Uhlelo lokukhipha abantu ngokuphuthumayo luyalungiswa e-International Space Station (ISS) ngemuva kokwanda kokuvuza komoya emojulwini waseRussia iZvezda. I-Nasa iyalele amasonja amane e-Crew-12 ukuba athole indawo yokuphepha ku-Crew Dragon futhi agqoke izingubo zawo zasemkhathini. Lesi sinqumo sikhishwe ngoLwesihlanu, 5 Juni. Ukulungiselela kulandelwa emva kokuthi izinga lokuvuza likhule kakhulu ngesonto eledlule.
Ukukhula Kokuvuza Okukhathazayo
I-Nasa ibike ukuthi izinga lokuvuza komoya laqala ngomhla ka-1 Juni, ngo-9:04 ntambama ngesikhathi saseMpumalanga YaseMelika. Ngokusho komsebenzi ophakeme we-Nasa owakhuluma ngaphandle kokumenyezelwa igama, izinga lokuvuza landa lisuka cishe ku-0.45 kg ngosuku laya ku-0.9 kg ngosuku. Lo mkhuba wokwanda kabili wenza ukuthi abaphathi be-Nasa bathathe isinyathelo esisheshayo. NgoMsombuluko nje, umkhakha wokulawula we-Nasa wawuseyalele amasonja ukuba angene ku-Crew Dragon futhi alungiselele ukuphuma ngokuphuthumayo. Lo myalelo ugcinwe futhi waqiniswa ezinsukwini ezilandelayo.
Isexwayiso Esiphuthumayo SomSombuluko
Umkhakha wokulawula we-Nasa wakhipha isexwayiso ngoMsombuluko ngo-9:04 ntambama, okwathi amasonja e-Crew-12 ayesevele ebambele ocingweni ukuze aphonse amehlo emkhathini. Lesi sezwayiso sasingeyona into elindelekile, njengoba ukuzama ukuluma kwakungumkhuba ovamile. Kodwa-ke, ukwanda kwezinga lokuvuza kwenza ukuthi kube nezinkinga ezinkulu. Abaphathi be-Nasa basabela ngokushesha ukuze baqinise ukuthi amasonja akulungele ukuphuma uma izimo ziba zimbi.
Izinyathelo ZaseRussia Zokulungisa
I-Roscosmos, i-ejensi yasemkhathini yaseRussia, yamemezela ukuthi ithole imifantu emibili emojulwini weZvezda, oyingxenye yomkhakha waseRussia we-ISS. Ngokusho kwesitatimende esikhishwe ngoLwesihlanu, i-Roscosmos yathi umfantu wokuqala usulungisiwe ngokusebenzisa inhlanganisela evimbela ukuvuza. Umfantu wesibili, otholakala engxenyeni eyikhoni yomugqumo wokuhamba womojuli, usalungiswa. Yize izimo zibi kakhulu, i-Roscosmos ithi akukho usongo olukhulu kubasebenzi futhi umfutho phakathi kweziteshi uhlezi uzinzile.
Abantu Abasengozini
I-Crew-12 ingumsebenzi weshumi nambili wokushintsha abasebenzi owenziwa i-SpaceX e-ISS ngaphansi kweCommercial Crew Programme ye-Nasa. Lemishini yethulwa ngoFebhuwari 2026 futhi kulindeleke ukuba ihlale emkhathini cishe izinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye. Amasonja amane anguJessica Meir noJack Hathaway baseMelika, uSophie Adenot waseFrance ovela e-European Space Agency, kanye noAndrey Fedyaev waseRussia ovela e-Roscosmos. Laba bantu yibona abathole isexwayiso sokulungiselela ukuphuma futhi basondela ku-Crew Dragon. Lokhu kwenza ukuthi abasebenzi bakulungele ukukwazi ukushiya isiteshi ngokushesha uma kudingeka.
Indima Ye-Crew Dragon Njengomkhumbi Wokuphuma
Njengoba kuyisinyathelo sokuvikela, amasonja atshalwe ukuba agqoke izingubo zawo zasemkhathini futhi ahlale eduze kwe-Crew Dragon, ebambele esiteshini. Le kapsuli, eyakhiwe yi-SpaceX, iyimoto eyinhloko esetshenziswa i-Nasa ukuthutha abasebenzi futhi isebenza njengesikebhe sokuphuma ezimeni eziphuthumayo. Yakhelwe ukusebenza ngokuzicabangela okuphezulu, i-Crew Dragon ingathwala abantu abayisikhombisa futhi iyaziqhelisa futhi ibuyele emhlabeni ngaphandle kokungenelela. Uma kunesidingo, ingakwazi ukuhlukanisa ngokushesha futhi ibuyise abasebenzi emhlabeni.
I-ISS izungeza umhlaba cishe ngamamitha angama-400 ukusuka emhlabeni futhi ingumklamo omkhulu kunayo yonke owake wakhiwa ngumuntu emkhathini. Isiteshi sihlala sinabantu kusukela ngonyaka we-2000, futhi siwumphumela wobambiswano lwamazwe ngamazwe ohlanganisa iMelika, iRussia, iCanada, iJaphan, namazwe aseYurophu. Imojuli iZvezda, lapho kutholakala khona ukuvuza, iyingxenye ebalulekile yesakhiwo. Isiteshi sinesilinganiso esilingana nenkundla yebhola futhi senza izihlanganiso ezingaba ngu-16 emhlabeni ngosuku. Singahlala abasebenzi abayisikhombisa emishinini emide.
