Lub Electron booster tuaj rau hauv kev pom ntawm lub tuam txhab lub nyoob hoom qav taub rau kev ntes.
Pob Tsuas Xyooj
Pob Tsuas Xyooj CEO Peter Beck tau tshaj tawm lub tuam txhab thawj qhov kev sim rau hnub Monday kom ntes nws lub foob pob hluav taws xob hluav taws xob siv lub nyoob hoom qav taub tom qab tso tawm ua "zoo heev," qhia CNBC tias. qhov kev sim "ua tiav 99%" ntawm lub tuam txhab lub hom phiaj mus rau reusing rockets.
"Nag hmo yog qhov ua qauv qhia tias txhua yam ua haujlwm - nws yog txhua yam ua tau. Koj tuaj yeem tswj tau zoo thiab rov nkag mus rau theem [ foob pob hluav taws] los ntawm qhov chaw, muab tso rau hauv qab lub tshuab raj.
Rocket Lab xav ua kom nws cov foob pob hluav taws rov siv tau, zoo li cov Elon Musk tus SpaceX, tab sis nrog txoj kev sib txawv heev. Tom qab tso nws lub foob pob hluav taws xob hluav taws xob los ntawm New Zealand rau hnub Monday, lub tuam txhab tau siv lub nyoob hoom qav taub los rub lub parachute uas ua rau lub foob pob hluav taws qeeb qeeb thaum nws rov qab los rau lub ntiaj teb.
SpaceX siv nws lub foob pob hluav taws lub cav kom qeeb thaum rov nkag mus thiab xa cov ceg dav mus tsaws rau ntawm cov ntaub qhwv loj.
Thaum Rocket Lab lub nyoob hoom qav taub "muaj qhov sib txuas zoo" thiab pib ya thaum nqa lub koob yees duab, Beck hais tias, tus neeg tsav dav hlau dav hlau pom tias cov khoom thauj los ntawm lub koob yees duab txawv dua li qhov kev sim dhau los thiab tso lub koob yees duab, uas tau poob rau hauv dej hiav txwv Pacific. Lub koob yees duab tau rov qab los ntawm dej los ntawm Rocket Lab lub nkoj. Beck tau hais tias lub foob pob hluav taws nyob rau hauv "zoo heev" thiab hais tias tus tsav "ua qhov raug hu."
Rocket Lab's Sikorsky S-92 nyoob hoom qav taub muaj peev xwm nqa tau 5,000 kilograms, Beck tau sau tseg, nrog lub zog hluav taws xob hnyav "tsuas yog qis dua 1,000 kilograms." Thaum qhov kev sim no muaj "ntau ntawm cov npoo," Beck hais tias, Rocket Lab siv "kev kwv yees tiag tiag" txhawm rau ua kom muaj kev nyab xeeb thaum lub sijhawm ntes. Lub nyoob hoom qav taub ya nrog cov neeg coob ntawm peb: Tus tsav, tus kws tsav dav hlau thiab tus neeg soj ntsuam.
Hauv kev ua kom nws cov boosters rov siv tau, Rocket Lab yuav tuaj yeem tshaj tawm ntau zaus thaum tib lub sijhawm txo cov khoom siv ntawm txhua lub hom phiaj.
Beck tau tshaj tawm tias Electron's booster ua rau ntawm 70% thiab 80% ntawm tag nrho cov nqi ntawm lub tsheb. Reusing nws yuav ua rau muaj kev txuag nyiaj tseem ceeb rau lub tuam txhab thiab txo qis tus naj npawb ntawm cov boosters nws xav tau los tsim.
Rocket Lab tom ntej yuav rov qab Electron booster rau nws lub Hoobkas kom tshem tawm nws, tshuaj xyuas nws thiab pib txheej txheem ntawm kev kho dua tshiab rau lub davhlau tom ntej.
Thaum Beck ceeb toom tias lub tuam txhab xav tau "ua ntau pawg ntawm kev sim" ntawm lub zog, Rocket Lab yuav "sib siab ua kom ya ib zaug ntxiv" - nyob rau hauv dab tsi yuav yog nws thawj lub foob pob hluav taws rov siv dua.
Beck kwv yees kwv yees li ib nrab ntawm Rocket Lab lub luag haujlwm yuav siv foob pob hluav taws rov siv tau. Hmo ntuj launches, thaum lub nyoob hoom qav taub yuav tsis ya, los yog launches uas yuav tsum tau lub foob pob ua ntxaij lub peev xwm tag nrho coj tus lej ntawd. (Rocket Lab poob txog 10% ntawm lub peev xwm them nyiaj ntawm Electron hauv nws qhov kev teeb tsa rov siv tau.)
"Reusability yog ib qho txheej txheem rov ua dua. Raws li peb tau pom nrog SpaceX - thawj zaug, lub sijhawm hloov pauv yog rau lub hlis lossis ntau dua, thiab tom qab ntawd saib seb lawv nyob qhov twg tam sim no: siv lub lis piam rau kev hloov pauv, "Beck hais.
