NgoMashi 1, umenzi we-carbon fiber Hexcel Corporation wase-US umemezele ukuthi impahla yayo eyinhlanganisela ethuthukisiwe ikhethwe nguNorthrop Grumman ukuze kukhiqizwe i-booster end-of-life kanye nokuphela kwempilo ye-NASA's Artemis 9 Booster Obsolescence and Life Extension. BOLE) isithuthukisi.
I-Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems ibhekene nokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwezinhlelo zokwethulwa komkhathi ekwakhiweni kwe-booster nasekukhiqizeni.I-booster ethuthukisiwe ene-carbon fiber ye-Hexcel engasindi kanye ne-prepreg izohlinzeka ngokusebenza okwengeziwe okuzozuzisa ukuhlola kwenyanga kwesikhathi esizayo, ohambweni lwesayensi kanye nemisebenzi ekugcineni ye-Mars.
Kusukela ngemishini ye-Artemis 9, amathruster amasha e-BOLE azothatha indawo yezakhiwo zensimbi nezensimbi ebezisetshenziswa ngaphambilini ezinhlelweni zeshuttle yasemkhathini ngomkhumbi we-carbon fiber composite engasindi kanye nezakhiwo ezithuthukisiwe nezithuthukisiwe, amasistimu okulawula i-electronic thrust vector, nezinto eziphehlayo.Izinkinga zokuphelelwa yisikhathi.
Isicelo sokuqala se-BOLE eNorthrop Grumman's Cape, e-Utah plant.I-Hexcel Advanced Composites izosetshenziselwa ukwakha igobolondo lokuqala eliyinhlanganisela le-BOLE thruster, elizosetshenziswa kuHlelo Lokwethulwa Kwemkhathi kumishini ehleliwe ka-2031 ye-Artemis 9.
