukuthi namuhla, Ephreli 12, usuku lweCosmonautics. Kwakungalolu suku ngo-1961 lapho usosmonaut waseSoviet u-Yuri Gagarin, emkhathini we-Vostok-1, enza indiza yokuqala emhlabeni ezungeza iplanethi yethu. Lokhu kwenzeka eminyakeni engu-58 edlule.
