Inqwelomoya yokuqala yabakhenkethi basesibhakabhakeni kaVirgin Galactic ibe yimpumelelo enkulu

I-Virgin Galactic iye yagqiba ngempumelelo indiza yayo yokuqala yorhwebo, kunye ne-spaceplane ye-Unity ifikelela kwindawo ephezulu yeekhilomitha ze-52,9 (iikhilomitha ze-85,1). 

Uthumo lwaqukunjelwa ngo-11:42 am ET, ngokufika ngempumelelo kumgaqo weenqwelo-moya e-Spaceport America, eNew Mexico. 

ubunye , eyehla kwinqwelo yenqwelo-moya uEva kwi-44.500 ezinyaweni, ifikelele kwisantya esiphezulu se-Mach 2,88 kwi-mission yentombazana yokubona indawo.

Kwimishini yokuqala yorhwebo, iVSS Unity suborbital spaceplane of Virgin Galactic wathwala abasebenzi abathathu ukusuka Italian Air Force kunye National Research Council of Italy.

Iqela labasebenzi lalikhokelwa nguWalter Villadei, ikholoneli yoMkhosi woMoya waseTaliyane owayekhe waqeqeshwa kunye neNASA njengomqhubi wenqwelo-moya ogcina i-Axiom Space kwimishini yesibini yorhwebo kwiSikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe. Kunye noVilladei kwakukho uAngelo Landolfi, ugqirha kunye ne-lieutenant colonel yoMkhosi woMoya, kunye noPantaleone Carlucci, umphandi weBhunga loPhando leSizwe. Abasebenzi baphinde baquka uColin Bennett, umqeqeshi we-astronaut Virgin Galactic kunye nomsebenzi wokuvavanya amava e-flight ngexesha lomsebenzi.

Inqwelomoya yathatha malunga nemizuzu ye-90, apho i-Galactic 01 crew yenza uluhlu lweemvavanyo zesayensi ye-suborbital. Le mishini ibangele abantu abali-13 bakhwele imithwalo ehlawulwayo ukuze kuqhutywe uphando olwahlukeneyo kwizihloko ezisusela kwimitha yelanga kunye ne-biofuels elulwelo oluhlaziyekayo ukuya kwisigulo esishukumayo kunye neemeko zokuqonda ngexesha lokubhabha.

"Umsebenzi wophando weVirgin Galactic ungenise ixesha elitsha lokufikelela ngokuphindaphindiweyo kunye nokuthembekileyo kwindawo karhulumente kunye namaziko ophando kwiminyaka ezayo," utshilo uMichael Colglazier, igosa elilawulayo leVirgin. esembindini .

Eli yayilixesha lokuqala phantse kwiminyaka emibini ukuba isiphekepheke sifikelele kwindawo ephakamileyo, sivula indlela yokuba iVirgin Galactic isungule ngokusesikweni iihambo zayo zorhwebo. Umsebenzi wokulandelela, i-Galactic 02, iya kuqaliswa ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti, emva koko inkampani iceba ukuthumela abasebenzi bezentengiselwano ekupheleni kwendawo inyanga nganye ngexabiso le-$ 450.000 ngetikiti.
