Kutshanje, i-European Space Agency kunye ne-Ariane Group (Paris), inkampani ephambili yoyilo kunye ne-arhente yoyilo lwesithuthi sokuqalisa i-Ariane 6, batyikitye isivumelwano esitsha sophuhliso lobuchwepheshe sokuhlola ukusetyenziswa kwezinto ezidityanisiweyo ze-carbon fiber ukuze kufezekiswe uKhawuleza kwinqanaba eliphezulu lesithuthi sokuqalisa i-Liana 6.
Le njongo iyinxalenye yesicwangciso se-PHOEBUS (Highly Optimized Black Superior Prototype). Iqela le-Ariane libika ukuba esi sicwangciso siza kunciphisa kakhulu iindleko zokuvelisa ezikumgangatho ophezulu kwaye sonyuse ukuvuthwa kobuchwepheshe obulula.
Ngokutsho kwe-Ariane Group, ukuphuculwa okuqhubekayo kwesiqalisi se-Ariane 6, kuquka nokusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji edibeneyo, yeyona nto iphambili ekuphuculeni ukukhuphisana kwayo. I-MT Aerospace (e-Augsburg, eJamani) iya kuyila kunye kwaye ivavanye iprototype yetekhnoloji yokugcina iitanki zokugcina izinto ezidibeneyo ye-PHOEBUS ephucukileyo enobushushu obuphantsi kunye ne-Ariane Group. Le ntsebenziswano yaqala ngoMeyi ka-2019, kwaye ikhontrakthi yokuqala yoyilo lwesigaba se-A/B1 iya kuqhubeka phantsi kwekhontrakthi ye-European Space Agency.
UPierre Godart, i-CEO ye-Ariane Group, uthe: “Enye yemingeni ephambili ejongene nayo ngoku kukuqinisekisa ukuba izinto ezidityanisiweyo zixinene kwaye ziqinile ukuze zikwazi ukumelana nobushushu obuphantsi kakhulu kunye ne-hydrogen engamanzi edlula kakhulu.” Esi sivumelwano sitsha Sibonisa ukuzithemba kwe-European Space Agency kunye ne-German Space Agency, iqela lethu kunye neqabane lethu i-MT Aerospace, sisebenze nabo ixesha elide, ingakumbi kwizixhobo zesinyithi ze-Ariane 6. Siza kuqhubeka sisebenzisana ukugcina iJamani neYurophu zikwindawo ephambili kubuchwepheshe be-cryogenic composite yokugcina i-hydrogen engamanzi kunye ne-oxygen.
Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuvuthwa kwazo zonke iiteknoloji ezifunekayo, i-Ariane Group ithe iza kuncedisa kulwazi lwayo kwiteknoloji yokuqalisa kunye nokuhlanganiswa kwenkqubo, ngelixa i-MT Aerospace iza kuba noxanduva lwezixhobo ezisetyenziswa kwiitanki zokugcina izinto ezidityanisiweyo kunye nezakhiwo phantsi kweemeko zobushushu obuphantsi. Kunye netekhnoloji.
Itekhnoloji ephuhliswe phantsi kwesivumelwano iya kuhlanganiswa kwisibonakaliso esibalaseleyo ukususela ngo-2023 ukungqina ukuba le nkqubo iyahambelana nomxube we-oxygen-hydrogen olwelo ngomlinganiselo omkhulu. I-Ariane Group ithe injongo yayo yokugqibela ne-PHOEBUS kukuvula indlela yophuhliso oluqhubekayo lwe-Ariane olunezinga lesi-6 kunye nokwazisa itekhnoloji yokugcina iitanki ezidityanisiweyo ze-cryogenic kwicandelo leenqwelo moya.
