NgoJulayi 2020, i-space-art ezi-Mars ezibophelelweyo zisuswe eMhlabeni ukuze zenze uhambo olumalunga ne-300-yeekhilomitha ukuya kwiPlanethi ebomvu. Kwiinyanga ezisixhenxe kamva, bazimisele ukufika. Ngelixa ukufezekisa nantoni na esithubeni Inzima, iMishini kaMars, ngakumbi, yimisebenzi enzima- ngokwembali, abangaphantsi kwesiqingatha baphumelele .

Ke, ngawo onke amehlo esibhakabhakeni (okanye mandithi, kwizikrini zethu zekhompyuter) njenge-United Arab Emirates kunye neapos; Ithemba le-orbiter, China & apos; s Tianwen-1 probe, kunye ne-United States & apos; Ukunyamezela i-rover isethwe ukuba ifike. Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi malunga nomsebenzi ngamnye, kunye nendlela onokuthi uhlele ngayo ukufika kwabo EyoKwindla .

Ithemba le-UAE (Al-Amal): Ifika ngoFebruwari 9

Ngesiphekepheke seThemba, esaziwa njengeAl-Amal ngesiArabhu, i-UAE yenza amatyala ayo kwiMars- okanye endaweni yayo. Ithemba ayisiyo-lander, kodwa i-orbiter eyilelwe ukuchitha unyaka omnye ijikeleza iplanethi kunye nokuqokelela idatha. Ukuba iThemba lingena ngempumelelo kumjikelo walo, i-UAE iya kuba lilizwe lesihlanu ukufikelela ngempumelelo eMars. Ewe kunjalo, kukho ii-apos ezininzi ekufuneka zihambile, kubandakanya ukutshiswa kwe-injini yemizuzu engama-27 eyilelwe ukunciphisa ispacecraft ukusuka kwi-75,000 mph ukuya kwi-11,000 mph.

Uya kukwazi ukubukela ukugubungela iThemba ngokufika ukuthunyelwa kwemarike.ae/live NgoFebruwari 9. ('Phila' ligama elinxulumene noko - idatha edluliselwe ukusuka eMars izakuthatha malunga nemizuzu eli-11 ukufika apha eMhlabeni, ke abalawuli bemishini basebenza ngokulibaziseka.) Injini itshisa iqala malunga ne-10: 30. Ndiyi-EST, ke unokulindela ukuba ukhuselo luqale ngaphambi koko.

I-Tianwen-1 yase China: Ifika ngoFebruwari 10

I-China inethemba lokuba lilizwe lesithathu ukuphumelela umhlaba kwi-Mars ngesixhobo sayo somoya se-Tianwen-1-into eyenziweyo yi-US kunye ne-Soviet Union yangaphambili. I-Tianwen-1 ineemoto ezimbini, i-orbiter kunye ne-rover. I-orbiter iya kufika eMars ngoFebruwari 10, ngelixa i-rover icwangciselwe ukuhlala ngoMeyi. Njengakwimishini yeThemba, ukufezekisa i-Mars orbit kufuna ukwehla okubonakalayo, ekufuneka kwenziwe ngokuchanekileyo- kukho iiapos indawo eninzi yempazamo.

Ukungena kwindawo ehamba phambili yokufakwa kwe-orbital ye-Tianwen kulula ukuyithetha kunokwenza. I-China yaziwa ngokungathi ibambe-umlomo xa isiza kwindawo yayo, kwaye ayizukuphumelela ukusasaza nantoni na ngokuthe ngqo. Oko kwathethi, iindawo ezizimeleyo okanye intatheli zinokuhambisa ezazo iindaba, kuxhomekeke kulwazi olukhoyo esidlangalaleni.

Ukunyamezela kwe-NASA: Ifika ngoFebruwari 18

Kwiiarhente zomhlaba zehlabathi, i-NASA ineyona rekhodi ilungileyo kwiMars, enama-orbiters aliqela, abagibeli, kunye nokuhambisa zonke izinto ezisinda kuhambo lwabo kwiplanethi kunye nokuqala ukusebenza kwakanye apho. Ngapha koko, i-US kuphela kwelizwe lokufumana indawo eyi-rover eyimpumelelo- kwaye ikwenze amatyeli amane. Ukunyamezela, okubizwa ngokuba nguPercy, kuya kuba kokwesihlanu ukuba konke kuhamba ngokwesicwangciso ngoFebruwari 18, xa i-apos icwangciselwe umhlaba. Elinye lawona macandelo achulumancisayo kwimishini kukuba uPercy uphethe ihelikopta yokuqala kaMars ebhodini. Isithuthi esifana nedrone, esibizwa ngokuba yi-Ingenuity, siya kuvavanya itekhnoloji ebalulekileyo kwimishini yexesha elizayo, kubandakanya nabantu.

I-NASA ipapashe ishedyuli epheleleyo yeziganeko ezibukhoma eyenzeka ngexesha lokuqhubela phambili kokufika kukaPercy & apos, okuza kusasazwa nge NASA TV . Ukubonelelwa kokufika ngokwawo kuya kuqala nge-2: 15 pm EST ngoFebruwari 18.
