Ama-ejensi asemkhathini abesebenzisana ne- Hardware Libre nokuphrinta kwe-3D. Umsebenzi obonakala sengathi ngeke uwele ezindlebeni ezingezwa noma okungenani ngeke ube yi-ephemeral njengabanye. Muva nje, i-NASA ikwazile ukuthola imodeli yesathelayithi yasemkhathini enesisindo esingamagremu angama-64 kuphela futhi ephrintwe kukhabhoni.
Le modeli yesathelayithi bekungumsebenzi womuntu osemncane waseNdiya obambe iqhaza emncintiswaneni we-NASA's Cubes in Space. Amamodeli wokuwina alo mncintiswano azosetshenzwa yi-NASA futhi azoba yinto yangempela eminyakeni ethile. Ngakho-ke iphrojekthi kaRifath Shaarook encane izophatha idatha yethu ezinyangeni ezimbalwa.
Isathelayithi eyakhiwe nguRifath Shaarook ikhiyubhu ephrintwe ngekhabhoni enesisindo esingu-64 grams kuphela. EMpumalanga I-satellite isebenza ku-suborbit yeplanethi futhi okwamanje izosebenza kuphela imizuzu eyi-12 ku-zero gravity. Okungenani imodeli yokuqala, ngoba ngomsebenzi weNASA isathelayithi inesikhathi eside.
Isathelayithi kaRifath Shaarook inesisindo esingama-gram angama-64 kuphela kepha ihlala kuphela imizuzu eyi-12 ku-zero gravity
Okuhehayo ngale phrojekthi akukhona ukusetshenziswa kokuphrinta kwe-3D njengethuluzi lokwakha iziphuphutheki kodwa iqiniso losayizi nesisindo, izinto ezisiza ukunciphisa imfucumfucu yendawo edumile futhi zenze umjaho wesikhala ushibhe kakhulu. Akunakuphikwa ukuthi i-Rifath satellite ingasiza amaphrojekthi athakazelisayo njengephrojekthi ye-Google ukusabalalisa i-Intanethi ezindaweni ezikude noma iphrojekthi ye-Facebook. Yize kufanele sisho ukuthi ngalokhu kufanele bacele imvume ku-NASA, okwamanje enamalungelo cishe wonke wephrojekthi.
URifath Shaarook akuyona iphrojekthi yokuqala ayidalayo. Naphezu kweminyaka yakhe engu-18, le nsizwa yaseNdiya isivele ine-resume ebanzi mayelana nezinto eziqanjiwe namaphrojekthi ahlobene ne-electronics kanye Hardware Libre. Lapho eneminyaka engu-15 ubudala, le nsizwa yaseNdiya yawina umncintiswano kazwelonke ngebhaluni lesimo sezulu.
