I-SpaceX ka-Elon Musk linyathelo elisondeleyo ekufezekiseni amaphupha esithuba sorhwebo emva kokuba kuqhushumbe irokethi kule mpelaveki -ngabom.
Ukuqhushumbisa ngabom enye yeerokethi zayo zeFalcon 9 yayiluvavanyo olubalulekileyo lokhuseleko ukulinganisa ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni ukuba kukho ukusilela kwenjini ngexesha lenqwelomoya, ngokweengxelo. Irokethi, eyayixhonywe sisiphekepheke senkampani iCrew Dragon, yasuka eKennedy Space Centre eKapa eKanafiki, eFlorida ngo-10: 30 kusasa ngeCawa phambi kokuba inkampani isike iinjini zayo ezisithoba kwimizuzwana engama-84 kwindiza, I-Business Insider ixeliwe .
Isiphekepheke sasisondele ngokukhuselekileyo kwaye irokethi, eyayiphaphazela emoyeni phantse kabini isantya sesandi, yaqhekeka yaza yaqhushumba kuqhushumbo lomlilo. I-Crew Dragon, eyayixhonywe kwimizuzu emi-4 kwimizuzwana engama-45 indiza, emva koko yathumela iiparashute yaza yatshona ngokukhuselekileyo kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantic ngokwe-SpaceX .
IsithubaX Ithunyelwe uqhushumbo olucwangcisiweyo luqinisekisile ukukwazi kwesiphekepheke ukuthwala oosomajukujuku baye kukhuseleko kwimeko engalindelekanga yonxunguphalo ekunyukeni.
Umlawuli we-NASA uJim Bridenstine Siyavuyisana ne-SpaceX kwi-Twitter, Yongeza: Olu vavanyo lubalulekileyo lusibeka kwi-cusp yokuphinda similise oosomajukujuku baseMelika kwii rokethi zaseMelika ezivela kumhlaba waseMelika. Imisebenzi yokubuyisela kwisiphekepheke iyaqhubeka.
Emva kokuba ichaphazele uLwandle, iBridenstine Ithunyelwe ukuba iCrew Dragon ifunyenwe kwaye yabuyiselwa eKapa eKanaveral.
Kwelakhe icala, UMusk ubize uvavanyo uthumo oluyingozi, njengoko lityhala imvulophu ngeendlela ezininzi kwi-Twitter nakwi yongezwa ukuba isiqu sedragoni kuvavanyo lokubhabha ngenqwelomoya lukwimo entle!
Ukulandela uvavanyo lokuqhushumba, inkampani yaqhubeka nokuvavanya iinjini zerokethi yayo kwinto ebizwa ngokuba luvavanyo lomlilo, uvavanyo olunzima lwangaphambi kokuqaliswa, Isithuba Space.com ingxelo ngoLwesibini. Ikhampani ithe ngoku icwangciselwe yazisa ngeesathelayithi ezingama-60 ze-Starlink emajukujukwini nerocket.
