Ngomhla we-1 ka-Matshi, umenzi we-carbon fiber Hexcel Corporation wase-US ubhengeze ukuba izinto zayo eziphambili ezidibeneyo zikhethwe nguNorthrop Grumman ukwenzela ukuveliswa kwe-booster ekupheleni kobomi kunye nokuphela kobomi be-NASA ye-Artemis 9 Booster Obsolescence kunye ne-Life Extension (BOLE) booster.
INorthrop Grumman Innovation Systems izamana nokuphelelwa lixesha kweenkqubo zokuphehlelelwa kwendawo kuyilo lwe-booster kunye nokuveliswa. I-booster ephuculweyo enefayibha yekhabhoni ekhaphukhaphu ye-Hexcel kunye ne-prepreg iya kubonelela ngokusebenza okwandisiweyo okuya kuxhamlisa uphononongo lwenyanga yexesha elizayo, imisebenzi yesayensi kunye nemisebenzi yeMars ekugqibeleni.
Ukuqala ngemishini ye-Artemis 9, i-BOLE thrusters entsha iya kuthatha indawo yentsimbi kunye neentsimbi zentsimbi ebezifudula zisetyenziswa kwiisistim ze-shuttle space kunye ne-carbon fiber composite hull kunye nezakhiwo eziphuculweyo kunye neziphuculweyo, iinkqubo zokulawula i-electronic thrust vector, kunye nezixhobo ezijikelezayo. Imiba yokuphelelwa lixesha.
Isicelo sokuqala seBOLE eNorthrop Grumman's Cape, kwiplanti yaseUtah. I-Hexcel Advanced Composites iya kusetyenziselwa ukwenza iqokobhe lokuqala elihlanganisiweyo le-BOLE thruster, eliya kusetyenziswa kwiNkqubo yokuQaliswa kweSithuba kuthumo olucwangcisiweyo luka-2031 lwe-Artemis 9.
