Muva nje, i-European Space Agency kanye ne-Ariane Group (Paris), usonkontileka oyinhloko kanye ne-ejensi yokuklama yemoto yokwethulwa kwe-Ariane 6, basayine inkontileka entsha yokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe ukuze bahlole ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezihlanganisiwe ze-carbon fibre ukuze kuzuzwe I-Lightweight yesiteji 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 ezisezingeni eliphezulu futhi lwandise ukuvuthwa kobuchwepheshe obulula.
Ngokusho kwe-Ariane Group, ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwesiqalisi se-Ariane 6, kuhlanganise nokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe obuhlanganisiwe, kuyisihluthulelo sokuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ukuncintisana kwayo. I-MT Aerospace (Augsburg, Germany) izoklama futhi ihlole ngokuhlanganyela isibonelo se-PHOEBUS esisezingeni eliphansi esiyinhlanganisela yobuchwepheshe bokugcina ithangi ne-Ariane Group. Lokhu kubambisana kwaqala ngoMeyi 2019, futhi inkontileka yokuqala yesigaba se-A/B1 izoqhubeka ngaphansi kwenkontileka ye-European Space Agency.
UPierre Godart, oyi-CEO ye-Ariane Group, uthe: “Enye yezinselelo ezinkulu ezibhekene nazo njengamanje ukuqinisekisa ukubumbana nokuqina kwezinto eziyinhlanganisela ukuze zikwazi ukumelana nezinga lokushisa eliphansi kakhulu kanye ne-hydrogen ewuketshezi ekwazi ukungena kalula.” Le nkontileka entsha Ebonisa ukuzethemba kwe-European Space Agency kanye ne-German Space Agency, ithimba lethu kanye nozakwethu i-MT Aerospace, sisebenze nabo isikhathi eside, ikakhulukazi ezingxenyeni zensimbi ze-Ariane 6. Sizoqhubeka nokusebenzisana ukuze sigcine iJalimane neYurophu ihamba phambili kubuchwepheshe obuhlanganisiwe be-cryogenic bokugcina i-hydrogen ewuketshezi ne-oksijini. “
Ukuze kuboniswe ukuvuthwa kwabo bonke ubuchwepheshe obudingekayo, i-Ariane Group yathi izonikela ngolwazi lwayo kubuchwepheshe bezinga lokuqalisa kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwesistimu, kuyilapho i-MT Aerospace izoba nesibopho sezinto ezisetshenziswa emathangeni okugcina ayinhlanganisela nezakhiwo ngaphansi kwezimo eziphansi zokushisa. Nobuchwepheshe.
Ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe ngaphansi kwenkontileka buzohlanganiswa kumbonisi ophakeme kusukela ku-2023 ukufakazela ukuthi uhlelo luhambisana nengxube ye-oxygen-hydrogen ye-liquid ngezinga elikhulu. I-Ariane Group ithe umgomo wayo omkhulu nge-PHOEBUS iwukuvula indlela yokuthuthukiswa kwezinga le-Ariane 6 kanye nokwethula ubuchwepheshe bethangi lokugcina eliyinhlanganisela ye-cryogenic emkhakheni wezindiza.
