I-SpaceX yaziwa ngokwethula nokufika kwayo okuhle kakhulu, futhi manje isiwine enye inkontileka yokwethulwa esezingeni eliphezulu evela ku-NASA. I-ejensi yakhetha i-Elon Musk's Rocket Company ukuthi ithumele izingxenye zokuqala zephaseji yayo yenyanga okudala ilindelwe emkhathini.
I-Gateway ibhekwa njengendawo yokuqala yesikhathi eside yabantu enyangeni, okuyisiteshi sasemkhathini esincane. Kodwa ngokungafani ne-International Space Station, ezungeza uMhlaba kancane kancane, isango lizozungeza iNyanga. Izosekela umkhankaso we-astronaut ozayo, oyingxenye yemishini ye-Artemis ye-NASA, ebuyela endaweni yenyanga futhi isungula ukuba khona unomphela lapho.
Ngokukhethekile, i-SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket System izokwethula izici zamandla ne-propulsion (PPE) kanye ne-Habitat and Logistics Base (HALO), okuyizingxenye ezibalulekile zephothali.
I-HALO iyindawo yokuhlala enengcindezi ezothola osomkhathi abavakashile. I-PPE ifana nezinjini namasistimu agcina yonke into isebenza. I-NASA iyichaza ngokuthi “umkhumbi-mkhathi onamandla welanga osezingeni elingamakilowathi angu-60 ozophinde unikeze amandla, ukuxhumana ngesivinini esikhulu, ukulawula isimo sengqondo, nekhono lokuyisa ingosi emigudwini ehlukene yenyanga.”
I-Falcon Heavy iyilungiselelo elisindayo le-SpaceX, elihlanganisa ama-booster amathathu e-Falcon 9 ahlanganiswe nesigaba sesibili nomthwalo okhokhelwayo.
Kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo ngo-2018, uTesla ka-Elon Musk wandizela ku-Mars embukisweni owaziwayo, i-Falcon Heavy indiza kabili kuphela. I-Falcon Heavy ihlela ukwethula amasathelayithi ezempi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka, futhi yethule i-NASA's Psyche mission ngo-2022.
Njengamanje, i-Lunar Gateway's PPE ne-HALO izokwethulwa esikhungweni se-Kennedy Space eFlorida ngoMeyi 2024.
Landela ikhalenda lasemkhathini le-CNET lika-2021 ukuze uthole zonke izindaba zakamuva zasemkhathini kulo nyaka. Ungakwazi nokuyengeza ku-Google Khalenda yakho.
