Miningi imiklamo eyenziwayo njengamanje kwi-International Space Station nokuthi ibe nokusabalalisa okukhulu phakathi kwezakhamizi JAXA, IJapan Space Agency, isanda kuthumela i- Drone ekhetheke kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ngokwakhiwa, ukuze konke okwenzeka ngaphakathi esiteshini kubi.
Esinye sezici ezizokuheha kakhulu ukuthi iqiniso lokuthi i-drone eklanywe futhi yadalwa yi-JAXA iyunithi eyindilinga, into ephikisana kakhulu nalolo lwakhiwo lwemodeli olunama-rotor amane noma ngephiko elingaguquki esaziyo. Noma kungaba njani, iqiniso ukuthi i-drone igcwalisa umsebenzi wayo kahle kakhulu, we qopha konke okwenzekayo kumodyuli yokuhlola ye-Kibo ye-International Space Station.
I-Int-Ball yigama i-JAXA elibhabhadise ngalo idrone yayo eyingqayizivele
Ukungena emininingwaneni ethe xaxa, i-Int-Ball, igama i-JAXA elibhabhadise ngalo i-drone eyingqayizivele eyindilinga, sikhuluma ngeyunithi elinganisa Amasentimitha angu-15 ububanzi enesisindo kuphela 1 ikhilogremu futhi lokho kwenziwe ngu Ukuphrinta kwe-3D. Ukuze uyihambise, ifakwe ophephela ababili abancane, abenele ukuyivumela ukuthi iye noma ikuphi.
Kuvidiyo etholakala ekuqaleni kokuqala kokungena okuningiliziwe ngikushiyele ividiyo lapho zombili izindlela ze- ukwakheka kwe-Int-Ball njengazo zonke izinzwa efakwe kuzo nokuthi isetshenziselwe kanjani ukufakwa kochungechunge lwezimpawu ezindongeni zemodyuli ukuze i-JAXA drone ikwazi ukuziqondisa.
I-Int-Ball ibilokhu ikwi-International Space Station kusukela ngoJuni 4, usuku eyasuka ngalo eMhlabeni. Kusukela lapho, i-drone inikezwe umsebenzi wokwengamela umsebenzi owenziwa ngosomkhathi be-JAXA kanye nokukhuthaza ukuzenzakalela nokuzimela kwemishini yangaphakathi neyengeziwe yezimoto.
