Ukuthunyelwa kwesathelayithi kwi-Starlink Constellation (Iprojekthi ka-Elon Musk yokubonelela ngesantya esiphezulu kwi-Intanethi ukusuka kwindawo ejikeleze umhlaba) iqale ngolwesine. NgoLwesine ebusuku I-SpaceX isungule iinqwelo zayo zokuqala ezingama-60 kwiisathelayithi ezisezantsi zomhlaba. Njengoko kwabhengezwa ngu-Elon Musk, iisathelayithi ezingama-60 zabhabha zaya emajukujukwini zikhwela irokhethi ye-Falcon 9 isuka eKapa eKapa.
Emva kwemicimbi yezobuchwephesha kunye nemozulu ethe yalibazisa ukwaziswa kwiveki ephelileyo, i-SpaceX ekugqibeleni ibeka ii-satellite zayo zokuqala ezingama-60 eSarlink kwi-orbit.
Emva kwetwitter kwiveki ephelileyo ifoto yeesathelayithi kwirokhethi ye-Falcon 9, uMusk wabhengeza ukuba bazokwaziswa ngoMeyi 15.
Kodwa i-SpaceX ilibazisile ukumiliselwa kweeyure ezingama-24 okokuqala, ngenxa yemozulu engafanelekanga kunye nexesha lesibini kwiingxaki ezinxulumene nekhompyuter.
Los Iisathelayithi ezingama-60 ezinobunzima obumalunga neekhilogram ezingama-227 umntu ngamnye waziphosa Sele bekwi-orbit esezantsi yoMhlaba.
Esi sisiqalo nje
UMusk kunye ne-SpaceX bachaze ukuba, ngokubalulekileyo, iisathelayithi ezingama-60 zazingabonisi lukhulu okomzuzwana. Ngokwabo, kuyakufuneka ulinde ubuncinci ukwaziswa oku-XNUMX (malunga neesathelayithi ezingama-400) ukubonelela ngenkonzo encinci ye-Intanethi.
I-SpaceX ikwatsho ukuba iya kuba lolunye usuku ukubona ukuba zonke iisethelayithi ezithunyelweyo zisebenza ngokufanelekileyo.
Kwakhona, UMusk uthe kudliwanondlebe kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba ubuncinci iipaki ezili-12 ziyafuneka. ngentlawulo efanayo yokuqinisekisa ukogquma i-intanethi kumazwe amaninzi emhlabeni.
Okwangoku, i-Starlink ivunyelwe kuphela ukusebenza e-United States. Oko kwathethi, amabhongo ka-Elon Musk aya ngaphaya kokubonelela nge-intanethi kwi-intanethi kwinqanaba lomhlaba jikelele.
U-Elon Musk unezicwangciso zeMars
Nge Starlink, I-CEO yeTesla kunye nenkampani yabucala yerokethi yasespace SpaceX bafuna ukuhlanganisa imali eyimfuneko ngombono wakho wendawo, ngakumbi leyo yokuthambisa iplanethi iMars.
Ngapha koko, kwincoko yakhe yomnxeba nabacholacholi beendaba bexelwe yi-CNBC kwiveki ephelileyo, U-Elon Musk uthe ubona i-Starlink njengentsika yokwenyani yezemali kukhenketho lwakho olulandelayo esithubeni nakwiMars ngokukodwa.
Umphathi weTesla ubala kwimali evela kule projekthi ukuxhasa ngemali umbono wakhe weMars.
Ezi ngeniso ziya kukuvumela ukuba wenze izixhobo ezininzi zifumaneke kwi-SpaceX. ukugqibezela imodeli yerokethi yabo entsha ephuhliswayo kwaye iya kubizwa ngokuba yiStarship, isiphekepheke esitsha sokuhambisa abathengi ababhatalayo eNyangeni kwaye nokuzama ukwenza ikholoni iMars.
Ngamanye amagama, i-Starship yinkqubo entsha yokwazisa ngokutsha enokuphinda isebenze. i-SpaceX ngoku iyaphuhliswa.
Isiphekepheke kufuneka sithwale abantu abali-100 ngexesha ukusuka eMhlabeni ukuya eNyangeni okanye kwiplanethi enguMars.
“Sibona oku njengendlela yokuba i-SpaceX ingenise ingeniso enokusetyenziselwa ukuphuhlisa iirokethi ezingakumbi nangaphezulu. Siyakholelwa ukuba singayisebenzisa ingeniso yeStarlink ukuxhasa iStarship, utshilo uElon Musk kwiintatheli kwiveki ephelileyo.
Ingeniso enokubakho evela kwimisebenzi yokuqaliswa kweStarlink kulindeleke ukuba ijikeleze i-3.000 yezigidigidi (i-2.600 yezigidigidi) ngonyaka, uqikelelo olunokubakho nangona i-Starlink ingekabhalisi abathengi.
Kule nqaku, U-Elon Musk uxelele iintatheli ukuba i-Starlink ayinabathengi okwangoku, kuba ucinga ukuba kuya kuba ngcono ukuba nokuqonda kakuhle kwenkqubo. Uthe, nangona kunjalo, I-SpaceX ifuna ukutyikitya kunye nabaqhubi bezonxibelelwano kunye noorhulumente.
I-SpaceX iya kuqala ukuthengisa unxibelelwano kamva kulo nyaka okanye ekuqaleni konyaka olandelayo, ukuba konke kuhamba ngokwesicwangciso.
Nangona kunjalo, masingakulibali ukhuphiswano. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba zonke iisetellayithi ezingama-60 zika-Elon Musk Starlink ziya kubonelela ngomthamo webroadband osetyenziswayo, oko kukuthi, amandla aluncedo avela kwinethiwekhi yeStarlink ngaphezulu kwayo nayiphi na isathelayithi yokunxibelelana ngomnxeba e-geostationary okwangoku e-orbit kwaye iya kuphumelela kakhulu kuyo nayiphi na enye.
Abantu abakhuphisana nabo kwi-SpaceX babandakanya iinkampani zaseCanada iTelesat kunye neLeoSat, ekwanesicwangciso sokuhambisa iseti yesetellites ezingama-300 ezinamandla okusebenzisa iiterabytes ezisibhozo kule minyaka izayo, kunye ne-OneWeb, exhaswa yiAirbus SE, eyasungula inethiwekhi yayo yesathelayithi NgoFebruwari kulo nyaka.
