Kukuphela kwelanga elitsha kwisibhakabhaka sabantu-enye apho wonke umntu eneepokotho ezaneleyo ezinokubhabhela emajukujukwini. Inkampani yabucala i-Axiom Space ibhengeze iqela layo lokuqala lokuthengisa nge-astronaut, nelicwangciselwe ukubhabhela kwi-International Space Station (ISS) kwimishini yeentsuku ezisibhozo ekuqaleni konyaka olandelayo.
Abathengi abathathu abahlawulayo-ngamnye kubo okhuphe i-55 yezigidi zeedola kolu hambo-ngumtyali mali waseMelika uLarry Connor, oza kusebenza njengomqhubi wenqwelomoya, umtyali mali waseCanada uMark Pathy, kunye nomtyali mali wase-Israeli u-Eytan Stibbe. Ezi zintathu ziya kubhabha phantsi komyalelo wangaphambili Usomajukujuku weNASA UMichael López-Alegría, ngoku usekela-mongameli e-Axiom Space kunye negqala leenqwelomoya ezine.
ILópez-Alegría iya kongamela inkqubo yoqeqesho enzulu yabasebenzi, eya kuthi ifane naleyo yoosomajukujuku abaziingcali. Nje ukuba abasebenzi bafike emajukujukwini, ayizukuphumelela konke malunga nokwenza i-backflips kwi-zero-gravity; usomajukujuku ngamnye wabucala uzakwenza uphando lwezenzululwazi kunye novavanyo ngexesha lomsebenzi (nangona thina kunye neeapos siqinisekile ukuba kuyakubakho ixesha lokubuya umva, kwakhona.)
'Sifuna ukudibanisa iqela labathunywa bembali ababonakalise ukuzibophelela ubomi babo bonke ekuphuculeni ubomi babantu eMhlabeni, kwaye ndiyavuya ukuba sithi senze njalo ngeli qela,' uMichael Suffredini, Axiom Space Umongameli kunye ne-CEO, utshilo kwingxelo. 'Le yeyokuqala kubasebenzi abaliqela beAxiom Space abathunywa babucala kwiSitishi saMazwe ngaMazwe esiya kuvula ikamva elibanzi labantu abasesibhakabhakeni- kwaye benze umahluko obonakalayo emhlabeni xa bebuyela ekhaya.'

I-Axiom Space crew ayizukufumana abemi bokuqala babucala emajukujukwini; Ngapha koko, abanye abasixhenxe baye babhabha baya kwi-ISS kwixa elidlulileyo njengoosomajukujuku bezorhwebo, ngenye indlela abaziwa njenge ' abakhenkethi bendawo . ' Kodwa bahlala bephelekwa ngabasebenzi boosomajukujuku okanye oosomajukujuku, kwaye bahlala bebhabha kwisiphekepheke sikarhulumente. (Bonke abasixhenxe baphehlelelwa kwinkqubo yeRoyos & apos; soyuz.) Iqela leAxiom, nangona kunjalo, lelona qela labucala labucala, kwaye nabo baya kuba ngabarhwebi ababhabhayo. Baza kukhwela ukukhwela kwi-SpaceX & apos ye-Crew Dragon, eyaba yi Isiphekepheke sokuqala sabucala ukuzisa ngempumelelo oosomajukujuku kwi-ISS kunye nokubuyela eMhlabeni ngo-2020.
Phambi kweSpaceX & apos; impumelelo enkulu, iinqwelomoya eziye zalawulwa ziiarhente zikarhulumente, ezizezi: NASA kunye neRashiya & apos; s Roscosmos, ngokudibeneyo namanye amahlakani aphesheya. Kodwa ezi arhente ngoku zivula isibhakabhaka kumathuba orhwebo, zivula indlela yokuba ishishini labucala lokhenketho lichume.
Izicwangciso ze-Axiom zokubhabha ukuya kuthi ga kwimishini emibini ukuya kwi-ISS ngonyaka ngamnye, ngokuqala nge-Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) ngo-2022. Ngo-2024, i & ampos; izakuncamathisela iimodyuli zayo kwilabhoratri ejikelezayo, ngethemba lokuba ekugqibeleni iyokwakha isikhululo sendawo kuRhulumente nakwimishini yabucala. Ke, elo phupha unayo & apos; uthathe uhambo oluya emajukujukwini? Ewe, ii-apos zisendleleni eya ekubeni yinyani.
