I-United Landiance Alliance inokulayisha i-Criogen Methane kunye neoksijini ye-roct ye-velocgen kwi-eva kwiveki yokuqala kwiiveki ezizayo njengoko icwangcisa ukugcwala kwe-Atlas. Uvavanyo oluphambili lwamarokhethi oluza kusebenzisa i-rocket efanayo. Ubunzima kwiminyaka ezayo.
Ngeli xesha, uu usebenzisa i-Atlas Atlas 5 i-rocket ukuya kuvavanya izinto ze-vulcaur enamandla ye-vulcaur enamandla angaphambi kwenqwelo moya yokuqalisa inqwelo moya. I-injini entsha ye-4 ye-Injini yokuqala kwi-Jeff Bezos 'Space Station Inkampani iluhlaza ilungele kwaye ihambela phambili noVavanyo lovavanyo lokuqala lweVulcan.
UJohl Albon watsho kwangoko ukuba i-rocket yokuqala yeVulcan kufuneka ilungele ukuqaliswa ngokuphela konyaka.
Ukupheliswa kokuqala kukaVulcan kusenzeka emva kwexesha kulo nyaka okanye ekuqaleni kuka-2022, uCol. Robert Bongiovi, uMlawuli weZiko leSithuba, utshilo uLwesithathu. Umkhosi weSithuba uya kuba ngumthengi omkhulu ka-Ula njengoko i-vulcan ye-vulcan iqhuba iindiza ezimbini zesatifikethi ngaphambi kokuba iqalise umsebenzi wayo wokuqala wase-US, i-USSF-106, ekuqaleni kweminyaka engama-2023.
Ukuphehlelelwa kwe-ertraite yase-US yomkhosi wase-US 5 ngoLwesibini kuvavanye ingxelo ehlaziyiweyo ye-RL10 yeXesha eliPhakamileyo le-RL10 eliza kubhabha kwinqanaba le-pulcaur rocker kwinqanaba le-pulcaur ephezulu. I-Atlas elandelayo ye-Atlas 5 isungulwe ngoJuni iya kuba yindawo yokuqala yokusebenzisa iVulcan. . Njengesibane somnxeba owenziwe e-USA, hayi iSwitzerland.
Ulwakhiwo kunye nokuvavanywa kwenkqubo yePad yePad ye-pulcare yeCulcaur iphantse yagqitywa, yatsho i-ron Tortson, UMlawuli kunye noMlawuli Jikelele weMisebenzi kwi-Ula.
"Oku kuya kuba yi-pad yokuqalisa kabini," utshilo uFordn uthi: "Akukho mntu wenze oku ngaphambili, ngokuyintloko aqalise i-Atlas kunye nemveliso eyahlukileyo ye-vulcan ye-vulcan yeVulcan kwiqonga elinye."
Injini yeRussia-180 ye-Atlas 5 iRocket ibaleka kwi-kerosene exutywe neoksijini ye-allun. I-Twin ye-Twin ye-Gulcan yeXesha laseQulban liqhutywa kwi-lotfeef yegesi yendalo okanye i-methane ipetroli, ifuna i-ula yokufaka iitanki ezintsha zokugcina kwiqonga lama-41.
Iitanki ezithathu ze-100,000 ze-gallon methane zikwicala elingasentla lokuqalisa kwe-4 4-50. Qalisa iRocket.
I-Hydrogen i-hydrogen kunye neendawo zokugcina ioksijini zeoksijini ekuqaliseni i-Pad 41 zaye zaphuculwa ukuze zihlale kwinqanaba elikhulu le-nqununuur ephezulu, eliza kubhabha kwi-rocket yeVulcan.
Inqanaba le-vulcan ye-vulcan ye-pulcan ye-gelcar 5 yenqanaba eliphezulu le-177 leemitha (iimitha ezi-5.4), ngaphezulu kwe-injini ye-RL10 ye-RL, kwaye ingaphantsi kwe-Atlaur ye-5 ye-RL, kwaye iya kuthwala amafutha amabini anesiqingatha kune-Cenaur.
U-Fordson wathi ulala uLu ugcwalise uvavanyo lweetanki ezintsha ze-methane kwaye uthumele ulwelo lwe-crygenic ngomhlaba wokuhambisa umhlaba kwindawo yokuqalisa kwiPad 41.
I-Forddon yatsho i-rodon. "Sineepetroli eziphuma kuyo yonke imigca. Sikubiza uvavanyo olubandayo lokuhamba. Sigqithile kuwo onke imigca ukuya kunxibelelwano ne-VLP, eyiqonga leVulcan lawving, kunye ne-gelcan rocket. I-vertex. "
