Na-emepụta ụzọ n’elu kpakpando, Defens Innovation Unit (DIU) na-enyocha ikike mgbanwe nke SpaceX’s Starship maka in-space refueling. Gary Henry, onye bụbu onye isi SpaceX na onye ndụmọdụ senior na DIU, ekwuputala ọhụụ a na-adọrọ adọrọ maka netwọk «tanker» Starships. Chee echiche banyere nke a: ebe nchekwa refueling interstellar na-emegharị, ebe ndị a na-enye mmiri oxygen na methane na spacecraft ndị na-agba ọsọ, na-eme ka njem n’elu igwe bụrụ nke a na-apụghị ịghọta site na ịkwalite ọsọ ha site na kilomita itoolu kwa nkeji. Ihu ọma ndị a nwere ike ime ka ụzọ pụta na ebe ndị ọzọ na-adịghị mma.
Otu a, nke a na-enyere aka site na nghọta a nwetara n’oge Henry’s na SpaceX, na-achọ ịkwado ike ndị agha n’elu igwe. Ma, ọ bụghị na-enweghị ihe isi ike. Mmefu ego na-atụ anya na Space Force na-eme ka ndị a na-emegharị agbagha.
Ma, ọhụụ DIU anaghị akwụsị na nkwụsị solar system. Ha na-emegharịkwa echiche maka «responsive space delivery» site na Starship, na-ebufe ibu azụ na Earth na ọsọ dị egwu, na-emegharị logistics n’elu nnukwu oghere.
Ihe ị ga-ewepụ? Ịmepụta teknụzụ azụmaahịa dị ka SpaceX’s Starship nwere ikike mgbanwe – ọ bụghị naanị maka ịkwalite nchọpụta kamakwa iji kwado ike mbipụta nke mba. Ka cosmos na-akpọ, ndị nọ n’ịchepụta na njedebe nwere ike ịnweta ike n’ichepụta na-emegharị na oge ọhụụ n’elu igwe.
Ọdịnihu nke njem n’elu igwe: Iwepụta mgbanwe refueling Starship
Kedu ka SpaceX’s Starship nwere ike ịgbanwe in-space refueling?
SpaceX’s Starship nwere ikike ịgbanwe in-space refueling nke ukwuu, echiche nke bụbu naanị na sayensị fiction. Site na ịmepụta netwọk nke «tanker» Starships pụrụ iche, a ga-enyefe spacecraft na propellants dị mkpa dị ka mmiri oxygen na methane mgbe ha nọ na orbit. Ihu ọma a nwere ike ịbawanye ọsọ nke ụfọdụ ọrụ site na kilomita itoolu kwa nkeji, na-eme ka ebe ndị na-adịghị enwe ike n’elu igwe bụrụ nke a na-enweta.
Na mgbakwunye, usoro a nwere ike ịkwalite mgbanwe ọrụ na belata ụgwọ ọrụ nke njem n’elu igwe ogologo oge. Ka ebe refueling na-adị na orbit, spacecraft nwere ike ịmalite na ibu ọkụ dị mfe, na-eme ka ikike ibu na-aba ụba ma na-ebelata ike a chọrọ maka ịrị elu.
Maka ozi ọzọ gbasara ikike na-emegharị nke Starship, gaa na SpaceX.
Kedu ihe isi ike nwere ike igbochi ihe ịga nke ọma nke Starship Initiative DIU?
N’agbanyeghị ọhụụ na-adọrọ adọrọ, ọrụ DIU na-eche ihu ọtụtụ ihe isi ike, nke kachasị mkpa bụ mmefu ego a na-atụ anya na Space Force, nke nwere ike igbochi mmepe na itinye teknụzụ in-space refueling. Na mgbakwunye, ihe isi ike logistics na teknụzụ nke ịmepụta na ịrụ ọrụ ebe refueling orbital, dịka ịkwado ntụgharị nke mmanụ na-adịghị mma na ọnọdụ zero-gravity, ga-emerịrị ka a kwụsịrị.
Na mgbakwunye, iwu na nkwekọrịta mba ụwa gbasara oghere nwere ike ịkpata ihe isi ike iwu. Ka mba na-emegharị atụmatụ ha na nchọpụta, mmekọrịta na nkwekọrịta ga-abụ ihe dị mkpa iji zere nrụgide ndọrọ ndọrọ ọchịchị n’elu igwe.
Maka ozi ọzọ gbasara ọrụ na ihe isi ike DIU na-eche ihu, nyochaa nghọta ha na Defens Innovation Unit.
Kedu ka Starship nwere ike isi gbanwee ọrụ agha na logistics n’ọdịnihu?
Inovations Starship na-agbasa karịa naanị refueling. Echiche nke «responsive space delivery» na-eji ikike Starship mee ka ibu na Earth na-aga ngwa ngwa, na-eme ka logistics gbanwee. Nke a nwere ike ịbụ nke dị mkpa maka ọrụ agha chọrọ ịmalite ngwa ngwa ma ọ bụ iweghachite ihe si n’elu igwe, na-enye uru nke atụmatụ.
Na mgbakwunye, ikike ibuga ihe ma ọ bụ akụrụngwa si n’elu igwe ruo ebe dị n’ala n’oge dị mkpirikpi nwere ike gbanwee nkesa enyemaka mmadụ. Na ọnọdụ ndị na-adịghị mma, Starship nwere ike ibuga ihe ndị dị mkpa n’ụwa niile ngwa ngwa karịa ụzọ ọdịnala si kwado.
Nọrọ na-emelite banyere otú mmepe ndị a si emetụta mpaghara dị iche iche na U.S. Department of Defense.
Ka mba na-agba ọsọ iji nweta teknụzụ oghere dị elu, SpaceX’s Starship nọ na njedebe, na-enyeghị naanị ịkwado anyị n’ime cosmos, kamakwa ịgbanwe nchọpụta na usoro nchebe ebe a na Earth. Ka kpakpando na-abịa nso, ndị nwere nhọrọ refueling dị elu nwere ike ịnwe uru nke atụmatụ na oge ọhụrụ n’elu igwe.
