Muva nje, i-European Space Agency kanye ne-Ariane Group (Paris), inkampani eyinhloko yokuklama imoto yokuqalisa i-Ariane 6, basayine inkontileka entsha yokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe yokuhlola ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezihlanganisiwe ze-carbon fiber ukuze kufezwe Isisindo esincane sesigaba esiphezulu semoto yokuqalisa i-Liana 6.
Lo mgomo uyingxenye yohlelo lwe-PHOEBUS (Highly Optimized Black Superior Prototype). I-Ariane Group ibika ukuthi lolu hlelo luzonciphisa kakhulu izindleko zokukhiqiza ezingeni eliphezulu futhi lukhulise ukuvuthwa kobuchwepheshe obulula.
Ngokusho kwe-Ariane Group, ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwesiqalisi se-Ariane 6, okuhlanganisa nokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe obuhlanganisiwe, kuyisihluthulelo sokuthuthukisa ukuncintisana kwayo. I-MT Aerospace (e-Augsburg, eJalimane) izoklama futhi ihlole ngokubambisana ubuchwepheshe be-PHOEBUS obusezingeni eliphansi lokushisa obuhlanganisiwe obusezingeni eliphansi ne-Ariane Group. Lokhu kubambisana kwaqala ngoMeyi 2019, kanti inkontileka yokuqala yokuklama isigaba se-A/B1 izoqhubeka ngaphansi kwenkontileka ye-European Space Agency.
UPierre Godart, i-CEO ye-Ariane Group, uthe: “Enye yezinselelo ezinkulu ezibhekene namanje ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinto ezihlanganisiwe ziqinile futhi ziqinile ukuze zibhekane nokushisa okuphansi kakhulu kanye ne-hydrogen ewuketshezi egeleza kakhulu.” Lesi sivumelwano esisha Sibonisa ukuzethemba kwe-European Space Agency kanye ne-German Space Agency, ithimba lethu kanye nomlingani wethu i-MT Aerospace, sisebenze nabo isikhathi eside, ikakhulukazi ezingxenyeni zensimbi ze-Ariane 6. Sizoqhubeka nokusebenza ndawonye ukugcina iJalimane neYurophu phambili kobuchwepheshe be-cryogenic composite bokugcina i-hydrogen ewuketshezi kanye ne-oxygen.
Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuvuthwa kwazo zonke ubuchwepheshe obudingekayo, i-Ariane Group ithe izofaka isandla olwazini lwayo kubuchwepheshe bezinga lokuqaliswa kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwesistimu, kuyilapho i-MT Aerospace izoba nesibopho sezinto ezisetshenziswa emathangini okugcina izinto ezihlanganisiwe kanye nezakhiwo ngaphansi kwezimo zokushisa eziphansi. Kanye nobuchwepheshe.
Ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukiswe ngaphansi kwenkontileka buzohlanganiswa nombukiso ongcono kakhulu kusukela ngo-2023 ukufakazela ukuthi uhlelo luhambisana nengxube ye-oxygen-hydrogen ewuketshezi ngezinga elikhulu. I-Ariane Group ithe umgomo wayo wokugcina ne-PHOEBUS ukuvula indlela yokuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwe-Ariane kwezinga lesi-6 kanye nokwethula ubuchwepheshe bethangi lokugcina izinto ezihlanganisiwe ezi-cryogenic emkhakheni wezindiza.
