Isathelayithi izokhombisa okokuqala indlela entsha yokuthwebula udoti wasemkhathini ngozibuthe.Eminyakeni yamuva, njengoba ukuvama kokwethulwa komkhathi kuye kwanda kakhulu, amathuba okushayisana okuyinhlekelele ngaphezu komhlaba nawo ande.Manje, inkampani yaseJapan yokuhlanza amathrekhi i-Astroscale ihlola isixazululo esingaba khona.
Uhlelo lwenkampani lokubonisa “inkonzo yokuphela kwempilo” yenkampani luhlelelwe ukuthi lusuke ngerokhethi yaseRussia iSoyuz ngoMashi 20. Inemikhumbi-mkhathi emibili: isathelayithi encane “yekhasimende” kanye nesathelayithi “yesevisi” noma “i-chaser” enkulu. .Amasathelayithi amancane afakwe ipuleti kazibuthe elivumela abajahi ukuthi bangene nalo.
Imikhumbi-mkhathi estakiwe emibili izokwenza izivivinyo ezintathu ku-orbit ngesikhathi, futhi ukuhlola ngakunye kuzobandakanya ukukhishwa kwesathelayithi yesevisi bese kutholwa kabusha isathelayithi yekhasimende.Ukuhlolwa kokuqala kuzoba lula kakhulu, isathelayithi yekhasimende ikhukhuleka ibangana bese itholwa kabusha.Esivivinyweni sesibili, isathelayithi enikezayo isetha isathelayithi yekhasimende ukuthi igingqike, bese ijaha futhi ihambisane nokunyakaza kwayo ukuze iyibambe.
Ekugcineni, uma lezi zivivinyo ezimbili zihamba kahle, umgijimi uzothola abakufunayo, ngokuvumela isathelayithi yekhasimende intante ebangeni elingamakhulu ambalwa amamitha bese iyayithola futhi ayinamathisele.Uma sekuqaliwe, zonke lezi zivivinyo zizokwenziwa ngokuzenzakalelayo, cishe akukho okokufaka okwenziwa ngesandla okudingekayo.
“Le mibukiso ayikaze yenzeke emkhathini.Ahluke ngokuphelele kosomkhathi abalawula izingalo zamarobhothi e-International Space Station, isibonelo,” kusho uJason Forshaw weBritish Astronomical Scale."Lokhu kuwumsebenzi ozimele."Ekupheleni kokuhlolwa, yomibili imikhumbi-mkhathi izosha emkhathini woMhlaba.
Uma inkampani ifuna ukusebenzisa lesi sici, ipuleti kazibuthe kufanele ligxiliswe kusathelayithi ukuze lithathwe kamuva.Ngenxa yokwanda kwezinkinga zemfucumfucu yasemkhathini, amazwe amaningi manje adinga izinkampani ukuthi zibe nendlela yokubuyisela amasathelayithi azo ngemva kokuphelelwa uphethiloli noma ukungasebenzi kahle, ngakho lokhu kungase kube uhlelo olulula lwezimo eziphuthumayo, kusho uForshaw.Njengamanje, umgijimi ngamunye angathola isethelayithi eyodwa kuphela, kodwa i-Astroscale ithuthukisa inguqulo engadonswa ngaphandle kwemizila emithathu kuya kwemine ngesikhathi.
