Isebenzisa ukwakheka kwe-carbon fibre composite material, irokhethi “Neutron” izoba imoto yokuqala emhlabeni yokwethulwa kwezinto ezibonakalayo ze-carbon fibre composite.
Ngokusekelwe ekuhlangenwe nakho kwangaphambilini okuyimpumelelo ekuthuthukisweni kwemoto encane yokwethulwa kwe-“Electron”, i-Rocket Lab USA, inkampani ehamba phambili yokwethulwa kwemishini yase-US kanye nohlelo lomkhathi, isungule ukwethulwa okukhulu okubizwa nge-“Neutron” Rockets, enamandla okulayisha angu-8. amathani, angasetshenziselwa ukundiza komkhathi okuphethwe umuntu, ukwethulwa komlaza omkhulu wesathelayithi, nokuhlola indawo ejulile.I-rocket izuze imiphumela emihle ekwakhiweni, izinto zokwakha kanye nokusetshenziswa kabusha.
Irokhethi ye-“Neutron” wuhlobo olusha lwemoto yokwethulwa ngokwethembeka okuphezulu, ukusebenziseka kabusha kanye nezindleko eziphansi.Ngokungafani namarokhethi endabuko, irokhethi "Neutron" izothuthukiswa ngokuya ngezidingo zamakhasimende.Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ngaphezu kuka-80% wamasathelayithi azokwethulwa eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo azoba imilaza yesathelayithi, enezidingo ezikhethekile zokuthunyelwa.Irokhethi "Neutron" ingahlangabezana ngqo nezidingo ezinjalo ezikhethekile.Imoto yokwethulwa kwe-"Neutron" yenze lokhu kuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe okulandelayo:
1. Imoto yokuqala enkulu emhlabeni yokwethulwa esebenzisa izinto eziyinhlanganisela ye-carbon fibre
Irokhethi “Neutron” izoba imoto yokuqala enkulu emhlabeni yokwethulwa kusetshenziswa izinto eziyinhlanganisela ye-carbon fiber.Irokhethi izosebenzisa into entsha nekhethekile ye-carbon fibre composite, enesisindo esincane, enamandla amakhulu, ingamelana nokushisa okukhulu nomthelela wokuqalisa nokungena kabusha, ukuze isigaba sokuqala sisetshenziswe ngokuphindaphindiwe.Ukuze kuzuzwe ukukhiqizwa okusheshayo, ukwakheka kwe-carbon fiber composite yerokhethi “Neutron” kuzokwenziwa kusetshenziswa inqubo yokubeka i-fiber ezenzakalelayo (AFP), engakhiqiza igobolondo lerokhethi eliyinhlanganisela ye-carbon fiber amamitha ambalwa ubude emizuzwini embalwa.
2. Isisekelo esisha senza kube lula ukwethulwa kanye nenqubo yokufika
Ukusebenziseka kabusha kuyisihluthulelo sokwethulwa okuvamile nokushibhile, ngakho-ke kusukela ekuqaleni komklamo, i-rocket ye-“Neutron” yanikezwa ikhono lokuhlala, ukululama nokuqalisa futhi.Uma sibheka ukuma kwerokhethi "Neutron", idizayini ecijile kanye nesisekelo esikhulu, esiqinile akwenzi nje kuphela ukwakheka okuyinkimbinkimbi kwerokhethi, kodwa futhi kuqede isidingo sokuhlala phansi kwemilenze nengqalasizinda yesizinda esikhulu.Irokhethi ye-“Neutron” ayincikile embhoshongweni wokuqalisa, futhi ingaqalisa imisebenzi ngesisekelo sayo kuphela.Ngemva kokwethula ku-orbit nokukhulula irokhethi yesigaba sesibili kanye nomthwalo wayo okhokhelwayo, irokhethi yesiteji sokuqala izobuyela emhlabeni futhi yenze ukuba ihlale kahle endaweni yokwethulwa.
3. Umqondo omusha we-fairing ugqashuka kumklamo ovamile
Idizayini eyingqayizivele yerokhethi ye-“Neutron” iphinde ibonakale kumdlalo obizwa nge-“Hungry Hippo” (Imvubu Elambile).Umbukiso othi “Hungry Hippo” uzoba yingxenye yesigaba sokuqala serokhethi futhi uzohlanganiswa ngokugcwele nesiteji sokuqala;umbukiso we-"Hungry Hippo" ngeke uhlukaniswe ne-rocket futhi uwele olwandle njengomdlalo wendabuko, kodwa uzovuleka njengemvubu.Umlomo wavuleka ukukhulula isigaba sesibili serokhethi kanye nokulayishwa kwemali, wabe esevala futhi wabuyela eMhlabeni ngerokhethi yesiteji sokuqala.Irokhethi ehlala endaweni yokuqalisa iyirokhethi yesiteji sokuqala ene-fairing, engahlanganiswa nerokhethi yesiteji sesibili ngesikhathi esifushane bese yethulwa futhi.Ukwamukela idizayini ye-"Hungry Hippo" ingasheshisa ukuvama kokwethulwa futhi kuqede izindleko eziphezulu nokuthembeka okuphansi kokuphinda kusetshenziswe ama-fairing olwandle.
4. Isigaba sesibili se-rocket sinezici zokusebenza eziphezulu
Ngenxa yedizayini ye-"Hungry Hippo", isiteji sesi-2 se-rocket sizovalwa ngokuphelele esiteji se-rocket futhi sibonakale kahle lapho sethulwa.Ngakho-ke, isigaba sesibili serokhethi "Neutron" sizoba yisigaba sesibili esilula kunazo zonke emlandweni.Ngokuvamile, isigaba sesibili serokhethi siyingxenye yesakhiwo sangaphandle semoto yokwethulwa, esizovezwa endaweni enzima yomoya ophansi ngesikhathi sokwethulwa.Ngokufaka isiteji se-rocket kanye ne-"Hungry Hippo" fairing, isigaba sesibili serokhethi ye-"Neutron" ayidingeki Ukumelana nokucindezela kwendawo yokuqalisa, futhi kunganciphisa kakhulu isisindo, ngaleyo ndlela kuzuze ukusebenza okuphezulu kwesikhala.Njengamanje, isigaba sesibili se-rocket sisaklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa ngesikhathi esisodwa.
5. Izinjini zamarokhethi ezakhelwe ukwethembeka nokusebenzisa ngokuphindaphindiwe
Irokhethi ye-“Neutron” izosetshenziswa injini yerokhethi entsha ye-Archimedes.I-Archimedes iklanywe futhi yakhiqizwa yi-Rocket Lab.Injini yomjikelezo womjikelezo we-oksijeni/igesi ye-methane engasetshenziswa futhi enganikeza i-meganewton engu-1 kanye nesekhondi elingu-320 lomfutho othize wasekuqaleni (ISP).Irokhethi ye-“Neutron” isebenzisa izinjini ze-Archimedes ezingu-7 esigabeni sokuqala, kanye nenguqulo engu-1 ye-vacuum yezinjini ze-Archimedes esigabeni sesibili.Irokhethi ye-“Neutron” isebenzisa izingxenye zesakhiwo eziyinhlanganisela ye-carbon fiber engasindi, futhi asikho isidingo sokudinga injini ye-Archimedes ukuthi ibe nokusebenza okuphezulu kakhulu nokuba yinkimbinkimbi.Ngokwakha injini elula ngokuqhathaniswa nokusebenza okusesilinganisweni, uhlelo lwezikhathi lokuthuthukiswa nokuhlola lungafushaniswa kakhulu.
