Moyo munjira. Module yatsopano ya ISS yakwera kale
Ngakhale kuyesa koyamba sikunaphule kanthu, NASA idakwanitsa kukulitsa BEAM ya International Space Station (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module) ndi mpweya. Ntchito ya "kupopa" idatenga maola angapo ndipo idachitika pa Meyi 28. Mpweya unkapopedwa pakapita nthawi kwa masekondi angapo. Zotsatira zake, kuzungulira 23.10: 1,7 nthawi ya Polish, kutalika kwa BEAM kunali mamita XNUMX.
Astronaut Jeff Williams alowa mu gawo la BEAM.
Patadutsa sabata imodzi pambuyo pa inflating, Jeff Williams ndi Oleg Skripochka adakhala astronauts oyamba kugwira ntchito ku International Space Station mkati mwa module inflatable. Williams analipo nthawi yayitali yokwanira kuti atolere zitsanzo za mpweya ndi data ya sensa yamapangidwe. Atangolowa mkati, Russian Skripochka adagwirizana naye. Patatha mphindi zingapo onse awiri adanyamuka. MALOkenako anatseka chiswa.
Gawoli linapangidwa ndi Bigelow Aerospace pansi pa mgwirizano wa NASA wa $ 17,8 miliyoni. Kutumiza kwa chinthu chomalizidwa mu orbit kunachitika mu Epulo chaka chino. - yopangidwa ndi Dragon spacecraft, yopangidwa ndi SpaceX. Oyenda mumlengalenga amayendera gawoli nthawi zina, mpaka ka 67 pachaka, malinga ndi NASA. Kutengera momwe izi zimagwirira ntchito, bungweli lidzasankha ngati liyesanso gawo lalikulu kwambiri la inflatable, B330, pa ISS. Opanga ake akuyembekeza kuti lingaliro la NASA likhala labwino, koma ndizoyenera kuwonjezera kuti Bigelow Aerospace yatseka kale mgwirizano ndi kampani yaku America yomwe imayambitsa zolipirira mlengalenga, United Launch Alience. Malinga ndi mgwirizano, B330 iyenera kutumizidwa mu orbit mu 2020.
