Lub tuam txhab Electron foob pob hluav taws nqa CAPSTONE lub luag haujlwm nqa tawm ntawm New Zealand thaum Lub Rau Hli 28, 2022.

Pob Tsuas Xyooj launched ib lub dav hlau me me khi rau lub hli los ntawm nws qhov chaw New Zealand thaum ntxov hnub Tuesday, lub luag haujlwm uas sawv cev rau thawj lub tuam txhab thiab National Aeronautics thiab Space Administration.
Lub tuam txhab Electron foob pob hluav taws nqa ib qho tshwj xeeb ntawm nws Photon satellite platform, uas yog nqa 55-phaus, microwave qhov cub-qhov loj me lub dav hlau hu ua CAPSTONE.
"Pib Electron Zoo Tshaj Plaws!" Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck tweeted hnub Tuesday.
CAPSTONE, lub ntsiab lus ntawm "Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations thiab Navigation Experiment," yog lub luag haujlwm qis uas sawv cev rau thawj zaug tso rau hauv NASA lub lunar Artemis program.
Nrog rau tus nqi tsuas yog txaj muag ntawm $ 30 lab, NASA vam tias lub luag haujlwm yuav txheeb xyuas tias ib hom ntawm lub hli orbit yog haum rau lub chaw nres tsheb lunar Gateway chaw nres tsheb uas lub koom haum xav kom tso tawm tom qab kaum xyoo no.
Gateway txoj kev vam meej tsis yog nyob ntawm cov ntaub ntawv no, NASA tus Christopher Baker, tus thawj coj ntawm qhov kev pab cuam lub dav hlau me me, piav qhia rau CNBC ua ntej tshaj tawm. Tab sis, nws tau hais ntxiv, CAPSTONE tso cai rau lub chaw haujlwm ua haujlwm hauv nws qhov kev xam pom "hauv cov ntaub ntawv tiag tiag" thiab muab "kev paub txog kev ua haujlwm hauv qhov ze-rectilinear Halo orbit."
Tam sim no nyob rau hauv orbit nyob ib ncig ntawm lub ntiaj teb, Photon yuav txuas ntxiv tua nws lub cav ntau zaus nyob rau hnub tom ntej, ua ntej xa lub CAPSTONE spacecraft mus rau ib tug trajectory uas yuav siv sij hawm li plaub lub hlis mus txog lub hli. Thaum nyob ntawd, CAPSTONE yuav nyob hauv lub voj voog ncig lub hli tsawg kawg rau lub hlis los sau cov ntaub ntawv.

CAPSTONE tseem sawv cev rau thawj lub luag haujlwm ntawm Rocket Lab mus rau "qhov chaw tob" - venturing dhau lub tuam txhab lub hom phiaj ntawm lub ntiaj teb qis.
NASA tau tig mus rau cov tuam txhab me me los ua CAPSTONE tshwm sim. Ntxiv rau Rocket Lab's Electron foob pob hluav taws thiab Photon spacecraft, Colorado-based Advanced Space tau tsim thiab yuav ua haujlwm CAPSTONE, thaum ob lub tuam txhab California tau tsim lub dav hlau me me thiab muab nws cov propulsion system - Terran Orbital Cov thiab Stellar Exploration, feem.
"Txhua yam tseem ceeb ntawm no yog los ntawm ib lub tuam txhab uas muaj nyob rau hauv 10 xyoo dhau los tau txais txiaj ntsig kev lag luam me los ntawm tsoomfwv los tsim cov thev naus laus zis uas tau siv rau lub luag haujlwm no," NASA's Baker tau hais.
"Peb txaus siab heev txog yuav ua li cas peb tuaj yeem txhawb nqa thiab siv lub peev xwm ua lag luam hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas kom nce qib uas muaj peev xwm - thiab ib qho ntawm peb tau txhawb nqa ntau xyoo dhau los yog qhov peb txuas ntxiv mus txog lub dav hlau me me dhau lub ntiaj teb qis. orbit mus rau nyuaj qhov chaw tshiab, "Baker ntxiv.
